Texas Longhorns Expected to Part Ways with Head Coach Rodney Terry
The Texas Longhorns are reportedly set to move on from head coach Rodney Terry after nearly three seasons leading the team.
AUSTIN — With the offseason officially underway, the Texas Longhorns are expected to begin a coaching search, as reports indicate the university is unlikely to retain Rodney Terry following the team’s 86-80 loss to Xavier in the First Four on Wednesday. The Longhorns finished the 2024-25 season with a 19-16 record.
According to Chip Brown of Horns247 and Jeff Goodman of The Field of 68, sources suggest Texas will part ways with Terry after two consecutive years of barely qualifying for the NCAA Tournament, only to be eliminated in the First Four this season. Goodman shared the news on social media, noting that the coaching change seems imminent.
If this marks the end of Terry’s tenure, he will finish with a 62-37 record as head coach at Texas, including a 4-3 record in the NCAA Tournament, counting Wednesday’s First Four loss.
Earlier this season, Terry was met with scattered boos during pregame introductions before a game against Alabama, a sign of the criticism he had faced from some fans throughout the season. With his tenure now possibly coming to an end, it seems that many Longhorns supporters could finally see the change they were hoping for.
In response to the boos, Terry remained focused on his team. “I don’t pay attention to that kind of stuff. I didn’t hear any boos, I don’t know,” Terry said after the Alabama game. “Maybe there were boos, but to me personally, I’m all about trying to get my team better. It’s about focusing on those guys and what we need to do as a program to stay the course and keep working. I don’t get caught up in outside noise. If I’m worried about what people are saying, that’s not my job. There’s nothing anyone can say or do to bring me down. I’ve got the number one protector in God, and I’ve got strong faith. I’m a Christian, and I won’t be affected by what others say.”
As Texas enters its second year in the SEC, it’s possible that both the roster and coaching staff will undergo significant changes.
