What will Prince have to do before these threads go away?

i heard some info from somebody associated w/ the recruiting department regarding the new head coach. hopefully they are exaggerations, but here's the jist:
-although snyder was demanding, he was a peach to work for versus prince. prince constantly yells, berates, chews out everybody associated w/ the football staff. includes players and coaches.
-mo lattimore apparently "won't come out of his office" because of the scoldings :dunno
-this person wouldn't be surprised to see most if not all of the assistant coaches to bail after this season. prince is beyond hard on them. apparently the week of the marshall game, franklin was "suspended". meaning, prince took over offensive responsibilities.
-overall, prince's demeanor is completely different behind closed doors vs. in front of the public.
-much of the support staff is actively "looking for new jobs" b/c of the environment.
-lastly, most people in the program weren't sad to see boss go. many people thought he faked a lot of injuries, didn't give much effort, and was an overall disappointment.

take all of this for what it's worth. i don't know if i believe all of it, or if some of it is exaggerated because of sour grapes by this person. it's interesting b/c this is coming from somebody who has been in the program for about 10 years.

It's pretty obvious no one will care about BS like this if/when Prince is successful...how successful will he have to be?

I should add that I love reading rumors like this, good or bad, even if they are complete fabrications.

I don't care about this, if we are losing.

1.  wtf is the "recruiting department?"
2.  they can't even spell mo latimore's name right.
3.  NO-one, I mean NO-one could possibly be harder/have more asst. coach departures than Snyder.
4.  OTWT

Are you saying being a dick is no longer acceptable if we're winning, or posting similar rumors is acceptable if we're losing?

Being a dick is acceptable in both situations.

This is my favorite part of that post.  I can see Mo, a 20+ year coaching veteran, just hiding under his desk in fear.

There should be a "rumor of the week" that gets posted at the top every Friday.

I think it will take a B12 North title before people stop posting crap like this.

There were a ton of stories like this about Snyder, but no one posted them because he was a hell of a coach.

God, I hope you're wrong.  The Cats will take this year and probably next year to get in Big XII Championship form and I don't think I can wait that long.

I was hoping a win over OSU would slow it down.  Maybe beating NU will do it?

If he gets to a bowl game this year, these things should simmer down.  If you listen to coaches talk about their time at KSU under Snyder, damn near every one of them has this type of tone "it's the best thing I'd never, ever want to do again".
