I’d be surprised if they didn’t go back to the well and hire Grant Duff back from Idaho state. He was with Jay Hill at Weber and would make sense

I don't see that happening at all. I feel that Duff is a good coach, but he didn't leave on the best of terms.

My guess is that they will do a better search this time around and that we will have a completely new staff by mid December. There are a lot of names being floated, but it's mostly just a rehash of known guys with some sort of tie to WSU. It might go that way, but this is a chance to shake all the bushes and see what comes out. I hope they don't sell the program short again.

I didn’t realize they parted ways on bad terms. A go o Weber is better for the big sky so hopefully they find a guy to get you guys back on track 👍

He was just extended through 2028.

Technically inaccurate that he was “just extended”. Per an article in the Spokesman Review a few years back:


Best received the vote of confidence from EWU athletics director Tim Collins last week. Best is also under contract through the 2027 season.
According to a copy of the contract obtained by The Spokesman-Review through a public record’s request, Best signed his most recent contract in June 2021, canceling and superseding a previous contract he signed in February 2019 that ran for five years, through February 2024. The terms of this new deal continued until February 2026, making it a five-season contract that ran through the 2025 football season.

But the contract also contains an automatic rollover extension clause that is activated each February. That occurred in February 2022 and again in February 2023, Collins said. Collins replaced retiring athletics director Lynn Hickey in summer 2023.

Collins said he gave written notice, per the parameters of the contract, to end the rollover clause following Eastern’s 2023 season, giving the current contract a termination date of Feb. 28, 2028.
 
Bobby leaving, not likely. He’s taking these visits to use as leverage with Kent to get a bigger piece of the pie.
