A proven winner, Enfield burst onto the coaching scene in 2013 when, in his second year as a head coach, he guided Florida Gulf Coast to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament. Following that success, he was hired by Southern Cal, where he has led the Trojans to five of the last eight NCAA Tournaments, including a run to the Elite Eight in 2021.
“We are excited to announce Andy Enfield as Head Men’s Basketball Coach at SMU,” said Hart. “Coach Enfield is enthusiastic about joining the Mustang family and the ACC. He has a strong track record of building winning teams on the court and in the classroom and pursuing championships with integrity. We believe he is a game changer for SMU Men’s Basketball.”
Andy Enfield arrives on the Hilltop just three months before the University joins the Atlantic Coast Conference.
He comes to SMU after 11 seasons at USC, where he compiled a 220-147 record and led the Trojans into the postseason six times in 10 possible seasons (the 2019-20 postseason was canceled due to COVID), including five NCAA Tournament berths and one NIT appearance.
Andy Enfield quickly brought success to the basketball program upon his arrival, as the Trojans set a school single-season win record and posted the most wins in program history over two-year, three-year, four-year, five-year, six-year, seven-year and eight-year periods. Enfield’s 220 wins ranks third on USC’s all-time wins list, trailing only Sam Barry (260) and Forrest Twogood (251). In 13 seasons as a head coach Enfield has a 261-175 mark.
