Head coaches

Coaching changes

Many coaching changes were made during the offseason. UTRGV Coach Lew Hill shockingly died during the previous season on February 7, 2021.[10] Jai Steadman then acted as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. Several months later, UTRGV announced Matt Figger as Hill's permanent replacement.[11] Chicago State head coach Lance Irvin was fired in the offseason, posting a 7-54 overall record during his tenure.[12] The Cougars tabbed Samford assistant coach Gerald Gillion to be their new head coach.[13] Former Abilene Christian head coach Joe Golding left his position to take on a new position at UTEP, and his replacement was announced to be Brette Tanner, who was the associate head coach for ACU for 7 seasons.[14] Lamar head coach Tic Price was fired shortly after the season ended,[15] and Lamar hired Alvin Brooks, a former Lamar player himself, as their new head coach.[16]
