    Also, I'm pulling for y'all vs. Bison
    I thought I saw that Vigen dithered over salary for himself and staff. Asking north of $2 million.

    We all wish Jimmy would have stuck around longer but I think most of us knew that he wasn’t going to be Stig and this was going to be his only HC position.

    My only issue is that he completely decimated the program on his way out the door.
    Maybe we should wait and see what transpires before declareing the program "decimated." At this point all we know is that Jimmy is leaving and that Wilde is leaving (my intel is that Wilde is going to Neb., independent of Jimmy leaving).

    I don't wish this on anybody, I know it was close to being us though. Got to hate the current football environment. One thing though is that SDSU has a strong program and will rebuild from this.
    If what we are hearing is true, my opinion of Rogers just went way down .

    and if i was Stig i would be quite tempted to make a vigorous suggestion regarding where he could put his Christmas gifts. Stig gave him a huge gift stepping away with the program at the absolute peak. this seems a significant bcoachetrayal of that gift. WHY? for money? there is a whole lot more to life. if you cannot live a wildly comfortable life for 400k per year you really really need to rethink your priorities

    was it something else? were the expectations too much? for his first 2 years as an HC the expectation was a NC. he is now leaving for a job where there will never be an expectation to win another one. maybe that will be a lot easier. so much for all his talk about the standard
    I don't know enough about anyone's motives to judge them for leaving, although I agree re. $400k being more than enough. I must admit I put too much stock in Rogers' wife being from the area as a reason he might stay longer.

    Regardless of other coaches' and players' motives for leaving, this situation makes me appreciate players who stayed even after being offered considerable NIL sums and coaches like Stig and AJ.
