San Diego fires coach Bill Grier
Former Gonzaga assistant was with Toreros for eight seasons
SAN DIEGO — Bill Grier has been fired as coach at San Diego after the Toreros finished 15-16 in his eighth season.
Grier had an overall record of 117-144.
He had been an assistant at Gonzaga for 16 years before replacing the fired Brad Holland in March 2007. The Toreros upset UConn in the NCAA Tournament in his first season before losing to Western Kentucky and finishing 22-14.
Grier never came close to replicating that success.
The program was buffeted after Brandon Johnson was indicted on game-fixing charges related to the 2009-10 season.
