Colorado State Opening

https://www.denverpost.com/2018/02/08/larry-eustachy-to-be-fired-colorado-state/ Larry Eustachy to be fired at CSU. I'd keep an eye on Craig Smith for this job.

that would be the perfect job for him - and he'd have to be the top candidate I would imagine.

[AuroranHusker]

Amazed that Eustachy lasted as long as he did there.

His personality is practically night and day different from Eustachy as well. So that helps.

Things appear to be awfully toxic within the Rams' hoops program right now:

 

 

Rams fans talking about Craig Smith or Niko Medved as likely candidates...

Does this mean they're going to find their way into the NIT and win it all now?

I am sort of thinking that Coach Smith would not want the CSU job.  If it is a step up, it is not a dramatic jump.  I could see Coach Smith moving, but I think the job would need to be more significant.  Then again, I could be totally wrong.

Coach Smith is having a hell of a year.  I could see him get a lot of higher profile gigs than CSU.

He'll need to get to the dance and win a game or two to do better than a G5 job this year, IMO.

I agree.  With the right matchup, I think he could do it though.

He almost took the Drake job.  I"m not sure how much that pays but coaching at Colorado St and in the Mountain West is a jump over Drake and the  MVC and a big jump from the Summit league.  His salary for the head coach at South Dakota is around $275k...which is approximately what one makes as an assistant coach at Nebraska. Eustachy is making around $1 million.

And they already know him from his first go around there correct?

I think that would apply to both Craig Smith & Niko Medved.

WOW!  Strong words from Graham there.

 

Who else thinks Coach Smith gets a long look for this job?

Sure.

This would be quite groundbreaking

Although, she would not be an internal candidate.

I think they mean from an insider's point-of-view. Poorly conceived phrase.

[HuskerFever]

Colorado State is still hunting for a replacement.

Former Husker assistant Ali Farokhmanesh had joined Medved for a one-year stint at Drake. Would be interested to know if Ali is going to CSU with Niko......

So are we assuming Coach Smith was not offered the position?

[Cowboy Kermit]

Surprises me to see Niko bolt to Fort Collins after only one year. Thought he was laying a good foundation for Drake to do well in the Valley. Interested in wear Ali ends up as well.
