Texas A&M has set its sights on Oklahoma head coach Porter Moser as a potential candidate to fill its men’s basketball head coaching vacancy, according to multiple sources close to the program. The Aggies are exploring all options following the departure of head coach Buzz Williams, and Moser’s name has emerged as a serious contender during the early stages of the search.
Moser, who gained national attention for leading Loyola Chicago to a Cinderella Final Four run in 2018, has built a reputation as a defensive-minded, culture-driven leader. His current tenure at Oklahoma has had its ups and downs, but his coaching style and experience in major conferences like the Big 12 make him a compelling option for Texas A&M, which is eager to reestablish itself as a competitive force in the SEC.
Sources say representatives from Texas A&M have “connected” with Moser’s camp in recent days, signaling early mutual interest. While no formal offer has been made, the conversations reflect the Aggies’ intention to act quickly and decisively in their hiring process.
For Moser, the opportunity to join Texas A&M would come with access to strong recruiting resources, passionate fan support, and a program hungry for a breakthrough. The Aggies narrowly missed the NCAA Tournament this past season, and the administration appears determined to chart a new direction.
Should Moser make the move, it would mark his third head coaching stop at a high-major program, adding another chapter to a career defined by patience, adaptability, and program-building.
As Texas A&M continues its search, other names have surfaced as possibilities, but the focus on Moser could signal the school’s desire for a proven leader with tournament experience and the ability to build a sustainable, winning culture.
The coaching carousel is just getting started, and all eyes in College Station are watching closely as Texas A&M looks to land the right architect for its basketball future.
