I noticed how TCU assistant has followed a lot of people associated with NMSU, like Mario Moccia, Mark Rudi, and the Aggie basketball official twitter account.
I think if he is interested, he has to be the top candidate to take over for Paul Weir.
He has coached at Pepperdine, Memphis, UNLV, UNM, Auburn, and TCU.
Ahhhhhh, the wonder of Twitter! Nice catch on that, Coach!
He did the same last year when South Dakota State had an opening. He wanted the job bad, to the point where brother Mike began pushing him on Twitter and his friends began harassing people at SDSU. They would create accounts on the SDSU fan board and post negative things about other candidates.
After Otz was hired, when SDSU were struggling early on, they came back even harassing Otz and AD Justin Sell on twitter.
Ryan may be a good hire, but for some reason, every time his name gets thrown in he doesn't even get an on-site interview. Maybe he and his cronies, plus his famous brother need to back off and let his resume speak for itself.
Keep in mind. He is a South Dakota kid, from Mitchell. He played against SDSU in our D2 days when he was at Northern State. His cousin Macy is the starting point guard at SDSU, a top 100 recruit and the team leader. He has a lot of connections in the state and at SDSU which should have gotten him more consideration. Yet, with SDSU and a couple years earlier USD he didn't even sniff the job(s). Something is up with him.
Great recruiter. Would be an excellent hire and probably the best of the ones I have seen mentioned as replacements.
New Mexico State is probably one of the most attractive mid-major program in the nation for a top assistants wanting to be a head coach. If only NMSU could find away to raise the $$$ for our coaches.
I hope once we finish paying off the loan in a few years, we can then use some of that money to pay our football and basketball coaches more.
Oregon assistant Tony Stubblefield also followed the NMSU AD on Twitter.
NMSU will have some good candidates. I don't think it matters who we offer the job to, NMSU will be a 20 win team next season.
