Central Michigan fired coach Tony Barbee on Thursday after four seasons.
The Chippewas went 14-17 this season and 49-75 in Barbee’s four seasons at the helm.
Barbee, 53, had one winning season at Central Michigan, going 18-14 during the 2023-24 season.
“At this time, I have determined that we need to go in a different direction with the leadership of our men’s basketball program,” athletic director Amy Folan said in a news release. “I want to thank Tony for his dedication and service during his last four years in Mount Pleasant. We wish him the best in his future endeavors.
“I am confident that we will attract a high-caliber candidate pool during our head coaching search. This is a tremendous opportunity, and we know that our community will rally behind our next Chippewa men’s basketball coach.”
Barbee also went 49-75 in a four-season stint at Auburn from 2010-14. Prior to that, Barbee went 82-52 at UTEP from 2006-10, leading the Miners to a 26-7 record and a NCAA Tournament appearance during the 2009-10 campaign.
