Texas A&M basketball is moving on from coach Billy Kennedy and a nationwide search for his replacement is on.
The Aggies announced that Kennedy had been fired on Friday after eight seasons in College Station.
A&M, which was 14-18, finished near the bottom of the Southeastern Conference at 6-12. After beating Vanderbilt in the first round of the SEC tournament, the Aggies lost to Mississippi State by 26 on Thursday, ending A&M’s season.
Some of the leading candidates to replace Kennedy are Virginia Tech coach Buzz Williams and University of Houston coach Kelvin Sampson.
