Portland State hires Chris Fisk as head coach

He seemed like a good candidate to replace Bobby in the future. Proven resume and knows the NW eco system for recruiting. Now if he can move Portland State to a .500 record he will be on his way to bigger things.

Fitting too cause I remember earlier this season we posed the question of how many Big Sky teams could CWU beat? Unanimously we all said Portland State lol.

I said the lower 3rd of the conference, and I fully stand by that.

And despite what pickle says, CWU is unquestionably one of the top DII programs in the country. As always, though, consider the source.

His NW connections -- particularly with transfers -- may be huge at psu. Central always has guys who didn't make it for whatever reason at Washington or Wazzu. Those guys might now consider psu with him there.

He has a tall challenge with an inner-city school with no real sports facilities, poor recruiting history and a dwindling fan, donor and alumni base. Wish him well. PSU and NOCO need to step up if they are to remain in this conference.

Facts! I really don’t see any way he turns that program around. NIL dollars are a necessity, which compounds his problems. You are very correct about dwindling support and donors. Is he a good coach? Yeah, I think he is. Unfortunately PSU needs to drop down to D2 if they have any chance of competing. Actually, you could say the same thing for ISU, NoCo, NAU, EWU and Weber. Those programs are .500 caliber or worse right now and I don’t see that changing. Yeah, they may have a good season occasionally, but that would be considered an anomaly. You have a bunch of mediocre teams getting wins against each other and then getting walloped by good teams. Yes, EWU was a wake-up call for the Griz this year. I think that had more to do with not having a bye week to give the team some badly needed rest.

Definitely! If he can get Kennedy McGill to go with him to PSU, then that’s a great foundation to build around!

The guy can recruit no doubt about it! Hence why I said this is a home run hire for the Viks!

With their financial issues EWU is probably on this list as well, granted the better solution would be for us and the Cats to move up. There is alot more parity between the remaining Big Sky schools and they'd fit in well together as a Conference. It's us, Davis and the Cats that are the outliers overall in terms of facilities, fan base, booster and alumni support etc.
