IMO the following constraint will be put on any possible coaching search:

* Coached or played under LHC Bill Snyder

Including this limitation (among others) I think the possible candidates are then only:

Jim Leavitt
Brent Venebles
Sean Snyder
Bert Bielma
Dana Dimel
Chuck Long
Mike Stoops
Mike Ekeler
Bob Stoops (but c'mon that's not happening)

(I might be missing someone...)

LOL, Gene isn't limiting his search to "Snyder Guys" that's preposterous. That list is ridiculous and I think you know that. There are three guys on that list who will come close to meriting consideration.

I want you guys to think about this name, not sure I've ever seen him mentioned, but he coached at NDSU under Bohl, Gus Bradley. I think if Gene Taylor hires the next football coach, he'll hire Gus Bradley.
I 100% think the search will be limited to Snyder-guys.

I tell you what, let's make a  friendly bet.  $100 to Fatty's Fund if it's a Snyder-guy or not.  Double if it's Gus or Sean.

As much as I'd love to do that, the three leading Snyder tree candidates would all take the job if offered. I do think Brent would take it but we would have to pay him twice the amount we'd have to pay the Muppet. I took exception to the others on that list being anything close to this or any other P5 job. Mike Stoops? Are you high? Like I said before why stop there let's just go ahead and interview Brian VanGorder too?

Even the last few years the team improved. I watched an old man getting tossed softballs and losing train of thought. I'm sorry if I'm wrong but I don't think he has any gas in the tank...

He’s been doing that since at least 2014

Was it 2013 when he confused Sams and Jake during his show?

What gives you confidence in our current AD to make a great hire?
I'm not saying a great hire.  I'm saying hiring someone competent (i.e. not sean).

That sounds gross and boring.......we are already that.

We tried exciting, bold and daring.. be careful what you wish for

Ron Prince's worst season was 5 wins. Yes, his defenses were completely unwatchable, but 5 wins was his floor. After building up DOD1, Bill tied or sunk further than 5 wins twice, and he's about to do it again. The myth that Prince's coaching jobs were worse than anything Snyder has ever put forth needs to die.

Couldn’t beat KU though. That’s really the only thing that cost him the job.

If he could've just played .500 against KU/MU/NU, he'd probably still be our coach.

In fairness to catastrophe, the thing is captioned "rankings".  If you look more closely, you can see it is "standings".

Fox is stupid. That's the conference standings. Teams with the same record are listed alphabetically unless they played head-to-head (UT vs.OU)

Some chemo patients do complain of temporary dementia like problems.  Did Bill have chemo in 2004 and 2005 as well?

I think that's when he contracted HPV.  :dunno:
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever
