I wonder what his total buyout cost was. Smith’s buyout to be released from his Utah State contract was $1.1M. You have to imagine that Utah State learned from that and that the figure has to be higher than that.

Evidently Michigan thought that Dusty May was also a great coach because they just hired him last night from FAU.

Once again, Utah is getting little return on its MBB investment.

Capko is the same as White. A guy that’s never been a head coach at the collegiate level. Is Utah such a dumpster fire of a MBB program that we have to take chances on unproven coaches? I heard vía the grapevine that Randy Bennett reached out to the program after Krystkowiak was fired and didn’t even receive a call back. Bennett has been a…[Read more]

You know this for a fact or read it somewhere?

Stevens is at the top of my list but I can’t see a realistic scenario where he leaves Boston and comes to Utah.

Smith makes $1.85M a year. He’s not getting canned until the end of next season at rhe earliest, At that point, Utah would be on the hook to him for $3.7M.

My #1 choice would be Mark Few, but he’s never leaving Spokane no matter the inducement.

Dusty May – FAU Head Coach – currently making $1.25M.

Yeah, but Sprinkle put that team together by himself. They said in the broadcast that when he signed on at Utah, the entire roster was gone. It just goes to show that if you have a guy that knows what he’s doing, it doesn’t take hslf a decade to make the tournament.

The last few seasons that Krystkowiak was here, he was getting paid over $3.5M a season and was in the Top 8 of highest paid coaches in the nation. That kind of money can buy you a proven winner and by proven winner I’m talking about a guy that has a long track record and has taken his teams on Deep NCAA runs. Smith has neither of those…[Read more]

No offense but you want a guy who’s never been a head coach at the collegiate level or has any sort of local ties? I’d rather hire a proven winner and there many out there that are getting paid much less than what Utah can afford.

😂😂😂

I’d read that Pittman was doing well but that Singer was very much WR 1.

Sanford was robbed. Really bad call by the refs on a non-existent foul at the end of the game when they were down by just one point.

Here’s a good article by Jon Wilner specifically focusing on Smith: Smith in Trouble

As many here have said, the Utes have to make the Dance next year or Smith is likely gone.

Can you post the link to that article by Furlong? Thanks.

That’s true but, if we play VCU, Utah should be favored. One, we’d be playing them at home where, except for a couple of hiccups, we’re undefeated against all comers. Two, doubtful that anyone on VCU’s roster has ever played at altitude.

That’s interesting. The email that I received looked like a “cut and paste” job from the first game, to include the same prices for tickets.
