Leavitt is going to get paid what he is offered if he gets another HC job.  KSU won't want to be seen as cheap and will pay him just fine but he was never going to milk Currie with or without the clause in his contract.

I think it's likely that Bill and John have fought about this for a while, and Leavitt is the only common ground.

Bill wants someone that will keep his staff, coaching AND administrative. At this point, I firmly believe he's hanging on to keep his KSU family employed. He's the tent pole that keeps them getting paid by KSU and in Manhattan. Also, Leavitt would let him keep an office in Vanier and have influence.

I'm with _FAN that a handful of guys are gone when Snyder leaves. But I think a few could come back. Joe Bob, Klein, etc.

I think you could convince Dimel to stay if he got an AHC title and a raise to the 600-700k range.

I'm 100% Venzy, but Jim is the best chance we have to resemble an internal transition. The only major difference would be a change of defensive style. But I think that would be a positive change.

Also, Leavitt would have Snyder's blessing, and the major donors would be appeased. Donations to complete BSFS wouldn't cease.

With Sean, I think pocketbooks would tighten for a while.

If Sean wins early the pocketbooks would explode open bc "holy crap we have Bill Jr and we will continue being a big 12 contender forevers!"

Sean being a great HC would be awesome.

Does a JL HC keep Sean on staff?  I think that would tell a lot if compromises were made.

If he wants to, Sean will be on the next staff regardless of whose it is

I think a new coach would strongly consider keeping him regardless of any deal.

I wish Sean would cut the apron strings and take a D2 or lower D1 head coaching job and see if he can do it.

Guys, Venzy is perfect.

It moves when I think about him coaching our cats. The recruiting possibilities, how he looks/acts like hot sex on the sidelines, his staff. He can have my wife if that would seal the deal.

Thinking back to how we were to good for Eddie Sutton....

yeah
Leavitt is much closer to oscar than Eddie Sutton, my word.

I thought he was talking about the transition to Sutton jr and Snyder jr

I wonder what his pay is?  I bet it's the highest assistant coach pay on HCBS staff.

The more I think about it, the more I think JC is in on this.  JL meets the successful coach who was fired and could come back here with a recommendation from a former football legend HCBS.  Isn't this how we got Oscar?

in fact, i'm confident that multiple blue bloods will be reaching out to Sean the minute Bill announces his retirement.

So has it been decided that he is no longer a candidate for KSU head coach?

Dimel, Miller, Hayes, and Dickey all make more.
