Welp...Sprinkle frontrunner for Washington?

QuackAttackAggie · Post by **QuackAttackAggie** » March 3rd, 2024, 12:17 pm

Sprinkle also had a hard time leaving Montana state. He said he was alone in his home on his knees crying agonizing over the decision. I wouldn't blame him for taking a big payday, but I also wouldn't blame him for not going through another build from scratch.

Why anyone is surprised by this is a surprise to me. Sprinkle made it pretty clear early on that he wasn't a fan of Logan or it's nightlife, he dropped hint after hint, and that was BEFORE the season even started!!! The tell tell sign that I eluded to in a separate post should have been the nail in the coffin of anyone who would doubt DS was a one-and-doner, him starting to go after 5 star recruits. Sorry, the only way in this day and age to get a 5 star recruit to Logan, Utah would be to fly them to SLC, drive them up to Park City, give the dude and his family and his Boo a suite at the St. Regis and then helicopter them to Campus for a visit. ONLY THEN would we have been able to get a 5 star to visit us. It's sad but true. When we saw DS starting reaching out, we should have all known at that moment (and others were smart enough to sus it out then) that he was a goner.

USU was good for both of us. He got to come here and make an immediate impact that propelled him to the next level, we got a winning team and now we'll be $3 million richer to go after a good coach. Win Win for all involved. No tears for DS, just raise a glass to your would have been drinking buddy had Logan had a nightlife and he stuck around long enough. Sall good!

I for one am not going to worry about anything until there is actually something substantial to worry about, and am going to continue to enjoy what may wind up being the greatest basketball season (in my time) in Aggie history.

I’ll take Sprinkles word until proven wrong. Smith and Odom were liars. Sprinkle shouldn’t be held to their standard.

Has Sprinkle said anything about it?

Funny enough, Sprinkle re-tweeted a Jeff Goodman tweet about the MWC standings yesterday morning, so we know he follows Goodman on twitter. Obviously, Sprinkle didn't re-tweet the frontrunner tweet, but I'm sure he's seen it.

Sprinkle did tweet out a "rent is due today aggie nation" this morning.

I'm slightly surprised in the sense that he's only been here one year. Used to be you could keep a good coach 3-5 years before they were poached by a bigger program. If the transfer rules go away completely, losing a good coach after one year could become the norm for mid-majors. You don't have to do a full rebuild at the new school if you can bring all your good players with eligibility remaining as a package deal.

But the players had yesterday off and practice resumed today.

When I say mass exodus of players, I hope everyone here understands what I'm talking about. If you're not leaving Logan basically it's because he recruited over you. Example, the only way Mason stays is because Mason's parents convince him not to leave with $$$ and the fact that they're Aggies. Nobody else's parents are going to convince anyone else to stay in Logan.

Actually, he almost certainly is not well compensated unless BYU has changed their policies significantly in recent years. BYU has always pulled the "It's not a job, it's a calling" card to justify paying their head coaches below market rate. I've read that Pope makes under a million. Even if he is happy at BYU, if I were Pope, I would at least send a resume to UW (assuming the job is open) to see if I can force BYU to increase my salary a bit.

He is well compensated by Mr Ryan Smith. That’s who is calling the shots there.

Barely going to scrape by into the tournament with a 4 or 5 seed in their first season in the hardest conference in basketball. They should fire him now.

Don’t go drinking the kool aid Quack. He has had a decent year this year but his previous years have been nothing spectacular. I would dare say in the years previous his teams grossly underachieved. What Sprinkle has done this year is miles ahead of what Pope has done at BYU. Washington isn’t stupid and can see that.

Sprinkle made a comment, “joking”, that Logan had no bars. He said, if you want to get a drink, you’ll have to come to my house. It was playful and funny. DS doesn’t care about night life. He grew up in Montana.

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I wanted to say that the link to USU's X (Twitter) page inadvertently answered a question that I have had regarding the new Utah flag. I noticed they are using the new flag now. How long have they been doing that? Anyone know?

Regardless of whether you like the flag or not, please don't let this thread devolve into a conversation regarding whether or not you like it. Since one of my designs was credited in inspiring the final design, I am particularly interested in whether or not it is being used now vs. on March 9th, when it becomes official. That conversation is probably sandbox material?

Coach Sprinkle has done a phenomenal job coaching this year. He certainly deserves everything coming his way. Personally, I really like him and hope he stays. Let's just hope he can keep his team focused so that they can keep paying the rent. Living in South Korea, this has been a fun season for me, staying up late at times or watching my Aggies play before heading off to work. They are a fun team to watch and certainly worth the effort I have to go through to simply watch them. I appreciate reading everyone's take on this season and enjoy the goings on in the chat room.

Go Aggies!

I don't say much here, but this is my 100th post since I joined. It has been fun having a small part on the best college fan message board in America.

guxiyou · Post by **guxiyou** » March 4th, 2024, 7:30 am

I've heard a rumor that the issue is that Sprinkle was looking for more of a commitment from us (not sure if that was more money, flights, ....), and that our new Athletics director has refused. The assertion was also that there was a beef with her not having hired him, and that there are numerous open athletic positions because nobody wants to work with her (I don't know her, haven't met her, and don't know anyone that directly does).

Let me be clear, the individual I'm hearing this from isn't in the athletics department, so there is certainly only a game of telephone happening here. With that said, I post this because whether or not it is true, a show of support from fans, donors, and alumni for Sprinkle to the athletics director helps this situation whether or not it is true. If you want Sprinkle here, reach out:

This seems odd to me. During one of the coaches show interview Sprinkle had some praise for the AD as she went on the trip to the Wyoming and CSU games with the team. It didn’t seem to give off the vibe that they didn’t get along or had some beef when he was talking about it in the interview.

We are becoming due for a flop hire. It's getting to the point that a kid would have to be nuts to come to USU, unless he was ok with leaving in a year or two max.

It's the NIL/free transfer era. All kids are okay with leaving in a year or two max.

This doesn’t align with other messages that I’ve seen on here from more reliable sources stating that we were prepared to offer him more than we have ever offered any coach before and throw everything we have to retain him because it will look bad on our school if we lose him. It would look bad because of conference realignment coming up.
