Future of Nagy

[Nidaros]

Re: Future of Nagy

with the state of the economy in Illinois right now why would anyone want to go there. Illinois the state is broke, high taxes and a corrupt state government. people would leave if they could afford to. besides, I think that he has made a commitment to the team and the men he has recruited just like they have made a commitment to the team and him. and why all this speculation nothing has been said by any party so let it drop

Comparing Nagy to Tim Miles is hardly speculation, and were does "going to Illinois" come from. Not from me. I hope the new house is a sign, he is going to be with us a few more years..

Re: Future of Nagy

I wasn't trying to imply Nagy will be a candidate at any of the jobs in Illinois. But last year when his name was brought up for the NIU job (I think that was the one), he said something about the only places he would listen, or consider would be those located in Illinois.

Re: Future of Nagy

a. Its a little different when you are from there. I'm sure people can come up with reasons on why not to come to South Dakota, or any state for that matter

b. I don't think the economy, and corruption really bothers a coach making 800K at Southern Illinois, or a few million at Illinois.

He and his wife are both from Illinois, I'm sure they have quite a bit of family in Illinois, all of that adds up

my wife is from california, she has family in california, I lived in california, we have no desire to ever set foot in that state again, just sayin,

Re: Future of Nagy

I'll play along since this thread exists. Nagy isn't going anywhere for now. Winning the Summit League tournament with a highly talented team does not automatically make him the "next big thing". If he wins a game in the tournament, that's a different story.

I think Nagy's Division 1 career will not be defined by this year or next, but will be defined on how we come out of the "post-Nate" era. Will we fade back into Summit league oblivion? Or will we use this to springboard us into a Summit league contender year-in, year-out? Hopefully the latter!

Re: Future of Nagy

I'm just glad the discussion has to do with worry over whether or not he will stay rather than is he the right guy for the job like we had a short time ago. Things are obviously going the right way!

Also, when it comes to the one-year contracts. It is a factor but the SDSU AD can get around it buy not having a revolving door coaching staff. If that happened then nobody would be interested in SDSU. As it stands, we can certainly show longevity in the major sports and really almost all sports. Something to think about, the one-year contracts also make it easy for a coach to move up if things go well so it isn't all a negative for the coaches. No doubt the negatives outweigh the positve though.

I've always felt that the best thing that can happen for SDSU is for coaches to come and have success and then move on to "bigger and better" jobs. That way we will attract young and talented coaches. Keep the wins coming and dealing with success will seem quite easy.

Re: Future of Nagy

I would hate to see Nagy go, but trust this would be a job that would be very attractive to many good candidates including Austin Hanson.

Excellant post. I don't think SDSU will have problems filling any coaching job, including the wrestling HC.

Not good news for SDSU. Well lets see what happens. I imagine Nagy will be at the final four. A great deal of business usually goes on there.

It's not surprising that D-I schools with openings are running through the list of potential coaches they can poach from somewhere else. It's not particularly earth-shaking that coaches' names whose teams make the NCAA tournament this year are showing up in discussions on those campuses with coaching openings.

Wow, golly. There's talk in campus communities with openings about who to try to go after to fill those openings? Knock me over with a feather. Hell, we've discussed who to bring in at SDSU to coach men's basketball without regard to the piddling little detail that, at the time of the discussion anyway, we didn't have an opening. So color me unimpressed that "Nagy's name is making the rounds" pretty much anywhere. If somebody comes in and Nagy takes some offer he can't refuse, well, then, that's kinda the definition of "offer he can't refuse" now isn't it?

Wake me up when you've got names to put beside your unnamed sources, and sound the siren if those names are from the Nagy camp instead of from some campus somewhere.

Otherwise . . .

How 'bout them Rabbits, huh?

I know there is a lot of "business" that goes on at the Final Four (I should say, I assume....).

I know we don't have any "golden handcuffs" laying around the state of SD - but perhaps Justin Sell should accompany Coach Nagy and attach himself to Scott's leg so he can't talk to any AD's from these schools that "have needs"......just sayin'!!

I have friends that are season ticket holders and they mentioned it the very night Miles left. Granted, they are SD natives and well aware of Coach Nagy. I don't see Coach leaving at this point.

Re: Future of Nagy

I don't see him going to Colorado State. I could see him being interested at Southern Illinois. Bruce Weber turned down the job, today.

From everything I heard last year when Nagy's name came up at I think NIU, he will only consider big time jobs (power 6 conference), and mid-major jobs in Illinois. That is what I got from what he said. I still don't see him leaving unless its an offer he can't turn down this year. He has kids in high school, returns 9 of the 10 players that suited up for a team that went to the tournament. I just think when you see all of that, it takes a little more to get you to leave.

The path to the power conferences is that of Miles. Continue winning and moving up to bigger schools, and eventually the opportunity may come along. If Nagy really wants to coach at that level (and I don't know that he does), he isn't going to get there from here barring a miraculous tournament run.

For comparison, Tim Miles reportedly made 585K and was scheduled to get a raise to 750K. CSU loses 3 seniors, supposedly has some nice redshirts, and they won 20 games this year, so their cupboard isnt' exactly bare either. Fort Collins is nice town in beautiful surroundings with amenities not available in Brookings.

Imagine this scenario: Coach Nagy goes to Colorado State. Say he wins 18-22 games a year and makes 2 tournaments over the next 5 years. He would be a shoe in for any mid-major job opening in his home state, and would have a decent chance at the Illinois job if it were to open up. Plus he would have a couple million more dollars to his name.

In my mind, the bottom line is that IF someone like CSU offers a job, it will be very, very difficult to keep Coach Nagy. Just my opinion, but thinking otherwise is putting your head in the sand. Probably why Filbert and others don't seem to want to talk about it...

First of all, I think if SDSU would have gone to the sweet 16, Nagy's name would be mentioned at Illinois. Ohio's coach is expected to land the job, largely on the part of their sweet 16 run. switch the shoes, add in Nagy's ties to Illinois, and I'm guessing he would at least be talked about.

I'm not saying that its Nagy's goal to get to a power six conference, I just think if one called he'd listen. Same with an Illinois based school. That is the impression I got last year when his name came up at NIU. That he likes SDSU, would probably leave if it was big time, and would think about it if it would put him closer to where he and his wife are from.
