That's a pretty good job for him.
Solid program in a decent basketball conference.... get's to stay on the west coast... good fit for him.

Re: Colorado State hires Ernie Kent?
Agree - this is a really nice fit for Ernie. Colorado State has a good hoops program, is located in a nice college town, and is pretty solid academically (it's by far the best school in the Mountain West). There are some good programs in the MWC (UNLV, New Mexico, San Diego St.), but I think Ernie will do a very good job, especially if he can bring in some elite talent. Will be interesting to see if he tries to get Matthew Humphrey. I read recently that he's leaving Boston College and will have one year of eligibility as a graduate transfer.

Re: Colorado State hires Ernie Kent?
Colorado State is a dump for basketball until recently (as in, one and a half seasons), but it is a good jumping off point for coaches if they can be even moderately successful.

Lmao. You think any parent of a top recruit is going to let their kid play for this guyUSUaggieDuck wrote:Or they just took eustachy because he is a better coach (although he has some questionable personal history...)buckmarkduck wrote:Sounds like someone high up didn't like him.
He'll be lucky to get Nebraska castoffs.
Terrible hire for Colorado State and a major screw up PR wise. I'm going to assume that they'll also be hiring Mike Price to be their football coach.

That was 10 years ago and he hasn't had a sip of alcohol since. he had good recruits at southern miss, a school that doesn't care about basketball, and had a great season.
lets do a blind comparison
Coach A- wins-377, losses-249
Coach B- wins-325, losses-254
Coach A-wins in last 3 years 67
Coach B- wins in last 3 years 16
Coach A- ncaa appearances 4
Coach B- ncaa appearances 6
Coach A- Conference coach of the year 4
Coach B- conference coach of the year 1
Coach A- national coach of the year 1
Coach B- national coach of the year 0
Coach A- Conference regular season championships 6
Coach B- conference regular season championships 2
Coach A- conference tournament championships 2

Re: Colorado State hires Ernie Kent?
their conference histories are very very similar. WCC/pac10 for kent and Big West/big sky/Big12 for larry. of course, the big west was way better than the WCC back then though with UNLV
