the OP is poorly articulated, but the sentiment isn't entirely terrible. i find myself becoming increasingly turned off by college sports because of idiot fans with unrealistic expectations - not just at k-state, but at basically every school everywhere. the notion that you can win every season, consistently, despite moving parts (players and coaching staff), despite variance, etc., is fairytale stuff...unless you're duke or kentucky or kansas. even then, you'll get some resistance from overachieving virginia, florida, etc., every now and then.
the oscar weber era will play out predictably. after this year's debacle is finished, the previous two very good seasons will be forgotten, and weber will open next year firmly on the hot seat. k-state will not be a great team. it will merely be a good team. but unfortunately, other schools in the big 12 are also good while some are great. k-state's good team won't be able to measure up against kansas. it won't be as good as texas. it won't be as good as iowa state. it won't be as good as west virginia. it likely won't be as good as baylor. or oklahoma. or...wow...is it setting in yet? this is a very competitive league! k-state could conceivably be better next year than this year and end up with a worse record in league. regardless, it won't be good enough, it will fall shy of expectations, fans will stop showing up for non-KU or non-Big Monday games...and attendance will steadily drop...fire weber campaigns will rise...recruits will go elsewhere...and then k-state is left to hire the next savior coach.
the next savior coach will come in. maybe it's underwood. maybe it's kelvin sampson. maybe it's gottlieb. i doubt it, but maybe. there will be lots of excitement, there will be a rise in fan interest, a few good recruits will sign. and then...the k-state fan base will expect a return to the year-to-year consistency that frank martin had. the new coach might very well put together a nice team. but will it be good enough? it very likely won't be. why? because ku remains better than k-state. texas, after a few down years, will likely be better than k-state. iowa state, so long as hoiberg is there, will likely be better than k-state. wvu under bob huggins is likely to put together better teams that are better coached. baylor's program (seven of the last eight years top ~30 in KenPom) has passed k-state. the oklahoma schools in theory should get better talent than k-state. i mean, k-state is bottom five rather than top five in this league going forward...it's clear to me. it's not clear to the fan base, at least not yet.
the 2013-14 team went 10-8 in league...4-0 against tcu and texas tech, 6-8 against everyone else. in future seasons, 2-2 is probably the most likely outcome (3-1 at best) against those teams (tcu and TT are improving). the previous year, k-state was a "good" team in a bad league. the big 12 was down across the board and was rated below the mountain west.
frank martin's tenure, let's be honest...he benefited from beating up on nebraska, iowa state, texas tech and colorado. all four schools were consistently down during his tenure, and he went 24-7 against those teams during their doldrum seasons. against the rest of the Big 12, he was 26-25. which is good! but it's average. and k-state going forward will be average. some years, tourney. some years, not. up and down, ebbs and flows.
i'm not defending oscar...not at all...but i have a feeling k-state fans are going to run out every new coach that can't live up to the impossibly high, unrealistic standards that this fan base now has as a result of a nice run (largely under frank) against what was previously a watered-down league.
