Title: Ubben's boner for Snyds
Post by: detch23 on July 09, 2012, 09:13:48 AM
Puts LHCBS in perspective compared to other schools. This brings me back to the topic of what we are going to do for our next coach.

I have never been under the impression that Ubben hates K-State, but I think this is more just agknowlegeing how terrible we were without him.

Here's what we know:

Currie wants out of Manhattan yesterday.  Wants it so bad it's the only thing he thinks about.  But, he isn't leaving for a worse job.  He wants a big time job.  He has obviously tainted his image by not being able to get along with his basketball coach.  Some dumbasses will tell you that there isn't enough public evidence for this and some will refuse to believe it.  Everyone who is everyone in college sports knows what went down and that those two rough ridin' idiots couldn't play nice.  He made it worse by hiring a loser who anyone who had an opening could have hired.  He has done well raising money.  He timed that right as conference armageddon was happening and our alumni realized we had a real shot at getting kicked out of the big kid pool if we didn't start doing some crap.  He also looks good because we are comparing him to a bunch of dumbfucks who preceeded him who didn't know crap about raising money (I still love you Bob).  So, he knows he has to make a big hire in football.  He knows his chance will come soon.  He will take a better job if one comes available before Bill dies or whatever but he may not get an offer.  I think he will try to make a splash football coach hire.  I'm hopeful he will try to pay a lot to do so.  I'm not really that concerned with Currie making this hire.

I wouldn't say effed, OB prolly has 5 good years left and that is plenty of time for a quality coach to get fired somewhere go to the NFL and then come back to be a Head Coach.. Cough Jim Leavitt Cough Cough

guys look, zook wouldn't have been my first choice either, but he did take illinois to a bcs bowl game! i'm personally going to see how he recruits and coaches on the field for a few years before i judge him and i urge you all to do the same. if he can just learn from some of the mistakes he made while he was at illinois and bring in some good recruiting assistants...

If it were going to be Leavitt, Currie would have let Snyder go ahead and make him defensive coordinator. I would like to think we can do better than Leavitt, but I think Currie will end up with someone worse.

My biggest problem with Currie hiring Weber is that I think Currie truly believes he made a good hire. It makes it hard to believe that Currie will make a good football hire, regardless of what he is willing to spend, because he just doesn't know what a good hire is.

I can actually forsee Weber getting his ass kicked in confy this year.  But you are right, Weber's track record and inherent chicken nuggets-ness will make him popular.  Plus, from what I have seen, Weber is adept at deflecting when his talented teams crap all over the court.  He will survive several years.

Currie is gambling on the timing with oscar.  I mean, if Bill does have 5 yrs left, Currie will be our AD for a while or take a lateral move.

Also, we should start talking to Peyton Manning about the coaching job.  I mean, his NFL arc and Bill's remaining life have to have  similar timing, right?

Guys, It's going to be Ron Zook.  Currie will be on the fence about it, but he'll get phone calls from 80-year-old Johnny Majors and 77-year-old John Cooper giving Zook a recommendation from his days as their assistants in the 1980s and it will be all over.

heh. I think you have to do something like this (or Prince) with football just like you do with basketball. I'm a firm believer that you won't be able to hire a proven winner to coach at KSU, like, ever. So just roll the dice, and maybe be great.

I'm going to be honest here.  I read this post and realized there is a possibility that we may be looking for a new FBHC in 5-6 months and immediately got a knot in the pit of my stomach.  I know there's a small chance of it happening and my stomach dropped.  It's not so much the losing Bill, but the thought of who is replacement will be.  I really hope Johnny Majors and John Cooper go on a 21 day cruise together followed by a 1 month fishing expedition starting December 1st.  Maybe add an African Safari after that just to be safe.

If we get Malzahn he will be here for one year before the SEC comes calling, and we'll (hopefully) take a risk on one of the assistants he brought in. And I'll love every second of it.

Yeah, but 2 and 3 don't necessarily conflict either.  A great hire that is seen out of KStates league would help his resume tremendously.  His resume really doesn't need any more fundraising polishing.  It could really use some good coach hiring and relationship polishing though.

Well he ran off the one we had, so he probably needs two to get back ahead in that category (that is unless he wants an SEC job, in which case he needs to hire as many non-threatening white protestants as possible).

12% increase over what we are paying the current staff as a whole is still no where near the $ it will take to hire splash coach.  It's not just the $ for the HC as the HC won't commit coaching suicide by taking a job with a low staff budget.

I'm not sure if he meets our "better than Prince" standard. Dimel would be better, but not much. I would like to see us pursue Luke Fickell, but I doubt that we even give him a phone call.

I think the whole "Dimel wouldn't be a bad choice" idea is dependent on what the overall staff budget is.  If we could hire Dimel at $1.5MM rather than someone else at $2.3MM, would Dimel be given an extra $400,000 to play with to hire is assistants over what the $2.3MM coach would be given?  Would Dimel be given an extra $150,000 to throw at a better DC?  Would rather take Dimel with a higher staff budget than a splash HC hire with a crap staff.

Look at Ron Prince's team with James Franklin & Raheem Morris compared to Ron Prince's team with Tim Tibesar & Dave Brock.  Look at LHC Bill Snyder's teams with Dana Dimel or Brett Bielema or any DC or OC from the 1990s compared to LHC Bill Snyder's teams with Del Miller and Bobby Elliott.

I agree, but if you don't get told "no" a few times, you're not really going to end up with the best possible coach. It's going to be a whole lot easier for me to stomach whoever we end up with if we at least publicly go after some good coaches. I mean, if Iowa State can get Gene Chizik, who's to say we have no shot at somebody's defensive coordinator? Why not ask?

They would only be against Tressel until his first press conference, at which time they would fully endorse him. It would be just like Huggins, only better.

The majority of our fans will stop going to games altogether after we hire some loser and he goes a few seasons with only 5-6 wins. It's Currie's job to see this.

People keep bringing this talking point up like it matters, but it really doesn't matter how many times we get told no. It's not like Dimel will refuse the job if we get told no too many times. At the end of the day, nobody remembers how many times you get told no. If I were conducting the search and the first guy I asked said yes, I would think that I didn't aim high enough.

I think you missed the part where I said "worse potential hires". I'm fine with getting told "no" until Dimel is our best option. My point is that Currie is so set on bringing in an outside hire that he'll keep asking even if Dimel ends up being a much better option than the person he brings in.

Is see that as KSU isn't a destination job for Raheem if he wanted to get back into the college game, and he wouldn't come back to KSU to try to improve his stock to get a better job because he doesn't believe he would get a fair shake at the next one.

Yeah, I didn't understand him to be saying anything about KSU -- good, bad or otherwise.  It had to do with college football more broadly being behind the NFL in minority hiring.  It just so happened Raheem came from KSU (where we already had a minority head coach at the time.)
