Title: Coaching Search / Succession Plan Thread
Post by: steve dave on January 03, 2013, 08:10:02 AM
Good piece by Haskin but he doesn't even bring up Dimel. Kind of feels like an internal struggle is starting with the Snyders on one side and Dimel on the other. Currie is probably not paying attention to either one.

Wonder what they said? Since most of us have never been chastised by our current AD, we have no biases to understand what it is like to chastised by them. Maybe Kevin will let us know later on. Till then I think he is just a fat whinny baby.

By the way, Bill has been scheming us all along throwing Sean carrots out there. He wants best for his kid but he knows Sean is not HC material, otherwise he would have him doing something other than special teams, he would be out OC. If anything Bill is just making sure no one with pull forgets about Sean when time comes for a new staff. He is making sure Sean is not out on his ass when Currie moves in and picks his new football staff.

I understand the feeling that the majority of people I've talked to have about Sean Snyder following Coach LHC Bill Snyder. But I have only this to say. After all that this man has accomplished, why question his judgement on anything? End of statement.

Currie will make an offer(a cheap one) to Peterson, will get violently mushed then laughed at, then will call some fired loser and tell us how he is an allstar coach and how nice of a guy he is. 

I just really hope that he picks up on the theme of DITR and talks about how the new fired loser is good at identifying DITR's and coaching them up to be solid young men that KSU'ers can be proud of.

Then Currie will high five the crap out of his bro's and collect on his bet that he could totally ruin KSU sports in under 3 yrs.

Definitely.  And it's not as though they can't make a good case for Sean.  But appealing to Snyder's judgement in this particular case is remarkably idiotic.

No one has presented an argument to support the opinion that Sean would be worse than Dimel or anyone else KSU could realistically hire. The best I've gotten is "he wouldn't be able to hire a staff". Which is pretty goddam vague and again, an opinion.

I will say, from all that's said about the "coaching fraternity" I would think it might be difficult for a guy like sean to assemble a staff.  I would think he not be taken seriously a little because he's basically riding coat tails.

whoever it is has got to get athletes, motivate them, and be able to put together successful game plans.

i worry about sean because he's never been anywhere but kstate and has never worked for anyone other than his dad. that doesn't exactly scream out that he has aspirations and is driven to be incredibly successful in his endeavors as a head coach at a major university. i worry about his connections and ability to recruit partly because of previously mentioned stuff but also because he has only been a "coach" for two years. how many other coaches does he know? how many clinics has he gone to? how has he networked? i worry that i can't remember a coach ever being promoted from special teams coach to head coach. ever. i worry that i've never heard of a father taking over for a son and being successful. i worry that people that know sean or have worked around him do not scream about how great he is and would be at the job. i'm worried that he would be easy to negative recruit against. i worry that it would be difficult for kstate to fire him if all signs pointed to the fact that he needed to be. he played at kstate. his name is on the stadium. his dad is LHC LHC Bill Snyder. he's very entrenched as a townie at this point in his life. so while other coaches might be very likely to fail, it would be easy to get rid of them. much harder with sean.

Great summary. I like Dimel because people ITK say he has basically taken the reigns from Bill on offense/play calling and we've had a couple pretty great years back to back on that side of the ball. I think his play calling fits the parts we have on offense. Whether you think it is a positive or a negative he would keep the staff together for the most part (not you Mo), I see this as a positive because we have something good going right now and I like some of our assistants (first time I've been able to say that under Bill in a long time). He has experience as a HC at multiple places (one good, one sucky). He isn't super old (not really a positive but not a negative).

Great summary. I like Dimel because people ITK say he has basically taken the reigns from Bill on offense/play calling and we've had a couple pretty great years back to back on that side of the ball. I think his play calling fits the parts we have on offense. Whether you think it is a positive or a negative he would keep the staff together for the most part (not you Mo), I see this as a positive because we have something good going right now and I like some of our assistants (first time I've been able to say that under Bill in a long time). He has experience as a HC at multiple places (one good, one sucky). He isn't super old (not really a positive but not a negative).

This sums up why I want Dimel. I think Snyder has assembled a roster that should be pretty great on the offensive side of the ball with his system, so if he were to retire after this system, I would prefer continuity. I think Dimel would continue to run exactly the same offense. Sean would probably try, but he has no experience calling plays. I'm worried that without a lot of continuity, our roster is mostly made up of 5 heart players who other coaches would struggle to plug into a different system. The fanbase will not be patient with the next coach, and if we don't win early, we could be pretty bad for a long time.

Sean Snyder would be just as likely to succeed as anyone else KSU could hire. It's a rough ridin' crapshoot at our level, dudes.

Amen to this.

Kansas St fans will be glad to know. I asked 73 yr old LHC Bill Snyder any chance this would be his last game "That is not my plan" #FiestaBowl

No reason to talk about this today.

the fact that he's snyders son is not a negative for me. the fact that he finished playing the position of punter at kstate twenty five years ago, never left and is currently only a second year special teams coach is.

so in short, the fact that he's snyder's son is a positive for you and would make you want to hire him except he hasn't met the rick daris's meter for exceeding in life.

So, Dimel/Sean. Garbage HCIW candidates iyam. Sean's had issues with kickoffs all season and Dimel learned nothing from the Baylor game. Also can't run/implement anything resembling a hurry-up offense.

I like Sean. That said, not Sean as HC. There is a difference.

hire anyone that will run one of the no huddle offenses.  we may as well use one until the ncaa finally has the good sense to outlaw them.

fact 1: Currie will actually try to make a big time hire at K-State
     -Why: People hire ADs for managing football programs at the majority of schools.  If he wants to move, he has to make a good hire
     -What is different: He CANNOT oscar a football hire.  He knows that people care just enough about football that he can't hire any ole dumbass. Instead he mushed our      fan base with oscar because he knew tucks would love it, and would string us along until we forgot about basketball again as a fan base. 

fact 2: Sean Snyder cannot be our head coach if we want to succeed.  You're an idiot if you think its a crap shoot.  How many quality assistants have moved on from this coaching tree to become good head coaches?  NO ONE regards Sean as a quality assistant
     -See the repeated FAILURES on special team just in tonight in the Fiesta Bowl.  Absolutely horrid.  If he can't manage the special teams unit, how is he going to manage the entire program.

for the reading impaired: i don't care who his dad is but i would like our next head football coach to have more experience than two years of coaching special teams. knock yourself out though clams. maybe you could hire him and then marry him all in the same week he's all you ever talk about anyway. sean would do it this way and sean snyder blah blah. quite the agenda. sorry if the rest of us aren't quite as enamored with him as you are.

I'm surprised that anyone hasn't figured that plan out yet - Hang on until he can force Sean into the HC position.

Yes, if the last three years have taught us anything - it is that Sean is a coaching genius just like his old man.  He may not be charismatic, which might inhibit his recruiting,  but as our stellar performances in the post season demonstrate, stars don't matter anyway.
