Is anybody else underwhelmed? He is slightly above .500 for his coaching career. I get that he is a family man and gives us a better chance of keeping him in Logan for a while but he hasn't really done anything super impressive?

Check the success of SUU and Bowling Green before he arrived.

That will answer your question.

I guess my only counter is that he isn't taking over a losing program. He is taking over a powerhouse that isn't just wanting to win but compete at the national level in the tournament. He hasn't done any of that. He may have good recruiting ties and whatnot but what has he done with them?

Well, so far has he has turned two bad programs into winning programs. Hopefully he can continue to win if he takes over a winning program.

Lol Wth. Did someone leak Todd Simon as purposeful fake news?? I'm skeptical here.

They’re scooping out the leaker? I trust the local connections over whoever leaked to Goodman

but is our ad following Tod K on twitter, haha?

My cynical thought is that Goodman is also friends with Kowalczyk's agent and is trying to help him get a raise at Toledo. It sure seemed to work well for Sprinkle. But who knows what is going on? I would be very happy with either Simon or Kowalczyk, so I'm not worried either way.

Scotty G seems to agree with Goodman:

My conspiracy theory is that our AD was annoyed with Goodman for leaking the Sprinkle news so early, so now they're feeding him false info so he looks like an idiot.

Not So Fast.

. Deal is not done, but Tod K is the frontrunner as the process heads towards the finish line.

I am "whelmed." I was about a 6/10 in terms of excitement on every candidate mentioned. I like Simon as a potential long-term fit better than Hill and TK. My concern with him is constructing a competitive roster for next year. I hope he has one or two helpful players follow him from BGSU and can convince at least three current USU rotation players to stay.

EDIT: just saw that TK has regained the lead, which is also fine. I am a 6/10 on him as well.

My favorite part is talking about how rich we are as a school

It's all relative, I guess.

Or Simon is going back and forth with USU and Fresno to try and get best offer, so we're pivoting?

Maybe both Tod(d)s are coming!

8/10 on Simon
6/10 on Kowalczyk

22 just tweeted it's TK. I wanted TS. bummer.

TK is still a good pick.

I'm bummed a bit. I was all on board with Todd Simon.

That would honestly be great - and I would be an even bigger fan of Sabau if anything like this was the case.

I would be okay with either of these coaches - but I definitely prefer Simon.

I was as well. I like that he was younger and most importantly coached/recruited in Utah/west which i think is huge key/advantage. Tod is still a really solid candidate just thought Todd longer term was better.

Did Sabau put her finger on the scale here too much? Meh

Thanks a lot guys, I was getting excited for Simon....

It has been quite the rollercoaster week for we Aggie fans.

I am the exact opposite. Love either, but happier with Tod

Toledo does have 2 really good incoming freshman, one was offered by Iowa State

We need transfers though

Boring hire the banishes us to the same mediocrity as Toledo. The dude is 3 years way from retirement, has zero energy to push a program beyond where is ever been. No ties to the west. No recruiting power. THIS IS A TERRIBLE HIRE. And it’s because sabua is a bad AD that went with a coach from her hometown. She is going to run this university into the mud. It’s already started.

Crap. That sucks. I really think Simon was the right hire.

Yeah this feels like an AD from Ohio that made the wrong choice for a school in Utah

What is enticing about him in Utah ???

He has ZERO ties here ?
