Snyder Retirement Coaching Search Master Thread

[bones129]

What the hell is a steffy?

[GoodForAnother]

thread scares me

my imo:  joel klatt is way hotter than scott frost.  it isn't even close.

I was looking through some Big 12 stats this week and noticed we're #1 (by a large margin) in points allowed in the conference. Our defense is surely salty.

I'm not saying we push Hays out. Tom has become that old guy who talks to any random people that will listen at restaurants, HyVee, etc. He won't shut up about being ready to retire and slow down.

What is the legitimate possibility of landing a current NFL coach? There are some coaches that are struggling at the level due to poor management. They could get a reprieve with such a great and supportive fan base in Manhattan. Or is that a huge step down?

We just won't know until we ask.

I don't understand people being scared about discussing this stuff. the facts are that Bill and a lot of our coaching staff are super, super old. we could be in a coaching search (one of the funnest things in all of message boarding) at any moment. Bill retiring isn't that scary to me because I know it will be super fun to look for a new coach and I've prepared myself for it. did you guys see how cluttered his office is? do you think he's looking forward to relocating all of that stuff to some trailer or whatever for an entire year when they knock his home to the ground this winter? you know what old people love? change. they thrive on being outside of their routine and moving to temporary locations for an entire year while their new home (that they didn't get as much say in designing as they wanted) is built.

  I hadn't thought about the possibility of a "We're moving grandpa to a home" type moment this winter.

I think it's okay to be scared. That completely irrelevant feeling that were the prince years...I wouldn't wish that feeling on anyone except a lot of people.

I didn't enjoy the coaching search when it ended with Weber but otherwise yes super fun.

My first few years as a die hard fan were the Ron Prince years. It was frustrating, but it taught me to enjoy the little things. I got to see Jordy Nelson fight for yards after little 2 yard dump passes. I got to see a defensive lineman break his collarbone trying to tackle Josh Freeman in the non-con. I got to whip a stupid towel at games and almost got to witness that sweet Willie guitar thing on a regular basis.

The truth is that the bad times help us appreciate the great ones. I often wish we could be perennial powerhouses till the end of time, but K-State's story has always been overcoming adversity. That lesson is a great one, not only for Bill's youngsters, but also for all the youngsters in the stands.

[meow meow]

we are 3 games from sharing another Dr. Pepper and no one is really excited, that's how good we have it now.  so yeah, you should be scared.  sure coaching searches are fun, whatever, until you get a guy that doesn't win as much as you'd like.

[steve dave]

then you hire another coach that does win a lot. KSU fans need to quite being defeatist losers. there is nothing stopping us from being awesome with another coach.

That's the old days pops, we are now a big dick college football power with top 20 facilities.  We should be playing for the conf every season

i'm just going off of the hires Currie has made thus far, and the internal candidates we have.  that, and I don't want the Snyder era to end.

Would a Gronk bro want to come coach little Gronk? I vote that. #family

I don't think anything he has done indicates what type of hire he will make in football.  I do not think Currie will fill the position internally.

This is all assuming that Currie sticks around after hiring Bill's replacement. It was always my understanding that replacing Bill was the first step to Currie chasing $$$ at a bigger school.

I was wrong about Snyder, but no one thought he would do as well as he had. So really everyone was wrong. We're in this together.

Wefald would beg to differ. Was there any doubt???

wefald got us in that mess to begin with. he's pretty much the worst thing to ever happen to KSU in both academics and athletics.

[steve dave]

I can't even imagine how bad it would have been if he didn't have Bob Krause (enormous stud) and Pat Bosco (enormous stud) to save his ass

[treysolid]

I think Currie knows that not alot of other power 5 schools are going to seriously give him a look until he makes a solid football hire. I would be surprised if we end up with a WTF hire, due the fact that his own personal ambition is riding on the back of the Snyder replacement.

sometime the staff is more important than the head coach

Agree that Pat Bosco is a stud. Krause was/is a tool.
