No coach will work here until they are allowed to do what P5 coaches need to do to recruit and manage their players/team.
Bingo. A major reason Currie hired Weber is because Weber can't manage players (Foster, to some extent Angel). So Weber doesn't push back in this area at all. It's actually good personal risk management by Currie, just detrimental to K-State.
You can't have the ego Currie has a as leader and your organization be successful. If have to hire people who are smarter than you and better at you for what you hire them to do, then let them do it while giving them whatever resource they need to do it. Currie is great at fund raising, I'll give him that, but he is ignorant of the fact he has no knowledge of how to run a sports program.
Currie had all kinds of basketball coaching moves he could have made this off season: Underwood, Henson, Gottlieb, Jankovich, and the list goes on. All guys who could put together a decent staff and recruit. But, I doubt any of them would have said yes to working under Currie. It's also completely ridiculous that K-State administration would value anything that has anything to do with Keady.
