if we fire oscar and hire him as some sort of up and comer with university connections so help me god 

Agreed.  With Henson, I wouldn't care .  I don't want to spend another 5 years not caring.  I mean, I can, but I'd prefer to care.

You're gonna weigh 80 pounds if you keep not caring for another 5 years.

Henson would be worse than retaining oscar. I'm not even kidding.

i think everyone can agree on that

I can't believe it, but I think I am in this camp as well. 

Henson is just a lazy hire with no thought put behind it.  Oh, he went to KSU???  Great!!!  He'd be a fantastic head coach!!!

This discussion is making me like Henson more.

[kso_FAN]

Maybe Steve will put together a really nice binder.

[renocat]

Spradling.  People liked him.  His dad was.a.coach.  He coaching at Anthony Prairie View.A&M.

Yeah, I'm pretty much all in at this point.

[Skipper44]

I bet Currie would love to hire Henson just like Mike Alden hired Kim Anderson on his way out the door at Mizzou - "here's your boy hayseeeds, enjoy!"

[Rage Against the McKee]

Come home, Steve!

This whole discussion truly adds extreme emphasis to missing out on Underwood twice.

It was the ultimate no lose situation for an AD. 

Brad was clearly the number one assistant from a coaching/system perspective.  He had previous collegiate head coaching experience (it was JUCO whatevs).   The good will, the patience by the fanbase and big cigars would have been cash money for a smart AD. 

Then to have the opportunity a second time, albeit more expensive, and passing again!  That's fireable right there kids.  It ain't gonna happen but lots of other AD's would be calling their agent/industry recruiter/contacts.   

Stevie needs a 3 season track record, because he had zero previous head coaching experience.

I said it last year but not firing Weber and hiring Underwood is going to set our program back for a long time. Now we will most likely fire doofus and there are no good candidates out there to choose from. Pretty much sums up life as a K-state fan.

disagree

it would be a garbage hire tho

(i could never bring myself to hate Steve the way i loathe Oscar)

[Tobias]

never is a long time.  like, some people are just now deciding to not like oscar

[kso_FAN]

disagree

(i could never bring myself to hate Steve the way i loathe Oscar)

I agree, unless Steve is full of excuses and play hard charts too.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I'm fairly confident Steve would have our Cats in the Big Dance next year and probably the year after as well.

even then he has a base of cultural capital and a level of self awareness/confidence oscar cant touch

[Tobias]

i think people absolutely underrate how entertaining it is to lose with oscar.  i don't want some kroger brand losing experience if we're gonna be garbage

[Rage Against the McKee]

Steve Henson is Private Selection brand all the way, though.

This is a great point.

no thanks.  Too Fat/weird looking.  Sheesh why couldn't he have been hoiberg

Hoiberg is much better looking, but he had much less of a career pass. NBA bounce around guy to NBA assistant to Iowa State HC.

Henson has NBA bounce around, NBA assistant, Kruger assistant (at various locales) on his resume.

I would rather wait to see Steve prove it a bit as a head coach, but if we are comparing to Hoiberg he had done nothing to think he would be good. ISU basically got lucky with him like we got lucky with Frank.

He has proven he can coach defense. There is enough data on that. At a low or mid major he is never going to prove he can be a high major roster builder. I think that is the hardest thing to do at a non blue blood in college basketball. There is only one way to find out.

He hasn't proven crap. You can't give him credit for improving the defense but give him a pass for making a bad offense worse.

Roll the dice, John.

I had to google this and now it makes more sense as to why I played co-ed indoor volleyball and went against him a few times this year.. Hes at Anthony middle school coaching.. Who knew? not me
