USC basketball coach Andy Enfield was hired Monday for the same job at Southern Methodist University, ending his 11-year run with the Trojans.
"On behalf of USC Athletics, I want to thank Andy Enfield for his 11 seasons of leadership and service to the university," USC Athletic Director Jennifer Cohen said in a statement. "He elevated and established USC men's basketball as a premier program with a strong national presence. We are so grateful for everything Andy accomplished and we wish him, Amanda, Aila, Lily and Marcum all the best in this new chapter of their lives.

"Our national search for a new head coach is underway and I am confident that we will find the right person to lead our program," Cohen said. "We have a track record of competitiveness, passionate supporters and fans, a robust donor collective and are about to compete in the nation's premier athletic conference. There is no ceiling to what our program can achieve and I look forward to introducing our next head coach."
Enfield had a 220-147 record with the Trojans and led the team to the Elite Eight in 2021.
"I am so excited to join the SMU family," Enfield said in a statement. "It is an incredible time for the university as we enter the ACC. The investments SMU has made in athletics, the support and alignment from leadership -- President (R. Gerald) Turner, (Athletic Director) Rick Hart, (SMU Board Chair) David Miller and others -- as well as the passion of the SMU fan base and community made this an incredibly attractive opportunity. We will make Mustang fans and the city of Dallas proud and cannot wait to get started."
