Larry Brown agreed to coach SMU

Larry Brown has agreed to become the head coach at SMU, sources told ESPN.com. An official announcement could come as early as Tuesday.

The only holdup involves Brown's assistants. Sources said that Brown has offered Illinois State coach Tim Jankovich a "coach-in-waiting position." Jankovich is leaning toward accepting the job, but he's also conflicted about leaving a Redbirds squad that returns every key player from last season's 21-14 team.

Former Illinois assistant Jerrance Howard is also expected to join Brown's staff along with former Kentucky assistant Rod Strickland.

Brown, 71, is the only coach in history to win an NCAA title and an NCAA championship. He has not coached since 2010, when he resigned from the NBA's Charlotte Bobcats.
