The 2025 Offseason Coaching Carousel (5/23/2025)

Late last week, news broke that Army West Point head coach Kevin Ward had stepped down from his position leading the Black Knights after 11 years. On Monday, we found out the reason Ward left his position at West Point was to head to his alma mater, Oklahoma State, as an assistant coach. 

Ward’s move might have helped give a jump start to the coaching carousel for the 2025 offseason. As of now, it has been unusually quiet. With his former position open, there are a pair of head coaching opportunities currently available. 

Aside from Ward’s move, the only coaching hires that we have seen are a pair of graduates staying with their respective teams in a coaching role. Two-time national champion Keegan O’Toole being the first and, yesterday, Binghamton announced that 2025 EIWA champion Brevin Cassella would stay on the Bearcats coaching staff. 

Below are the moves that we’ve tracked thus far - along with some open DI coaching positions that we’re aware of at this time. This list will surely grow in the coming weeks and months.
