i wish i could be more positive, but i'm hearing that we probably won't. My source is the biggest individual donor to the athletic department whose name does not appear on a building at the university, some of you can easily figure out who it is. As of this morning this is what he believes -
Currie - Currie absolutely wants to make his mark hiring the next football coach and feels as if the facility improvements have him in a good position. According to my friend, money will not be an issue, he has $$$ commitments from several big donors. BTW, unlike most on GPC, the donors like the guy and have given him a pass for hiring Weber but won't be so charitable if the successor to Snyder is anything less than a "homerun" hire. There is, and has been, a short list of candidates to replace Coach Snyder and BV is not on the list (too much baggage).
Weber - A trip to the NCAA Tournament buys him another year but anything less than that and they part ways. At the time Weber was hired Underwood was not a serious candidate because he was seen as part of Frank's "gang" (fair or not) and the university had to distance itself from some off the court issues that were associated with the previous staff. Evidently there was a shady, although highly successful and influential, amateur coach from the Kansas City area whose dealings were threatening to compromise the program as well as the university.
The basketball short list consists mainly of Henson and some top assistants from P5 schools. Currie, like every other AD who's coach is on the hot seat, puts out feelers to the agents of possible candidates and has been told that Archie Miller is waiting for the Ohio State job to open and Steve Forbes' has his sights set on a couple of SEC jobs that could open up in the next year or two.
Wildcard - The wildcard in all of this is the possibility of Currie taking another job, which my guy thinks is unlikely. If he were to take another job nothing would change until a new AD is in place. If the basketball team doesn't make the tournament, and Weber is retained, that almost certainly means that Currie has agreed to another job.

It's amazing isn't it? He's is such a rough ridin' dork. I cannot believe this guy got two P5 jobs.
-
Also, some guy on GPC claims that Currie is a leading candidate for the Arizona job (saying "Source = A") ...and apparently there is a news article someplace saying that, so maybe his A source is that he reads the newspaper, but whatevs. I was delighted to see that, and it lends a little context to the quote that sys added in the OP that seems to reference Currie leaving (he apparently interviews all the time, as the rumors go).

Oh, I've seen it plenty of times. Even referenced it in one of the recent testy westy threads. I was lol'n given the context of the thread and not remembering if the guy in the background analyzing the confrontation was Currie or Gilbert. Imagining that it was Currie is much funnier.

I'd never appreciated how high up our own snake boy's sources were.

I didn't see anything on the basketball board for about the last 2 years, save for the last month when I checked back as I started to smell oscar Weber's blood in the water.

It's time for you to make your presence felt again, starting (god willing) next wednesday at the sprint center.

Arizona AD job was filled Friday by guy from Central Michigan.

Ah, that must be the part about Currie isn't leaving.

That poster has been posting crap like this from their "source" every 4-5 months and is always wrong. They wait just long enough for everyone to forget the last time they posted something wrong, then make another "source" post.
If I had to bet on it, I'd bet they make post like that just to screw with people.
-
Every place that Currie would leave for has money, and his specialty is acquiring money. He literally has no other skill that an AD should have. Think of who would hire Currie, and then whether or not he would view that job worth leaving KState for.
-
Wazzu.

Excellent point
-

at some point it becomes about finding a job better than not having a job.

Forgive the stupid question. When he says Henson does he mean Steve Henson?

If he hasn't been fired or pushed out yet, what makes you think it will ever happen? If he is going to be pushed out because of cratering the basketball program, why would they wait until after he hires oscar's replacement? If he's already hired oscar's replacement what good does pushing him out do?
-
Forgive the stupid question. When he says Henson does he mean Steve Henson?
Yep.
I mean it's not great, but way better than the other Henson.
-

we'll have to replace the replacement before all that long.
i can't answer for why he hasn't been removed by now. kstate does a lot of stupid things.

If it meant someone besides Currie gets to hire his replacement it's worth it.

If true, it is very concerning that our big donors think Currie is great.
-
I'm assuming you fire Currie now people are good with a Jank/Fox/Henson hire. Myers is much more apt to hire one of these guys than Currie is. Currie doesn't give a damn about those dudes, I'm sure there are some Kansas white guy ties to Myers and the families of all three of those guys.

I agree with MIR about Meyers.

I'm assuming you "don't fire Currie people" are good with a oscar Weber hire.

Can you start posting better?

Could we hire the Utah coach? They're usually good.

Lol, at the "fire currie now" people. MIR, chingon and I are "fire currie 5 years ago" people.
Currie shold be fired no matter how Weber does next year.

Lol, at the absolute minimum Currie needs to have a warm seat.
You don't mishandle a major program as badly as he has and just continue to get handed free passes.

I'm pretty conceited and just wanted to be acknowledged. It feels great. Only a very small step below how good I would have felt if we still had a salvageable basketball program.

Nope, this camp is for those who've been consistently saying for almost a half-decade or more that currie should be out on his ass. And chingon and mir are two of our head counselors.

i'm pretty sure i wanted him killed, but not until after he shoved martin out, i don't think.

Good find and I know what you're doing here. Yes, I forgot how rough ridin' furious I was about the Jamar/Frank thing, time softened me, thanks for the reminder, I needed it.
BUT
I remember all the years and years K-State and K-State athletics were run like the family farm and I'm scared as hell we're going to go back to that if we hire another AD right now, with this U.P. I remember our shitty football program, our cornpone simple lack of media savvy, our lack of give a crap about basketball. Guys in the 90s-early 2010s we had the most non descript athletic department in America despite a baller ass football program. I don't want that again.
Can we just get a strong leader, with high expectations for our programs and the identity of the department, but who isn't a social awkward weirdo?
THIS IS ALL I WANT GUYS. I'd do it but I don't think I can get central and NW Kansas farmers to give me money.

it's almost like people forget every athletic director we've had with the exception of steve miller and john currie were terrible*
*no offense to bk (rip) but he was writing contracts on bar napkins
but yeah, set up a lynch mob and let's take currie down
but also yeah, people aren't forgetting that our ad's have sucked, they just don't know any better
-
Man, could you guys imagine being on the right side of this thing all a long? Must feel great.
-

History says no. We've joked about Currie doing the numbers/books tasks only w/others doing human things, but it's probably too late for that sort of reorganization.
-
I don't want Currie to be fired. Sorry. (not).
-
I don't remember which thread FWN posted it in but the fact we are now a new coach every 6 years type of bb program is balanced by the fact we haven't had an AD leave to for another AD job since???
Off the top of my head - BK went back to the admin side, Weiser went to the NCAA, Max retired, I can't remember the guy between Miller and Max, Miller went to Nike and thats I all I know.
I am not sure what that says, maybe it is more common than I would think.
-
it says we hire ad's that don't have the option of going somewhere else other than pheasant hunting and there's a collective of short sighted 'gloids here who want the best one we've had in any definable length of time, gone

It's always interesting when people don't recognize that it was our former pres, our football coach and wealthy alums were major catalysts in our recent facilities progress. Coach and boosters particularly on New Vanier. Pres on WSC.
There are other AD's out there that can do such things.
Weiser had no vision and Urick was afraid of his own shadow but they did what Wefald and Snyder told them to do.
It's a new dynamic now at KSU, and we can't have an AD that reportedly, coaches aren't big fans of.

This must really suck for the people who wanted him fired.

I knew he would never get fired but this is much better than him hanging around until the General takes permanent R&R and extending oscar and/or another laughable basketball coaching search.

holy eff, it's christmas (if true).

it's true! this is better than if kstate had kp30ntournied.
