Jay Hill and at least one other MW coach finalists for Utah State head coach

Who are the other candidates?

Bronco?

Kenny?

Utah State is expected to name a new head coach in the next week.

Sources indicate they are down to four finalists. BYU DC Jay Hill is one of them. A current Mountain West head coach is another finalist and at least one more MW HC interviewed for the job.

He’s too smart to do that

Utah state feels like career suicide.

That's true but it's in a really really bad spot right now.

It was in a bad spot when Gary Anderson took over the first time

I think nil and BYU and Utah being in the big 12 is really going to hinder usu

That was pre-NIL. Jay will lose good players to BYU, Utah, other P5s every year

I hope Jay Hill is the only name leaked because he is leveraging for a raise.

Doesn't seem like Jay Hill would take that one. Curious on the money.

Without a media deal, they don't really know what they can pay

I can predict that it's not great! There's not much TV space/$ left.

I hope he doesn't take that job. In fact, I hope he doesn't even interview,

If he's a finalist, he has already interviewed.

I wonder if that affected the defense yesterday then

They should take ARod

Just give him a big raise and move forward. USU is a dead-end G5 job.

Some SB Nation guy has the scoop on Jay Hill? …. I doubt that.

BYU will pay him more than Utah State will.

8:36pm

If Jay has actually interviewed for the job, that seems pretty risky with his recent heart challenges. I'm not one to

Is this from a reliable source?

I doubt Hill goes there. Probably just a show for some leverage.

Not a big enough step up from Weber St. Wait for something better.

At Weber at least he had a fighting chance to establish a winning program.

8:44pm

If Jay is distracted with interviewing maybe it is distracting from game prep

Aside from team step down, that admin is a dumpster fire. He should ask the last coach.

They are going to have the worst resources in the new pac 12. That is not a good
