Per Nilsson gone

[esplanade91]

Accepted a position as women's HC at Pepperdine. What?!

 

[patdog]

Well, he gets to coach here:

And he gets to coach a very successful women's tennis program with plenty of top recruits within easy driving distance.

 

[esplanade91]

I'm well aware of Pepperdine's status in college tennis... I just thought being the HC of a top 10 team in the best conference for a MEN'S program that he WENT to was enough to keep him.

hard to imagine...........

giving up Starkville for Malibu.

If I was the head coach of OM anything, I would take pay cut to work at Pepperdine.

Nilson's gone?

 

[dawgphd]

He was men's assistant at Pepperdine before coming to MSU.

This will be an interesting hire by the Athletic Department. Although a minor sport it is one we have had both previous and recent success. It may actually be the sport we have the best shot at a national championship.

Does the "hire an assistant" model apply to men's tennis?

 

[esplanade91]

Whatever helps us continue to sign European players.

Or hire Johnny Mac!

+ 1, Mutt. Well played.

I saw Andre Agassi at Waverly checking out houses.

Without even interviewing Bjorn Borg first? Gees... Strickland really needs to go.

In all seriousness, I won't be surprised if we hire some pro from a Jackson tennis club and parade him around as the ambassador of ethics and hard work.

See that view every time I ride my Harley to the beach...never gets old.
