Villanova fires Kyle Neptune after three seasons. Where will the Wildcats turn next?
The Wildcats are likely to consider several candidates for the head coaching position, with Northwestern’s Chris Collins emerging as a top choice. Other potential contenders include Ben McCollum from Drake, Richard Pitino from New Mexico, Mark Byington from Vanderbilt, and Niko Medved from Colorado State, according to sources connected to FOX Sports.
In the interim, Assistant Coach Mike Nardi will take charge as the acting head coach while the search for a permanent replacement begins. Villanova, a program that once dominated college basketball under the legendary Jay Wright, now finds itself in a unique position. This search presents an opportunity for the Wildcats to explore fresh perspectives, as they may need to look beyond their traditional family of coaches to find the right fit.
