i'm not exactly sure about something i don't know anything about

I mean, he's got experience. But who had he hired? Done some nice things facilities wise at TT. At least AFAIK. Currie was good at that. We need someone that can identify coaching talent. Shitty lame duck basketball coach. Aging sick football coach. Educate me why Hocutt is the answer.

The only thing I've seen lately is a person on one of the facebook groups saying we were looking at the Toledo AD. I don't believe I saw it referenced here though.

Hocutt means Venzy. Mark it down, dude.

Maybe, but maybe Venzy doesn't wanna be a head coach?

I'm still not exactly sure what's so great about Hocutt. Not saying he sucks, but nothing wows me from the (admittedly) little I know about him.

He's a CFP committee member. That's pretty neat.

Sounding more and more like people want him because he has experience and is part of the #family. I'm sure he'd be fine, though.

I do not want anyone who worked in athletic department when Frank was run off. They could have done more, and they didn't.

You think anything's really gonna change when the people that chose or settled for schulz, currie and myers are the ones picking the new ad?

Did Hocutt hire Larranaga? (instead of Frank . . . ) I can't remember if he had already gone to TTU yet.

Hocutt was already gone.

At Tech he hired Kliff for football and Gillispie, Tubby, and Beard for basketball.

At Miami he hired Golden for football.

Yuck! Do not want Holcutt.

KITNfury · « **Reply #315 on:** March 25, 2017, 07:15:13 PM »

I'll give him a pass on Golden.

No Veatch and no Weiburg unless they publicly denounce Currie. We simply cannot risk it otherwise.

Skipper44 · « **Reply #317 on:** March 26, 2017, 05:36:49 PM »

bitb said Bill likes Weiberg and that is good enough for me, if true

Didn't Weiberg leave because of Currie? That would be louder than words.

That would be ideal. Combine that with Bill liking Weiburg, and we clearly have a winner.

Kirby Hocutt maybe?

I don't know if it was just Currie, but I doubt K-State can afford Kirby Hocutt.

First off, we could absolutely afford Hocutt. WTF is it gonna take to get people to quit acting like we're poor?

But there's no way IMO that he's worth that. Tech is over paying.

Literally lol'd that tech pays him that much. Way to go kirby

KITNfury · « **Reply #323 on:** March 27, 2017, 05:46:36 PM »

Yea, "can't afford" is the absolute wrong term to use here. The Ath Dept could easily spend enough to match our exceed Tech, but can we get someone as good for the same or less? I think so, but nothing I've read our heard has me particularly impressed with him

Did you read that thing about him and Venzy being best buds and stuff?
