DENVER -- Sonny Lubick began negotiating his departure as coach at Colorado State University on Saturday after 16 years, according to a published report.
The Denver Post said Lubick began telephone negotiations with athletic director Paul Kowalczyk.
Lubick told the newspaper he didn't want to do anything that would hurt the school's image. He remains popular, and there has been no public call for his ouster from alumni.
"I love the school, the student body, everything. I had 15 years here so good I would not want to destroy or hurt anybody," he said. "These were the best 15 years for any coach, and for all the coaches who worked with me."
Issues to be worked out include his role at the university because his contract includes a clause that would keep him on as a fundraiser. He also wants to make sure his staff are treated well.
"Paul and Sonny talked today and committed to talk again tomorrow," CSU senior associate athletic director Gary Ozzello said Saturday night.
