Meh. Ignoring my UD bias, I'd have chosen Nagy over Steele if I was WSU's AD. A coach who's been around for a long time, helped his team transition to Div 1 (pretty sure) and then succeed in this division, versus a coach who hasn't had a head-coaching job yet. As well, Steele getting the X gig, follows the bloodline method that X has proven is successful for them going back about 5 coaches.
