Providence is set to hire South Florida head coach Bryan Hodgson to the same post, multiple media outlets reported Sunday morning.
Per reports, Hodgson will sign a five-year deal with the Friars. He leaves the Bulls after just one season and a 25-9 record.
Hodgson, 38, will replace Kim English, who was fired on March 13 after three seasons with Providence.
The Friars finished the 2025-26 season with a 15-18 record (7-13 Big East). They were 21-14 in English's first season and 12-20 in his second.
As for Hodgson, he coached the American Conference champion Bulls to their first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2012. The Bulls, the No. 11 seed in the East Region, lost to No. 6 seed Louisville in the first round on Thursday.
Hodgson joined South Florida after two seasons as the head coach at Arkansas State, posting a 45-28 record. The Red Wolves finished 25-11 during Hodgson's final season, winning the Sun Belt regular-season championship before falling to North Texas in the NIT second round.
