A leader for the San Diego position?

With Bill Grier out at San Diego, Mark Ziegler surveys the coaching landscape and offer six replacement possibilities. Early on in his article, he speculates:

"...Snyder may quickly announce Eric Musselman as Grier’s replacement..."

Later, it's this about Musselman: "The leader in the clubhouse. He’s in his first year as an assistant at LSU after spending two years in a similar capacity at Arizona State. But he’s a USD alum, having played there in the mid-1980s, and has a long history as a head coach at the pro level, including the NBA’s Golden State Warriors and Sacramento Kings. He was most successful one step below, compiling a 400-155 record in U.S. minor leagues (CBA, USBL, D-League) where you have unlimited roster turnover. He is known as shrewd tactician and excellent game coach (he’s already had more than 900 games as a head coach, and he just turned 50), and he has privately coveted – and pursued – the USD job for years. He’s also coached foreign national teams, most recently Venezuela. The resume is impressive. The only question is his ability to recruit after only three seasons at the college level..."

Columbia's Kyle Smith is also listed as he formerly assisted at San Diego.
