Steve Kerr explains why Warriors were 'gold mine' long before hiring

Warriors coach Steve Kerr has solidified himself as one of the franchise’s greatest coaches of all time, winning three NBA championships in five seasons and leading Golden State to 73 wins in 2015-16, the best regular-season record in league history. The organization hadn’t experienced extended playoff success in decades before Kerr arrived.

Kerr says he recognized the allure of joining the Warriors long before he accepted the offer to become the organization’s head coach in 2014.

“I think what a lot of people saw was a gold mine, just waiting to be mined,” Kerr said on 95.
