How does that have anything to do with Coach Prince's ability to coach?????  I can't believe you actually took the time to look all the crap up!   :ku:  If Prince goes 9-4 this year then he should be the NCOY with our brutal schedule!

I really hope that Ron Prince is the second coming of Bronco Mendenhall.  Hal Mumme or Frank Solich would also be acceptable.

I hope he doesn't disappoint us with a Steve Spurrier, Urban Meyer, or Charlie Weiss-type improvement.

If you are refering to the Baylor game, then yes, I do remember that.  Ron needs to beat ku, AND win at least as many games as last year.  Ron gets NO pass for his scheduling. Good luck Ron.   :blindfold:

8-5 would be fantastic.

I'd be happy with 7-6 again.  Perfectly reasonable with our ridiculously tough schedule.
Title: Re: Coach Ron's Honeymoon
Post by: chum1 on June 28, 2007, 11:09:45 AM
According to the above, 8-5 would be average.  Is Coach Ron like the dumb kid in class who gets a "C" and is thought to be doing well?  (I would totally accept that explanation.)

If he loses to ku at home and still goes 8-5, right or wrong, people will be upset.  And quite honestly, the only difference b/t 8-5 and 7-6 last year is that we faced a top 20 team in our bowl instead of some scrub team.  We have almost the same schedule as last year, only this year we'll have an experienced QB.

True, but he's got a schedule that also screams at least 6 wins.

this season is SHOULD be pretty easy to predict. 6 wins is the min, 8 wins is the max.
Title: Re: Coach Ron's Honeymoon
Post by: KSU4ME on June 28, 2007, 11:13:20 AM
A bowl game gets him a pass on the season, and winning the bowl game would make it a good year.

Of course if we win 10 games this year, he should be fired.  The secret to success is losing 5 games a year.

SJSU is no pushover.  Better than Marshall last season, IMO.  1-3 in OOC isn't out of the question.  It's just flat-out tough.

Yeah, 2001, what a great season that was.

So lets review, over the course of his last 5 seasons Bill Snyder went 48-28 (.631)

From 1995-2000 Snyder Went 63-12 (.840)

In his last five season, he lost 16 more games, than he did from '95 to '00.

As I've irrefutably proven, 9-4 would be a "B" at best since 8-5 is average.  Are you going with the dumb kid in class explanation?

No.  Spurrier and Weiss both played one more OOC cupcake game with the longer schedules and they won that one game.  Otherwise they were the same as the year before.

Snyder's second year was also better than his first.  Another good example.

No.  Spurrier and Weiss both played one more OOC cupcake game with the longer schedules and they won that one game.  Otherwise they were the same as the year before.

The new coaches of the cupcakes improved as well.  (And there are no cupcakes for cupcakes.)

Wins don't help recruiting.

Explaining why Frank Delarue doesn't deserve a scholarship is the key to recruiting classes.

Bob Stoops knows this.  He sent Butler a detailed Powerpoint that included a link to a YouTube breaking down why Delarue wasn't offered.

Well, you could explain it by pointing out that Coach Ron was better in his first year than the other coaches were in theirs - that he doesn't really need to improve as much in his second year as they did in theirs.  You could then hope that Coach Ron's first two years combined are better than average.  Otherwise, we're definitely looking at a six win season this year.

Hot Ron hand picked that schedule.  If they win less than 7 games Ron should be put on double secret probation.  He gets NO passes for the schedule that HE put together.  Bowl games don't look at your strength of schedule.

The moral of the story is that expectations for Coach Ron are uncharacteristically low.  Just how much longer will KSU fans regard Snyder as a deity, anyway?

I disagree.  It seems like people are ready to throw Ron under the bus if he can't win 8-9 games this year, or land 4 and 5* recruits.

Six or seven wins in 2007 means that he's an average or slightly better than average coach in his first two years.

Progress should not be measured by wins/losses it should be measured by how you "feel" about the team's progress.

That is such BS.  The expectations for Coach Ron are ridiculously high.  The expectations for Mark Mangino are uncharacteristically low.

And by the way, Bill Snyder is a deity and what does that have to do with Ron Prince's improvement this year?
