Peter Thamel (ESPN): Utah State Finalizing Agreement with YSU’s Jerrod Calhoun

[InTheYo]

@PeterThamel: Sources: Utah State is finalizing a deal to hire Jerrod Calhoun as the school’s next head coach. He’s the head coach at Youngstown State, which he’s led to back-to-back 20-win seasons for the first time in school history.

@Samurai_hoops: Early indications to The Dojo are that Youngstown St is strongly considering promoting from within…#StayTuned

My guess would be Ethan Faulkner.

Clearly he was ready to move on!  Not sure YSU has the money to ever compete with what has become a money grab in mens basketball. Once Wrigbt States coach left and clearly Calhoun was ready to move on its obvious we are in a different time. I think Calhoun did well by Utah State no doubt.

I figured he would be the guy being he has the title Associate Head Coach and seems poised to take the next step. Curious if going internal will help keep the remaining roster intact.

I wonder if Calhoun plans to take any assistant coaches (who came with him from Fairmont State) to Utah State.

Congratulations to Coach Calhoun.   Let's hope Faulkner gets the job.  Philosophy and recruiting will not change I wouldn't believe.   Hopefully we hear soon.  Don't have the money to pay an outsider to the program with all of the Beeghly renovations and NIL.   We shall see.    Good move that we all need to support.   Go Guins!!!
