much better than a year ago when we were consensus #6.

Hope those blowhards aren't as "off" as they normally are.
MUST...DESTROY... :ku:

I havnen't been paying attention to south teams we don't play this year. What's so &@#%ing great about TAMU and who gave them a 1st place vote?
-
Isn't that the type of progress we're looking for out of Prince??? I mean #6-#3 is a big jump in just one year, but you have to add in how horrible ISU & CU is. ku is obviously not good, but when you talk about ISU & CU as of right now you mention them with the bottom three teams in the Big XII. And which their records & talent level on their teams last year were a big drop off from 2005.
With ku basically going knowhere with Mangino in his 6th year as head coach and basically seeing no improvement coming from ISU & CU, this is probably one the biggest down years in the Big XII North, maybe even worse than 2004 & 2005.
Most of us would've been very happy if you told us last summer that we would jump 3 spots in the pre-season north poll in Prince's first year, but with the last two games last year vs. ku & Rutgers, that were total meltdowns, we dont really know what to think now.
But as of right now with a three spot jump in the pre-season north rankings from last summer, that's the type of progress that you want to see out of Prince, no matter the circumstances.
-
I think the media see's us a the best of the bottom four rather than the bottom of the Top 3. The only two names that have been put in the North Champ slot is Missouri and Nebraska.
Prince surprised a lot of people last year. Will he surprise the pollsters this year and put KSU into the Big 12 Championship. If that happens, I would expect a lot of the Prince haters to go into hiding.

IMO, to go suicidal. You know that there were a ton of cat fans that didn't want to see Prince succeed from the minute that he was hired.....

You must be crazy. This is horrible news.
Last year we finished #2 in the North, so they're predicting us to do worse this year than we did last year.

Why does missouri always get so much love in the offseason?
-
Because they should be good.
That university is friggin cursed. They have no excuse for their decades of suckin.

Maybe. I'm hoping for a 5-3 finish that leaves us in sole 2nd place.

MU always gets more love in the offseason because Pinkel can recruit. They continue to bring in talent that should have them winning the north. Fortunately, he can't coach. Now, that didn't stop Mack Brown from winning it all when he finally just had too much talent for him to squelch (including the uber-talented Vince Young). That talent just carried him to the title. Everyone keeps thinking that Pinkel will accumulate enough talent that eventually they'll win the north despite his coaching ability.

Mack Brown out-coached Snyder in 02 and 03.
Mack Brown took a 4-7 Texas team in 1997 and turned them into a 9-3 cotton bowl champs in his 1st year.
You suck.

People who claim Mack Brown is anything but a great coach = Powertard

That's just bunk. Look at who has been drafted from MU. Pinkel hasn't been bringing in the talent, he's been bringing in over rated talent.

QFT Bill Callahan is a great recruiter but can't coach his way out of a wet paper bag. That was enough to get them to the Cotten Bowl.

Every KSU fan wants Prince to succeed.
Many of them don't think he will, or will give him the chance. Hell, we have people on here who hate him because their cute question was cutoff from an archive radio broadcast.
Let's face it. There is very little love of Prince from a large contingent of fans. If he succeeds, they'll be the first on the bandwagon saying "I knew he was good!", but if he doesn't do as well, they'll be the first to say "See! I told you so!"
I'll reserve judgment for the first three years to see what happens. From my standpoint, he improved a team in his first year. That says he's a good coach. He'll need the next few years to build a successful program. That will tell us if he's the right coach for KSU in the long run.
-
I agree that you need to give Princie at least 3 years before you give him a thumbs up or down. The Booby Scoop of OU is a rare case of a coach during so well in a short period of time.
This way I have at least 3 more years to make Prince jokes!!! :thumbsup:
-
Don't worry; Even if we all hate him; it would take KSU a couple years to fire him. Not everyone is like Nebraska where they fire a coach because the fan base has a feeling that their 10-2 team is heading in the wrong direction.

my grandma could recruit to texas. however mack brown was a good recruiter while he was at unc too. he still cant coach. neither can rick barnes for that matter.

Well, then he's an awesome coach. Didn't he win their first NC in 30+(?) years?
You can't have it both ways.

Would Vince Young commit to a perennial 4-7/5-6/6-5 Jon Mackovic program?
-
Does the hypothetical game mean you have a valid point or something? It doesn't and it would all be speculation. No one is questioning Mack Brown's ability to recruit, but his coaching does seem to have issues.
BTW: Worked for Ricky Williams.

how does that make him an awesome coach? he can recruit. hes very good at part of his job but sucks hard at the other part. and for what its worth vince young won that title the only thing mack brown had to do with it was recruiting him.

Winning National Titles and 80% of your games make you an awesome coach, no matter how you do it. Believe it or not, recruiting is a fairly important part of coaching.
p.s.
Since 1950 at Texas:
Coach Yrs Record W%
Mack Brown 9 93-22 .809
Darrell Royal 20 167-47-5 .774
Fred Akers 10 86-31-2 .731
John Mackovic 6 41-28-2 .592
Edwin Booth Price 6 33-27-1 .549
David McWilliams 5 31-26 .544
If you want an example of a guy that could recruit and not coach, look no further than Ron Zook. Mack Brown is a horrible example.

What's wrong with being such an incredible recruiter that you win a national title? John Blake, who by all accounts (except NU fans after he left) is an outstanding recruiter, but couldn't accomplish anything at OU.

John was a great recruiter but I think he has lost his touch or just may have been the case where he was brought in to be the final closer.
-
This shouldn't come by a surprise. Everyone has had us at three. I was surprised to see that Missouri is number 1. I expected them to pick Nebraska. What is interesting is that by doing the math that all the number 1 and 2 votes when to Missouri and Nebraska.
We have 16 3rd place votes and 8 fourth place votes, and have as much as a nod a 3rd as Missouri does 1st.
ku is barely 4th. lol

Describe "good game coach" and give examples. He got talented players and put them in a position to win. What more is a coach supposed to do?

I don't think you should ever separate the two when comparing college coaches. It's a pretty worthless discussion, even for message boards.

BTW, I'd take Mack Brown over Bill Snyder (post 2000) to be my gameday coach.

its not worthless on gameday. for what its worth i dont think pete carroll is a good coach either. your right about recruiting being the most important part of college football but in my opinion coaching is not the same as recruiting.

What about UT's gameplan was bad? They put up 42 points. No one could have predicted that the Freeman-Figurs combo would torch them so bad. It was just talent vs. a sub-par UT secondary (for UT).

Um, yeah it is. They're completely intertwined.
I can't believe I'm arguing with someone who honestly believes 2 of the last 3 NC coaches are bad coaches.

You can't be serious. It was an upset, not an indicator of each's ability to coach. So Bob Pruett > Bill Snyder? The UT game should never be used as an example of anything except what an upset in college football looks like.

look at pete carrolls record in the nfl. why do you think bob stoops kicks mack browns ass most every year? they can recruit but they suck at the x's and o's. like you said it doesnt take good coaching to be a successful coach in college football.
-
You can't just look at the commitment list from Texas and decide since a team has a ton of 5 stars, they should win the national championship every year. Usually the same people who chirp about how "STAR'S DON'T MATTER/DARREN SPROLES/TERENCE NEWMAN/OMG" are the first to line up and say Mack Brown sucks because he can't win the NC every year with a bunch of 5 stars (hypocritical).

Mack is 3-5 against Stoops (excellent recruiter, BTW). Bill Snyder is 1-5.
If good coaching isn't important, why are you worried about who's the better "gameday coach"?

I'd also like to add the only way fans can evaluate "talent" is by looking at STARS, offer lists, and video clips of .005% of a players career.

it is important for that game. which is why mack brown needed a guy like vince young to win the big one.

not real sure where this came from but stars do matter which completely supports my argument. and the reason texas wont win the national championship every year is because mack brown sucks as a coach.

i dont know. but josh heupel is no vince young. with that team it was really more of the system than the player which is why stoops is a great coach.

If Urban Meyer doesn't win the NC every year, he will be a crappy coach too. After all, he is at Florida.

im not saying stoops would win it every year at texas. there are plenty of other good coaches or at least good recruiters out there. i responded to a stupid question with a stupid answer. nobody wins the big one every year.

thank you for making my point for me. he is a good coach as well. florida is going to be back to the days of spurrier with him there.

He couldn't win a NC with a Heisman winner at QB and a Heisman finalist at running back. WTF?

way to completely leave out the first part of that quote so that you can try and make your point.
nobody is going to win it all every year but consistently falling short of expectations except for one year is not something a good coach should do.
-
FYI: Before 2000 Texas had 4 seasons of 11 wins.
Before 2000 Texas hadn't finished in the top 10 since....1983.

No, he's not a good coach, it's just that he's in Florida, right?
-
I missed a lot of this discussion, but you can't really say "Texas sucks because they usually don't do much with 5 star talent" because really, a lot of other teams get that type of talent too.
-
The knock on Mack Brown WAS always, he can recruit, but he can't beat Oklahoma, and he hasn't won a championship. Well, he has now proven he can (and has) done both, so I'd say it's fair to put him in the "he can coach AND recruit" group now. Callahan, however, will remain in the "he can recruit, but he can't coach his way out of a paper bag" group until furthur notice.

When UT hired Mack Brown away from UNC, everybody knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that UT was going to be a top 10 team. Mack Brown didn't start to "suck" until he went to Texas and UT only became the top team in the conference by a small margin, rather than a huge margin. People's expectations of UT and how easy it is there are silly. If Brown wanted to come to K-State, I'd help pack Prince's bags.

In all this discussion of underachieving coaches, I think we're missing the most important thing here:
What's the reaction of Hoax and DocHolliday to their savior in what, his sixth (?) year, getting picked behind KSU's second-year man?
I mean, no doubt Mangino's got the program headed in the right direction...from 6th place to 4th in the North in only six years. At this pace, their sights should be firmly set on 2nd place by 2013!

Isn't that the million (and a half) dollar question?

Mack Brown out-coached Snyder in 02 and 03.
Mack Brown took a 4-7 Texas team in 1997 and turned them into a 9-3 cotton bowl champs in his 1st year.
You suck.
Fatty nailed this one. The ride back from Austin will be a long one.

Mac on Mack:
Coach Mack Brown has done a superb job of recruiting since he became head coach at Texas; however, his coaching on Saturdays leaves something to be desired.
