Texas Parts Ways with Head Coach Rodney Terry After First Four Exit

The Longhorns fire Terry following a disappointing season, beginning their search for a new leader as the NCAA transfer portal opens.

Rodney Terry was fired after Texas's 86-80 loss to Xavier in the First Four of the NCAA Tournament, ending his tenure with a 62-38 record over two-plus seasons.
Terry's tenure included an Elite Eight appearance and a Big 12 tournament title in 2023 but fell short of sustaining long-term success in the SEC.
The 2024-2025 season saw Texas struggle with consistency, finishing 6-12 in conference play despite seven Quad 1 wins and a No. 11 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
Potential candidates to replace Terry reportedly include Grant McCasland, TJ Otzelberger, and Royal Ivey, as Texas looks to stabilize its program.
The firing comes ahead of the NCAA transfer portal opening, intensifying the urgency for Texas to secure a new head coach to rebuild its roster.
