This thread is about actual, reported job openings for head coaches in men's college basketball as we transition to the 2026-27 season... who's out, who's in.

(If you just want to speculate, about Hubert Davis or anyone else, we already have a MBB: Coaching Hot Seat thread for that purpose. Go there.)


I know of 7 Division I openings so far.
