Title: Weird how Snyder can't attract and retain talented young assistant coaches.
Post by: slimz on January 01, 2011, 07:30:07 PM
Quote
Bielema said that because he does not have a family, he hired coaches at Wisconsin who could fill that void; many of his assistants have three or four children. Bielema says he tries not to keep his coaches chained to their offices. He recalled staring at the walls while working for LHC Bill Snyder at Kansas State because he felt as if he had to be in his office, even with nothing to do. Bielema said he opened up many practices and meals to his coaches’ families.

“I was looking to surround myself with good family guys because I didn’t have one, and I wanted to breed that culture,” he said. “That’s what makes my situation work. I can live vicariously through them.”

Powertards Reply:  The only way to win at K-State is to work from 6am to Midnight every day and have a head coach micro manage every aspect of the program.

Glad those 18 hour work days are paying off for a 6-7 win season. What if our coaches worked 9-4?

Here's the thing, all those guys he had who were decent coaches never realized that they really would NOT be fired if they just said "eff it" and knocked off at 7 or so.

It's the crap ones who seem to have figured out that Old Balls is too much of a coward to pull the trigger.

Heard rumor once that Bill pursued very heavily the idea that a trained psychologist could hypnotize him into thinking he had slept or something.  Like tricking your body into thinking you were sleeping when you were actually working.

Christ, he's a Savant on offense, but this current AC situation has me thinking that we dont have much longer left before he forgets Tate's name and starts calling Currie "Max."

I want Leavitt as HC and Bill as OC....but make Bill work from the home.   We could dedicate one of the GA jobs to simply printing Bill's emails and delivering game film to his home.

I wish we had a hip, young black head coach that talked the big talk and would schedule us some big time non con games
Preferably a guy with a shaved head who ran a west coast offense
Instead of working the assistants to death he could shazbot! the wives of the assistants

The miitary has a mandatory retirement age.  Maybe we could get Gerald Meyers to explain the virtues of this to Bill, and sorta coax him into the car on the way to the home?

You know exactly what Bill's response will be....he'll trot out Joe Pa examples.   Jesus, Bill prolly thinks that cause that one guy he knew who smoked lived to 90, that cigs are harmless.

There are some quotes from Bobby Stoops floating around that are very similar to what Brett said   :frown:

Have seen Bob's quotes and Mangino has said or insinuated similar. Practices like this and stories about neurotic attention to detail and being obtuse with the media, etc used to be admirable. Now they just perpetuate what a pain in the ass the guy is to work for.

Of course.  See Spurrier and his work days revolving around his tee time in Florida and then getting criticized in the NFL for not working long hours.

Then again, given the choice, who do you think people would rather work for all else being equal?  There is a quote from The Wire that comes to mind:  "Marimow does not cast off talent lightly. He heaves it away with great force."

It is always difficult to keep talented assistants, particularly at K-State, but at this point there is just no arguing that the situation is unacceptable.  The evidence is overwhelming on a variety of fronts.

Very true. And I don't think you need to work ridiculous hours to win D1 (or any level) football games.  Even at K-State.

If LHC Bill Snyder truly cared about K-State more than his own ego, he would have stepped aside after the '98 season and let Bob Stoops take over. I appreciate everything that everyone did for K-State football after 1989, but Snyder is an a$$ and needs to go.

So, Snyder should have left after taking the team within a fumble of the NC game and turned to program over to Stoops?  That makes so little sense it's not even funny.  How far apart are your eyes?

stepping aside for stoops after 98 is dumb on a million different fronts. i do wish that snyder would've turned his attention to detail on himself and looked into why guys like venables and mangino left and then done something about it. he's amazing at a lot of things, but evaluating himself and the job he does hiring and maintaining a staff apparently is not one of them.

Everyone expects to work long hours at the D1 level.   There's long hours and then there's ridiculous hours that likely are either completely non productive and/or to the point of over thinking everything causing paralysis by analysis.

When our good assistants jump ship, the average shirt tuck would rather attempt to defend Snyder by making an asinine statement like "He Quit", as an indictment on that person's character...instead of focusing on why that talented assistant quit and why the pattern perpetually repeats itself under Snyder.

it's an issue because it drove away the winning.  it's the sole reason the success stopped.  people (i.e. 'tards) overlook it because it's bill and they have this perception of him that isn't reality at all.

part of him coming back was that he was suppose to change his recruiting strategies (target kids before they graduate HS maybe) and the way he manages his staff (i think his rep scared VK off, maybe not actions).  I don't know maybe you were busy in high school or weren't a KSU fan back then.

Bottom line is that CFB is such a 'people job' nowadays and superior athletes will almost always beat over-prepared mediocre ones. I think this a good job in the landscape of things - similar to Texas Tech - but our recent HCs have been varying degrees of being insufferable to work and play for.

The program needs an infusion of talent - on D most of all - so no VK would not be a difference maker even if he stayed. We have enough X and O crumudgeons...and sadly a bunch of coaches who have played for and been in the program for years who can't seem to sell it to players worth a crap.

So, Snyder should have left after taking the team within a fumble of the NC game and turned to program over to Stoops?  That makes so little sense it's not even funny.  How far apart are your eyes?

I'm thinking ArchE should be tested for Downs Syndrome, he thinks Snyder should have retired after the 1998 season.  Doesn't he know we nearly played for the national championship?  Not funny dude.

You do realize that Stoops has won 7 big12 titles at OU. I would gladly take Bob Stoops and 3 Big 12 Titles from 1999 until now compared to the cluster we've experienced with Prince and OB 2.0.

Not a fan of Bill coming back, but was tard-ish in hoping he would take advantage of the opportunity to reinvent himself. That's apparently not happened much, or otherwise he's having a hard time overcoming perceptions based on staff maneuvers.
   
note really sure its fair to judge bill 2.0 that way.  1st year back was a late start and this year VK and Lud went before he could reinvent himself.  Ironically I think firing someone will go just as far to rehab/remake his image.
Two problems here...

1. Your first statement is flawed in that it assumed the WRSOAT would be more successful with more time.  They suck.  More time to suck isn't going bring better recruits.

2. Your second statement is completely rough ridin' irrelevant.  He's never fired anyone and he never will.  We can only hope that Cosh has enough honor to  :goodbyecruelworld: for the greater good.

the greater good for chris cosh is to milk this cash cow for all he can, he wil never have a job with this much responsibility again.

is English your first language?  I'm thinking no.

WRSOAT wasn't WRSOAT if we would have been able to retain VK and Lud.  To the 2nd he needs to remake his image to secure any legacy, one way to do that would be to fire someone.  Obviously something he hasn't done before, just like recruiting a QB before they have graduated high school (exaggeration).

Hence the entire point of this thread, Snyder's repeating failure to retain quality assistants.

 . . . and the repeated failure to NOT send well compensated, under achieving, in over their heads assistants packing.  

But even with new bosses and his somewhat watered down powers, Snyder still has legions of shirt tucks who have been using the "what ever Coach does is fine by me" mantra as a battering ram against all detractors for over a decade now.   Even though it has been shown time and time again that "whatever coach does" is not always in the best long term interest of K-State football.

As I've said before we also paying a price on other fronts, and will pay a price financially to correct some facilities issues that could have been easily remedied years ago had Snyder not been such a pain in the ass to deal with . . . things that Snyder himself wants changed now.    But that's the problem when you give a football coach nearly limitless powers as the previous dumbass administration did.    Now those needed things have to go back in line because Football got millions of dollars in facilities improvements done just the way Snyder wanted them, and they're not going to spend millions more now  undoing what Snyder wanted, but now doesn't like;  it's going to have to wait.   This is just one example.

If Dickey is considered one of our more valued coaches right now, OL jobs are open at Cal (under Lud), 'Zona (alma mater and has coached there), and Utah (his old job). Something to keep an eye on.

If Time Weiser was to be believed, Snyder was offered essentially an entirely new Vanier Complex back in the early 00's and he didn't want it.   Didn't want to deal with the hassle of putting the football program in temp facilities even if it meant moving back into a Vanier complex that had been gutted from top to bottom, and completely over hauled from a layout perspective.   Instead, what happened was a whole series of renovations to various parts of the facility that were all done one or two areas at a time.   All that did was create was a series of nice rooms/areas of various forms and functions cobbled together in a rat maze.   Now, he complains about how Vanier isn't that efficent for moving around large groups of football players.    The thing is, all those renovations, once you add them all up totaled over $10 million dollars.    So now some of the stuff that Snyder wants gets to move to the back of the line. 

He also wants a new practice complex built across the street from Vanier.    They're looking at doing a whole bunch of stuff that will go along as future phases to the West Stadium project, but completely overhauling Vanier as in gutting and completely rebuilding is out there on the backside of the time table now.    They aren't going to go in and tear up stuff that they just spent millions of dollars on.
