Utah State head coach Jerrod Calhoun is set to take the same position at Cincinnati, several reports said Monday.
Calhoun will replace Wes Miller, whom Cincinnati bought out after five years as its head coach and no trips to the NCAA Tournament.
Calhoun, 44, is an Ohio native who attended Cincinnati and served as a student assistant under Bob Huggins in 2003-04.
Calhoun worked under Huggins again on the staff at West Virginia (2007-12) before becoming a head coach for the first time. He has held the main job at Division II Fairmont State (2012-17), Youngstown State (2017-24) and Utah State.
He leaves behind a Utah State program that he coached to an impressive 55-15 record over two seasons. The Aggies made the NCAA Tournament and held an AP Top 25 ranking for at least one week in each season under Calhoun.
No. 9 seed Utah State defeated No. 8 Villanova in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday before falling to top seed Arizona 78-66 on Sunday.
Utah State is in the market for a new head coach for the fourth time this decade. After Craig Smith left for rival Utah in 2021, the Aggies hired Ryan Odom, who stayed two seasons before taking over VCU and now Virginia.
Following Odom was one season under Danny Sprinkle, who coached Utah State to an NCAA Tournament win and promptly jumped to Washington. That's when the Aggies hired Calhoun, who had gone 118-106 in seven years at Youngstown State.
