Van Diest says no thanks to MSU

[laxVik]

So I just read on AGS that Van Diest (Carroll College HC) said no thanks to the HC position at MSU. I wonder what that's about. An NAIA coach says no thanks to a D1 position? Ouch. I give him credit.

He used to be an assistant at WYOMING during the Roach and Tiller Eras (1987-96).

Now Lennon has said no, so much for this job being appealing.

I was one of the people who was all over the MVD band wagon. Not because I had done any research, I was just going by reputation as I suspect a lot of Cats fans were.

Then I was on the Lennon band wagon (like most everyone else).

But looking at all the information that has surfaced regarding Rob Ash (the Cats's hire for those not paying attention), I feel he's no doubt a qualified candidate. In fact, for all I know (or anybody knows) he could have been the front runner all along.

He brought his OC from Drake, where they ranked 5th in FCS offense last year. He hired Jim Svoboda, UCLA's former offensive coordinator when the upset USC this last fall. Ash has surrounded himself by an impressive cast, I must say.

The general feeling around BobcatNation.com is that the program is in good hands and that things will turn out fine.
