Their last AD with KSU ties worked out well for them, and SZ seems to be doing big things in Lawrence.  Seems like an obvious choice.

If a sweet spot between all/most athletic facilities being built and Snyder retiring exists in the future, I hope they wait until then.

Will we be able to get the guy Texas just fired?  I don't know what he did wrong, but I like that he hires young coaches who've won and are aspiring.

That would be awesome.  It won't happen, though.  Currie is too much of a pencil head for UT, and too much like the guy they just fired.  Deloss Dodds was the perfect fit at UT.

Do you think the UT guys would have a tactful way of ending the interview when John says fiscal responsibility for the 7th time or would they just guffaw all texas stereotype-y and PI him into slinking out?

It's not so much that they dislike the coaches as much as it is the fact that the AD is not handling the big money donors well at all.

Yes, he is the biggest and main reason why our football program is where it is now, but the new shiny stuff we have would never have happened under the previous AD. Our stadium would look like Memorial stadium by now if it were not for Currie coming in, raising money, and getting things done. I never said Currie made K-State football great, I simply said he has been great for K-State football.

More of just a logical exercise. How much better could the athletic department be doing? It's been very profitable, has avoided any significant issues with NCAA compliance, has overseen major expansions and renovations of multiple facilities, and made us one of like four schools ever to get a titletown (yes, with oscar Weber).

So if we can get someone who does all that and makes a home run basketball coach hire, I'm all on board. Just easier said than done.

I think he has done a great job changing the athletic department. I was okay with the oscar hire at the time, and it had nothing to do with Currie.  We are fiscally in great shape; the same kind of thing we make fun of ku for not being. We have great facilities being built and planned; the same kind of thing we make fun of ku for not having. Would we all rather be in that shape?
I know he can be replaced; we all can. The point is, though, why drive away someone who can do so much good for the cause? I haven't seen a list of great AD's available.

People give Currie way too much credit for fundraising and building stuff. I mean our revenues have increased dramatically through tv deals and such, and coaches salaries at K-State have remained relatively the same. I mean freaking Iowa State was able to build onto their stadium. Has he done a good job with money, sure. But your main job is winning at basketball and football, something he has failed at 50%  rate.

I mean freaking Iowa State was able to build onto their stadium. Has he done a good job with money, sure. But your main job is winning at basketball and football, something he has failed at 50%  rate.

I know!  Clearly no influence from Currie.  Look how KU has parlayed all that extra cash into new fac...oh wait.
I agree. Currie is total trash. Get him out of here!

Never said he was trash, just saying we give him too much credit for building stuff. Most competent schools around the country are building stuff. Comparing ourselves to a school that currently has 30 31 game road losing streak and is still paying a coach 2.5 mil a year to not coach there seems below us.

Currie landed in a sitch that would take monumental dumbassery to eff up, and he has managed to get us 30% of the way there.  He did a great job with fundraising, though, which is what the book was on him when coming in.  He was the money man at Tenn as the assist.

only 30% the way where? What is the other 70% that another AD is supposed to get us?
30% of the way to screwed up.  I weigh bb at 30 and fb at 70.

The point is KU is making the same $ from those contracts (maybe more with T3 rights for basketball but :dunno: ). They're paying a former coach, but their current coach makes squat for a  D1 HC. If the TV contracts and Big 12 revenue were the main drivers, then KU wouldn't be so woefully behind us right now.

Pollard continuing to employ that clown show is ridiculous. I get incredibly annoyed with the basketball board's continued obsession with Currie not firing Weber if he has a bad season just so he won't have to admit a mistake but then I look at this crap show in Ames and I have to eat it. Pollard gave Rhoads a 10 year extension when he was 17-20 and in the four years following it has gotten worse each year. They have never had more than 3 conference wins, they haven't finished above .500 since year two and even then it was a whole 1 game over. He is in year 7 and he is in a must win with a team that is projected to go 0-12. Unmitigated disaster and exactly what kstate basketball fans are afraid of.

Well Currie has yet to do anything that bad. Yes, Weber is bad, but not Paul Rhodes bad (yet). Unless Weber can have a solid winning season this year, he's probably gone, so we do not need to worry about a 10 yr extension for him.

As a stakeholder (Not as big as some here), I honestly dont care if K-State Athletics is profitable or not, Dax will probably kill me for that statement. But I care much more for wins and losses than how big of a profit we made. I mean i guess we can raise most profit banners, that seems like a fun thing to do.

There is a lot of things in that article to digest and the Currie thing isn't even at the top, if Luck wants back into a college athletic department, the job is his.

I was wondering if someone was going to take a run at Herman for hiring his buddy to be the OC who just got shut out in the biggest game of the year. What the hell is that? Also Tillman Fertitta is a rough ridin' idiot if he really thinks the other schools in this conference would take Houston against what's potentially best for them because Fenves had to stroke the tiny little egos of Houston people in Austin. If there is one thing we learned in 2016 it has to be how small time the people running the University of Houston are. We dodged a major bullet keeping them out.

In 2009 I sat in an auction for a restaurant chain located in Southern Cal (Claim Jumper) which Tilman and his team won. The auction itself lasted all day and had I think 4 bidders. The final winning bid was somewhere in the neighborhood of $60 million.

The day before the auction, Tilman showed up at my office trying to cut a deal prior to going through the auction. My side and his side were sitting across the table from each other and he was bullshitting us about other bidders not showing up for the auction when all of the sudden his phone rings. He stands up to answer and is saying "oh? Oh realy? well good news for us." and then sits back down. Amazingly he happened to get a call right when he was meeting with us. He proceeds to tell me and my team that the last bidder just decided they didn't want the restaurant chain and we should take his deal because if not, he wasn't showing up tomorrow at the auction. We politely declined and choose to have the auction. All 4 bidders showed up and he eventually paid the aforementioned $60 mil.

His bid the day before? $28 million.

They've courted Oliver Luck for a long, long time.  It's hard to imagine that not coming to fruition at some point, especially if they consolidated everything into a VP sort of role.

I don't think Currie has the ability to run an organization of that size and scope with his personality.  He's a good plant manager, but he's not a CEO.

If you follow athletic department funding and fund raising, no "poor" school could raise the kind of private money that Currie has raised.   You can't be a "poor" school and have access to those kinds of funds within your donor base.    Just because previous AD's lacked both the will and the ability to raise that kind of money, doesn't make K-State "poor".    For example, it wouldn't have taken much at all to grow the Ahearn Fund like Currie has, but people like Tim Weiser weren't interested in that, because that would mean, you know, doing a little marketing, and actually engaging more people.   That deters from planning deer hunting trips and getting the Ol King Ranch shined up.   K-State has had $62 million in private contributions in the last 2 fiscal years alone between the Ahearn Fund and capital giving.   Other AD's at similar schools would kill for that kind of private giving. 

Some schools considered to be "rich" have 2x-3x-4x the debt load than K-State, and only have the kind of money they have because they have huge stadiums they can stuff with more ticket buying poors.
