The New Mexico coaching search has hopefully come to the end with the Lobos being “close to finalizing a deal” with New Mexico State’s Paul Weir, per Jon Rothstein.
Weir went 28-6 in his one year as the Aggies head coach as he took over for Marvin Menzies who left for the UNLV job last year. He led the Aggies to a second-place finish in the WAC but ended up heading to the NCAA Tournament by winning the WAC tournament.
Weir was an assistant with New Mexico State for the nine years prior to earning the head gig, and prior to that he was an assistant at Iowa from 2005-07.
