I think K-State has positioned itself to have a baseline expectation of decent from here on out.
My expectation:
True shot for confy title, top-10 type season every 3 or 4 seasons.
Top 4 in conference most years.
minor bowl, 6-5, 6-6 seasons acceptable every once in awhile.
any losing season is hot water.
I'm not an expert. Maybe Sean can do this. I wouldn't be thrilled, but I wouldn't burn it down if her were hired. I'd be meh. Meh can work out.
