The 49-year-old Nagy, who went 410-240 in 21 seasons at South Dakota State, spoke for three minutes before doing one-on-one interviews with various media outlets.
Here are five things we learned about the man who will be the ninth coach in WSU history:
1. Job security: While Nagy hasn't officially signed his contract, it will be a five-year deal, which is five times longer than any he's ever had. That's because a South Dakota law requires public employees to work under one-year contracts.
“That’s 21 one-year deals I’ve been working on,” he said before quickly adding that the extra security won’t alter how he approaches this job.
“In no way,” he insisted. “I will always view myself as being on a one-year deal. That’s the best way to coach. I think you can go in every day and fire yourself and look at your office and say, ‘You know what, this could not be yours tomorrow.’ That’s the way I’ve always operated.”
