Also keep in mind that agents love to leak their clients' names to try to raise their profile/get a raise from their current employers. I would bet money that Sprinkle's agent was the one who first leaked the news that Washington was interested in him. That led to Sabau giving him a fat extension offer and Washington giving him an even fatter offer. I think it is less likely that Sabau is "plugging leaks" than it is that some agents are trying to convince some USU insiders that their guy is the guy.
Agreed. Agents are terrible people. They have messed up sports big time. NOTHING that an agent does would surprise me.

Not that there aren't slimy agents out there, but linking your boss to a better job to help him get more money seems like a pretty mild sin as far as that goes.

And as I thought about it some more, another strong possibility is that an offer was made to one candidate but they made a counteroffer that USU doesn't want to accept and/or USU has reason to believe that he is just trying to get a raise from his current employer and isn't a serious candidate. I guess we will find out soon enough. I would be very happy with either Simon or Kowalczyk. I hope this isn't a sign that they both declined the offer.

Hey Aggies,

It's me, Coach K, and I'm here to confirm I've received an offer. Thanks, Diana! A few questions for you:

1. I love to ski. Where's the best ski resort near Utah State?
2. I love ice cream. Any good ice cream shops near campus?
3. I'm looking for a good greasy spoon diner. Does Logan have one of those?
4. I'll be building a home right away. Where's the best place in Cache Valley to build?

Looking forward to our 2024-2025 season. Goooooooo Aggies!
Welcome coach.

1. Ski the Beav!
2. Aggie Blue Mint.
3. Angie's. It's where the locals eat!
4. One of the locals will have to answer this one. I haven't been around Logan for years.

Now that you're here, please know that we are Utah State University. We win in the postseason, so you'd better bring your A game. If you can't get us to the Sweet Sixteen in the next three years, you'd better start looking for another job.

Thanks! And Aggie Blue Mint?! That line item in my contract is making a lot more sense now. Diana at her team indicated I would get one gallon of it for every MWC win, and I would get 10 gallons of it for every post-season tournament win. Must be pretty good stuff.

Sabau is either playing some 4-D level chess here or is getting exposed.

A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma leaked by a rumor propagated from the star chamber. The game within the game is the game that only Sabau sees.

It's funny that you say that. I hope Diana didn't tell you she flew me in on the Laub's Cessna Citation. It was a nice flight. I heard you were pretty excited about flying into Salt Lake on Delta's Comfort+. lol.

I am, however, impressed with your recent offensive numbers. If you're up for it, I'd be willing to consider you for my staff. When I retire in 2035, the job could be yours.

I heard they both want the job so bad they keep undercutting each other's offer. Todd's final offer was that he was willing to work for free. Then Tod offered to pay USU for the opportunity to coach here, thus he's the current leader.

Looks like you have gotten some good advice so far.

As to number 4 I think historically the coaches have lived up on the North Logan bench or just across the border in Logan.

I bet this house will be going up for sale soon... I bet you could get a deal on it... I hear the seller is motivated to get out of town.

At this point, how do we even know this 'Diane Sabau' person exists? Sure, we've seen pictures and some people claim to have met her, but how do they know it was her? Who has seen her birth certificate?

To me, she's a phantom. Second cousin to Harvey the Rabbit. A ghost story sports journos tell their kids: "expose a source and Diane Sabau will get you".

But I admire her scorched earth approach. Soon, all of USU will be hers.

Also, if any of you have family or friends who are interested in some old Toledo gear, I'm putting some of it up for sale on Ebay: https://bit.ly/3PCjpXC Anything will help with the move.

Im telling you, you can probably get a deal on this property. The owner probably forgot he even owns it. He closed on it in September... and reportedly has been in commuting from Seattle since December.

With all due respect, Tod. This job is mine. You can take the 'D' out of my name, but you can't take my job. Go Aggies.
This is the most entertaining thread this week! I love it!
We have some Todd on Tod violence!

Yeah, I'm Tod. Just Tod, with a single "d." You might wonder why that's worth mentioning. Well, let me tell you, it's a story that's a bit out of the ordinary, all thanks to my mom. She's got this way of doing things that's... let's just say, unique. And the story of how I got my name? It's classic her.

So, here's the deal. When I was born, my mom decided to name me Tod, intentionally skipping that extra "d" you see in most "Todd"s. Now, if you're scratching your head, wondering, "Why the fuss over an extra letter?" you're not alone. But in my mom's eyes, it was more than just a letter; it was a statement.

You see, my mom has always had this philosophy about life: Keep it simple, keep it meaningful. She believes in cutting through the clutter, focusing on what's truly important, and letting go of the excess. And that's exactly what she did with my name.

I figure you Aggie fans (Us Aggies, now) care about simplicity and avoiding excess. You probably want to avoid excess losses like Todd's loss against us (Toledo) this season in our house, 88-72. Or maybe you want to avoid excess mid-conference finishes like Bowling Green's 5th-place finish in the MAC. If you want excess losses and excess mediocrity, Todd's your guy. If you want to win regular season titles, look no further than me (Tod).

And that's how I became Tod, with one "d." It's a reminder to keep things simple, to focus on what truly matters, and to take every shot in life with purpose, not with excess baggage. Thanks to Mom, every time I introduce myself, I remember that lesson. And you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way.

With all due respect, Tod. This job is mine. You can take the 'D' out of my name, but you can't take my job. Go Aggies.
It's funny that you say that. I hope Diana didn't tell you she flew me in on the Laub's N15CV jet. It was a nice flight. I heard you were pretty excited about flying into Salt Lake on Delta's Comfort+. lol.

I am, however, impressed with your recent offensive numbers. If you're up for it, I'd be willing to consider you for my staff. When I retire in 2035, the job could be yours.

Really? HA! Now that's funny. The AD told me they are obsessed with fan speculation on message boards so they were going to fly me in commercial so that no fans could track my flight in from Ohio and know that I was being hired. They want to keep it a secret.

You must've flown in a private charter because they reserve those private charter flights for the whiny coaches that lie and can't hack it in the MWC.

And as I thought about it some more, another strong possibility is that an offer was made to one candidate but they made a counteroffer that USU doesn't want to accept and/or USU has reason to believe that he is just trying to get a raise from his current employer and isn't a serious candidate. I guess we will find out soon enough. I would be very happy with either Simon or Kowalczyk. I hope this isn't a sign that they both declined the offer.
I think the chances they both declined the offer are near zero.

Yeah I do not see a scenario where Todd Simon turns down the offer if made.

I heard they both want the job so bad they keep undercutting each other's offer. Todd's final offer was that he was willing to work for free. Then Tod offered to pay USU for the opportunity to coach here, thus he's the current leader.

didn't our last coach end up doing just that?

Insightful post Stanford, excellent for more than just slobbering blather. You post some intriguing thoughts for consideration.

Agreed Utah State could be in a back and forth about money for the new H C. I would think that H C coaching candidates have a very good beginning idea where the general financial parameters ares. Having said that, is it possible we are so close to finalizing a deal that some good old school bluffing will close the deal for the new coach?

It’s a mole hunt nothing more. My very high level source goes simply by “A” tells me Ryan Thompson is being positioned as the next HC.

There’s no such thing as an insider in this job search. No offense to the insiders but they have no idea what’s going on. The faster the rest of you figure this out the easier it will get. This is a new AD who knows what she’s doing, Sabau is leaking different info to figure out who’s a rat. Those “inside source confirmations” that some of you were so proud to talk about may get your source fired you fell right into Sabaus plan.
Is this the mafia or a University hire...

Didn't know the cache valley cartels were in that deep at the University, I guess they're everywhere now. Also aggie points for aggieborn spelling her name correctly when other's can't seem to.

edit:
I do love seeing the coach Tod on Todd crime is going down in this thread too.

I'm being told that Tunka is the pick and if you say "well he's dead" let me just add that on Tuesday at the announcement there will be a grave exhuming.

I was told by my sister that Tunka Tollison was at the Thomas & Mack center for both of our tournament games. He was sitting near Jerry Bovee, not next to him or anything, but only like 5 or 6 seats away. I'm not clear on if they were talking during the game but they might have been. This is just secondhand information. I don't know if that means anything because I haven't heard anything concrete from my sources but I will see if I can find out more.
