Re: Coaching carousel 2017
Craig Smith has accepted the HC job at Drake, per Gary Sharp. (@GarySharp1620)
I am stunned. Doesn't seem like a better job than USD honestly and the MVC will likely lose Wichita State. $ talksComment

There's increasing rumblings that WSU is talking with the American conference about moving up to that conference.Originally posted by YanktonJack7 View Post
The MVC without WSU is basically the Summit with somewhat better arenas."I think we'll be OK"Comment

Re: Coaching carousel 2017
He no doubt at least doubled his salary.
Drake is a tough place to win at but to be honest some of that has been due to poor hiring decisions. Craig is a big upgrade over Ray Giac who was previously there.Comment

Now sharp is reporting he is stayingComment

Re: Coaching carousel 2017
Wow. More drama
Looks like he's staying?
"Players at Drake were informed of the hiring and USD players waited nearly 90 minutes in a team meeting for the news that Smith was staying." - @GarySharp1620Comment

Re: Coaching carousel 2017
Craig just tweeted that he is staying. Wow, big for USD to keep him around.Comment

Re: Coaching carousel 2017
So USD just doubled his salary. Can't say I blame them. Looking forward to it.Originally posted by FargoBison View PostWe are here to add what we can to life, not get what we can from life. -Sir William Osler

So Craig just pulled an AJ? (Without the added drama of an airline connection?)"I think we'll be OK"Comment

Re: Coaching carousel 2017
I agree with Matt Zimmer. Smith was never going to Drake.
He used Drake as a bargaining chip. Good for him.Comment

Re: Coaching carousel 2017
It will be interesting to hear how much he could have gotten at Drake if he did go (you all know someone will write a story about it.) I bet it's more than what usd will now be paying him. We're all sure he didn't want to leave but knew this was an opportunity to get a pay raise. Ultimately, he likes where he is at for now.Originally posted by jackmd View PostRollin' in my 5.0

Re: Coaching carousel 2017
When you have Mooney and everyone back I can see that as worth staying. He can bargain for a better raise. Couple more good years and he probably get much better job offers then Drake and the pay to go with it.Originally posted by THE PRIDE IS BACK!!!
