Coaching career

Flanigan began his coaching career with a four-year stint at Northwest Mississippi Community College as an assistant coach, before joining Little Rock as an assistant for his first go-around. He followed that up with assistant coaching stops at UAB, Nebraska, and Mississippi St. before returning to Little Rock as an assistant under Chris Beard, where he was part of the Trojans' 2016 NCAA tournament team which defeated Purdue in the first round.[4][5]

When Beard left for the head coaching position at Texas Tech, Flanigan was elevated to the head coaching position.

In March 2018, the Trojans fired Flanigan after his second season with the team.[6] A month later, on April 16, he was hired by Bruce Pearl to be assistant at his alma mater, Auburn.[7]
