Currie going to be any good?

[A-Lishious]

True test for this guy - does he have a binder, and how thick is it?

[~WabashRoll~]

Any relatives in Centralia, Great Bend, or any other random small towns in Kansas we should know about?  Also important.

[sonofdaxjones]

He's down at Staples buying a big ol 3 ringer right now.

[Ghost of Stan Parrish]

Definitely looks like a good hire.  Honestly, if I'm measuring him against Lew Perkins (#1 guy at a school that won NCs in basketball and built a football team), he doesn't measure up (starting with fact Currie was only #2 at UT).  But, Currie is so much better than Kaptain Krause it's laughable -- it's like Currie and Krause aren't even the same species.

If Currie does have an edge over Perkins, it is probably in terms of youth and vigor...

[MadCat]

-- it's like Currie and Krause aren't even the same species.

They're both still Homos...(bad anthropology joke). 

[Winters]

He's basically like the equivalent of Scott Pioli in the assistant athetlic directors world.

Homerun hire.

[berford]

Pretty much don't know what it takes to be a good AD.

Raise money and hire winning coaches, in that order! He's a home run hire! Welcome Mr. Currie!

EMAW!  Learn it, live it!

When do we start worrying about other universities taking him?

When Wake Forest fires their guy?

In this scenario, particularly if it happens after one year, who do we get to whine/cry during a press conference?

i'd like to have an AD who has the balls to fire a worn out old coach.  Fulmer isn't some f'ing angel; he fired a bunch of assistants to save his own ass.

I am pretty sure you are smoking some ganja out of your own ass.  Dont talk crap if you dont know anything.  I can clearly see u dont.

im not trying to start fights here, I just want to inform.  But I really dont appreciate the blasting of my comments.  I usually only read this site for the bball recruiting updates.  If this is the way things are handled here, especially like PissClams, then I just won't provide info.  I just wanted to say I hope this guy is not like Hamilton.  If that is the case, great for us.  Hamilton is just a low life scum sucking dog and if anyone likes him, they need to get their head examined.

Im glad the majority of Cat nation isnt like this.  Then we would be called ku.  Thanks for answering my question for me.  Its sad when fans of the same team are dicks to each other.

it's alright for phil to have coaches "resign" and "leave" after one bad season, but it's not okay for hamilton to fire fulmer for multiple bad seasons?  gmafb.  first, I don't really care or mind fulmer asking coaches to leave, snyder should have done the same thing, only i wouldn't feel bad for snyder if after he made those changes and they still didn't work out, he got canned.

That season UT was lucky to be 5-6.  Their offensive staff was an absolute joke starting with Randy Sanders.  If you would read like you should have, I was stating that I disliked Hamilton b/c he lied multiple times to Fulmer and was always making moves behind his back.  It has nothing to do with Phil getting stale like I sad.  Fired was definitely a likelihood (warranted) but the process was an absolute joke.  You do not understand or know the facts.

wow. what a breath of fresh air this kingkong two thousand two hundred and thirty three guy is.

glad to see someone come in here and lay it down like it should be for the powertards like these catzacker and pissclams jokers who think that ksu can do no wrong and that this currie hire is the best thing since sliced bread. i got news for you guys, there's a new sheriff in town. pack it up before you clowns get arrested.

When do we start worrying about other universities taking him?

right after the first Texas win

BTW, I wonder how many Texas wins were required in his contract?

so phil deserved it, but you didn't like how it went down?  who cares how it went down?  firing someone never goes down well, especially someone that's been at one place so long.  I'll take currie's worst thing in his ksu career having to do with tactfully firing someone.

[LimestoneOutcropping]

Have it confirmed he does NOT smell like curry.  Smells like pomegranite and rich Tennessee peat.

Should prolly write in a goal that doesn't come so naturally to us in the first place. imo

QFT.  Timmy was able to own Texas.

[BigCat]

OK, so if Currie turns out as good as I think he might be (tremendous upside potential), does that mean that KSU is officially "back in the saddle*" again?


*take hoops to the next level, which is most important, and return KSU to prominence in oval ball? Also if/when KSU starts winning, "Back in the Saddle Again" should be the univ.'s theme song.

"We were gone but now we're back" (slow focus onto Currie, New Pres and Snyder in front of Anderson Hall)

"...dun dun dun dun dun in the saddle again" (pan out to C, NP and S riding horses maybe? Too uk-ish? How much would we have to add to Snyds contract to get him to hang on to a galloping horse? 200k?)

[Andy]

serious question...since we are still paying 2 former AD's how much are we paying this dude?  hopefully this contract is a little more well thought out.

[purplebybirth]
