The New Mexico Lobos basketball program have made several changes this offseason, one including the hire of former New Mexico State head coach Paul Weir. The Lobos signed Weir to a six year deal worth $4.4 million and a base salary of $300,000 that will increase annually. This deal would have to be considered a win-win for both parties due to this being the cheapest coach the Lobos have had in many years, and the deal being worth much more than what Weir was making with the Aggies.
Weir was an assistant at NMSU from 2007-2016, then became the head coach for the 2016-2017 season.
