Let's see...Clemson's pros
Clemson's last four recruiting classes ranged from 12-17.....KSU's roster is an unmitigated mess [Freeman being the exception]
Clemson plays in a less challenging BCS conference than KSU....yet gets more media coverage due to location.
Clemson has a stadium of 84,000 which has been sold out for years and football facilities commensurate with that.
Clemson is surrounded by millions of people, approximately 50% African American....top quality HS football.
Clemson is scenically located in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains, yet less than two hours from gorgeous beaches.
South Carolina is golf heaven....almost year round.
Clemson could offer whatever it would take.
KSU pros
GP is a KSU alum.
Sounds like a tough decision.

Actually it isn't a tough decision when you consider that, when it comes to the KSU job, there IS NO KSU job!
:ugh:

Quit delaying and just take Ronald already. Mangino too while you're at it.

Makes sense.... especially since the current staff isn't working.
:lol:

Do you have a press release to share?

Nope.
Just patiently waiting for our joke of a coaching staff to dig their own graves over the course of the rest of the season, so a real staff can come in and begin the rebuilding process.
Meanwhile, you can "keep playing peaceful music in the band that sinks with the Titanic."

Remember when you got all upset about people calling for Wooly's head?
This will end the same. Might as well accept it and avoid the meltdown this go round.

Too late. Mangino has already announced he is not considering the job.

Clemson:
123 miles from Downtown Atlanta
131 miles from Columbia South Carolina
132 miles from Charlotte, North Carolina
4 hours from Charleston, SC
All great weekend destinations for College kids. Plus Athens is just down the road as well.
On the shores of Lake Hartwell, with 2 other beautiful lakes within an hour.
"In the middle of Nowhere" doesn't have the same meaning when the Carolina's has 15 million people, and you're 2 hours from 2 metroplexes; 1 with 5.5 million people, and the other with 1.8 million people.

Hell Greenville, SC is 30 minutes from Clemson, and that's a cool smaller city as well.

How are you able to simultaneously type and pleasure yourself to a map of South Carolina?

South Carolina is a dump.

Had business in Greenville a couple years ago and ended up at Clemson one evening. Lots of amazing females there. KSU's best looking women are janitors at Clemson.

Maybe it will.....Maybe it won't

Did you not read my massive thread? i'm legit, bro.

Yeah, downtown Charleston is a "real dump".
Why go to Charleston when there's Topeka.

Don't be :curse: :curse: :curse: JT.

South Carolina is nice. Good looking women.

The Primary point is . . . if this season continues as it has to date, schools like Clemson in high school football hotbeds, that are close to huge population centers and located in states much more densely populated than Kansas and have certain geographical appeal (to many people) that no where in Kansas can emulate (not to mention 80,000 plus people in the stands on Saturday) are going to be gunning for the coaches we covet on this board.
And don't bother, I'll call this one on myself:

That's what friends and family who drive out here think, when they say they'll take the "back roads" instead of the Interstate. They look at a map of the Carolina's and think "rural" areas are like rural areas in Kansas and the Midwest, with miles between stop lights and towns when in reality there's all kinds of little burgs and townships along those "back roads".
The County that Clemson is in has 180,000 people, that's equal to the 4th largest county in Kansas (and 3x's the size of Riley County), it sits on the border of Pickens County which has a population of 110,000.
Just sayin . . . rural or isolated here, is not the same as rural and isolated in the Midwest.

Clemson sucks. Have you seen their mascot with the ridic tiny head? And really skinny pussy looking body.
Give me giant headed willie :ksu:

Agreed, that's worth at least a million in potential new coaches salary right there.

A person could really take this several different ways. Gay route, small penis route, mascot route, etc. Anyway you slice it, I honestly did LOL for quite a while.

Lots of Clemson Fans who keep their boats or live on Lake Hartwell, just take their boats over to Clemson for the games.
-
Clemson has better local population to recruit from, but they also have a lot more competition.
Still, Tommy's recruiting, especially his last class, has been pretty good.
-

It's all relative . . .
They're showing commits from 3 4 stars, and 1 3 star right from their own backyard.
27 Prospects from SC have already committed to BCS schools.

Not sure if you're trying to argue with me, but my point is that every school in the ACC enjoys similar recruiting territory.

No . . . just saying that it's an area that can produce enough for lots of schools.

More competition than NU, ku, MU, ISU, OSU, OU, CU, CSU, Iowa? Maybe a few more, but then they have probably eight times more population and ten times the number of big time recruits in their "area of influence". All the above teams are competing over chicken bones....Clemson is competing over chunks of prime rib.
Bowden should have been fired....he's got no excuse not to have been fairly regularly competing for ACC championships. On the other hand, it could be argued that Prince is delivering the records an objective observer would expect for a school with KSU's "assets" and demographics.
Even if Clemson doesnn't offer, it would be folly for Patterson to take the KSU job.....a suicide mission. It would take him three years to dig out of the recruiting hole, and by then KSU would be long gone from any luster of the Snyder glory years. But, at least the fan base might be even more realistic by then.

All ACC (and local SEC) schools are in the same boat, though. Just like All Big 12 North schools are in basically the same boat. TB was about an average recruiter in the ACC. Maybe slightly above average.

Nobody expects K-State to land 4 or 5 stars across the board. But it's not unreasonable to expect a coach who was given an extremely solid foundation, nice facilities, and plenty of funding to be recruiting on a higher level than what Ron Prince is doing. All K-State fans expect K-State to have a handful of "diamond in the rough" kids in every recruiting class (but not seemingly one after the other), we expect a slightly higher number (but sill reasonable) of Juco signees in every recruiting class (but not 19 or 20, and not taking kids who can't make their respective Juco team), we expect initial struggles from a new coaching staff when they first arrive (but we expect that they should be moving "upmarket" to a degree by their 3rd recruiting class and so far it's highly debatable if that's happening).
