Wow.

I can't say I'm surprised, but..... wow. How much would that buy-out be?

Worth every penny.


You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

The buyout got him to this year otherwise he would have been fired sooner.

This is a job that scares me in regards to Craig smith.

I heard 3 mil. But the source was a Ute fan friend that is usually a little off on this kind of subject. But it sounded reasonable.

Curious how he hoodwinked the U into almost $4 million a year.

A rebuild leading to a Sweet 16 appearance with Jakob Poeltl and Delon Wright. He was a hot commodity, but couldn't recruit players at that high of a level consistently or develop a consistent system.

He did resurrect the program before it fell off again. Utah was literally one of the worst programs in the country when he took over from Boylen. He built them up with 3 future NBA players and got them to the Sweet Sixteen and the giant contract. Then it all fell apart.

Yeah remember when Tommy Connors was supposed to come to USU in 2015? It was the year they went to the Sweet Sixteen and he stayed there getting a big raise. He probably thought Krysto was going to move on shortly with all the momentum he had and the job would be his. Now he'll likely be out of a job there too.

Was Conners the original choice over Duryea?
