Good move. Wisconsin is already a top Big 10 Program. It's basically between them, Mich St. and Ohio St. every single year.
I'm actually surprised Anderson stayed this long.
Utah St. isn't a very good place to be. Crappy fan support (they weren't even selling out games this year despite having an incredible year), crappy conference (which probably hurts recruiting), and not nearly enough money to keep coaches from running off to "Big Conferences." Hopefully Utah St. doesn't slip too much without Anderson.

My money is on Kalani Sitake as the next USU head coach if they hire somebody from outside. They found gold once in the Utah DC well, I'm guessing they go there again.
Total bummer for USU football though. I like the Chris Petersens of the world. I'm not familiar with GA at all, but some of those articles about him loving life in Logan a couple of weeks ago made me think he could've been one of those guys. I guess the answer was he was......until the right job opened up.

I just heard him say a few days ago that he loved it there and wasnt going anywhere. Same spiel that Meyer gave only Gary said it even more emphatically.
What a joke. Why are these guys so ok with being two faced? I mean, I sorta get you cant be saying you are thinking about leaving, but cant these guys say it in a way that doesnt turn you into a big fat douchey liar?

Eh, it's just part of it. If he says he's thinking about leaving and it falls through then what?
I wasn't mad at Urban for leaving for even one second, and those that were are tarded.
Should be the same with GA.

Sounds like all the other staff is leaving too. That's kind of typical as well, and not always a bad thing, but I'm pretty sure it is in this case.

There's nothing wrong with Utah State, I had some of the best years of my life there. Fan support wasn't good during the bad years in terms of football, but fan support is FANTASTIC at USU. You should check out the basketball games. I would venture so far as to say it is better than Cameron Indoor Stadium at Duke. No lie. The conference isn't great but that never stopped Chris Peterson. But you're right about the money and money talks. Which I figure is probably what happened here. I'm happy for GA though, I hope we can find a good replacement. I second Kalani Sitake.
Here's some USU fans for you:

Would anyone in their right mind turn down... Probably at least a triple pay increase to stay in Logan where they can't even sell out their games despite having the best season in literally decades? I know many fans may have their butts chapped over this but very very VERY few people would stay in a dead end job for a sliver of the pay.
I guess some people are pissed that he stated that he was staying. Then again, what else is he supposed to say when he's being asked non-stop about his job? If he supposed to state the truth? "I'm actually entertaining many other offers because as you know, Utah St. is a start up job to where most coaches really want to go?"

Why the hell would Gary Anderson care about the fan support given to the bball team?
I was exactly referring to the fan support given to the Football team.
They couldn't even sell out some of their games this season. You'd think that fan support would be at an all-time high and the stadium would be overflowing due to such a turnaround. Gary Anderson even mentioned his disappointment after one game with the stadium only showing up with... What... 18k? 20k fans? He mentioned how he had invited a bunch of new recruits and that it makes things hard to recruit when fans don't show up.
Yet... Fans were expecting this guy to stay? How dare some of you criticize the guy. I criticize you. Did you folks do everything possible to support his program and keep him here? Judging by your (lack) of sellouts, I think not. And don't tell me it's because you folks have "sooooooo" many other things to do in Logan to keep you busy on Saturdays.
