when will this guy ever learn? my guess is never.
i have no issue with him launching a national coaching search. every legitimate program would do the same. the problem, of course, is that he's in a position where the fans do not like him and he needs to hire someone they approve of.
if you want to launch a national search, that's great. but by not leaking out any potential names, and by keeping this thing a total secret, then this is what happens. your rabid fan base dreams up names in their head, comes up with a list of possible candidates, identifies their favorite, momentum builds, excitement builds, and now you're screwed if the man you hire isn't the man the fan base now demands.
had currie leaked out that he's speaking with jankovich, underwood and boyle, the fan base would have thrown its support around one of them and then hiring the lesser of the evils would have been accepted. it wouldn't be embraced - but it'd be accepted.
now? oh, man. it's gottlieb or bust.
nice job, currie. :lol:
-
NO BUSTING ACCEPTED, CURRIE
-
I am still holding out hope that Currie is devious and did all this to get rid of Frank intentionally so that he could make a cool ass hire. I know this is prob not how it really is, but he may be a non-tuck that is really good at hiding in plain sight amongst the actual tucks. :dunno:

It wasn't currie that leaked Boyle?
-
If we end up with Gottlieb, then it wasn't a mistake at all. Currie will get to take all of the credit for taking a chance on Doug when he's a huge success and he will be a hot name when any other AD position comes open.
-
It wasn't currie that leaked Boyle?
no, boyle leaked boyle.
-
It wasn't currie that leaked Boyle?
no, boyle leaked boyle.
good
-
Mistake?
Currie opened the door for greatness. :emawkid:
-
Gumblings Currie drinks about 19 mountain dews a day. This HAS to factor into his decision somehow.
-
NO BUSTING ACCEPTED, CURRIE
Actually, busting is accepted....but only after the hiring of DG.
-
maybe it wasn't a mistake. maybe it was gottlieb who john wanted all along. just maybe we've all been played.
just maybe.

Uh, like, I don't think so.

I think Currie was wearing that shiteating smirk the whole presser because he knew he had Doug locked in for this. This is just all the hype leading up to his mega splash hire :pray:

So disgusting.

is it possible that currie wont hire gottlieb simply because he doesnt want his future employers to think he can be bullied into a hire by the fans?

At the press conference, JC was somewhat giddy when KS mentioned that he had a list of potential coaches to hire when he was interviewed for AD job. I bet he still has a list... maybe in his back pocket.
Anyway, he is in a state of euphoria with this opportunity for his first hire of a major sport at a BCS university. :lynchmob: :driving: :bigtoke: :woot: :doom:

This is my legitimate fear. Which is why I emailed Currie and asked him to do whats best for Kstate and not whats best for his career... Yes i think its to late for that.

hmmm. seems like maybe we could delete all the threads and tweets and then just calmly compliment him on the fact that he is considering it. seriously though, if he doesn't do this then everybody if the free world will know why and he'll look even dumber. i mean, not hiring him is fine or whatever but not hiring him just because all of your fans want you to is just childish and immature and i'm sure he is neither. right?
-
If he does hire DG, he'll spin it in his favor.
-
i mean, not hiring him is fine or whatever
Rick, we're either all in or nothing.

yes, but he wont say thats the reason he didnt hire him. he'll say he had no head coaching experience etc...
-

Rick, we're either all in or nothing.
i'm just saying that if john currie chooses not to hire him now then every single person alive will know it's because he felt like he was pressured by his fan base to do so. i mean, alone and on it's own merits then currie would obviously hire him. how could he not? basically what i'm saying is that i'm pretty sure that john currie is not that small of a person that he would let a little bit of "who thought of it first" get in the way of a homerun hire. prove me right john.

I think he really loves his list. May be hard to convince.

Can't second guess yourself. We go as hard as possible for gottlieb and what happens happens.

What is his list, though? No one really knows outside of Tad Boyle.
It's not Jankovich; he's not that stupid. It's not Henson. It's not Eustachy.
Currie may have a list, but no one knows who's actually on it.

isnt tad boyle out of the running?
-
A) rake, you are the best.
B) don't be a dumbass, he leaked that he was talking to tad and had tad call into kc radio to rally tad loser support.
C) currie has one opportunity to save his job/career. ONE. if he doesn't take it I will make it mine (and my minions) goal to end his jittery career.

yes, swish, tad is out of the running. tell the kstate losers that. he better rough ridin' be...

but we're all in agreement that he isn't so petty that he'd let a bunch of vocal kstate super fans get in the way of making the perfect (gottleib) hire. right? i mean he'll obviously do what is best for the university and it's fans and players and go through with the gottleib hire right? i believe he will. i believe in john currie to do the right thing.
-
yes, swish, tad is out of the running. tell the kstate losers that. he better rough ridin' be...
what about the fact that john currie is too proud to hire a guy the fan base is trying to force him into hiring???
-
John Curris isn't wanting to end his career is he? hiring Doug Gottlieb would save it. Anything less would end it on the spot. There would be riots. he is reading this thread. he knows. he can be a hero.

Hopefully, he gets with Gottleib and interviews him. That all I ask. Currie, keep your list in your back pocket. Talk to Doug, PLEASE.

he's not that petty swish. he can't be. he just can't be. everybody would see through it. i have faith that he'll make the right call and the right hire. no way that he'll act like a seven year old and act irrationally and out of spite. he's way to polished and loves kansas state university way to much for that. right?

I believe John Currie realizes he's one of the least popular people in Manhattan right now, and his boss probably doesn't want a full scale revolt right after they hire a basketball coach.
National perception of Currie is that he ran off one of the rock stars of college basketball (rightly or wrongly). Now he's getting Twitter bombed by fans wanting a TV analyst to fill the head coaching position because all of the names that have leaked thus far have royally sucked.
Now he's going to have people sitting outside of Bramlage, cooking kosher hot dogs, on a Saturday in support of said TV analyst.
If he ends up hiring some mid-major loser like Scott Sutton, the reaction on Twitter is going to be awful. He's got two or three more days of full scale social media fire coming right at him focused on one guy. If he doesn't go with that guy...

he's bigger than that though right? i mean, i have to assume that he isn't some weirdo vindictive petty son of a bitch that would eff his entire fanbase over (twice) just so the hire could be "his". i mean what kind of ego driven self serving bad person son of a bitch would hate the fans of the school that employs him that much to exact revenge in such a way? no. no way. he won't do this to us and to the school that employs him.

maybe boyle ended up with colder feet than currie could have ever dreamed, after taking a surprise tourney bid home from the pac 12 tournament. maybe currie ended up crap creek without a paddle or a boyle and didn't have any ideas left over. maybe gottlieb's sudden eloquence was a godsend to a desperate young a.d. strung out on redneck caffeine. maybe gottlieb was godsent to unite a fanbase and an athletic director with a 101 reasons to hate each other and just one reason to tolerate one another for a few more precious seasons.
