Quote from: powercat5000 on February 27, 2009, 11:18:59 PMI'm okay with weiser- He raised ksu's athletic budget, had the budget looking good, wasn't a big spender because ksu doesn't have the cash flow to be big spenders. This guy got Bob Huggins to come to lowly Manhattan, KS and he showed how much he cares for this University the day that Huggins hit the bricks (was one pissed off hombre). I have friends that are football coaches and go to the ksu coaching clinics- people there say that Weiser was great to work with and was willing to listen and consider almost anything. If you don't want a Timid AD donate your F**king money. Supposedly Weiser had an interview set up with Gary Patterson when Snyder retired and Wefald pulled the rug out from under him and hired Prince and he also wanted to fire Wooly a year earlier from when he really was fired and Wefald wouldn't let him. In my opinion Weiser wasn't the problem, it is Wefald who has turned into KSU's Al Davis.I really have to disagree with you. Huggins was looking at us or Mizzou. It wouldnt take a lot to get a despirate coach here. He did a terrible job of expanding the KSU athletics brand. His emphasis on club sports has really hurt us. We could have had nationally recognized programs but they are only "clubs". Weiser and Weefer are equally responsible for the prince experiement.

I highly doubt that K-state had any opportunity to gain enough resources to make any other club sports into "recognized programs" Hell it's hard enough to do that with football and basketball. Who f'n cares about wrestling or softball anyway? Both sports are worse to watch then womens basketball.
