2025-26 Roster and Coaches Updates

While I'm not a fan of wholesale changes, perhaps in our case it was needed. The big thing I don't like (and I'm not saying that it's the case here), I've seen with Colorado football and Nevada softball in the last few years, a new coach comes in and tells everyone to hit the portal.

That said, is there anything special about the one who stayed, Kadeezy? Thank you.
 
What a train wreck of a coaching staff. Not one coach has college coaching experience. It is a collection of Bibby’s friends. Most of them worked on the same high school coaching staff were he got his only coaching experience. How can you name someone an associate head coach when they pretty much have no coaching experience. Guess it makes sense when the head coach has no experience. Of course one of them is his son. As for the roster our one returner is getting a fifth year because of the ruling that if you played at a junior college you get an extra year of eligibility for next year only. At best he is a rotational player on any other Big Sky team. Our first signee happens to be Shaq’s son who was not good enough to start for two lower level teams. Our second signee happens to be the son of another former NBA player who was a walk on at his last program and didn’t get in a game. There were a few players from last years team that an experienced coach would have wanted to keep but they were all asked to go in the portal. Not holding out much hope for Hornet’s basketball.
 
I don’t think Orr is calling the shots in football or basketball. He said a couple times previously that he would not hire Bibby. I think President Wood is making all the decisions and Orr is along for the ride and hoping to keep his job. Here is info on Bibby’s contract from the State Hornet:
According to documents obtained by The State Hornet, Sacramento State’s newly hired men’s basketball coach, Mike Bibby, is under contract until 2030 and will receive $300k per year. The 5-year deal includes multiple incentives and relocation assistance in the form of a $20k lump sum.

In the contract, Bibby will receive a supplemental talent fee of $150k, a vehicle stipend of $400/month and $15k if Sac State wins the Big Sky Conference championship.

Assuming the talent fee is a one time payment. Guessing it is to pay players? Five years is a long time to be on the hook for this experiment.
