ron zook

This one jumps out at me.

That is good, but more like a Jim Woolridge hire because of the current NFL gig.  Also the rumor would inevitably start with thinking that we were getting Mike Macarthy for some reason.

To me the key aspects of a comparison are

-on the hot seat at current school or recently was
-mediocre record with some past success
-currently at a school with worse program than Kstate, but still power 5
-retread city, no enthusiasm generated
-Kstate coaching tree through someone who doesn't care about Kstate
-inherited some success and promptly started a long nose dive

We need someone who's mentor used to play at K-State, but that person gives zero shits about K-State and is incredible ugly/bad hair.  Gary Patterson have anyone like that under his tree?  Obviously Fuentes doesn't count.

The answer to this is Mark Stoops

may I please submit Kevin Wilson for consideration.

lacks any real success, but hits most all of the other points.  also part of the Stoops tree which makes him close to a Keady-like protégé, which I think has to be considered a big factor.

Jim Grobe
John L Smith

No.  John L Smith has too much scandal and Grobe is performing well.

It's cheaper to pay the one man rather than all of us.

Ok thank you.  I would like to remove Kevin Wilson from consideration as well as Bob Davie.

Dan McCarney

not a perfect fit, but was under the Fry tree.  Ended up getting canned in 2015 by UNT, so not power 5.  This task is becoming hard, yet fun, yet depressing.

The thing that was a big selling point for a lot of folks with oscar is he got as close to a national title as you can without winning it before starting his slide. Makes guys like Tuberville, Chizik, and Mahlzahn (if he got fired) top similarities. All Auburn guys! Also the Oregon coach.

Les Miles and Mark Richt would be similar, but got fired from clearly better programs unlike oscar.

true, but we heard how big dumbass Keady was involved in the deal.  we probably won't find a perfect candidate, but again, depressingly fun!
