Pugmire staying put
Message boards and local gossiping can be put to rest. Utah State Athletics Director Rance Pugmire said he is staying in Logan.
Despite recent rumblings of Pugmire looking for a job elsewhere, he said he is not searching.
He was tipped off about a rumor of him going to the University of Idaho last week when an unidentified reporter from The Utah Statesman phoned Kevin Dustin, Utah State associate athletics director for external operations.
The caller, who identified themselves from The Utah Statesman, is not a member of the staff and remains a mystery to the publication as well as the Athletics Department.
“The stuff about the University of Idaho caught me more by surprise than anyone,” Pugmire told The Utah Statesman Monday. “I’m very much enjoying it here.”
