[Third Coast]

Really?

didn't we try to hire him back in the early 90s?

 

[Third Coast]

He was interviewed before Penders was hired in the late 80s, but I don't think he was ever offered.

 

[l00p]

RC didn't offer either.

reminds me of Houston Nutt--quick fix, but not good in the long term--agree??

He's a good coach. Very experienced but I'm a little surprised they didn't go after a younger, proven mid-major guy. Maybe they thought they tried that with Capel and it didn't work out.

Out of left field. I hope Joe C. did the right thing.

It was after we beat USC, in Arizona. Went to ASU vs. USC Men's game, wearing my USC National Champions shirt. Krugers kid was playing for ASU wearing socks that had the NBA logo on them and the New Lebrons. I thought at the time it was a NCAA violation.

Then he got an extra 20 years of elegibilty and went and played for his father at what UNLV or Nevada?

Oh well nothing to really add except my USC National Champion t-shirt at a basketball game. OUT

Folks at UNLV are not too happy about this. They lilked Kruger.
