      He'll use this to get a nice big raise.

        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. $ talks

          There's increasing rumblings that WSU is talking with the American conference about moving up to that conference.

          The MVC without WSU is basically the Summit with somewhat better arenas.

            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.

                Wow. More drama

                Looks like he's staying?

                  Craig just tweeted that he is staying. Wow, big for USD to keep him around.

                    So USD just doubled his salary. Can't say I blame them. Looking forward to it.

                        So Craig just pulled an AJ? (Without the added drama of an airline connection?)

                          I agree with Matt Zimmer. Smith was never going to Drake.
                          He used Drake as a bargaining chip. Good for him.

                            Hope it works out as well for Craig as it did for AJ!!

                              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.

                                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.
