The search to replace Scott Nagy at South Dakota State is underway, and interviews have begun.  I have heard a bunch of names here. They are:

• Ryan Miller – Associate Head coach UNLV.  A South Dakota native – went to school Northern State (SD).  In addition to his time at UNLV, has been an assistant at Auburn, Memphis, New Mexico, and Pepperdine.
