Foolish penalty at critical time in game. Just terrible.

whether you credit motivation or ref behavior modification, there is no question that kstate loses by double digits without sean's display of spirit.

It wasn't a hold and neither was the first one called on Chase.  Both were crap calls and i loved Sean going off on the refs...and i do think it helped us out in multiple ways.

Oh, hogshit.  That was nowhere even close to a holding because the defender fell down and brought his blocker down, which made it look like a hold.

I'm not advocating for Sean's position for HC, but that got some points for me, and ironically, the team played much better after that outburst.

Even though the game looked hopeless at this point, I really enjoyed the entire series.  And I was also going to comment on the ref's sassy mic drop there.

Still, it is hard to conclude that Sean getting in the refs' heads did not lead to the 2-3 picked up flags at the end there. I'm not sure I have ever seen that before in a Cats game.

Bill had spent several years coaching at several places in California and Texas, then spent a decade as OC at Iowa prior to becoming HC at KSU. Sean has spent about 20 years as director of football operations at KSU, and the last six years or so as special teams coordinator. In order to recapture his dad's lightning, Sean would need to gain a ton of experience overnight without actually doing the kinds of things required to gain that experience.

Title: Re: Sean is not head coach material
Post by: WildcatNkilt on November 27, 2017, 09:00:03 AM
I think maybe it was Tech game where I saw Sean lay into a guy right after a good punt return for not running up field and finding someone to block.  Sean is extremely technique and "play to the whistle" driven, which is why we have had so much success in Special Teams.  I can't say he knows offense very well, but I would love to see him in an OC seat for a year.  If Bill stays another year, I hope this happens.   
Title: Re: Sean is not head coach material
Post by: kso_FAN on November 27, 2017, 09:03:10 AM
IMO Sean as OC would be a disaster. Every former player I've ever talked to has said his football knowledge is suspect outside of special teams. He would have to have a group of great position coaches and frankly those guys would have to call much of the offense.

It's hard to believe he's spent his whole football career with Bill and not learned anything about the game.

First, his focus has always been special teams and specialty positions, plus all of the administrative stuff. Certainly he's learned some things about offense/defense, but he has never focused on an offensive or defensive position, let along entire schemes. Second, a large part of my opinion on this largely is based on what I've been told by several former players.

Sean could not be worse than Dimel.  Our current offense is devoid of the creativity seen in offenses around the country, and i'm not talking about no-huddle, throw it all over the field stuff.  Our offense is stale and predictable and i would be shocked if Bill was not aware of it.  I'm sure Sean reminds him every Sunday.

I wouldn’t be excited about it, but this is obviously what Bill should have done years ago if he was serious about Sean taking over. Maybe he already tried and Sean just said no thanks.

He might be more qualified to be KSU's HC than its OC.

In terms of CEO style, I can see that.

But in terms of the normal route (i.e. GA, position coach, and offensive/defense coordinator position), he doesn't meet the basic criteria.

You (and a couple of others apparently) missed my point. HCBS brought with him or hired people he knew to fill critical positions here at KSU. Who are those same types of people that Sean would know or could bring in? Almost his entire "coaching" life has been in and around KSU. IMO, his ability to hire the same caliber of people that his dad did when he arrived here, is severely limited. So again, unless he's willing to basically, not totally, work with what's left to him, he'll be handicapped from the outset. Not something I'd like to see. For him but more importantly for us.

I don't understand why people isolate this to just Sean, this is the case for anyone who takes this job. None of the usually mentioned potential candidates are coming with a staff.

That's bullshit. I've acknowledged that people think he would have a harder time because he's never left, I've never denied that. I then ask who Venables is bringing with him and there is no answer. That's because like Sean, Brent will need to build the staff, he isn't a head coach, he never has been. When he leaves Clemson the perceived best guy for the DC position will likely replace him.

Venables will earn a job because he's been a top defensive coordinator for years. He's worked at two top tier programs that won national titles while he worked there. Both programs he has worked for rotate in young staff much more frequently than K-State/Snyder has done, especially during 2.0. He won't have the perception (real or not) that he just got the job because his dad was a legendary head coach at the school that hired him.

well you either aren't trying very hard or are pretty terrible at logic. I wouldn't have a solid idea of who would come with ANY coach in the country - that doesn't mean that Sean is just as prepared to build a quality staff as any other coach in the country.

Both programs he has worked for rotate in young staff much more frequently than K-State/Snyder has done, especially during 2.0. He won't have the perception (real or not) that he just got the job because his dad was a legendary head coach at the school that hired him.

Haven't argued against this either. As a matter of fact I've said this is THE argument for Brent. That doesn't mean he's coming here with some hotshot staff in tow.

Acknowledging that Brent definitely has a bigger circle of peers, I think they both essentially have the same plight, they will have to want to have coordinators who want to be a DC/OC at Kansas State instead of wanting to work for Brent or Sean or anyone else who has never been a head coach before.

Not sure this is true. Agree with it or not, Sean was visibly standing up for his players and team. If you watch at least some of the video, HCBS was standing there watching and wasn't making a single move to intercede or tell him to calm down. Implicitly, he agreed with his son's behavior. I'm guessing that as long as he doesn't do anything remotely similar to his subordinates, any assistants considering coming to work for him would have no problems with Sat.

There's a scenario. Sean gets the HC position, fires Dimel (among others) and hires his Dad as the OC.

I (maybe ignorantly) have always kind of looked at Kirby Smart and Venzy as the same situations. Kirby brought in an OC with 30+ years of coaching experience to Georgia and brought a young up and comer along with him from Bama as his DC. I could see Brent doing something similar (maybe young offensive position guy from Clemson as OC, and a veteran DC).

again, how would that be different from any other coach in the country? Even former head coaches in KSU's wheelhouse would be similar.

All the reasons others have said re: Sean coaching hires.  He doesn't have experience outside of the program to make a lot of connections.  The nepotism look may scare some hires away.  If we hired Venables for example, I would be most interested in his OC hire as that is not his expertise.  Wouldn't be worried about defense.  With Sean, I would worry about offense and defense but not special teams. 

Maybe the biggest thing unsaid in this thread is that Sean isn't particularly qualified for the job anyways.  Assembling his staff would be his first major decisions as head coach.  Already being on the fence, I would want to see a lot of success there to convince me that he is the best coach for the job and not the coach I fear he is.

Agreed. One thing that does make me feel a little better about that with Brent, at both of his stops, those programs have had top 10-20 offenses damn near every year. Hopefully he has built relationships with many of those offensive coaches throughout his years at OU and Clemson, and could bring one/some of them in, or at least go to them for referrals.

I would support that and really be interested in who he could get.

So just to clarify, you are saying Sean is not particularly qualified because the only person he's coached under is 20+ years under one of the best college coaches of all time?  Or because he's related to said coach?

This is what drives me a little crazy, and i'm not advocating for Sean here...quite honestly i threw up in my mouth the first time him taking over was mentioned...but if a person worked as a very successful coordinator and assistant head coach for Nick Saban or Urban Meyer for 25 years, i can't imagine a person on earth would say they weren't qualified to be a head coach.

I am assuming you are too young to appreciate the magnitude of what Bill accomplished.  It's arguably much more than Saban and Meyer combined.  The fact that you would compare his accomplishments to Beamer and Alvarez "being generous" tells me all i need to know.  I'm not going to win this argument so i will tap out.  My whole point was why people don't think Sean is qualified.  Again, i'm not saying i want him as our HC but i struggle to make an argument that BV is qualified but SS is not.

Sean would be more qualified as an OC/DC. I would still prefer he coach somewhere else. It’s not just about making connections with other potential staff members, but learning from different coaching philosophies. In any career people generally benefit from switching jobs and learning from different mentors.

The nail was hit on the head earlier.  A special teams coordinator, hell, even Saban's or Meyer's special teams coordinator, should not be promoted to head coach.  While he's done a great job, Sean hasn't proven anything except that he can do some good things with a return game.  Tim Tibesar did some good things with the return game, then immediately flopped when he was promoted to a position with more responsibility.

Yes.  Being at least a DC or OC is requisite experience. 

Being an "assistant head coach" carries zero accountability.  Nobody has ever called for the "Assistant head coach" or "director of football operations" to be fired or receive a raise because nobody cares about them.  Coordinate an important unit, put your balls on the line, and prove your worth.   Sean has had the chance to prove himself in a position of accountability at any time over the last 20 years.  He hasn't done that.

Are there any good head coaches that were neither an OC or DC before they became a head coach, besides Dabo Swinney and Urban Meyer?

Fun fact:
Urban Meyer has never won less than 8 games in a season over his entire career. 
Iowa State has only won 8  or more games 7 times in its existence.

I just want Bill to leave and we quickly hire someone so this incredibly worn out debate can finally end. I think I've now reached my limit of reading, typing, and saying the same crap repackaged 75 different ways.

I've not had the debate so this is all new to me.  It's a very difficult debate to have with persons that don't appreciate the magnitude of what Bill has done here at KState.  I can understand now why there are so many posters on goEMAW that castigate him.  He's not above questioning but he's close  :)
The nail was hit on the head earlier.  A special teams coordinator, hell, even Saban's or Meyer's special teams coordinator, should not be promoted to head coach.  While he's done a great job, Sean hasn't proven anything except that he can do some good things with a return game.  Tim Tibesar did some good things with the return game, then immediately flopped when he was promoted to a position with more responsibility.

I want someone who has had success at managing a unit that's on the field more than 10 times a game.


Jesus Christ, this. How do so many of our tuckiest fans not realize that being a successful Special Teams OC is undoubtedly WAAAAAAY easier -- and carries significantly less weight -- than being a successful OC or DC?

I didn't even know you were a football coach, learn something new everyday.

This is such a stupid point you’re trying to make. You’re going to find a bunch of dogshit head coaches that called plays at one point since there’s been like 1000 of them. You can’t just highlight 5 guys who had success without that background and act like that’s a fair comparison.

Also Dabo is the only one on your list to make the jump at P5 school. Everyone else took their first HC job somewhere in the G5. Dabo also started with an interim tag. If Sean is HC material do what the others did and go after a HC job and win for 2-3 years at Rice or somewhere and show it

You guys raise fair points by listing off the five or so coaches you named without coordinator experience, but each of those guys (except for Dabo) had head coaching experience before taking over a P5 school.

I'm fine hiring a successful HC that didn't have coordinator experience prior to being headcoach.  If Ball State or Youngstown or Houston or whatever want to take a chance on a position coach or ST coordinator, let them run that experiment.

When I think "head coach material" I instantly think of Defensive Coordinator Tim Tibesar.
But this is kind of the exact point I'm making.

Our special teams were GREAT in 2006.  Then Tibesar was given a role that required more responsibility, and he was completely exposed. 

I'm not saying that having an OC or DC title attached to your resume is all the experience I want -- I'm saying I want a coach to have that experience so I can have some idea whether or not they're capable of managing one side of the team at a high level. 

Tibesar obviously failed his test.  Sean hasn't even sat for it.

My point is that being a coordinator is clearly not an accurate indicator of success of a head coach, neither is having success on a lower level. The special teams coach thing is something specifically concocted as a talking point against Sean, evidence to the contrary be damned.

We don't do this anywhere else because it's silly. Wanna be CEO of the company, need to be the CFO first. You'd be a lousy president, you've never been vice president. There's no way you can step in and be the manager, you've never been assistant manager. It's a flimsy, silly premise, it won't stop happening though.

If succeeding as a coordinator isn't an accurate indicator of future success as a head coach, and having head coaching experience at a lower level isn't an accurate indicator of being a successful head coach at a high level, then what is?  Predicted ability to bring in assistant coaches?  Recruiting experience?  Do those work in Sean's favor? I honestly don't know because he's never really been asked to do those things.

I guess my question is, what is it about Sean that makes people supporting him go "yeah, this is the guy we should get"?  The only thing he's shown is that he's a good special teams coordinator and that he's done vague "behind the scenes" stuff for us.

I can't speak for MIR but my point has never been "Sean is the guy".  My point is that the arguments made against him seem ridiculous and concocted to fit an agenda.  I actually surprised myself researching as many successful head coaches as i could think of with how many were never OC or DC.  I wasn't sure i'd even find ONE when i started looking.  It was also amazing that several only had one or two years experience as an OC or DC...not nearly enough for them to be considered "successful".   And I only researched the best coaches i could think of...Switzer, Osborne, Parcels, Meyer, Swinney, Saban, Harbaugh, Briles, Bowden, Belichek, Carrol, Tressel etc.  Of course some of the great coaches had several years of OC or DC experience, but by no means would i consider success as an OC or DC a prerequisite for success as a head coach.  That's the only argument that i was/am trying to make.

It's coaching football, not brain surgery, so the keys to success are similar to what they are for most professions.

I'm not sure how you can measure the vague leadership qualities you listed other than looking at a guy's prior leadership positions and determining the success he's had in those roles.  I think it's hard to judge Sean in that respect because his leadership roles to this point have asked relatively little of him.

I honestly think that the most important part of being a college coach is managing the recruiting/building/maintenance of a roster.

I'm not measuring fitness SIMPLY based on job titles.  I'm measuring fitness based on previous experience and results.  I'm not saying "hire tibesar because he was a d-coordinator once."  I'm saying "don't hire sean because i don't see how he's worthy of the job based on his resume."  I've never been one to cry about perceived nepotism or any of that.  I don't care about Sean's last name one way or the other.  I just don't see what he's done to warrant hiring him to take over what I believe is a top 35 CFB program.

I'm not sure how you can measure the vague leadership qualities you listed other than looking at a guy's prior leadership positions and determining the success he's had in those roles.  I think it's hard to judge Sean in that respect because his leadership roles to this point have asked relatively little of him.

I can't speak for MIR but my point has never been "Sean is the guy".  My point is that the arguments made against him seem ridiculous and concocted to fit an agenda.

Exactly. I have no idea whether or not the man will be a good head coach or not, neither does anyone else despite how many times they'll tell you otherwise.
Well hell, I have no idea whether or not Sean, or Klein, or you, or me or anyone will be a head coach.  But I based on our relative lack of experience I can make as solid a prediction as can be made.

You use all of these words talking about experience but if it's pointed out that he's worked with a hall of fame coach for 25 years, that wouldn't end the conversation.

You're right, I'm sure he learned nothing about being a head coach working with and talking to a head coach every day for the 17 years before that. Sean, Sharon, and Shorty peas in a pod.

It's beyond nepotism, really. Given the amount of money involved in a head coaching salary, it is a MAJOR cash grab.

Like it's one thing to talk to dad about how he relates to teenagers and convinces him to come to play football for him, it's another thing to do it.

I think KSU is a good enough job that we don't have to settle for hiring someone from within. 

Is there a chance that Sean can be an even better coach than his father? Sure, anything can happen. A walk on can make the NFL hall of fame too, but I wouldn't stop trying to recruit 5 stars.

I don’t want Sean as the next HC personally, but I acknowledge that he could turn out to be successful here.

Keep in mind there are some people on this board who still bag on Winston Dimel even though he’s got to be the best all around FB we’ve had under Snyder 2.0.
Braden Wilson would have had 75 TDs if his dad had been OC. Dimel is probably #2 though.

Scott Satterfield

Derek Mason
Blake Anderson

Lane is an exception to my never fired rule, he was 28-15 at USC.

Agree on Lane, I think he got mumped by USC - he would have owned without the sanctions.

Don’t want Derek Mason. Don’t want Sean

Bill isn’t retiring this year which I’m fine with because I’d like to see Fritz’s next year at Tulane.

Otherwise our lists have a lot of similar names. Mike Norvell is on my list. Chad Morris is in my Willie Fritz category.

His offense the last few years at LSU was stagnant and predictable AF. Very Snydz 2016-17-ish. At least that’s the perception in Tigerland. He really was very boring and there is zero chance he has learned new tricks.

Same old kstate loser mentality.  Here's my non-loser mentality list:

Saban
Meyer
Belichek
Chip Kelly (we should at least CALL him)
Bob Stoops
Swinney
Carrol
Fisher (although i'm not happy with this seasons performance so he's at the bottom...probably should have been fired by FSU if he didn't jump)

We should also spend the bulk of our time recruiting 5 star players (based on Rivals rankings, NOT 247).  We are KSTATE!  So sick of the inferiority complex of our coaching staff and most of our fans.  We have nice facilities!

Agreed. I’m not so sure about Meyer though. He’d have to win at least one playoff game this year to convince me he hasn’t lost a step.

Sorry, I’m not interested in whatever the equivalent is of a 5 heart for coach. I will be very disappointed if we don’t go after the best.
