You heard it here at NEARsports FIRST. A source tells us that the ASU Wolves head coaching job HAS BEEN OFFERED to Nolan Richardson for next season.

I heard that Nolan would coach for a couple of years and then turn it over to his son. nearsports/0c4fae0e.gif

I can hardly believe this story, but if true this will be nationwide news. Man talkin bout gettin in the eye of the media in a hurry, this should do it. I think I hope its true, if only for the excitement factor.

I would HATE this. Sure it would get media attention but it's hard to overlook something as large as his blatant racism and horrendous graduation rates. I would rather have a lesser-known coach and take my chances. I think this is nothing more than a manufactured rumor at this point. Keep in mind this is coming from a lifelong DIEHARD Indian fan.

NO leg pulling here, folks. A VERY reliable source tells us that the job HAS BEEN OFFERED to NR and ASU is awaiting his decision.

man i already have my football tickets. now if nr takes that job ill have to buy my season basketball tickets. biggrin.gif

According to a AP release Nolan was asked whether he would take the now open job at ASU and he said "i would definately consider it" I mean the positives are the media attention, more good recruits and probably better attendance. But like I said there are negatives here too.

Wouldn't that make Frankie Broyles steaming nearsports/07388820.gif

all i can say is WOW

pokeyhog- 02-19-2008
Nolan Richardson would be a good pick up for asu from a ticket sales stand point but he is 67 I think and has missed out on this years recruting. He would be 69 or 70 before his recruting class made any impact on asu basketball. That is old to be rebuilding a program.

Sigma_Chi_04- 02-19-2008
That is old for a coach taking a new job. Also where is ASU going to get the money to pay him?
