mugtang Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Other sources are confirming. Looks like it's not a joke.

Yellow Evan Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 this is the opposite of when Kruger left UNLV on April Fools day 6 years ago. Who should UNM hire next?

Who should UNM hire next? The most realistic names I've heard thrown around are Paul Weir, Ryan Miller, and King Rice. There's some other more hopeful ones like Crean but that's not happening. Neal being gone does not fix UNM's financial issues and if the buyout wasn't settled they could be even worse. EDIT: There's Thunder Dan too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK_05 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 ryan miller would be a fun hire if he could get mike to come along but i think unm should go with a safer option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sean327 Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 All we need is for Krebs to get the axe. That asshat needs to be gone yesterday. How he has survived this long is beyond me. He should have been shitcanned after the Locksley debacle. But no........ He was allowed to damn near destroy another program with a stupid coaching hire. Anywhere else and Krebs would be selling oranges and blowjobs on Central Ave. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTR Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 100% not a prank. He's done. Strange world we live in. UNM dodged a bullet at the last minute. Thankful it's all over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anywhere else and Krebs would be selling oranges and blowjobs on Central Ave. The AD means everything to a program. At Nevada we've seen both sides of the coin. After the season didn't Krebs give him a vote of confidence? Which means he didn't have a clue what was going on with the program. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
