Sunday's WAC-aroni

Daniel Lyght has the latest in the Fresno State search for a new head coach.

Matt James provides a commentary about the position.

Here's our abbreviated take on who are 'seemingly' the major candidates:

Theus - just not the right background, certainly wouldn't stay long if successful and would prefer the UNLV position, so PTW says thumbs down

Dunlap - excellent X's and O's, a winner but will this work in D-1? "Dunlap is known as a master tactician. His practices at Metro State focused so much on footwork and fundamentals that his players would often go hour-long stretches without touching a ball...", but PTW says YES

Kent - wasn't able to succeed often enough at Oregon, with all those resources available, so PTW say NO

Rice - can't find any negatives other than no head coaching experience (if that qualifies) but the UNLV job search will first have to play out so timing is incongruent, so PTW has to say NO

Walberg -just not going to happen

Reveno - has topped out in Portland and will never be able to get past BYU and Gonzaga in the WCC but he would love the Stanford job if Johnny Dawkins doesn't get it done soon, so PTW says NO

Haase - A California native who played at Cal (and Kansas), there's no head coaching experience on his bio but plenty of support from some major power players, so PTW says he is a POSSIBILITY.

Walters - Was he contacted? Did he interview? He will eventually head elsewhere due to the same 'problem' facing Reveno but PTW just doesn't see this one happening, so NO.

There are other names floating around but we've 'stretched' the list probably over the credibility line as it is.

Feel free to congratulate or bombard once the decision is announced.
