Eric Konkol, the longtime assistant for Jim Larranaga, will reportedly take the reins of his own program.
Jeff Goodman of ESPN and Gary Parrish of CBS Sportsreported just after midnight on Sunday that Konkol had agreed to terms to become Louisiana Tech’s head coach.
Konkol will replace Michael White, who filled the vacancy at Florida after future Hall of Famer Billy Donovan jumped to the NBA.
Parrish reported that North Florida’s Matt Driscoll, Oklahoma assistant Steve Henson and Baylor assistant Jerome Tang were among the other candidates. Current and former Louisiana Tech players had used social media to push for assistant coach Dusty May to get the job.
