> “It’s been the honor of a lifetime to lead this franchise,” Kerr stated. “But after much thought and reflection, I’ve decided it’s time for me to step away and focus on the next chapter of my life. I leave with nothing but gratitude for the organization, the fans, and most importantly — the players.”
