Umm..why?

Never heard of him.

Wisc HC gig > K-St HC gig.  Life's not fair.  I don't blame him.

So? We HAD NO CHANCE AT BB YOU DIP@#%$.

This isn't Brent Venables taking a Big 10 team and leading them to a 12-1 season. Then you could be your jayhox/bitter self.

Really dumbass?? We had NO SHOT at keeping BB at KSU??   No shot, or didn't even attempt at taking a shot at keeping him??

[fatty fat fat]

No. He left for a full-time DC job. Did you want to Fire Elliot after two straight top 10 defenses? Damn, hindsight is fun!

[sonofdaxjones]

Sure is . . . don't understand why it bothers you so much.

[Racquetball_Ninja]

He was not going to take the job here, Bielma was Snyder's boy and that was the only reason he was in Manhattan.  Once he knew the old man was gone he was gone as well.

[sonofdaxjones]

He left the year before Snyder Retired.

I don't think KSU made any real effort to entice him to stay.   A signficant strategic error.

We offered him more money before we hired Prince.

Wisc HC gig > KSU HC gig +$300k?

Well, obviously, but it has to be pretty close.

My conspiracy theory is that the old man told him he was out the door and that if he had an opportunity to take it he should.  Que the Barry Alvarez.

Beilema had no love for KSU.  Beilema is a blip in KSU history and this further confirms what a dufus you are.

Never said he had any love for KSU . . . it's a business not love.

The worst part about all of this is that we would have been 12-1 had he been our coach.

[Poopley]

yes, and we would've won championships without hearing about the waffle house, the going-ashore-with-ships-aburnt, the bold & daringness, or the Best Cat Growl upon a recruit committing. what a bleak existence THAT would've been. give me a  corny coach with gimmicks ANY DAY.

wtf are you talking about? Just how did you expect us to lure Bielema ksujayhox?

[sonofdaxjones]

Not lure dumbass . . . Keep, remember he WAS here at KSU already FattyMoosehawk.

[fatty fat fat]

. Keep, remember he WAS here at KSU already FattyMoosehawk.

Yeah, we already covered that. How did you expect us to keep him from going to a full time DC job at a top big 10 school?

Moosehawk? Um. Ok.

[Saulbadguy]

. Keep, remember he WAS here at KSU already FattyMoosehawk.

Yeah, we already covered that. How did you expect us to keep him from going to a full time DC job at a top big 10 school***?

Moosehawk? Um. Ok.

***With the promise that he would end up the HC after Alvarez retires.  I'm sure there was no such deal even discussed at KSU.

[sonofdaxjones]

Money and a desire to keep him here . . . really its not that hard.  I am not saying he would've stayed either.   

Again, excellent strategic thinking on the part of Alvarez and Wisconsin.

I doubt he had that promise when he left KSU.

I'm thinking he did.  He was DC in the 04 season, and then at the beginning of the 05 season, Alvarez announced he would retire.

[fatty fat fat]

He was our friggin LB's coach in 2003, and our HC just won the big 12! No one was discussing a Snyder retirement at that point. Our program was on cloud nine at the time.

[Saulbadguy]

I was thinking it (Bielema for HC after BA retired) was discussed at the time of his hire at Wisconsin.

I'm thinking his badass 04 defense was responsible for the promise.  Your scenario makes sense, though, except for the part about a Big 10 school promising a LB coach a HC job without any true coordinator experience.

[sonofdaxjones]

So what . . . he went from being our LB coach, straight to the DC and Assistant Head Coaching job at Wisconsin, with a clear succession plan in place.  It's not like Wisconsin sucked before he got there.   They just did a better job of having a clear plan of succession plan in place, the value of having a head football coach/AD.

Props to Alvarez and Wisconsin for having such forethought.

Proving that:

1.   Snyder did KSU no favors by up and retiring seemingly out of nowhere.

2.   The idea of giving a football coach total control and running an athletic department where many important decisions run right though the head football coaches office isn't always a good thing.
