How much of the contract does Darius Brown get? He doesn't get that job without a handful of clutch shots from DB.
I've been saying this for a while. He doesn't get that job without Downtown Daruis Brown.
You are correct, and that's all the more reason why Sprinkle should take the generational money when it's offered to him. This was an incredibly special season and much of the credit goes to Danny for the team he put together and how he got them all to buy in so quickly, but we also had a lot of bounces go our way throughout the season. That's not to discredit anything that we achieved, but that's the reality. It's entirely possible that he could have put together an even more talented roster next year and not enjoyed the same success he did this year simply due to those bounces going the other way. Just ask Jeff Linder at Wyoming, having a successful season and running it back the next year with even more raw talent is not a guarantee for future success.

The reality of coaching is that your stock can rise and fall very quickly. Leaving when it is at its peak is painful but unless you are in your dream job I get why coaches do it.

This happened so fast it really has me questioning his coaching performance in that Purdue game. Made some serious WTF moves. Sure, let's run the offense through Burris and Templin, I'm headed to Washington, who gives a sh*t!
Fast? The agreement was already in place prior to ever even leaving for the tourney. I think the team knew it too, maybe not openly told so by DS himself but they knew enough to know this was it for him in Logan.
A 39 point loss makes a little more sense now. He hasn't looked all-in for a couple weeks now. Didn't look overly thrilled when USU won the MW season. I guess it's bittersweet leaving behind a good thing when you've surpassed all expectations.
Yeah his lack of excitement after beating New Mexico was noticed by a lot of us and certainly was interesting to say the least
Feeling guilty?

I was thinking the same exact thing

I’m seeing people say that Scotty g said off air that he was in discussions as early as December. Not sure the truth here but if he wanted out as early as July and Washington had a underperforming ooc and probably had an idea then they wanted to move to a new coach

I remember being really upset about Gary leaving. Now that it has happened so many times, I am far less upset. As the season continued on, and the team performed so well, it was obvious that Sprinkle wouldn't be around very long.

I saw that posted as well, that is just crazy if true. He obviously was not fond of his job USU.

I think most of us understand why he’s leaving. Most of us had no problem, just dont say you want to be the next stew Morrill while you have an offer from
Washington that you know you’re taking. Don’t negotiate in the middle of the season. Pretty simple.

That and can you at least give us 2 years before bolting? Couldn't he theoretically gotten the job straight out of Montana State? Why step on our heads to get it?

Yeah nobody cares. We'll win with or without you. Only thing I take issue with is the blatant and overt tampering. All of the coaches who do this say it's a business decision. I agree. So when damages are done to one business competitor over a breach of contract, that should be enforced. Working for Washington while you are employed by USU is a breach of contract and university policy. And it's unethical as hell. I wish we had someone in the AD who would stand up for the university.

If he wants out then he should leave. I don’t want a coach that doesn’t want be here. I can understand if he leaves for money even though it would be difficult, but I don’t want him here if he doesn’t want be here.
Having four different coaches in seven years implies that no one wants to be here.

It will actually be four coaches in five years, starting with Smith’s last season in 2020-2021.

IF I decide to spend time on basketball next season I’ll be at the first coaches luncheon and ask how they feel about coaches saying things to fans and then turning around and stabbing them in the back.

Imagine what MSU could have done if Danny had stayed with Osobor and Brown.

Bingo, he is doing what he feels his best for his career which we all can respect and don't hold any ill feelings toward that. Danny don't play with our hearts saying that he basically idolizes Stew and wants to be that type of coach here and build a similar legacy.

this is where I'm at- Hell, US just won the MW regular season (that's unprecedented) and a first round NCAA (my son remarked that the last NCAA win was 2 weeks before he was born).

with about 5 minutes left in the 1st Half yesterday, I was sitting in the arena thinking "that's it- this is Sprinkle's last game, most starters will be gone - We're starting over again".

I spent the rest of the game reminiscing about this season - I was at the first D1 game and the last -both on the road, both losses. But everything else in between was the best since I've been following bball closely. It sucks to lose a coach in less than a year, but it's also been a great season.

I like my current job, but my seat would spin if I was offered $22M. Go get paid, Sprinkle!

Meanwhile, let's collect that buyout check and find a really good coach for next year. Perfect hire. Perfect year. No regrets.

But to say it’s not a unique place is silly.

It's true. But also, if Danny is all about basketball, why wouldn't he love Mormondom? There's practically a 14th Article of Faith requiring basketball courts in church buildings. And Sprinkle isn't a finesse 3-pt guy; he's a physical, hard-nosed, defensive play sort of guy. Church ball would be his jam.

I wish we could have (somehow) been given longer than 10 miutes to enjoy our first tournament win before Sprinkle sh*t his pants against Purdue and then kicked us in the nuts on the way out.
