SMU Nears Deal with USC's Andy Enfield for Head Coach Position

As SMU prepares for its ACC debut, the pursuit of Enfield signifies a major strategic move.

SMU is reportedly close to hiring USC's Andy Enfield as their new head basketball coach, following the firing of Rob Lanier.
Enfield has been at USC for 11 seasons, achieving a 261-175 record and making five NCAA tournament appearances.
SMU's move to the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) next season is a significant factor in their pursuit of a high-profile coach like Enfield.
USC, preparing for its own transition to the Big Ten in the 2024-25 season, faces a marquee hiring challenge.
Enfield's potential departure is influenced by his success, including leading Florida Gulf Coast to the Sweet Sixteen as a 15th seed.
