Buzz Williams took the Maryland job on Tuesday and the Texas A&M basketball coaching search is now underway. It is the latest change for an athletic department that has hired a new athletic director, football coach, women’s basketball coach and baseball coach in the past three years. Williams took the Aggies to three straight NCAA Tournaments and had them ranked in the top 10 at one point in 2025.
The SEC, however, is ultra-competitive and this is a critical hire for a program looking to keep pace in a conference that sent a whopping seven teams to the Sweet 16 this year. If you love the Aggies, or just want to know who will be calling the shots for Texas A&M in the future, be sure to see what the proven experts are saying at GigEm247, the 247Sports affiliate that covers Texas A&M.

Top Texas A&M basketball coach candidates
One name the staff has identified as a potential target on the Texas A&M basketball coaching hot board is High Point head coach Alan Huss. After a decade of high school coaching, Huss was an assistant at New Mexico (2014-17) and Creighton (2017-23) before taking over at High Point in 2023.
He’s won the Big South regular season title in back-to-back years and also won the Big South Tournament this season, guiding the Panthers to their first ever March Madness appearance.
High Point ranked 22nd nationally in scoring offense this season (81.7 points per game) and that high-flying style could play well at A&M after six years with a more defensively-oriented approach. Get more Texas A&M coaching search updates at GigEm247.
