Colorado State to Hire Steve Addazio as New Head Coach

Today was full of coaching news. In addition to UNLV’s hiring of Marcus Arroyo, Colorado State has selected recently fired Boston College head coach Steve Addazio to replace Mike Bobo. This is, uh, an interesting hire. Addazio has a career winning percentage of .500 and his best season ever at BC was 7-6. Interesting to say the least.
