Considering there are no trailers by the dome anymore I do not understand how your comment is relevant. Does Nagy walk from the horse barns on the north side of town to games at Frost? I remember the first time I pulled into Brooklyn and all I could see were jacked up Dodge Rams with fake bulls sacks dangling under the rear bumper. Not to mention the sweet smell of manure that lofts over that whole town. I dont know if it is from the livestock or the bullsht that spews from a majority of State fans. Either way your jealousy of the hire is noted. I'm looking forward to future match-ups in the SL.

And the campus was filled with puppies, lollipops and rainbows.

If they are so-so successful in a tough Mid-Major (most likely 1 bid league), will he take a $250K job to be an assistant somewhere else, like Dane Fife did? IDK, its about as good as hire as you can get though.

Excerpt from the Argus Leader today:
H e won NAIA coach of the year honors for leading the Comets to the national championship game in 2007, going 72-29 in his three seasons there after taking over a program that went 1-25 the year before.

Re: USD Hires Craig Smith
A pay cut but being a head coach is worth something too. Have your own program, can turn around a struggling program, who knows. he gets USD to the top of the confrence in a few years and He might get bigger offers from big schools who saw he turned around USD he has to be worth it.
