Jerrod Calhoun Set to Take Over as Cincinnati's New Head Coach
Jerrod Calhoun, the former Utah State coach, is expected to be announced as the new head coach for Cincinnati this week. Despite his team's loss to Arizona in the NCAA Tournament, Calhoun is likely to take on the role at his alma mater. The move is anticipated to happen swiftly, with Calhoun emerging as the frontrunner for the position. His ties to Cincinnati, where he graduated in 2004, make him a strong candidate for the job.
Calhoun's potential appointment comes after he turned down the Kansas State job and is now considered one of the top options for schools seeking a new head coach. His experience and success at Utah State have garnered attention from various programs, with Cincinnati being a prime destination for him. The speculation surrounding his coaching future has been ongoing, but it seems that his move to Cincinnati is imminent.
With a general manager like Corey Evans already in place at Cincinnati, Calhoun is expected to have a smoother transition into the program. Evans' presence can help Calhoun establish relationships with the current players on the team, although retaining all of them may pose a challenge. The upcoming era of Cincinnati basketball is on the horizon, with Calhoun's potential arrival signaling a new chapter for the team.
