Nagy contacted for Northern Illinois opening

Re: Nagy a finalst for Northern Illinois

When you get to the website, what tab do you hit to find these salaries?

payroll information and then salaries. No wonder why South Dakota gets ranked so bad when it comes to open records. The website is in by no means easy, better get first and last name accurate to get any information.

Good for Nagy. I selfishly hope he stays, but it's good to see his name mentioned for other jobs. That means the program is successful, even if a certain Argus reporter doesn't believe so.

Was there anything in the live chat today about it? I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

just that Nagy was contacted, will listen but isn't out trying to get the job by any means. The way it sounds is that if offered he'd really think hard about taking it. More to come in the argus tomorrow; and here it is.

Good article, says he'll listen but thats all no plans to leave. (though $300K+ compared to $105K may change things IMHO)

also states that hes been on a 2,400 mile recruiting trip. (I know they went to the JuCo nationals and then to Kansas to watch Ron Baker. Where else I don't know)

Re: Nagy a finalst for Northern Illinois

From reading both the report and what the argus had on the issue the way it looks to me is that Northern Illinois hired an outside firm to look into qualified people who they believed would fit.

They contacted Nagy or his agent if he has one. And Nagy said he wasn't not interest (yes I know thats a double negative).

Then they took the list to the school and he was one of the names out of the firm that made the list to target.

I hope he doesn't leave, but either way I hope it doesn't take long to figure out. Nagy was out recruiting this past week and my guess is he will continue to be recruiting and its hard to recruit when your name is popping up for other jobs.

Hard to recruit with his name popping up?! I really doubt anyone outside of SD even cares. Id be completely surprised if a recruit knew unless the coaching staff told them, which wouldn't happen.

I don't think this lone report will hamper recruiting, but you are fooling yourself if you think D1 recruits (or maybe more importantly, other D1 coaches) wouldn't take note and even use this against the Jacks in recruiting if it would continue to happen.

I'd say just the opposite, and would be willing to bet that the first question asked is, "Coach, are you going to be in Brookings next year?"

I agree with you that if this continues then it could be an issue, but not yet.

Agree to disagree. Local recruit or someone who's signed, both Zachs(sp?), then yes. First question from some JUCO or ,for instance, that kid from Kansas? No.

Re: Nagy contacted for Northern Illinois opening

If Coach Nagy feels its the best move for him based on the opportunity, the A.D., and the compensation package he should take the job. SDSU will find someone to replace him. I sure don't want to see him go but understand that it could happen just like our A.D. understands it could happen. I am certain they have a plan/strategy to find/name a replacement when the day comes. I've always been a Nagy supporter but I'm a much bigger Jackrabbit supporter and SDSU men's basketball is more than just Scott Nagy.

Change isn't needed or necessary at this time but it also isn't likely to be disastrous either. In fact, I think there are some great candidates in our midst if the SDSU head job opens up.

Are you thinking in-house or in area?

Matt Margenthaler would be my first call IMO.

The new candidate according to the article is indeed solid. Good for us, we keep Nagy and more onward and upward. I think we have a very good coach who others are willing to consider. He must be doing something right.
