Pretty sure Colorado State hired the UConn coach.

Pretty sure Colorado State hired the UConn coach.

Thanks. Hadn't seen that official release yet.

 

[Nococy]

Thanks. Hadn't seen that official release yet.

Press conference is tomorrow

Actually think that’s a solid hire for MSU

Could be, who knows. But someone who hasn’t navigated the current NIL and transfer portal situation, someone who hasn’t recruited in 3 years, hasn’t coached in 3 years…I wouldn’t love spending $33m in buyout money just to get that guy.

Pat Fitzgerald is the new Michigan State head coach.

I highly doubt he's just been sitting on the couch eating potato chips and watching reruns of Seinfeld all day, he knows what he needs to do.

Lane Kiffin is a good coach... but a POS.

He said a day ago he hadn't made a decision, and needed to pray on it.... so funny. I guess god told him last night to take the money and screw over his current players huh?

Honestly, that’s got to be the most wholesome thing anybody has claimed god told them to do in quite some time.

 

[12191987]

Pretty sure Colorado State hired the UConn coach.

From now on Jim Mora will be referred to only as the former UConn coach.

 

[inCyteful]

He wasn't his lead recruiter as far as I'm aware of. Kind of a strange claim.

Well they did stay at a Holiday Inn Express together.

Stein would be a good hire for Kentucky.

Does god ever say “hey maybe this isn’t a great idea?”

Actually think that’s a solid hire for MSU

Northwestern isn’t an easy place to win at. Small selective private school in a pro sports crazed big city, with a high percentage of students who don’t go there for the sports. Second fiddle to Illinois in state and neighbor to Wisconsin.
The fact he had them consistently making bowl games with a couple CCG appearances to boot is a good coaching job. He’s absolutely an upgrade over Smith.

It’s what I would do if I got paid tens of millions to not work.

God just wants you to ******* send it!

 

[SCNCY]

Northwestern isn’t an easy place to win at. Small selective private school in a pro sports crazed big city, with a high percentage of students who don’t go there for the sports. Second fiddle to Notre Dame in state and neighbor to Wisconsin & Illinois.

FIFY.

The AD needs to record the conversation as proof of tampering.

Also another reason to not let him coach. If you do he has full access to the players and coaches. Once he says he’s leaving, you show him the door and take his keys so you have a shot to get him for tampering.
