Title: Talked to some big-time Donors last night...
Post by: KanSt43 on April 04, 2013, 08:58:15 AM
...and here's what was discussed (some of this we already know, but hey...)

--LHC LHC Bill Snyder didn't return to "calm the waters". Bill came back strictly to make Sean "head coach in waiting". Sean is Bill's guy, and he will 95% likely be our next coach.
--Sean runs EVERYthing. I know most people know this, but apparently Bill is slowly letting Sean take over everything.
--Brent Venables, Jim Leavitt, Mike Stoops, Mangino, etc., were never seriously considered to replace Snyder his first go-around. Snyder is STILL bitter that these guys left K-State, and he doesn't want them now. IF the new coach is someone other than Sean, it will be from with-in the program.
--Snyder was up in the air on the Prince hire. 
--Snyder absolutely can't STAND Currie. Snyder sub-consciously wants Weber to "fail" so it can prove what an idiot Currie is, and run him out of town. Currie would be crucified if he ever touched Snyder, so Weber's failure might lead to Currie's eventual firing.
--Charlie Weis sent over "spies" to mimic almost everything that K-State does in football. His words (paraphrasing) "You get your asses over there and find out exactly what they are doing over there. I want to do it like that".
--Perkins (KU AD) loved the Prince hire. Apparently was very nervous that K-State hired a "home run" hire.
--Sams is Bill's guy. Would be shocked if Waters started over Daniel.
--Dalvin Warmack is the closest thing to Sproles the coaching staff has ever seen. 

--Basketball wise, verdict is still out on Weber. But he will have a short leash. If K-State fails to make the tournament in any year, he may be gone.
--Lon Kruger is still EMAW, but he would never return to coach here.
--Dana Altman felt that he was pushed out of K-State from within, but wouldn't rule out a K-State return.

Like I said, most already know this info, but hopefully some of this is new.

Bill offered Leavitt.  So they are wrong there.

Post by: sonofdaxjones on April 04, 2013, 10:12:54 AM
Why would Snyder be bitter about Jim Leavitt leaving K-State?  It was for a head coaching job.   Del Miller left K-State for a head coaching job, is Snyder still bitter about that?    That makes no effing sense.

The only parts I believe at all is the fact that HCBS doesn't like Currie and that Sean runs a lot of stuff, and that LSnyder wants Sean to take over for him.

yeah, that was another funny part. "felt that he was pushed out". I don't know, I just felt like they were hinting that I should get out when they said stuff like, "GTFO" and "Hit the road jerk" and "You will be fired in one month so take whatever job you can find"

Leavitt may have been interviewed, contacted, etc., but apparently never seriously considered. I think the SFlorida incident was more of a reason why Leavitt didn't get hired more recently. Also, Del Miller is Bill's close friend, idk if the same can be said about Leavitt. JMO

DON'T KILL THE MESSENGER!! lol

I love insidery information. Haters can suck it!
Also, you don't have to be an asshat and point out that some of the insidery stuff is wrong. If you don't realize that not all insider info is accurate, then that is your fault!!!

MORE MORE MORE!!!!!

Regarding Leavitt, I think KanSt43 is talking about him being the head coach instead of Prince, and the rest of you are talking about him returning as DC.

Can you guys imagine having Sean as our head coach?  I mean, what would his nickname be?  Hollywood? Nope.  Swag? Taken.  I mean, we are pretty much out of options at this point. 

For the record, I am fully against this unless we come up with a really good nickname.

Also, would we be the only D1 team to bring their star punter from a past team back to right the ship?  I bet we are.

You must not be reading my posts. Please keep posting. If you thought everyone was going to swoon all over the information, then you need to read the blog a bit more. That doesn't mean you shouldn't post insider info. Plus, when what you say is true, you can quote yourself and tell the haters to suck it! If you are wrong, you just say, "welp, that is what this old dude told me." It is best to not make crap up, but I don't think you did that.

You guys want to know how much donors know and are kept in the loop?  When Currie decided to let Frank go to SC without trying to keep him, the #1 BB donor wasn't informed that Frank was officially out until more than 24 hours after Frank had officially informed Currie he was leaving.

Oh, man, it would be sooooooooo weird to rehire Altman.  Maybe not a bad idea, though.

yeah, that was another funny part. "felt that he was pushed out". I don't know, I just felt like they were hinting that I should get out when they said stuff like, "GTFO" and "Hit the road jerk" and "You will be fired in one month so take whatever job you can find"

Sounds like Dana overreacted.

The most pervasive rumor of the last few years is that Bill hates Currie.  I have heard it from a beat writer, from donors, and from randoms.  Perhaps they are all recycling the same rumor.

It seems to me that we should at least consider the possibility that Bill does indeed hate Currie.

Man.  I'll never understand the Anybody But Weber crowd.  Is it that Weber was the guy who replaced Frank?  Is it his voice?  Altman has a lower lifetime winning percentage... lower winning percentage at his current school... won 19 conference games in 4 years at KSU (Weber won 14 games in 1 year)... and we're talking favorably about Altman now...

I always feel like I'm taking crazy pills when I read what this board has to say about Weber.

Yeah, no kidding. Who on earth would be surprised that the QB Snyder played in 7 games last season to be the frontrunner for the starting job in 2013?

Christ, you guys, I was just pointing out that the OP gave us the news about Sams we all wanted to hear (in spite of the stud reports on Waters).  Just thought it was worth a few  :excited: :excited: and instead it was crickets.

That tidbit was met with silence because we all expect Sams to start. It would be no different if the OP posted that Zimmerman would start at safety. If he posted that Waters has the inside track to being named starter, this thread would have taken a completely different direction.

What if Waters > Sams?  Not that it would be smart watching his passing game against Juco defenses as a valid basis of comparison, but it doesn't cost money to dream Waters could do that against Div I defenses.

Everything points to Sams.  History, style of play, and even the types of things the coaches have said in the media.

It's pretty clear the,coaches want Sams, but they're going to keep a fire under his ass for the next five months.

The point is that we know nothing at all that leads us to believe that Waters is actually better than Sams, as Panjandrum said all of the empirical evidence points to Sams being the frontrunner to start. So like I said the shock would be if we found out that Waters > Sams, not vice versa

Hope so, cause that'd mean he's a rip-snortin, hootenang, double-barrel, deep-dish dilly of a QB.  Which is what I want to have next year.

Just got off the phone with our biggest donor who just happens to be a huge football fan.  He says Sams makes Robert Griffin look like Collin Klein and that Waters makes Collin Klein look like Robert Griffin.  Long story short, Waters sucks when compared to Sams.

Considering the guy who bounces in and out of the #1 Ahearn Fund spot is pulling his support of KSU, I highly doubt this.

Actually heard from his closest confidants (multiple) that this was all cover to hide the fact that he had actually came in response to what he had seen and didn't want anyone to know.  Pretty smooth if you ask me.  "Nope, no oyster in my shorts, just overcome with emotion. Welp, best be going." :thumbs:

Lets just say NanoScales COO trying to defraud the federal government and causing it to close in Manhattan wasn't good for KSU.

I don't know what the desk scandal was. If it was the COO sending fake invoices to the DoD and Dept of HHS, then yes. All I heard was that was the final nail that caused NanoScale to close, then shortly there after I heard a suite in BSFS and the 4 center court, leather sideline fOOD seats will be becoming available. I have also heard that the previous owner of said seats has hit the #1 spot on the Ahearn list before, and the fact they had the 4 best seats in the fOOD leads me to believe that to be true.

there's a calculator on the ahearn fund site that tells you how much you need to donate to reach a certain ranking...I need to donate something like $10.7 million to get to #1  :sdeek:

no I'm basically bottom of the barrel young alumni status.  for some reason though it looks like it's only showing me what I need to get to #2 even though I'm putting in #1.  maybe it just knows that there's no way it'll ever happen and gives me #2 by default.
