CINCINNATI — The Bearcats are rolling with South Carolina assistant coach Tim Buckley in the same role on Wes Miller's staff. The Big Spur's John Whittle reported the news as Buckley rounds out a fantastic offseason for Cincinnati.

He replaces Josh Loeffler as a helpful tactician on the sideline following Loeffler's exit for a head coaching position this offseason.

Buckley's been with South Carolina since 2022. He joined the Gamecocks after spending three seasons as an assistant at UNLV (2019-22) prior to his arrival in Columbia. It's a similar situation to how Chad Dollar came to Cincinnati. Dollar spent multiple seasons on the Georgia staff before helping drive a serious recruiting boost at UC.

Buckley, who began his coaching career in 1986, has coached at schools like Wisconsin, Marquette, Iowa and Indiana.
