Message: [QUOTE="jdubs30, post: 5368959, member: 1620"] Craig Smith was the HC at South Dakota, then was at Utah State where he had 74 wins in 3 years. He got hired at Utah where he won 11 games his first year, 17 his second, and 22 in his 3rd year. They fired him this year when they were 15-12. And the only real reason seems to be they didn’t think he’d be successful in this NIL landscape with him at HC. This guy was a successful HC twice before, went from 11 to 17 to 22 wins in his first 3 years at Utah, then gets let go halfway through season 4. If you compare both situations, especially considering there is no scandals at play here, the Craig Smith firing to me is still more surprising than If Red got fired next week. [/QUOTE]
