D1 Men's hoops Coaching Carousel 2026

ESPN: The 2026 men's college basketball coaching carousel guide


Two main sections

1. Jobs Already Open, led by KState

2. Jobs That Could Open, including some seats that looked hot at the start of the season but may have cooled off a bit as the teams have done better than originally projected, starting with UNC's Hubert Davis looking to be good for at least another year after this one - especially if the tarred ones have a good post-season run.

ASU parting with B. Hurley not picked up yet.

Did you know Billy Gillispie was still coaching D1? Just let go by WAC’s Tarleton State.

Of note - KU’s own Mark Turgeon is the new HC for the UMKC Roos, or KC Roos as they are now called.
Best of luck to him!

Rock Chalk, Jayhawk!

Just heard on ESPN - Syracuse has fired Boeheim's replacement Adrian Autry after 3 years. National search underway.

I updated the OP adding the link below containing a simple "OUT/IN" list from USAToday Sports.

*Hey - now there really is a Kansas City Jayhawk!
2022 NCAAT title award ceremony and the flub by then NCAA President Mark Emmert... still perhaps the most publicly embarrassing moment for an NCAA chief in the history of the organization, especially given the context. I almost never post a link to anything written by tigger sycophant and apologist Pat Forde, but his article in SI on the departure of Emmert (announced within weeks of the KU title win) does a pretty good job of describing the inadequacies of the Emmert administration.
si.com: Goodbye, NCAA President Mark Emmert, and Good Luck to Whomever Takes Your Place
He was able to avoid the spotlight and outright mutiny. But the figurehead’s blunders and overall inaction has all but stripped the NCAA of any power and credibility.

Buenas noches, Tuesday 2026-03-24.

UNC fired Hubert Davis USAToday: What Hubert Davis said after UNC basketball fired him

HUBERT DAVIS in 5 years at UNC
125–54 (.698) 68–30 (.694)

If/when Bill steps down, if his replacement is winning 70% of his games I hope KANSAS does not UCLA post Wooden UNC post Williams Bill's replacement. UCLA drove off some excellent coaches after Wooden. UNC was shaky after Dean until luring Roy home, and now there is blood in the water.

Really hoping Bill stays at least another year, health permitting of course.

I do not relish the idea of a coaching search when the headliner is UNC.- and you know it will be.
The marquees will all read

COACHING VACANCIES
UNC
KANSAS
All the others

I want KANSAS to be the only truly big dog when the time comes.

Here's CBS latest update, which was published before the Davis firing.
