HBCU LEGENDS:
Texas Southern University has hired a national search firm to recruit the next men’s head basketball coach, a position considered one of SWAC’s most coveted jobs. The university confirmed with HBCU Legends on Wednesday that DHR Global will lead the search. This agreement moves them closer to ending a coaching vacancy created by Johnny Jones’s departure, with interim head coach Shyrone Chatman guiding the team during the transition.
DHR Global emerged from what the university described as a competitive review process. The firm will help Texas Southern build and vet a broad pool of candidates capable of sustaining a program that ranks among the conference’s modern standard-bearers. With the process underway, the university said it will make no further public comment until a sole finalist is named, a stance meant to protect candidate confidentiality and broaden the field.
