Vigen Oregon State rumors.

[justafan]

Barnum is looking and PSU has an opening.....I hope he gives us at least another year..

[MSU01]

The best news of all is MSU winning yesterday and getting home field advantage throughout the playoffs. If MSU can take advantage and make another run to Nashville then those FBS schools with openings once again likely aren't going to want to wait until mid-January to get a new coach in place. Especially with the removal of the Spring portal window.

you don't think if the money was right he could say no? Not sure I could fault him if he got the right offer.

This! I just think Vigen is too loyal to his guys and too determined to win a NC. I don't think he'll bale on this team. If the other schools will wait on him, maybe, but if they won't he'll stay. He's got two sons on the team too and though money is nice, he's building a stellar program at MSU and that must mean something. It's not always about the money, especially if you and your family are happy.

I don't think he'll leave just for money. He's not going to bail on the team to join Oregon State, even with a sharp raise. He might leave early for a good program that got their own coach poached but not for a rebuild.

I honestly can't see him bailing on MSU during a playoff run, no.

not even for 5 times the money he is making here? seems like would be hard to pass up regardless..he is a good man no doubt.

Is OSU going to pay him $3-4 million a year?

sounds like that is about the going rate...2 million base in 2024 with incentives..so probably up in that range..

OSU is a major rebuild job. No way no how the new coach is making any of the incentives in the first few years...

Looks like 2-3 finalists will interview this week and they want to announce within a couple days after their last game Sat.

I still don't think he'll leave before playoffs and the NC.

I’d absolutely hate to see Coach Vigen move on but completely understand if he did for an opportunity like that. With that said….Maybe Troy Taylor or Ed Lamb would be possible replacements…I’d most certainly be happy with either.

Ed Lamb - Yes. Troy Taylor - No.

Why not anyone currently on staff? Kind of how NDSU and SDSU have done.

I don’t know how coaching interviews work or take place, but why would Vigen fly commercial into Portland and then have to drive to Corvallis? Wouldn’t Oregon state fly him privately into Corvallis? If he’s flying commercial I could see it as he’s just over there recruiting but again, I have no clue.

For reference, this was info from some Oregon reporter on Twitter.

Athlon Sports was predicting Vigen will get the Colorado State job.

I'd guess the OSU people drove to Portland and conducted the interview there.

Thats what I thought. Even if you were flying commercial, you'd fly to Eugene which is an hour closer.

Maybe Vigen was interviewing for the Portland State job.
I'll show myself out now.
