sell me on Veatch
This was from when he was hired in 09:
Quote
MANHATTAN, Kan. - Former Wildcat football standout and Manhattan native Laird Veatch, who has 18 combined years of service in collegiate athletics as both a student-athlete and administrator, has been named Associate Athletics Director for Capital Support at Kansas State, Athletics Director John Currie announced Friday.
A 1995 K-State graduate, Veatch returns to his alma mater after a seven-year tenure with Learfield Sports, K-State's multi-media rights holder, including the last four as Regional Vice President. In his new role, Veatch will be responsible for the direction and implementation of a development program for capital projects for K-State Athletics focusing on leadership gifts.
"We could not be more excited to have someone with Laird's skills and background joining our staff," Currie said. "Laird possesses significant relationship building experience and expertise in intercollegiate athletics both on the institutional and private sector sides, and he has a great perspective on what it takes for K-State to be successful based on his in-depth knowledge of our competition."
Veatch was a four-year letterman for head coach LHC Bill Snyder and the Wildcats from 1990-1994 and served as team captain during his senior season. He was a starter on K-State's Copper and Aloha Bowl teams in 1993 and 1994 and earned honorable mention all-conference honors at linebacker in 1994. Veatch also was a two-time CFA Academic All-American, was Academic All-Big 8 four times and was a Hitachi/CFA Scholar-Athlete in 1994.
"My family and I are absolutely thrilled to be returning home to K-State," Veatch said. "I'm extremely thankful to John Currie and the rest of the senior management team for providing me with this opportunity. I've been sincerely impressed with the direction that John is taking our program, and combined with the leadership of Dr. Schulz and the return of Coach Snyder, I just could not imagine a better time to rejoin the K-State family. Through all of my time at other institutions, I have found that you just cannot find better fans - and more importantly better people - than K-Staters. I can't wait to get back there and connect with my fellow Wildcats and do my part to serve the future of K-State sports."
As Regional Vice President of Learfield Sports' Heartland Division, Veatch was responsible for the leadership and oversight of eight Division I multimedia rights departments, including four new start-up properties from the ground-up.
Veatch was first hired by Learfield Sports in 2003 as the General Manager for Mizzou Sports Properties before being promoted to Regional Vice President in 2006. In that role, Veatch coordinated all multi-media activities within the Missouri Athletics Department's External Operations team and directed all Mizzou Sports Properties staff, activities and performance.
Prior to his period at Learfield Sports, Veatch spent nine years in athletic administration including a stint as Senior Associate Athletics Director for External Operations at Iowa State. Veatch served as a senior advisor to the Athletics Director and also directed all external operations units, including marketing, development, media relations and event management. He also negotiated long-term contracts with Nike and Coca-Cola, resulting in significant revenue and support for the department.
Preceding his two years at Iowa State, Veatch spent six years at Missouri, the last three as Assistant Athletics Director for Development, where he oversaw all fund-raising activities for the athletic department with special emphasis on facility and capital fund-raising projects. A major contributor to Missouri's record growth in total giving, Veatch managed the Tiger Scholarship Fund (TSF) annual giving program and directed Missouri's $102 million comprehensive Capital Campaign.
Veatch began his professional career in 1995 with the University of Texas, assisting with the development program as well as the external affairs area of the Texas athletic department.
Veatch earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from K-State in 1995 and went on to receive a master's degree from the University of Texas in 1997.
What They're Saying About Laird Veatch
LHC Bill Snyder - Head Football Coach, Kansas State
"Laird was a very fine player for us and is one of those young guys that you love to pieces. He was a great teammate, a tremendous student and an excellent person who comes from a great family that still resides here in Manhattan. I am excited about having him back and think he will be absolutely terrific for this University. I am awfully proud of him."
Kirby Hocutt - Director of Athletics, University of Miami, Fla.; Former K-State student-athlete
"K-State has made an exceptional decision in bringing Laird back to Manhattan. His passion, dedication and loyalty to KSU was inspirational to many of us, especially myself during our five years playing side-by-side for the Wildcats. These same characteristics, plus his professional experience and commitment to excellence in all that he does, will allow the athletics program to continue to build upon the exceptional work Coach Snyder and Ernie Barrett have achieved in providing all teams with first-class facilities over the past two decades. I am excited about the direction of the athletics department under the leadership of John Currie, and again, congratulate him on bringing Laird, Brandy and their beautiful family back to K-State."
Chris Plonsky - Director of Women's Athletics, University of Texas
"What tremendous news for Kansas State. Laird has been incredibly productive and has contributed everywhere he has been throughout his career. He is extremely loyal and will represent the University in the very best way. I can think of no one more suited, more energetic or more passionate about Kansas State and its future with regard to capital support than Laird Veatch. He is a tremendous young leader in college athletics."
Ernie Barrett - "Mr. K-State" and Former K-State Director of Athletics
"The hiring of Laird Veatch to this position is a tremendous choice for Kansas State and personally I have been trying to get Laird back to K-State to be a part of the athletic program for quite some time. Being a former student-athlete under Coach Snyder with such a great personality, it is obvious that he will do a tremendous job as Associate AD for Capital Support."
Greg Brown - President, CEO, Learfield Sports
"Laird Veatch is a great man, great friend and an outstanding leader who has served Learfield Sports in a tremendous fashion for several years. His caring approach to leadership and his tremendous vision will serve K-State in an extraordinary fashion just as it has our company over the years. I know Laird loves his Alma Mater, so this is an extra special opportunity for him. We'll certainly miss Laird within the company, but the great part of where he's going is that we get to maintain our connection to him and his family through our partnership with Kansas State as its multi-media rights partner."
Mike Alden - Director of Athletics, University of Missouri
"As an alumnus of Kansas State University, you could not have found a better new teammate than Laird Veatch. He embodies all of the academic, social and competitive qualities that K-State stands for and he will do that in an outstanding way. Laird has done such a great job at every institution that he has been and most recently has been a star for Learfield Sports. To get Laird back to a campus environment was going to take a very special place and obviously K-State is that place for him."

someone very itk told me a couple of years ago that they thought veatch was getting groomed to takeover when currie left. this person felt it would be an ok hire but they were concerned with laird's ability to think out of the box and to me that means that they didn't think laird was as smart as you probably would like. this is a person that would know and whose assessment should be trusted.

Who said hire someone with no AD experience? Hocutt has been the AD at two P5 schools and is chair of the football playoff committee.
The only requisite is, if Hocutt were to come to K-State he has to listen to Bill on the football hire provided it's not Sean and Bill still has his mental capacities.

how much explaining does me not thinking he has enough experience take? as much as you thinking he does have enough experience? to your point, we have plenty of message board space, we can do this all day and night and i'm sure it would be productive
you: he has as much experience as currie
me: everyone here hated currie

Post by: sonofdaxjones on February 28, 2017, 01:05:30 PM
The only two legit people on the list are Weiberg and Hocutt.
With that said, someone needs to reach out to Kevin Weiberg and gauge if he has any interest at all, I doubt it, but at least pick up the phone and ask.
Dax-
can you speculate as to who is doing the hiring here?
Well, I want to think that K-State Hero (until further notice) Pat Bosco is one of the people leading the charge. I also wouldn't be surprised if Vanier Jr. wasn't engaged on some level or possibly . I could see Kevin Weiberg's firm being engaged (hopefully after we ask him about any interest).

Hocutt
Weiberg
Veatch
Hamor
------------------------------this is the line at which we hate people below---------------------------------------------
Zenger
lots of other idiots
yes. 100% completely agree with this.
If you have to go outside that list of four, you're not doing it right.
I literally can't think of one great athletic director who is at his/her alma mater or one good athletic department run by an alum.

but nobody hate currie because of his lack of experience. people disliked currie because he was insecure and picked unnecessary fights with coaches that he should have been working for and trying to help as much as possible instead of against. I don't chalk his insecurity up to inexperience. I chalk that up to a personality flaw that I am 99% sure neither of the four candidates kk and I are talking about have.
I am completely fine hiring a younger, smart, ambitious person with ties to kstate athletics even though they have never been an AD. Do you only want people who have been an AD before?

people disliked currie for how he acted in his administrative roll, those actions were of an inexperienced manager
if given the option (which I have been given since it's my opinion), yes, i want someone with experience for reasons i stated earlier.
i happen to feel that our athletic department is a field of land mines right now and want someone capable of managing through the complex issues at play.

i really don't think it was an inexperience thing with currie but that's just my take from having been around him a few times and talking with people who have been around him a lot. it's just who he is.
maybe i could interest you in chad weiberg who even though he hasn't been an AD has as much or more experience as some who have. 10 years at osu. 10 years at ksu. 2 years at texas tech. 22 years at three different schools all in the big 12. :dunno:

Jack Swarbrick- Notre Dame '76
There's one!
Mike Holder- Oklahoma State
Did he attend OSU or just coach golf, either way, he can count. So we have 3, Swarbrick, Luck, and Holder. Swarbrick is still only 62, he's been there forever.

Well, I suppose it depends on how much credit you give Currie for all of the things that he accomplished. Kirby Hocutt seems like an obvious person to point to as well. Zenger is what he is, but we can claim another AD at a power 5.
My point is, I believe that in a lot of ways our AD has overachieved and trained quality people. I don't attribute all that to Currie (Hocutt has nothing to do with that) but it is one thing that I think we can point to as a strength of his. I don't know why someone from K-State automatically = Urick/Weiser/Krause.

The concern I have is, does our president have a vision? I know he has lead fund raising initiatives etc at Kstate, but does he have big picture vision?
Veatch gives us probably the best possible outcome on the football hire.
What about Kevin Lockett as assistant AD?

I have decided to go all in on Weiberg but bet it's Veatch.
The trick would be to force OSU in hiring Weiberg this year. Holder is like 71 or something. Then boom, we move on Brad with a 50% buyout reduction.

They don't, I just don't want our search to be limited to these guys. Hocutt actually passes what I think should be our first priority and that's to poach a current P5 AD. It has been pointed out that Hocutt has made more than one questionable hire though.

I think it is a little unique that K-State, for the size of athletics dept it is, has a fairly sizable shortlist of decent, plausible, candidates.

The thing is, friend. The one internal guy who is a legit candidate, is, well, a legit candidate. My Triple AAA Triple + sources say our interim AD was the guy with the contacts who sold the vision. As has been stated, his issue may be totality of picture, but a good second in command and good leadership from our Pres, BOD's and major donors can help with that straight out. After him, no other internal candidate should be considered.

if you bring back weiberg and put him in charge you have #2, #3 and #4 that were there the majority of the time that all this money was being raised and were doing a vast majority of the work to raise it. if we liked that aspect of things then offer weiberg today. it's not like laird is leaving so you'd keep laird and get weiberg. chad and his family loved manhattan and his wife is from kansas. combine that with the fact that weiberg is as hard working as anyone, has contacts, has worked at 3 big 12 schools and is universally liked by everyone and I'd offer him today. I'd be fine with hocutt as well.
Good points there. I like the idea of hiring Weiberg at 500-600K per year and saving the money we'd have to pay Hocutt for other stuff (like a new basketball coach), especially if we keep Veatch in that deal.

Is it asinine to believe a reinvigorated basketball program would more than pay for Weber's buyout and any salary difference for the new staff (both bball and AD), through increased ticket revenues?
Also football would be an even bigger money maker with Venzy.
Post by: Dr Rick Daris on March 01, 2017, 01:30:19 PM
I'm completely down with Weiberg, I think he would be an excellent choice and it's doubtful (unless there's something I don't know) that Veatch would have a problem with it.

increasing ticket revenues can be accomplished by selling more tickets or raising ticket prices (which would result in selling less tickets). i thought we already were selling a lot of tickets1?

1. We are selling a good amount of tickets, we can absolutely sell more, a lot more
2. We sell a lot of tickets at reduced prices
3. When we sell tickets but people don't show up we are missing out on revenue from parking and concessions.
4. This info is hard to find but I'm guessing were selling less apparel when people have given up on the program.
5. Decreased direct donations and we can't raise Ahearn Fund seat fees if people aren't buying the tickets. I know for a fact that you can buy individual tickets to games in seats we should be getting donations from.

If you're going to take him literally I'm assuming you have the numbers to back up your assertion that we can't make an additional $2 million in ticket revenue.

Kansas State University President Richard Myers today announced the formation of an eight-member search committee comprised of faculty, students, alumni and athletics representatives that will assist him in selecting the university’s next director of athletics. Myers appointed K-State Alumni Association President and CEO Amy Button Renz ’76, ’86 to chair the committee.
The committee will begin work immediately on a national search and offer its recommendations to Myers later this spring.
“The position of director of athletics at K-State has evolved into one of the top jobs in the country,” Myers said. “We are members of a strong conference and have incredible support from our passionate alumni base, students and other fans across the state and around the world. We are confident this position will attract highly qualified candidates.”
In addition to Button Renz, members of the search committee include: Dante Barnett ‘15, graduate student and former K-State football player; John Buckwalter, dean of the K-State College of Human Ecology; Suzie Fritz ‘02, K-State head volleyball coach; Jim Johnson ‘84, president and CEO of GE Johnson Construction Company; Hunter Post, K-State senior in kinesiology/pre-medicine and student member of president’s advisory committee on athletics; Be Stoney, K-State associate professor of curriculum and instruction and faculty athletics representative; and Mary Vanier ‘89, president of Grand Mere Development. Roberta Maldonado-Franzen ‘00, director of talent acquisition for K-State Human Capital Services, will assist the committee as a liaison.

In 1976, I served as a student rep on the Intercollegiate Athletic Council, a useless, rubber-stamp committee of amateur, though ambitious, bureaucrats that approved whatever Ernie Barrett wanted. (I remember sitting by Ernie in one of our pointless meetings and him offering me a breath mint. It's a moment I'll never forget – Ernie Barrett played in the NBA.) Our Very Important Committee, known around campus and as far west as Ogden and east to the outskirts of Zeandale as simply "the IAC," was tasked with "reviewing" (yeah right) resumes for the position of athletic director.
One of the notable resumes was from Lou Saban, who had just resigned as head coach of the Buffalo Bills because he was mad at owner Ralph Wilson over the handling of OJ Simpson's contract, which led to Wilson refusing to ever add Saban's name to the Bills' Wall of Fame. We (well, not we really) didn't hire Saban, because he obviously paled in comparison to the clearly superior Jersey Jermier. (I remember sending Jersey a note of congratulations. He sent one back that said, "Thanks.") By the end of that same year, however, the spurned Lou Saban had served as the athletic director at both Cincinnati (for 19 days) and Miami (Fla.).
Of course, you've already figured out the obvious: that Lou Saban is the father of Nick.
You would be wrong. Not related.
Anyway, Amy Button Not-Yet-Renz was just another cute chick on campus when I was helping to conduct all of this important business. Took her more than 40 years to get into a position to hire an AD. Pffft ... I was doing it before I graduated.

Ok, so K-State's athletic dept, with the hiring of John Currie, opted for a fiscal guy that could clean up the books and get the department in good fiscal condition. Unfortunately, Currie was not good with the coaches of the two biggest revenue sports (not warm and fuzzy).
Question: Are we going to hire a fiscal person, or a warm-and-fuzzy person to replace Currie?

yeah. that's the probable potential downfall of hiring the beloved school graduate. makes it harder to fire them.
also and I can't remember if this is public knowledge or not (probably is), but currie is a FIRM believer in never ever ever hiring a graduate of the school to be the coach because statistics show it doesn't work out at a higher percentage then if the person is not a school graduate. same for promoting within. nobody on the current fball staff was going to get the job when Snyder retired and brad was never going to be coach.

That's fair, I wasn't talking necessarily about the hire, but not firing him yet.
yeah. that's the probable potential downfall of hiring the beloved school graduate. makes it harder to fire them.
also and I can't remember if this is public knowledge or not (probably is), but currie is a FIRM believer in never ever ever hiring a graduate of the school to be the coach because statistics show it doesn't work out at a higher percentage then if the person is not a school graduate. same for promoting within. nobody on the current fball staff was going to get the job when Snyder retired and brad was never going to be coach.
No, I don't remember hearing that. Interesting.

he hired and promoted klein
I think his numbers and beliefs only apply to head coaches and not every position within the athletic dept. anyway I now remember where I heard this and I guess currie even gave a presentation on this and his belief about it to a group of people.

That's smart when people elevate an obviously under qualified coach like Kim Anderson (or Steven Henson) but incredibly dumb when looking at a coach who has a resume to succeed. Having a rule of never hiring a coach based on one factor seems remarkably narrow minded IMO

If Fullmer is wearing the suit look for him to do something incredibly unpopular that will get Currie crap canned right away. He's going to take Pat Summit's name off of the basketball court.

Quote from: GPC
Sounds like the search committee has had a lot of applicants and have had 10 people they have/going to have interview. Then the committee will recommend three. From what I hear Veatch is part of the 10 but highly unlikely to get the job. S. Snyder doesn't want the job. I guess a lot of really good outside applicants applied as well. Shooting for an announcement the second or third week of April.
Quote from: GPC
I am a long-time viewer of GPC but an infrequent poster due to my situation but to calm a few posters about the committee process plus input to the committee, I can tell you as fact that John Currie was forwarded to Kirk Schulz along with other names and Schulz had his eye on Currie the whole time for the hire. I can also tell you that the committee has met with all the coaches including coach Snyder plus there have been follow up individual meetings with coach Snyder for his thoughts. The hire will be President Myers decision after vetting from the committee so let the process play out.

I get that there is risk in his connection with Currie, but I'm going to assume that Veatch is his own person with his own ideas not only on fundraising and facilities, but also on relationships with coaches. If he does get the job, I don't think he's under qualified by any means.
As for the statement, I really don't care. Given oscar's situation if we were going to keep him the AD had to come out and say something. I was only surprised that it took Veatch/K-State so long to make as statement. Plenty of ADs have given a vote of confidence and made a move after that.

My opinion is that he shouldn't have been fired, unless we had a sure thing candidate worth a crap locked up. We didn't and he still made the tourney. Let him coach out his contract instead of paying a buyout and over paying for Brad Underwood.I have no idea what you just tried to type there, but i'm definitely not someone who just goes with the cool kids to be liked on this board.

I'd be pissed if I'm the AD that's just been hired and I hear it's a PR nightmare to fire the basketball coach because he simply made the tourney and the interim AD just publicly backed him another year minimum.
Shut your ass Veatch and let the new AD make any public announcements when it's time. If you get hired, make your losery ass comments and keep him.

I have no clue wtf you're trying to get at. My point was that a guy that is simply subbing in to make sure crap doesn't burn down, shouldn't be rough ridin' accountable for oscar rough ridin' Weber. Also, if I was said person, I would try not to be noticed at all until the next guy is hired. You know how you eff that up? Firing a guy that just made the tourney without having a credible candidate ready to fill in for him.was frank a sure thing candidate? is oscar a good or bad coach? do you not see in the grand scheme of things what is happening to this program?My opinion is that he shouldn't have been fired, unless we had a sure thing candidate worth a crap locked up.

People have been bitching for confirmation whether we were keeping him or not. You think he was blind to this?

If a new AD comes in with a plan for a new coach he can still do whatever he wants. If its not Veatch, he'll make his own decisions, but I'm sure he'll understand why it was done given the recruiting status.
I also don't think there are many ADs that would have fired oscar after this season at K-State.
Post by: 420seriouscat69 on April 03, 2017, 11:32:25 AM
I think the fact that it has taken this long to start interviewing means the search committee is actually taking the time to find a good candidate and not just rushing through a few idiots and making the easy hire (Veatch). Also, the fact it took them so long to get behind Weber for a new year probably means Veatch looked through what was available and decided it was better to go one more year with Weber than take a sub-par candidate and continue the dunpster fire for even longer.:thumbs:

I know most people don't put much stock in it, but a vote of confidence for a guy in oscar's situation makes some sense for recruiting since we are still trying to find a player. I'm sure when Veatch as acting AD met with oscar after the season this was talked about and Veatch gave him that. I have no problem with that.

agree with all this. we apparently weren't firing Oscar so the only option is to publicly support him and make it easier for that dork to go out and attempt to recruit. you have to support your coaches as much as possible and not actively try to work against them while you are employing them.

there is nothing unique or independent about loving oscar. In fact, "going along" would be with the group think that he needs more time. That is a very common opinion held by many older people.

I'm not a "oscar lover". I don't think in our current situation with the AD position, that we should send him off packing tho, when there's no legitimate suitors. Play out his contract and get the AD position situated first. Then kick his ass to the curb next year. I don't want a interim making the hire.I have no idea what you just tried to type there, but i'm definitely not someone who just goes with the cool kids to be liked on this board.

I have literally no clue as to what's going on with the AD search but I'd bet my first born that this has nothing to do with why oscar Weber is still our basketball coach.

So they must be choosing this guy to be the guy to choose the next football coach, because they like his track record of having hired two guys who were plucked for better jobs right? That is a positive mark, but I mean, that's the only thing I can come up with.
It's probably just that our president is 75 years old and can't relate to the younger generation.

I was in grad school at Wichita State during the end of the Schaus era, good dude, underwhelming AD. K-State should be able to draw better than an old man who has spent most of his relevant professional career in the Missouri Valley and in the MAC, especially given we have a finalist who's the current AD at an SEC school.
If it isn't Bjork we can assume we didn't meet his salary demands.
I can easily see a scenario where a guy like Bjork comes in and says that he wants full control to make decisions surrounding football when Snyder retires. Bill and Meyers probably laughed him out of the room.
But a guy like Schaus or the Toledo guy probably wouldn't give a damn since this is their last payday.

goEMAW's entire game is to blast social media with rumors they believe to be true so they can claim they were first if it becomes true. I read through the goEMAW post and here's the main points: a moderator is 97% sure the announcement will be today and is 75% on O'Brian and 25% on the Ole Miss guy. No real mention of Schaus. I'd take this all with a grain of salt though... it is goEMAW after all.

Quote
Athletic director Gene Taylor is leaving Fargo to take the No. 2 position in athletics at Iowa, with hopes of someday landing the top job at a Bowl Championship Subdivision school. Taylor, who will work under Hawkeyes athletic director and former NDSU quarterback Gary Barta, said this is his best route.
"Some may not necessarily agree with that. Believe me I can't tell you how many people I've talked to about this because I knew this was going to be such an agonizing decision," Taylor said. "Those that I talked to in the profession, including Gary, have indicated that if the BCS route is the way I want to go, this may be the step I have to take."
Only took him 3 years to make his dreams a reality. Stud boss.
Post by: Cartierfor3 on April 14, 2017, 12:24:05 PM
Taylor oversaw (as we unfortunately know) a dominating D2 football program that he helped develop. Yes, it is D2, but he's used to winning and probably does not like losery coaches. He went to Iowa where we have seen them slowly begin to resurrect their football program from the bottom of the Big10 and their BBall team hasn't been horrible.

I assume that he cares about money. I'm sure his three years at Iowa taught him about basketball as an actual revenue sport. Also the Iowa coach is a legit psychopath.

I hope this Gene from Iowa takes it upon himself to single-handedly design powercat 2.0.
It should be of LHC Bill Snyder chopping John Currie's head off with a giant ass sword, but instead of Bill's head, it would be the katpak head, and headset kid would be very seriously watching the action from about three feet behind and to the left of Bill.

“The first game I remember him being at as my athletic director was awesome,” Miles said in a phone interview. “I’m walking behind the refs at halftime and Gene is leaned over in the stands just giving it to them, yelling, ‘You guys are awful!’ It was amazing. As I’m watching this, I’m thinking I don’t even have to do anything. My boss has got it.”

Anyway, you guys are getting one of the best people that I have met in college athletics. I've only covered Iowa, but been around college athletics since 2000, when Bob Bowlsby was the AD at Iowa. Gene is just a fabulous person. Not flashy, but when it comes to substance and getting the job done, he is fantastic. He's as down to earth as they come. True Midwest guy and carries himself that way.
When he arrived, the Iowa athletic dept was in transition. Lot of older senior admins in place that were headed towards retirement. Gene, along with AD Gary Barta, basically remade the entire dept. They got rid of some dead weight that frankly wasn't very effective and Iowa needed to do better. He found some great people who have improved the production in terms of marketing and fan experience.
One thing you learn over the years is that if someone in the athletic dept isn't helping the coaches or supporting them appropriately, the word gets around. While his time was relatively short at Iowa, I never heard one coach, even off the record, say a bad word about Gene. No one in the athletic dept said a bad word about Gene. He was universally admired and respected by the coaches and everyone in the AD office. Kirk Ferentz absolutely loved Gene. He supports coaches and programs and get them what they need to compete and that doesn't always happen. He was in charge of new food for everyone that the NCAA started a few years back and that worked perfectly at Iowa because of his management.
I've talked to some folks at NDSU, where he was the AD before coming to Iowa, and they raved about him in the same manner which they did in Iowa City. His leadership helped build that program into an FCS power.
Honestly, it's been a bittersweet day for the Iowa program. I'm thrilled for Gene Taylor because he's now an AD at a great school in the Big 12. He is ready and deserves this opportunity. Having said that, Iowa is going to miss him a lot, but the athletic department is in much better shape thanks to his work.
You guys are going to really enjoy and appreciate having Gene as your AD. IMHO, this is a home run hire.

1 year after tim miles left NDSU we took a party bus to ndsu sdsu game. ndsu is losing late in the game and this new coach "saul phillips" was on thin ice and Gene kept walking in and out of the arena thinking he made a big mistake.... low & behold ndsu comes rolling back as saul put on a full court press.
it was then I knew that Gene Taylor cared man
.. thats cool as hell.
1 more cool story. im golfing with Gene, Saul & 2 boosters in a scramble in like 2012... they asked gene what he knew about Lakesbison .. Gene stops & says " I learned about lakes after ndsu beat minnesota... I get a call fron Notre Dame AD saying that he got 4-5 calls from boosters saying some dude from ndsu named lakesbison was on the message board telling us that we are afraid to schedule ndsu" haha

Nah, relax resident Tuckmigos.
It's just simply a comment on yet another safe, extremely pedestrian hire at Kstate.
Look at the makeup of the most notable jobs at Kstate. Almost every one of them is filled with people that won't be around 5 years from now and in most cases, even less.
Let's hope our series of safe hires and relatively short timers at the top make some good hiring decisions on some key jobs and that the people they hire are comfortable with the fact the entire senior administration, possibly even this guy will likely be retired (re-retired) or nearly retired within the first term of their initial contract.

Amazing stuff. My encounter with Gene was in Sioux Falls when NDSU took on the mighty South Dakota Coyotes at legendary Howard Frank Field. We were loading the elevator with 3 wagons of booze to go tailgate across the parking lot of our hotel.
Gene had just gotten done with his morning jog, hewas getting off the elevator on our floor and recognized EZQB right away and said "you boys are gonna have a lot of fun arent you"...I melted, we got on our elevator and there was silence of what just happened.

I don't understand why you're getting so mad, but you are a weird dude who thinks anything less than hyperbolic over-the-top praise of K-State is somehow putting Kstate down.

Well WackyTuck, I know you never look at things from a business perspective. But if what he did at NDSU was so incredible. Why did he go to a nice, safe 2nd in command job at Iowa?
Tons of full time D1 jobs at FBS mid majors have been open over the last 5 years, schools with 3x the budget of NDSU. instead, the 55 year old takes the extremely safe chief paper pusher/guy in charge of the grunt work at Iowa job? Kind of sounds like a guy looking to ride a nice 4-500k a year job into retirement, possibly?
That's kind a weird career path for a guy who reportedly built a monster and supposedly raised a bunch of money for a school like NDSU.

Bill isn't involved in this process
I'm not entirely sure about that. we had a committee that narrowed it down and then sent it to myers and I'm pretty sure that myers, wefald and Snyder talk to each other a decent amount.
Right, he isn't interviewing dudes though as pj insinuated.
My thought was more in line with what Daris said, and they laughed the suggestion out of the room, and not that he interviewed, but I should have been more clear.
I'm fine with this guy. Seems competent, and NDSU has become a freaking machine. He's starting from a good place.
I will say that this makes me feel like Chris Klieman is probably going to be on the map for next football coach, though.
So you now don't think this ad will be willing to just roll over when hiring a football coach? I'm confused.
It's not binary. I think the cadre of older, established decision makers probably have a comfort level with a more experienced (i.e. Older) guy. I think it's a given that Snyder will want a seat at the table when the decision for a new coach is made. Some ADs may be okay with that, and some won't.
Snyder isn't stupid. Sean isn't getting the job. Depending on when he steps down, Leavitt will be too old. But NDSU has a core philosophy like ours, Klieman may be palatable to Bill.
These things are not mutually exclusive.

I'm fine with this guy. Seems competent, and NDSU has become a freaking machine. He's starting from a good place.
I will say that this makes me feel like Chris Klieman is probably going to be on the map for next football coach, though.
So you now don't think this ad will be willing to just roll over when hiring a football coach? I'm confused.
It's not binary. I think the cadre of older, established decision makers probably have a comfort level with a more experienced (i.e. Older) guy. I think it's a given that Snyder will want a seat at the table when the decision for a new coach is made. Some ADs may be okay with that, and some won't.
Snyder isn't stupid. Sean isn't getting the job. Depending on when he steps down, Leavitt will be too old. But NDSU has a core philosophy like ours, Klieman may be palatable to Bill.
These things are not mutually exclusive.
None of this has anything to do with your wild ass assumptions that Bjork essentially told LHC Bill Snyder to sit his ass down and Taylor told Snyder that he would go as far as wiping Snyder's backside if that got him the job. There's nothing as all about the ages of those two guys that should have led you down the road you went down. A 44 year old man can't respect the wishes of a hall of fame coach but a 57 year old has the total ability to show compete deference?
You've also already assumed that Taylor wants to hire Klieman. I'm aware that the old NDSU got a job at freaking Wyoming, I'm guessing Taylor knows that too.

You're taking things I said and are kind of pushing them to extremes. Putting a guy who has continued a dominant run in FCS and developed a #1 draft pick QB on the short list doesn't mean he's candidate of choice. I have a handful of people I put on short lists for various roles in my organization, but it doesn't mean that I'm giving them the job if someone better comes along.
But, yes, I think Bill could have been tired of dealing with a young SEC guy for the past few years, and regardless of who Bjork is or how he thinks, my intuition says a near 80 y/o man, who is on the doorstep of retirement, may prefer an older guy. Past experience dealing with a multitude of aging execs tells me that they prefer dealing with older people. That's not a wild ass assumption. That is sitting down with people like Bill for a long time and listening to them complain about young talent. Hell, I just had a conversation with a guy a couple of months ago who told me that a couple of late 20's guys I had were geniuses, but he'd rather have people in their 40's and 50's around because they've been there, you know? So, he wanted me to replace the two best people on his account with inferior folks because of age.
Put Meyers, Snyder, and Wefald in a room, and sure, I can see them liking a guy in his late 50's over a guy in his early 40's.
And, yes, I believe the selection committee picked some names and Meyers decided with heavy input from Wefald and Snyder because common sense.

Why? I had no idea those guys were ageist. I would have thought three successful people would have gotten where they are without caring about someone's age. Did I misread Bjork's wiki page? I didn't know he was 24 years old.
I mean, people on here have complained constantly about Currie's poor relationships with coaches, but they think it's weird to get current coaches' input on a new AD hire?

What coaches should they be asking? The two revenue sport coaches are going to be here for a combined 38 more minutes. We shouldn't give two shits about what LHC Bill Snyder thinks about the new athletic director for a variety of reasons, I'm sure they do care about his input though.

Veatch? That dude was a bunt, and from what i've heard he ruined his chances by aligning himself with his former boss on too many big decisions. Good fund raiser, not a guy I'd trust to make big tims decisions on his own.
Hocutt? Experienced, young and good fund raiser. But frankly i've never understood our fanbases obsession with him. Had a massive scandal unfold in his time at Miami which he had no desire to own or fix, just bolted....to Tech, where he really hasn't been able to foster meaningful success on ths field/court with some of his hires.
Weiberg? Again, well liked, but like Veatch, havent seen him make big keg decisions on his own
The more i think about this hire the more i like it. For one primary but enormous reason and that's not only transitioning NDSU from DII to DI but guiding them to some pretty serious success and making them an absolute force in the FCS. Not many AD's in the country have the foresight to take on that kind of gambling venture AND make it wildly successful.

Solid first post. I like you already.
Also, thought the Ole Miss AD would have been a great hire, but he's in the middle of a scandal and potentially getting fired.... A. Tucks would have never allowed him and B. Yes, I know you all are all for more cheating, but the problem is he let his coach cheat and get caught... if you are gonna go with an AD who lets things slide you gotta make sure he doesn't get caught.

Well the inference is either those guys are ageists or Bjork is green. This would have represented the third major athletic department Bjork would have been in charge of. He's been in college athletics administration for 20 years. So no, he isn't green and I'm guessing Meyers can read a resume. So either pan is accusing Meyers of being an ageist or pan made his post ignorant of Bjork's experience.
I'm guessing Bjork not getting the job had a lot more to do with him being in charge of a department in pretty serious NCAA trouble and absolutely nothing to do with his age relative to Taylor's.

I've never met a single person over 70, regardless of success level, that isn't ageist to some degree.
We can debate severity, but yes, I believe there was at least mild ageism at play. I thought I was pretty clear on that.

B) As for Snyder exclusively preferring older coaches? I dont think age has much to do with it. It's a secondary result of Snyder wanting people on his staff that he is very comfortable with, have experience and more importantly direct knowledge of his program, and most importantly people that he trusts. I don't think Snyder really branches out and networks much with younger coaches and assistants at coaching conventions anymore. So yeah his choices of younger assistants are basically former players. But no i don't think the actual age is a huge factor, just a byproduct

I'd gave to look at overall numbers. But first initial salary starting out? Hardly getting a guy on the cheap. ..
But my personal opinion is if you are starting to approach paying ANY AD closer to $1 million/ yr range you are starting to overpay.
Start throwing big, big money at an AD and i'd prob argue you are spending irresponsibly.
Hell i bet , blind guessing, Taylors starting salary is prob pretty close to top 50 nationally, or somewhere around there. It's competitive and i have no doubt if we really wanted to could pay a lot more. But again. Nothing wrong with be responsible with administrators salaries

While I think your first point is a bit of oversimplification I somewhat agree with the spirit of what you're saying. The problem isn't the perception of ageism. Pan flat said it was a basis of hiring, I'd bet my car that Myers would take exception to that, and if he didn't we should. Again the younger guy has more experience as an actual D1, athletic director, a lot more.
In this case picking the older guy just because he's older is amazingly stupid because the age isn't coupled with an experience advantage. I seriously don't understand how none of you can see how dumb you guys are making General Myers out to be by giving him this excuse.

I don't know why you won't let this go.
I didn't say I'd take Taylor over Bjork. I didn't say Taylor was more qualified than Bjork. I said that old guys are more comfortable being around older guys. I look at LHC Bill Snyder's staff, full of old guys, former players, or people that share his DNA. I look at who Meyers listens to, and that's Jon Wefald, who was notorious for preferential treatment within his circle, which was old guys.
I guess I never realized it was controversial to say that guys in their 70's prefer the energy of a guy in his late 50's over a guy in his early 40's. I don't care if Richard Meyers would disagree with that statement or take offense to it. I look at all of the people on the table, who we assumed were candidates, and none of them got the job, nor were they really presumably that close. Weiberg, Hocutt, Veatch, Bjork, etc. All young. Then we started hearing about people who were really in the running. Ohio guy, Toledo guy, and Taylor. Old guys. crap, we even heard a rumor about Lynn Hickey for Christ's sakes.
You can have the last word on this, but the triad of power hired a guy almost 20 years their junior, and he is in his late 50's. I think, ultimately, Taylor will be fine. He seems to check some decent boxes, and what he did at NDSU was exceptional. Iowa is a strong school with a good budget in a similar demographic market. He seems like a guy who worked a really long time for a shot like this, and he's going to work his ass off, even if it's only 6-8 years.
Alright, I'm done. Go Cats.

I think that all sounds good to me. I actually don't expect him to fire him this year with where we are (unless he has a huge stud he knows he can get). I also don't care about an extenstion as long as there's no rough ridin' raise and no rough ridin' larger buy out. In fact, no buy out would be better. Because everyone knows that these extensions are A: for a good show of faith for recruiting and B: terribly at actually working for A. As long as the extension isn't simply throwing money away, whatever.I did catch the recap tho. This stud wants to meet oscar first before any talk of extension.

Do you extend the coach for the benefit of the recruits themselves or do you do it so that the coach thinks he might be able to keep his job and will actually go out and try to recruit for you?Interesting point, but I think more for the actual recruits and to take ammo away from the mid majors we recruit against. I would think a coach would want a job after the one he's about to be fired from and if he has one year left, he'll either try to salvage his job to recruit some players that might be willing to follow him. Either way, these types of extensions are a thin veil of confidence. God help us if it isn't.

I wonder if the title of the article could be "Women coaches are often gay. Sometimes coaches get fired?"
I usually just work under the assumption that a given women's coach is gay. I also do this with male HGTV hosts on interior design shows. It feels like I am rarely wrong that way.
I should also note that I personally prefer my women's coaches and HGTV male hosts to be gay.

Taylor came to Iowa in June 2014. This coach was fired in early August of 2014 following a 3 month investigation according to what I read.

I'm reading it as the investigation started at least a month before Gene came to Iowa. I'm thinking he had nothing to do with this.

IOWA CITY, Iowa — Missing iPads. Unnecessary travel. Improper credit card purchases.
A recent audit of the University of Iowa athletics department found that administrators failed to adequately monitor information technology purchases, allowing wasteful spending and creating major risks for equipment theft. The department’s IT director, Patrick Delin, left his job in February as auditors were nearing the conclusion of an inquiry that was sharply critical of his practices, Iowa confirmed this week.
The audit comes at a difficult time for athletic director Gary Barta. Last week, a jury awarded $1.4 million in damages for discrimination, unequal pay and retaliation cited by his former top aide, Jane Meyer. At trial, the university argued that deputy athletic director Gene Taylor was paid $70,000 more than Meyer because his job included overseeing IT.
ADVERTISING
The 10-page report was unknown to Meyer’s lawyers, who successfully argued she was doing similar or more work than Taylor for less pay.
“It turns out the one extra area they claimed Taylor was doing was being handled incredibly poorly,” said Meyer attorney Tom Newkirk, who added that he would have used the report to cross-examine Taylor. “We’re very disturbed that the university didn’t produce this report prior to trial.”
Taylor left last month to become athletic director at Kansas State. He didn’t immediately respond to an inquiry.
The Associated Press obtained the report from the Board of Regents, which was recently warned that the findings revealed unacceptable weaknesses. The report found an array of questionable practices in IT, where purchasing expenses skyrocketed by 43 percent in one year.
The waste ranged from five football players who weren’t charged for school-issued iPads that were missing when they left to an employee caught making personal purchases on a department credit card. That employee refunded the money during the audit; the university hasn’t identified the individual or released details of the spending.
The report said one employee took two trips for “training” that didn’t appear to be related to job duties — including to a conference for association executives — while another needlessly extended a trip by three days at a $530 cost. It said supervisory reviews of travel were ineffective, allowing unnecessary and excessive spending.
Delin, 39, had worked since 2012 as IT director, earning $100,000 annually. The university said he left Feb. 2 but declined to elaborate, calling it a confidential personnel matter. A phone number for him rang unanswered. The audit was dated Feb. 21 and sent to President oscar Harreld and Barta.
Auditors cited several weaknesses in the oversight of purchasing, discovering two vouchers with the wrong receipts attached. They also found that Delin used a subordinate’s credit card when his neared its monthly transaction limits, circumventing a key spending control and violating guidelines.
Auditors found that televisions, tablets, Apple watches and MiFi hotspots were either poorly tracked or not tracked at all. More than 120 pieces of equipment were listed as belonging to employees who no longer work there; some had been gone five years. Old equipment wasn’t disposed of as required through the university Surplus Department, increasing the risk of theft. Over a three-year period, the department bought 72 tablets on credit cards and submitted one to Surplus.
The report faulted Delin’s handling of phones that were loaned to employees who traveled internationally or needed hotspots. The department wasn’t reviewing bills to ensure employees paid for personal calls and that they were in compliance with NCAA recruiting guidelines. One phone was used by a staffer for an extended period without approval from management.
Department leaders vowed to review all policies related to how they buy, track and dispose of equipment and to tighten oversight of spending, travel and cell phones.

Currie was a POS. That said, I was unhappy to see him leave before having to fire oscar. However, I also didn't trust him with a football coach hire.
Who knows what the Mustang will do, but this Sean chatter is discouraging.
I too am happy to see Currie gone, however, he would have never fired oscar. There would have been excuse after excuse. He did what we needed him to in the time he was here (minus his awful basketball hire) and now his creepy mico-managing ass is gone.
I think some of you in here need to pop a few Xanax pills. The guy has only been on the job for a few weeks. I wasn't able to fly out to the Scott City fry this year, so I don't know if he attended, but he hasn't had too many opportunities to make public appearances, talk with people, or really make too many decisions. Can we at least wait until he starts making poor decisions before we threaten to burn everything down?

Honestly anyone that is trying to convince the board Taylor is some lame duck hire has really nothing to back up that statement other than silly anecdotes about how he looks like your typical middle aged dude. Sso what? Let's wait to actualy see how Taylor handles the program,etc during seasons and not literally the quietest time of the year before any real judgements are made.
Post by: 'taterblast on July 20, 2017, 08:36:46 PM
all he has done thus far is be boring and extend a women's golf coach who finished second to last in the conference. which is fine, he seemed normal in his initial interviews and it's better than socially awkward currie. but, he's also working on a oscar extension, so he's going to really have to earn it to be anything other than low/medium.
Post by: DKmode500 on July 20, 2017, 08:49:25 PM
Again, i know it's hard to wrap your head around. But again, its the fricking slowest time of anything newsworthy for sports related stuff. What are you expecting exactly? Im just curious.
As for working on new extension for Weber. Taylor has been rather vague on it actually. Im sure an extension will ultimately take place, but stay with me here, the merit there should be whether Webers buyout increases or not. Hell i dont care if he gets a bump in annual salary. If his buy out stays the same, Taylor did his job correctly and that extension is essentilly a tolkien piece of paper. . If not, then yes you can bitch. But the longer that drags out negotiation wise, SHOULD make you happy because it's indicative that Taylor isnt some featherweight pushover

Part of his post was also critical of extending an insanely underperforming golf coach.

But the simple fact is he's walking into a situation where Kstate Athletics has averaged around $31 million a year in private giving for 5 or 6 straight years. Can he maintain and grow that? Can he grow the $18.5 million a (annual/operating) Ahearn Fund? Can he grow the Directors Circle that has the lions share of Ahearn giving.

Outside fundraising and building things around good/great products already established was Currie really any of those things? Not really.
I get the mantra of 'we want a guy who gets things done, *enter caveats of "as long as he doesn't cheat TOO much"*.
I think you can directly link it to essentially every program that ultimately become embroiled in huge scandals. I'm sure Baylor started out with this exact same attitude of being so obsessed with winning/success that an attitude was taken of "as long as we dont do anything REALLY bad" we are fine with it if we are winning. Then when the success grew the willingness to allow gray areas to expand grew and the wllingness to turn blind eyes to things becomes more prevalent. And then when crap hits the fan the fanbase either straight up denies everything or stupidly acts astonished things got this bad.
It's really an inane type of thinking that if you invite bad people to do 'just certain bad things' you can tolerate on some level, that worse things won't come from it.

The morning show is really, really bad though. How the third wheel, Jake, i ever in front of a microphone is a great mystery. I think his tongue is too big for his mouth or he's always sucking on a grape (no, not Kietz). And then he's not funny or insightful. The other two are just average at best.So Learfield didn't dump 810 after all? That's too bad, they are a horrible partner.810 is one of the best sports radio stations out there. What a weird take.

I mean, it's a really good sports station. It's made such an impact that it has it's own restaurants surviving (other than the plaza) around the KC area. It's depleted 610 too. If it wasn't for the Roayls and 98.9 the rock revenue keeping 610 afloat, they would have closed up shop years ago.
Post by: Panjandrum on July 26, 2017, 09:46:23 AM
I don't get any of the pregame stuff, and I can't really recall if they do much post game. I usually have to web stream most of the content.
And to be clear, I'm not talking about the stuff 101.5 does that is proprietary to them. I'm talking about the hour before and hour after the game.
Post by: Panjandrum on July 26, 2017, 09:49:20 AM
I enjoy the morning show. I actually run around the same group of friends as Jake, so I don't mind him. He's the producer, so he kinda gets to do what he wants.

Steven St. John is pretty entertaining. But overall, the morning show is pretty boring. All of it is extremely repetitive. I stopped listening to sports radio about two or three years ago because there's nothing new or insightful. I get more enjoyment out of listening to various non-sports related podcasts.

Exactly, they preempt K-State sports way too much. There have been several occasions that they'll preempt K-State programming for other college football games. Last season after a game I had to listen to OU vs. Tech because either the entire broadcast or the postgame was moved to another Union Broadcasting station that didn't come in clear in western Johnson County. They are a good sports talk network but a terrible broadcast partner and I'm not sure why Learfield tolerates it, 810 will still talk about K-State if they are on another network. Even the strong daytime signal does no good outside of 11AM kickoffs and on those you get zero pre or postgame.

While I'll admit i have SOME egg on my face for making fun of you and then immediately seeing this....
Here is the the real issue, Wefald/Weiser SOLD our broadcasting rights to Learfield. So using this as some slight against Taylor holds exactly 0% water, because he or anyone at KSU has very little if any actual input/shot calling into renewing contracts or finding new broadcasting stations. It's kind of why Kenny Lannou explicitly states it's Learfield's obligation and responsibility to find a new radio home for Kstate sports in KC, which i anticipate will happen rather quickly. Be upset and angry, but at least know who you should focus your angst at. Or just continue misplacing it
Post by: sonofdaxjones on July 28, 2017, 07:32:51 AM
Anyone who is engaged in a process such as this knows you don't rely solely on partners in your biggest market.
K-State ultimately retains the rights on all content.

It's a partnership in every sense of the word. Yes, Learfield is a conglomerate, but they put decision-makers on the campuses of schools they partner with. Ben Boyle is the general manager of K-State Sports Properties and Learfield Sports. What is happening in Kansas City is more in the hands of people in Manhattan than in Plano.

is this mustang broke, or is he an untamed mustang, roaming out on the Kansas tallgrass? time will tell
