Sounds like Utah State will announce Danny as head coach on Thursday. Damn.

Word on the Aggie board is that Sprinkle isn’t the first choice. Sounds like there’s a lot of interviewing going on…

I hope that Utah State hires Nate Dixon or Stan Johnson or Tunka Tollison or one of the other names that they have floating around over there. Heck, I hope they hire Norman Dale. Just leave Danny alone!

The USU board is wild, I love the thread "We Got Our Guy" that now has over 300 posts and people who are increasingly outraged that it has taken a week to hire someone.

Essentially yes, although I don't think BN could manage over 400 posts in a single thread in less than 48 hours! They've also stayed mostly on topic which tends to be rare here.

I laughed out loud at Ian Laird's twitter post when I saw it last night that showed a meme of someone refreshing their browser every 5 seconds to see if there's any new news on the Utah St. opening.

"Coach Sixx" is what griz fans call Vigen because he was supposedly our 6th choice.

Which is funny because Gris fans were jumping for joy when Bobby came back after failing as an FBS coach and have one QF appearance in 4 (won't count 2020 for Covid) years to show for it and don't have a QB as of yet for 2023.


Seattle to Billings to Missoula to Bozeman to Portland to Billings

What a ride

I was just being a smart ass. I hope my dude is wrong and Danny stays for a few more seasons.

Having no intelligence on this matter, I tried the new AI search on Bing and found an article from the Deseret News. There are some significant coaches with far more experience at USU's level of competition that are under consideration. If they choose Danny, that will be a very strong endorsement of him.


While registering my vehicles the assessor stated "I have had both Cat and Griz students and alums work for me and the Griz end up working under the direction of the Cats."

I think we can wrap up the Coach Sprinkle to USU with the Jackson Grant commitment. Back to back to back incoming!!

Let's hope so, or at least that Grant is committing to MSU and not to Coach Sprinkle wherever he ends up.

I don’t think that follows. Coach Sprinkle will continue to do his job to the best of his ability as long as he has it. I would expect noting less but it does not mean he would not consider other opportunities.

I hope he stays but the Grant commitment will not change the dynamic IMO.
