Cincinnati hires Jerrod Calhoun: Utah State coach leaving after two years to guide his alma mater
The next high-major hiring is off the board, as the expected homecoming move of Jerrod Calhoun to Cincinnati has been agreed to in writing, sources told CBS Sports. The public announcement is expected in the coming 24 hours, according a source.
Calhoun is a UC alum and fresh off back-to-back NCAA Tournament runs with the Utah State Aggies. Ninth-seeded USU fell Sunday night in San Diego to top-seeded Arizona, 78-66, capping off a 29-7 season that included a double sweep of the Mountain West. It's a six-year contract with the Bearcats, a source added.
Calhoun went 55-15 in two seasons at Utah State, becoming the latest coach at that program to use it as a springboard to a power-conference job. Danny Sprinkle (Washington), Ryan Odom (VCU) and Craig Smith (Utah) all made similar moves out of Logan, Utah, in the past five years.
