Oregon State names Tinkle new head coach

[TrueGriz]

I thought he would wait until Tres graduated. He deserves a shot at the big time and big bucks. Too bad the Griz can't find the men's BB equivalent to Robin Selvig. Its the lying about it that sticks in my craw.

If you want a Robin Selvig equivalent, then you hire Robin Selvig. Then you hire Shannon Cate to be head coach of Lady Griz.

I do not see Travis being a Robin Selvig equivalent. He will be moving on after 4-6 years.

Until Montana starts paying their coaches competitively, all (successful) coaches here will move on after a short stay. We won't pay them until we step up in conference/competition.

yes, but for those who are looking for a Robin Selvig equivalent, that would be a coach who wants to stay here forever regardless of pay or at least what Montana can afford to pay. Robin could have went elsewhere a long time ago for a much higher payday but likes it here enough to be here for less than competitive pay.

You might be surprised to know that even coaches in conferences above us do not make that much more than Tinkle did. There is a coach in a top 8 conference, with a top 25 team for awhile last year, who's base salary was small. However, he does have a nice media compensation which is something Wayne could not get here. In fact that media package is about twice his base salary.

Yes, it does appear so...

"Tinkle takes over a program headed toward a rebuild. The Beavers have lost their five top scorers from a team that went 16-16 (8-10 Pac-12) and fell in the first round of the College Basketball Invitational.

OSU hasn't reached the NCAA tournament since 1990, the second longest March Madness drought of any big-conference mainstay. Tinkle's predecessor, Craig Robinson, was fired earlier this month after a six-year run included four CBI appearances and no NIT berths. He went 94-105 (39-69 Pac-12) over that span."

Those are the programs that you move up to. From the great arenas at Sac and UNC to Pauly Pavilion, Cal and Arizona. Step up in challenges all around. Good luck to Wayne...here's to taking the next step at Montana

As suggested earlier I'm thinking Tres is a good bet to pass up Coach K's Utah for dad's Beavers...which also leads to another question. Where's the kid going to spend his senior year?
Unless it's Alpha's couch I'm thinking it's Corvallis - the one with all the rain...

You're maybe thinking a new coach is brought in to take over a successful program... :?: :roll:
