Overview

  • Providence announced Hodgson as its 17th head coach, replacing Kim English after a 15-18 season.
  • In his lone year at South Florida, Hodgson went 25-9 with AAC regular-season and tournament titles and an NCAA berth that ended against Louisville.
  • USF confirmed his departure, saying it sought to retain him and has begun the search for a successor.
  • Multiple outlets report Providence agreed to a five-year deal and plans to operate north of $10 million in NIL and revenue sharing for 2026-27.
  • The timing gives Hodgson a head start before the transfer portal opens April 7, and he brings a 70-37 head-coaching record plus recruiting pedigree from stints under Nate Oats at Buffalo and Alabama.
