Breaking: Kevin Willard reportedly set to leave Maryland for Villanova
Villanova is set to hire Maryland’s Kevin Willard as its next head coach, sources told FOX Sports early Sunday morning.
Willard is departing College Park after going 65-38 over the last three seasons with two NCAA Tournament trips and taking the Terrapins to the program’s first Sweet 16 since 2016. Maryland fell to No. 1-seeded Florida, 87-71, on Thursday.
Before arriving at Maryland in 2022, Willard spent 12 years coaching in the Big East at Seton Hall, where he charged the Pirates to five NCAA Tournaments in six seasons before departing for College Park.
