Rumor Mill

My belief is that it is down to 2 prospects, Beau Baldwin (former Eastern Washington & Cal Poly head coach) and Darrin Chiaverini (current D2 coach at Northeastern Oklahoma). I think the choice could be announced as soon as early this week. Also believe that Crompton will be the one making the final choice and he is now trying to decide who he prefers.
 
Baller, I certainly hope you are wrong in Crompton choosing the successor. It should be the new or interim WSU president who decides Compton's successor and Crompton having absolutely NO say in who the new head coach is. He screwed us three years ago by picking Mental over the committee's top choice, Brent Meyers.
 
If it’s Baldwin I hope Crompton is fired IMMEDIATELY and has 💩 thrown all over him and his home!!!! Tim already is the worst AD in all of college sports and if he’s allowed to pick another crumb for the HC spot he deserves all the venom and hate coming to him!! I know Weber is FCS and the school isn’t big but for Christ’s sake are you telling me we can’t find a more competent AD and equally competent HC candidates?? I’m a normal person with ZERO AD experience but I could sell Weber St. and its programs better than Timmy!!! Beau Baldwin should NEVER be considered for this position as his Cal Poly tenure will surely explain, and honestly I agree let’s give the job to someone like Kjar who could get local talent chomping at the bit to show out!!! Screw these has been coaches and give some fresh blood a chance!!!
 
Hey. I’ve never left but am going to try and become more active in the program. I’m torn with Baldwin as he was pretty successful at Eastern Washington, won a FCS championship and recruited/produced a lot of NFL talent. That resume beats even Coach Mac. However, his tenure in Cal Poly leaves more to desire. However he was only there 2 years. If we get the E. Wash version then it’s a steal. But I can also see the argument for fresher and hungrier blood.
I don’t know if a high school coach is the answer. There’s a big difference in running a college program than a high school one. I think it would look a bit amateurish to allow a high school coach to make a jump to Division I football. They should get their feet wet as an assistant or head coach at JC/D2 level. Just a humble opinion. I’m often wrong. 🤣
 
Well, despite your reservations it is Crompton who will make the final decision. And so it should be, because one cannot give a person a job with responsibilities and not give him authority over those responsibilities. I agree regarding Baldwin. He is not the right fit, but hiring a high school coach is not the answer either. Nevertheless, those are the two finalist and I am hoping that Crompton makes the right choice, Chiaverini! I think Kjar would be great as an assistant and he could recruit Utah. Don't sell Chiaverini short as a recruiter no matter the state. He will definitely recruit California better than any coach we have had for a long time.
 
I give Crompton credit for getting rid of Mental. Maybe he’s getting in gear because his job is on the line. I don’t know if he was unable due to Mortenson. Seemed pretty odd that as soon as Mortenson left that Mental was fired. I do know that athletics was doing really well academically so administration may have thought that was more important than the product on the field. I think both finalists will be an upgrade from Mental. I think he’s a nice guy but even he knew he was in over his head. I bet he’s actually relieved to be done.
