Texas has fired Rodney Terry

Did everyone see Coach Wardle's response, or non-answer, last night when asked about the Iowa coaching job? - https://x.com/hoijim/status/1902570161346867316

It is interesting that Iowa still hasn't hired anyone, and there has been little news coming out about where they are in their search for a replacement for Fran McCaffery since he was let go a week ago, or who they have interviewed. Could they already have a possible candidate targeted?
I am hearing from a source that Iowa has had talks with Coach W.

they're waiting on McCollum

What a shame that would be if true. My personal opinion is he will stick around for a few more years. If true he will not say anything until the proper time. And on top of that trying to keep his team focused on the NIT.

Agreed

I guess anyone can be lured to a high major Conference as I do believe Coach W has talked with Iowa! However, you have to believe now more then ever after Drake's win last night, Iowa wants McCollum! I mean it fits perfectly for Iowa and Drake coach from Iowa City! I'll be shocked if this doesn't happen! I think Coach W has to get BU back to the NCAA to get serious consideration from high Majors!!!! I think that's great because Brian just recruited his best freshman class ever and I'm sure he would like to see next year or minimum 2 years from now, if he can land Bradley again in March Madness! Then I expect he could leave if the right opportunity comes along!

McCollum is in negotiations with Iowa currently, we will see if it gets announced after Drake is done

He is finalizing a deal should be announced if it doesn't fall through

Sean Miller is rumored to be replacing him which would open up Xavier

Rodney Terry at Texas - almost 3 years, total record 69-28 ( avg 23-9 )
3 NCAA appearances, record 3-3
best players leaving with no notice for more NIL - took in Jayson Kent, Julian Larry & other transfers- now fired with 3 years left on his contract at over $3 million per year. Crazy.

Terry was disliked by most Texas basketball fans. A search of social media shows most are very happy he is gone.
There are reports that Texas will hire Sean Miller, the current head coach at Xavier.

That was quick. Obviously it was orchestrated well in advance.
Ironic, since Rodney Terry's Texas team was just eliminated last Wednesday from the NCAA First Four by Sean Miller's Xavier team. Then Xavier lost their next game to Illinois.

Another poorly kept secret- McNeese State's Will Wade is the new head coach at North Carolina State - https://x.com/PackMensBball/status/1903870248203231307
