Welp...Sprinkle frontrunner for Washington?

ChowderAggie · Post by **ChowderAggie** » March 2nd, 2024, 4:22 pm

Well, at least if Danny goes to Washington, he won’t bring any players with him, right? Right?

Oh.

SpectrumMagic · Post by **SpectrumMagic** » March 2nd, 2024, 4:22 pm

Well (I can't express myself without swearing)

Hopefully Danny wants to stay here

I absolutely hate the timing of this as we’re trying to wrap up the reg season championship and move into the tournaments. Last thing we need is this…….

Hopefully they take Kyle Smith from Wazzup instead. If you read the tweets it sounds like he was given the ultimatum that if he doesn't win the pac-12 championship tournament that he's gone. Which obviously isn't going to happen. Hopefully there is no tampering with the season going on and at least the season can play itself out. Just hope the team is ready for San Jose on Tuesday.

This has probably already been in the works, which might be a reason why our team has been flat. Just a hunch.

I would highly doubt Sprinkle has been in contact with teams while the season is going.

He was always destined for bigger and better, yet people tried to convince themselves he could be “the next Stew” lol. Please just get us that elusive tournament W Danny.

Yeah, I bet we would be undefeated and huge RUTS if our coach wasn't desirable.

I agree and even if he has, I don’t see sprinkle as the type of guy to mail it in early. I put in notice at my job and I still give 110% until my last day.

If it’s happening make it a done deal but finish off the season like you would if your job depended on it and get us a win or 3 in the tourney.

I don't think a huge amount of this thought he would be a stew but I also thought that he would be here a minimum of two to three years. He obviously still might do that. I certainly hope he gets the Aggies a win in the tournament.

Dear Washington,

Kyle Smith >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Danny Sprinkle.

TrueAG · Post by **TrueAG** » March 2nd, 2024, 4:45 pm

Unfortunately Washington is one of the only Schools that I was worried about Sprinkle would leave for.

Being a feeder school sucks. But it really, really sucks to be a feeder school and have zero tourney wins to show for it.

Well that definitely doesn't sound good. To be honest though if a coach is talking to other teams while the season is currently going on that is pretty low class. I certainly am not saying that Danny is or would do that just saying that is pretty low if it does happen.

I’m not saying sprinkle has mailed this season in. I’m just saying these rumors hurt the team whether Danny likes it or not. If he’s not squashing them immediately the locker room can sense what’s going on. The players aren’t stupid.

Terrible timing for sure

FloridaAggie13 · Post by **FloridaAggie13** » March 2nd, 2024, 4:58 pm

I would say he's 100% gone. Maybe this is why there hasn't been an offensive set called in about a month. It's a big risk for UW to float this right now but they obviously want to stake their claim.

If this is true, then suspend him for the rest of the season and let one of the assistant coaches lead the way.

Are Danny and Jeff Goodman friends? They came across like ole friends during the Fieldof68 interview.

FloridaAggie13 · Post by **FloridaAggie13** » March 2nd, 2024, 4:59 pm

We better not accept one cent less than the buyout calls for.

bpd · Post by **bpd** » March 2nd, 2024, 5:00 pm

Goodman had breakfast with Sprinkle when Goodman was in town. Guaranteed they talked about this. Scotty should ask about this on the coaches show on Monday.

By the way, this would be devastating for the program. Not only is he a good coach, but why would players come to USU if coaches leave every year or two?

Also, Danny had to know Washington was going to happen last year. Hopkins has been a dead man walking.

Aggiesbleedblue · Post by **Aggiesbleedblue** » March 2nd, 2024, 5:03 pm

It does suck that we seem to be the only successful MW program that can’t keep a coach.

I mean it would certainly suck if it happens. The program will be just fine though if he leaves The program is above any current player or coach. We have a good infrastructure in place and good fan support.

Can somebody who knows/communicates with Scotty ask him to bring it up?

This is the part you hate being an Aggie basketball fan. It’s a place you can win and people show up for and you have phenomenal home support and we can’t keep coaches and build something special. No one comes calling for Rice, Medvedev, Dutcher etc.

UW is a terrible basketball school. They stink in the PAC12 and how are they going to compete in Big10?

Bullnamed_gus · Post by **Bullnamed_gus** » March 2nd, 2024, 5:07 pm

One thing about Washington, going back to what Ashworth said. They have no shortage of NIL money. Washington offered him the most. I imagine sprinkle likes the idea of having all the NIL money to go buy a team

jprism · Post by **jprism** » March 2nd, 2024, 5:07 pm

I’m not well versed in university finances, could UW realistically afford 6.7 million on a basketball head coaching change? https://x.com/larshanson/status/1764075 ... d0OgGmSQeQ

With Washington’s Big 10 money Ive got to think Sprinkle will be offered over $4M/year.

Add in huge NIL money and chartered flights and yes 100% gone.

QuackAttackAggie · Post by **QuackAttackAggie** » March 2nd, 2024, 5:11 pm

Wazzu’s coach has basically no buyout and the athletic department is in the red so they can’t match anything.

Every so often you get a Duryea. Can’t always bat 1.000 in coaches. Plus it would be nice to build something here for once.

We do have good infrastructure and great fan support at some point don’t you get tired of being the side piece? Your told how great and special you are only to be left the next morning.

QuackAttackAggie · Post by **QuackAttackAggie** » March 2nd, 2024, 5:13 pm

I have high hopes that our AD will be aggressive in retaining sprinkle. I'd rather be losing coaches than firing them, but if we lose three coaches in four seasons, it's obvious that we aren't competing at all in proportion to our program strength.
