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.

imo k-state could promote Laird Veatch and not skip a beat in the fundraising/facilities dept

We could hire Mack Brown to be our AD and fundraising would improve.

Bill would get Mack to hire Sean for sure.

would Brad work for Veatch? More importantly, could Veatch bring Brent home?

The interview would be so lol.

idk, this sounds similar to "anyone can win at Texas"
-
god, i rough ridin' hope so.

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?
-
I would just like to see what he wears to the interview. Does he even own a suit that doesn't look like Col. Sanders lent it to him?

Huh, I just read the texas thread and saw Strong was like 55. I thought he was 40-ish.

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.

Currie leaving would set us back about 20 years. Sorry guys, I'm on the tuck train for Currie. Other than his basketball screw ups, he's been great for football and the other sports. AND without him, Sean gets the nod for head coach. Nobody wants that.
-
LHC Bill Snyder has been great for football dumbass.
-
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.
-

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.

only 30% the way where? What is the other 70% that another AD is supposed to get us?

saying that Currie is better than the previous AD, is like saying Snyder is better than Ron Prince.

A good HR person would be able to identify the good and bad things Currie does and find someone who can keep doing the good things and would correct the bad. Raise money and make relatively nice things, but don't be a complete eff-up w/the talent. Pretty large intersection set on that venn diagram.

He has completely ruined 50% of his revenue generating sports. :dunno:

I know. But KSU can delegate replacing him to a good HR person that can find one of the hundreds (thousands?) of people who can meet the criteria and manpow5 can relax about Currie leaving.
-
Currie leaving would be the second worst thing for K-State, behind Snyder leaving. Sure, maybe you end up hiring someone better, but the odds are much higher you get someone worse.
-
the odds are much higher you get someone worse.
Are your straight stats based on a sample size of Currie, Krause, Weiser and Urick?

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.

Plug and play.

Yup, we go back to the way Bill likes it. No frills. Just hard work and 5 hearts.
-
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'm surprised soccer dorks don't love, Currie. Weber is garbage, but Currie hired a guy who helped us X and O our way to our first basketball title in forever. Saying he's only done 50% is so stupid.

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.

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.
Plus, we're not just talking about shiny new things. K-State has built this stuff while staying near the top of the lists for profitable athletic departments. Not many schools in the country can say the same.

Look around the conference, KU is a pretty clear outlier. Compare to what Currie is doing here with what confirmed dufus Jamie Pollard is doing.

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.

If the TV contracts and Big 12 revenue were the main drivers, then KU wouldn't be so woefully behind us right now.
Plus, we're not just talking about shiny new things. K-State has built this stuff while staying near the top of the lists for profitable athletic departments. Not many schools in the country can say the same.
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.

Well Currie has yet to do anything that bad.
He's going to have a hard time hiring a football or basketball coach that has comparable options, so the things he's done that have made it that way are pretty bad.
I guess I do not understand your response, please elaborate, Trim.
LHC LHC Bill Snyder and Frank Martin have giant threads on goCOACH.com about what a piece of crap he is and to avoid working for him.

Any ISU fan that looks at him in a positive light is just mind-numbingly stupid.
How long have you had that post waiting? It was executed well. :thumbs:
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.
Currie ran off our best coach in 20 years, who left for a much worse job, and then hired a proven loser to replace him that had no business even being considered for the opening. I would say that's pretty bad.

Hey, I hated the Weber higher as much as the rest of you did. Does not mean Currie has been a horrible AD. He's done a lot of good things for us and I think the good oit weighs the bad. He's also the only thing standing between hiring sean and not hiring sean. Because you know Bill will want an AD that will bend to his every wish and the University will give him that.

The receipts reported on Monday are eye-popping, everything from 91 shots of tequila on one tab (for a big crowd, but still) to another that included eight shots and five beers for Sarkisian and three assistants that were all consumed before 11:53 a.m.

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.
