“I think he’s got the worst job in the country,” Eustachy said of Weir (https://www.abqjournal.com/1079857/weir-has-worst-job-in-the-country-according-to-csu-coach.html). “I just told him that. It doesn’t pay enough. If I got paid $5 million, I’d take all that crap that you get in Albuquerque, but he doesn’t make enough money. But that place is different, as you know. It’s a different beast.”
As noted by Grammer, Eustachy once called the New Mexico job one of the best in the sport before previous head coach, and Eustachy’s friend, Craig “Noodles” Neal took the job. But after Neal’s exit from the Lobos and the way the New Mexico fanbase soured on Craig’s son, Cullen, Eustachy has taken a different course. He believes Weir isn’t making nearly enough money to deal with that kind of potential hostility.
“It’s a great job if you’re making $2 million, what they were going to give Steve Alford, but what they pay (Weir), no,” Eustachy said.

Any job where the fans actually care is not the worst job in the country. And New Mexico fans care. A lot.

Lived Albuquerque for about two years...God's Country. And yes, the folks there care a whole lot about Lobos hoops.

I'm not sure what kind of shape the Pit is in now...but it is one of the loudest college basketball venues I've ever been in.
