Anyone know when we may start to consider a Prince contract extension/raise? May want to build in a gazzillion dollar buyout while we're at it since he already said he isn't going anywhere. Not that I don't believe him, just, I don't really believe him.

well, if we were ku, we'd wait until he's going into his fourth losing season of football and then double his salary and make him one of the highest paid coaches in the B12. at this point Ron Prince would pretty much have to regress and forfeit any/all road wins, both Top 10's, and box/ship Freeman to Nebraska to earn an extension/raise.

Beat ku first...then we can talk....not before, IMO.

At this rate he'll never get one :frown: LOL

Don't talk to me about the non-relevant hiccups (see UF vs. Auburn) that've taken place the last two years in Lawrence.

ku should never be our measuring stick.
We could lose to them every year as long as we're consistently competing for north titles, IMO.
-
Give him what $$$ he wants and tell him that he can use ku game as another bye week - historically, it already is! You should march Fat Fatty Fat out there as qb with Chupa as the single set I-Back and let 'er rip!

With no disrespect, your opinion sucks.
ku should never be our equal. They should be an afterthought, or as in Snyder's halcyon days; a glorified scrimmage that saves wear and tear on the scout team. That is their rightful place in this conference. Our position it to consistently be one of the two best teams in the north and be competitve with the souths finest.
-
Granted we are only four games in but if we keep playing like we are then Weiser should and probably will consider a pay increase. However if we do keep playing like we are I assume that some performance bonuses would kick in. For example finishing in top 3 in Big 12, bowl game, bowl game victory, power towel rotations per capita, would all be paid out to Ron.
-
We need to tie him up and fast. If we have a good season, look for some big programs to come after him.
MICHIGAN
People tell me Lloyd Carr will make the call on when he leaves Michigan. I don't dispute that. But I still think this is his final run.
Everyone assumes LSU's Les Miles would be the frontrunner. But don't be shocked if the Wolverines make a run at Cal's Jeff Tedford if the job goes outside the Michigan family. And Kansas State's Ron Prince could be a name to watch if he has a very good season.

If we're competing for North titles, losing to ku is irrelevant. If we aren't competing for North titles, beating ku is irrelevant. The quality of ku football means little to me. I have no problem with being one of the top two in the north along with us.

Ron is home, he is staying here. We shouldn't have to worry about him leaving and give him money to stay we should give him money because he's performing.

For a man who's mantra is integrity, leaving for Michigan and the money would be a hard sell. But I do think he could remain a man of principal and go back to Virginia. Our saving grace might be that the Cavs will fire Groh and Prince might see it as a betrayal.
If he gets the recruits this year, (unlike Huggins) I see him staying for some time.
-
Al Groh is 4-1.
-
Are you serious? Are we really talking about this after one full season and 4 games?
Unbelievable!

A successful coach is very desirable, but a successful black coach is irresistible. Every coaching search is heavily scrutinized for fairness, as it should be. And lets face it, it was very good for KSU to hire Ron Prince. Sad but true.

Not really. Somebody, might've been 'hatter, compiled some numbers on 1st year D-I coaches and their subsequent records. Seems like the average number of wins in year 1 was something like 3 but the killer trend was that improvement, if it's going to happen at all, almost always started in the first year or two. Almost no one started slowly then turned it around 4-5-6 years down the line. Even though Prince is only 17 games into his KSU tenure the direction in which the program is moving is already very apparent.

Maybe now is the time to see if there is any sort of buyout attached. If he honestly doesn't want to ever leave he should have no problems with us putting about a gazzilion dollar buyout on the contract and helping him avoid the potential suiters.

While that's a lovely thought... ku is in the Big12 and in the North. So it seems we have to play them every year. So wouldn't it help to beat them? If we are tied with Nebraska at the end of the year and lost to ku and in Lincoln, wouldn't you be pissed we lost to Fat Bastard?

No more than I would if we lost to Gene Chizik or Dan Hawkins.

Neither of those guys puts valleys in our astro turf though.

So is SI.com. I'm too lazy to find the link, but it talked about "bigger" schools offering is he had a good season.

Wow, you've just pulled a complete 180 on your opinion of the future of this program, huh?

No, just on my opinion of what they migh accomplish this season. I've never said Prince would fail miserably at KSU nor have I said he couldn't hope to get it done, I just didn't expect a great season this time out given the turmoil the program experienced in the off season.
