Not official until a signed contract. I'm not sure how interested CSU is, though I did see a report there was interest. That would certainly seem like a better job. Were in a bowl 2 years ago (the fifth year in a row). As to him almost getting the Oregon St. job, he was in the running but not sure how close it really was. I remember Football Scoop reported he would be named HC, but OSU came out almost immediately and said he had not been offered the job and they hired J. Smith a few days later.That might be the correct analysis but it's hard to say. He almost got the Oregon State job. Someone said CSU is sniffing around, UNLV would be a spot. There might be options out there but as you stated, there may also not.
Moot either I guess, he's taking the Poly job.
