We have an acting a AD and 75 year old UP - No up and comer is putting his career on the line with that so we have 3 options - stick with oscar, be a reset button or pay Brad & OSU.  It's only money

What? You don't really think any of that matters do you? I mean if we're talking about ancillary crap, I'm guessing the fact that the remodel of Jardine is just as important to an incoming coach.

Maybe your crazy red state legislature could criminalize Currie's actions, extradite him, and flog him publicly.

Or do you guys do red-hot pokers up the gastrointestinals? That would be even better. Letting OSU hire Brad should be punished criminally.

Does a Steve Forbes type want to take his one shot with Laird and The General.  What if Wade and X transfer and he is starting over in year 2 with a new UP and a new AD?

If he thinks he's going to win, why would he care?

A coach going to a school with no ad sounds like a kid committing to a school with no coach... Most people in these situations want to know who their boss is going to be

All you need in this life is ignorance and confidence, and then success is sure.

I do agree a supremely confident coach is what we need but even a mega ego guy like Gregg Marshal waited for an up and running WSU and not a fixer upper like our program

The AD job is SOOO much more attractive with the dirty laundry done.

Fire Oscar Laird!

Let's give the new AD a clean slate.

I think Snyder will say who is AD.  He likes Veacht.  So the AD is in place.  I think we need an excited student body and alumni for the long term health of the university.   Excitement yields giving ---- loot. I love Kansas State basketball but I don't sense Weber really loves this university.

Everyone knows that just because Veatch fires him, doesn't mean Veatch hires the next coach, right?  We can rough ridin' fire Weber now, and let the new AD select his own coach....should be enticing for a serious AD candidate to choose his own guy right out of the gate in the #2 sport.

I mean, I know that is obvious, but seems like we have had a lot of chatter lately about who chooses the next coach and the timing of choosing the next coach.

I know. I got up this morning really hoping to be able to read that he was gone.  It's how I suppose I can approach each new day going forward.

I really hope it's on a Saturday or Sunday morning so I can pour a 17 year scotch when I see that it's been done.

oscar knows his contract won't be extended if he doesn't improve next year. Why wouldn't he leave now so he can parlay his NCAA berth into a 3-5 year job at some midmajor? Even with less pay. It's not like he needs the money or has any real attachment to Manhattan. Go somewhere with lower expectations, less headache, and a guaranteed paycheck for at least 3 years? Seems like a no brainer.

Maybe this'll work itself out for us? Of course, then we're the school that got dumped by oscar instead of being the dumper. I can live with that.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

I agree with the comments above.  Weber could have a more comfortable and stress-free life if he leaves on his own terms.  But is he too prideful to do that?  He could get a 5 year $800k/yr contract with bonus incentives at a mid major pretty easily.  There will be plenty of vacancies at that level.
