Resounding Yes for me.
-
Compared to December 5? Yes.
Compared to mid-January?
No.
Remember how everyone said he would be a complete flop or an incredible success? I always thought could be real mediocre (after the initial shock wore off).
Also, remember when that teenage scout employee scooped Fitz with the news in the infamous "Snyder is pissed!" post?
Lol's.
-
Im not as surprised as the Phognetters, but pleasantly surprised.

Yeah. I think Fitz/Fritch n crew were tied up at a wbb game at the moment.

They still analyze every quote of his hoping to find disaster just around the corner. I admire their sticktoitiveness.

There is much more in depth K-State football analysis on phog.net than there is here or anywhere else on the net for that matter. They really care. It's quite touching. Of course, most of them were probably KSU FB / ku BB fans during the Snyder years.

You need a "pretty much what I figured" vote. He has neither exceeded nor failed to live up to my expectations as a whole.

Yes, last year was definitely a shock to them. (in a bad way) They really thought we were going to go 4-8.
At least they are now boasting their own team, rather than tearing down EMAW. (to an extent at least)

I love that word.
And to answer the poll question, yes very surprised. I remember hearing the news on the radio and talking to my dad about it. we both agreed that another 4 or 5 win season, even with the extra game would be great for 2006. And that even though we really already had, not to pass judgement until atleast three seasons into his tenure.
I :love: Prince!

There's a lot to boast about. It's not easy to identify and schedule the 4 worst non-conference opponents in the history of modern college football. My hat is off the the fat man. He will live on Lake Alvamar Drive for a long, long time scheduling that way. As long as he wins 6 or 7 a year, he can write his own ticket in L-town.

Did you have a few lol's at the KK interview thread? They were pretty much convinced Prince doesn't consider offense or defense important.
I should add that Prince-UVA video helped ease my fears.

I was only calmed down when hatter' started to come around.
But at the time, total WTF?!?!
-
December 2005 - Expecting about the same as the last few Snyder years, no real improvement.
January/Febuary 06 - Expecting 7 to 8 wins
Summer 06 - Expecting 4 - 5 wins
After Illinois State game - Expected 2 wins
So, yes, he surprised me.

7-6 in first year, off-season BS = disaster
6-6 in 5th year = solid improvement

Hatter is def. a voice of reason.

I am utterly shocked

Honestly, I wouldn't call 6-6 for ku a total disaster any year. If they are happy with 6-7 wins every 2-3 years, that's fine. I think the rest of the north will pass by them though.

I don't know what I think of Prince. While I do appreciate a 7 win season to start, the DOD in me just doesn't think he can get the job done. I think we'll stay competitive, but I won't hold my breath for another DOD...or even a YOD.

The DOD will never leave us. I don't know how we will cope with it, but we must.

If Ron and Co. continue to do what they've done in developing "lesser" recruits into studs and having excellent scouting skills, The dominance will return.
:hornsdown
-
Ron will do okay, 7 or 8 wins a year usually. He'll lose 2 or 3 a year, and at least 1 because he's spent more time coming up with some kind of marching, dancing, singing Bull$hit, than getting the team ready to play.

Dude are you serious?
Could go either way with this.

Initial Reaction: who the hell is this guy?
After researching Prince: who the hell is this guy and why did we offer an OC that has presided over a relatively average offense at UVA. BV is more qualified.
After Prince got Freeman: Elated. I was hoping he'd be able to recruit over his head to make up for his lack of experience.
After the Baylor game: I thought we wouldn't win another game the rest of the season.
After the end of the season: happy, but the last two games were complete disappointments and soured me.
Now: Overall, yes, I'm surprised he isn't a disaster, but in some way (unrealistic as it might have been/is) I expected him not to be, even though he's inexperienced and has had to deal with crappy players.

"OK gentlemen, I know we play Oklahoma tomorrow, but we have something a little different planned for practice today. I want to do something special as we enter the stadium. Something that will really wow 'em. You've all seen Hairspray, right..."
-
Well, the man has inadvertently brought me lots of laughter at the phoggites truly, earnestly, forcefully believing they know more about football than Prince.
-
In my sticktoitevness, I will wait until after year three.

I really don't think that is a problem. Yeah, they give the guys a few more freedoms and he plays the PR game, but from what I've seen he and his coaches work pretty darn hard at football; much more so than the extra stuff. This really isn't a whole lot different than most other programs IMO, especially with younger coaches.
At the end of the day Prince's ability to bring in recruits, continue to learn as a head coach, attract quality assistants, and develop sound schemes will make or break him. I think he's off to a pretty decent start, probably about what I expected when I learned about him, and I must say that I think he's done a good job adjusting to his first coaching turnover from last year.

I'd like to believe that the DOD will always be around, in our hearts and minds, but everyday it seems like a little piece of the DOD inside me dies, and it takes a piece of my soul with it. Sometimes I wonder if the DOD was even worth all of this pain. I mean, maybe our lives would be easier if the DOD never existed at all. :'(

I'm just glad to say I spent my KSU years during the DOD. 98 was a hell of a year to graduate.
-
Exceed by a lot :love:
-
Are you suggesting he isn't a disaster?
Prince :yuck: :yuck: :yuck:
JK! :ksu: :ksu: :ksu: :ksu: :ksu:

I saw 2 home losses as a student: '96 NU, '00 OU...since '04 we've lost 2 home games every year. :crybaby:
Hopefuly not this year though. :hope:

If we lose two at home this year we don't go bowling.

I thought it was a terrible hire at the time. Now I think just the opposite I believe it was a very good hire and he's the most talented coach in the North. I didn't say best coach because he needs some seasoning but from sheer talent I think he's easily got the most potential. NU and ku fans know this too and that is why they are obsessed with everything the guy does. He scares the crap out of them because he's ballsy and he's unorthodox and that is exactly what you need to be to win at K-State.
-
When we hired him, I was like WTF who is he, but now I think he will be just fine.

If your talking about ku, wouldn't that mean that they would have had to pass anyone in the North?
