Look, I dislike K-State and the majority of the Wildcat fanbase just as much as anybody. However, with the departure of Huggins, this will open up the door for someone who truly wants to be at K-State. Just like when Roy left ku for UNC, everyone's biggest fear was that our program would never recover. Now, you guys can joke and take shots all you'd like, but Bill Self is the perfect fit for our program. The same thing is going to happen with K-State. While in the short term, it hurts like hell to lose a great coach like Bob Huggins, the best thing for K-State and your basketball program is to find a coach who truly wants the best for K-State.
Maybe now isn't the best time to attempt rational discussion, but come on guys. K-State was a darn good basketball program long before Huggins ever came around. There is a coach out there just waiting for the opportunity to coach a Big 12 program like K-State. With a solid nucleus already in place, the K-State job is much, much better than it was just a year ago, and you guys managed to hire Bob Huggins, one of the winningest active coaches in college basketball. I have no doubt that K-State can make another good hire, and continue to build on the success that you had this past season.
Just a week ago, it was us Jayhawk fans who had the wind knocked out of us after a tough loss to UCLA in the Elite Eight. This is just the way it goes when you have so much invested into a university that you love with all your heart. K-State deserves better than Bob Huggins, and everyone outside of Manhattan knew that all along. Your program is bigger than any individual, regardless of their popularity.
All is not lost, Wildcats. Keep your chin up.
