1A and 1B.  Either would be phenomenal.

I'd probably give the slight nod to Fuente.  He's proving last year wasn't a fluke.  Memphis is downright nasty.

The UH vs Memphis game should be called the KSU cats coach bowl. The loser comes to KSU because the winning coach is going to get a real big job.

Herman spent time at ISU, so he's kicked around the conference.  Fuente is from Tulsa and coached at TCU.

Both have Texas ties.  Fuente may be more likely to keep the Southeast pipeline going.  He does work in TN, AL, MS, GA, etc. already.

I think we'd be more likely to go after Philip Montgomery if we're really going to go that route.

I mean, you could do worse than Briles' protege.

It isn’t uncommon for TCU coach Gary Patterson to exchange a text message with former assistant and current Memphis coach Justin Fuente. But it’s rare, Patterson said, that the two actually connect on the phone.

They did Sunday.

If you think they were celebrating Memphis’ historic win over Ole Miss on Saturday, you don’t know either man. Fuente wanted to pick Patterson’s brain on how to manage practice and the team in a short week. Memphis, now ranked No. 18 in the Associated Press poll, plays at Tulsa on Friday night in what lines up as a tricky, hangover-type game for the highest-ranked Group of 5 team.

“That’s just who he is,” said Patterson, who hired Fuente in 2007, when his only coaching experience was at Illinois State. “He wanted to know about a short week instead of talking about a big win. … He’s a hard worker, a good listener. That’s why I hired him. I knew he could manage a room the best.”

Fuente isn’t talking about it, but others are talking about him. The coaching carousel, as it sometimes does, began early in 2015.

It’s only Oct. 19, and there are already four Power 5 openings, with, almost certainly, more to come.

Beginning with the aforementioned Fuente, we’ll highlight college football’s hottest commodities, who just so happen to be Group of 5 coaches in the middle of outstanding seasons. But first, a reset of the current major job climate.



Currently open: Illinois, Maryland, South Carolina and USC

Likely opening (likeliest to least): Virginia, Miami, Purdue

Possibly opening (likeliest to least): Syracuse, Rutgers, Indiana, Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt, Iowa State, Kansas State

1. Fuente, Memphis

Fuente was already well-known in search circles, but his team’s 37-24 win over Ole Miss locked him in atop the group of coaching prospects who will be hotly pursued.

The score doesn’t tell the whole story, really. Taking cues from a coach known for his poise, the Tigers didn’t panic after falling behind 14-0 in the first five-plus minutes. Later, they were physical, disciplined and conditioned enough to sustain a 70-yard field goal drive that ate up more than half the fourth quarter. It was something you’d expect the big, bad SEC team to do to the American program -- not the other way around. That’s telling of the program’s identity.

If you didn’t already know Fuente is for real, now you do. You hear lots of new-ish coaches talk about “culture change” and that sort of thing, but few first-time coaches can illustrate it the way Fuente can.

Memphis had won five of 36 games when he took over. He's won 23 in his first 3.5 seasons -- including the current 13-game win streak that extends back to a 3-3 start in 2014. The win over Ole Miss was the program’s first against a ranked program since Peyton Manning and Tennessee in 1996. It was no fluke, either. The better team won.

Where he makes sense

This is the tricky part. The Tulsa native and former Patterson assistant would seem suited for a higher end Big 12 job. But unless something crazy happens, places such as Oklahoma and Oklahoma State aren’t opening in this cycle. This wasn’t coming from Patterson, but I’ve been told by those who know Fuente that the SEC doesn’t seem a likely landing place. The intensity of recruiting in that league isn’t for everyone.

“You have to know what you’re getting into,” an SEC coach told me.

Patterson’s feedback was that Fuente should go where he feels drawn in terms of fit, regardless of the league.

“You have to make that decision for yourself, whenever that time comes,” Patterson said.

2. Tom Herman, Houston

Herman is 6-0 in his first season as a head coach. Of course, the biggest drawback for a bigger job is that he’s in his first season as a head coach.

Even so, ADs have been monitoring him in earnest since he became Urban Meyer’s playcaller at Ohio State in 2012 -- and especially as Herman helped the Buckeyes to the national title last season, using three quarterbacks from August to January, and won the Broyles Award as the country’s top assistant.

Herman, 40, inherited organizational skills from Meyer, but he’s also got some salesmanship to him. His staff construction has impressed a number of peers, and that’s why gaining head-coaching experience – even if it’s one year – means something, compared to up-and-coming coordinators.

Herman’s $2.25 million buyout, which is in effect for the first three years of his five-year deal, is a hurdle in the minds of ADs, but it will not be a deal-breaker for the right school.

Where he makes sense

Presuming the interviews go well, when the time comes in a month or so, I am under the impression that both Maryland and South Carolina will find a way to take care of the buyout. Herman isn’t a perfect regional fit for the Terps or Gamecocks, but his energy will translate to most any program. Look at the way Herman incorporated skilled, Texas-savvy recruiters when he hadn’t coached in the state since 2008. If you can manage a state as big as Texas, Maryland and South Carolina are going to feel like a handful of counties.

But it also means you have to be better outside the state, and Herman knows both the Midwest and Southeast from his coaching background.

Bear in mind: Like Fuente, and especially with the way he’s recruiting at UH, Herman could very well hold out for a better job.

3. Matt Rhule, Temple

Those who know Rhule say he aspires to coach at his alma mater, Penn State. Well, PSU isn’t open right now, but it would behoove Rhule to find an intermediate Power 5 job as a middle ground for resume-building.

The next two weeks will be proving grounds for Rhule’s current program: The Owls are on a short week Thursday at East Carolina – welcome to Group-of-5 life, right? – and then they host Notre Dame on Halloween. Get through that 2-0, and Rhule will be move toward Fuente on this list.

The 27-10 season-opening win against PSU already demonstrated Temple isn’t standing down against quality competition.

Where he makes sense

Maryland. But will Maryland figure that out?

“You know those situations where a school thinks it can get Coach X, Y and Z – and it really can’t get any of them, and it starts panicking when it’s down to its third, fourth, fifth choice?” an agent told me recently. “Searches require self-awareness. You’ve got to know who you are.”

Maryland, namely backed by Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank, wants to make a big splash; everyone knows that. But sometimes a smart hire, such as Rhule, trumps a sexy one. Learn from Tennessee’s mistake when it went after Lane Kiffin.

4. Matt Campbell, Toledo

The fourth-year coach defies logic: He’s just 35, and yet he is regarded in coaching circles as a mature program-builder and teacher of discipline.

In a league that tried to base its image on crazy midweek games – think: MACtion – 6-0 Toledo is a respectable 31st in yards-per-play defense, and it’s seventh in scoring, despite games – and wins – against Arkansas and Iowa State. A mid-November tilt with high-powered Bowling Green is the biggest remaining challenge for the Rockets.

As an aside, the race for a New Year’s Six bowl berth is going to be great theater. We’re going to wind up comparing Power 5 wins, and Toledo’s are likely to stack up well if the Rockets can keep winning in the MAC.

Where he makes sense

Like Temple, Toledo is an Under Armour school. Campbell makes a great deal of sense for Maryland, as well. Rhule and Campbell both look and sound like coaches who are going to win a bunch of games on the Power 5 level.

5. Jeff Brohm, Western Kentucky head coach

If you like offense, the 44-year-old Brohm – Louisville’s quarterback in the early 1990s – is almost certainly your guy.

Fuente and Memphis knocked off an OK SEC team at home, but Brohm will turn heads if his Hilltoppers can hang with LSU on the road for even a half. It would be shocking if WKU didn’t at least score, considering it is sixth in the country in both yards per play and scoring.

Games against Power 5 opponents become showcases or de facto auditions. Like with Fuente or Rhule, this is an opportunity for Brohm.

Where he makes sense

Whoever needs the sizzle the most, a.k.a. the AD most desiring offense. Maybe it’s time Iowa State goes all-in on spread and tempo concepts -- not just the current staff playing catchup.

Next five

Chad Morris, SMU head coach

He’s 1-5, but everyone knows how far SMU has come in a year. Still, I would like to see where he takes the Ponies from here. If or when Kevin Sumlin moves on, Morris would seem to be a fit at his alma mater. Morris has a $3 million buyout. Like Herman, if the right, deep-pocketed school needs a coach, that will not be a deterrent.

Lane Kiffin, Alabama offensive coordinator

Enough time removed from USC failure? What he’s done with so-so quarterback play in 1.5 seasons at Bama has been pretty remarkable. And surely he has learned applicable lessons from his boss in Tuscaloosa. Surely.

P.J. Fleck, Western Michigan head coach

If the Broncos were better than 3-3, his name would have appeared above. Fleck, 34, is a ball of energy – and sometimes he’s criticized for it in coaching circles. (Just like Penn State’s James Franklin, for one.) But think of a program such as Purdue, which could greatly use someone pumping life into it. There are certain guys who can make any school seem cool, regardless of circumstance or reality, and Fleck is one.

Everett Withers, James Madison head coach


I'm hearing more and more buzz for Withers, who guided UNC through the onset of its NCAA adversity and is currently 16-4 at JMU (7-0 this season). Withers is 52, and he has one of the youngest staffs in football. (Disclamer: I wrote this before GameDay announced it is going to JMU this week. I swear.)

Dino Babers, Bowling Green head coach

The Falcons, as mentioned earlier in regard to the MAC race, are one of the most entertaining teams in Division I college football. They’re mid-major Baylor.

That became evident when quarterback Matt Johnson and the offense went for 11 plays of 20-plus yards in a season-opening loss to Tennessee. From there, BG went on to get Power 5 wins at Maryland and Purdue.

The obvious takeaway there: If you’re looking for a new coach in the Big Ten, Babers already knows how to get conference victories.

Memphis doesn't have the coinage or the facilities to outdue K-State.   They only way they can out due a K-State salary offer is for some booster to step up. 

From a rankings perspective Herman is recruiting better, but Houston has better facilities.

I look at that list of likely openings, and I'd like our chances for Fuente if we ponied up the cash and moved fast (i.e. 12/7).

Yeah maybe, I just in my gut don't think Snyder retires after this year, or that ADJC has the fortitude to force him out.

We don't have to outbid Memphis or Houston. We have to outbid the perception that some major program is going to come snatch them up in a year or two.

yeah, but I think both guys are in for a payday of that size whether we come calling or not. at that point we either have to pay more than the other person or be the better job. and we aren't going to to be the better job.

Let's say we don't get our first, second, or even third choice. At the end of the day, K-State is not a very hard job. There are tons of assistants out there who would make a fine head coach here. Hell, Ron Prince took the job and got Josh Freeman to commit like a week later, and hired 2 coaches that went on to be head coaches in the NFL and Penn State. Our facilities are much better now, so we should be able to do better than Prince. I think the majority of coaches out there could win 6-7 games per year at K-State. We just need a little bit of luck to find someone who can win 8-10 per year.

If Snyder retires at an awkward time with a limited pool of good replacements, I wonder if Currie would consider making Sean interim HC just to bide time.

Currently open: Illinois, Maryland, South Carolina and USC

Likely opening (likeliest to least): Virginia, Miami, Purdue

Only the USCs are clearly a better job and have made the same commitment to football that we have.  Maryland is a bit of wild card with the UA guy but he didn't have enough sway to get them to hire Leach 2011.

Bob Stitt--Montana HC. This guy looks like he buries his money in the backyard and has an unbelievably strong handshake without even trying.

Previously: head coach at Colorado School of Mines, OC at Harvard, OC at Northern Colorado.

Known for: being an offensive mastermind, using advanced stats to make decisions re: onside kicks/going for it on fourth down (was 19 of 25 on 4th down in 2014), loving his wife deeply but probably not talking to her much at dinner every night because that's just not who he is.

Pros:
-Runs a very QB-friendly system
-_FAN would probably love him
-Gettable
-1-0 against NDSU

Cons:
-Spent most of his career out West or in the Northeast. Gross.
-Probably doesn't show much affection to his kids

Bob Stitt--Montana HC. This guy looks like he buries his money in the backyard and has an unbelievably strong handshake without even trying.

Previously: head coach at Colorado School of Mines, OC at Harvard, OC at Northern Colorado.

Known for: being an offensive mastermind, using advanced stats to make decisions re: onside kicks/going for it on fourth down (was 19 of 25 on 4th down in 2014), loving his wife deeply but probably not talking to her much at dinner every night because that's just not who he is.

Pros:
-Runs a very QB-friendly system
-_FAN would probably love him
-Gettable
-1-0 against NDSU

Cons:
-Spent most of his career out West or in the Northeast. Gross.
-Probably doesn't show much affection to his kids

Katdaddy you are the best poster on this blog not named Tom by far, but Stitt is a DITR coach for a DITR program. Plus, going for it on fourth down and kicking a bunch of wacky onside kicks would be just deluxe.


Would actually love to hear _FAN's take on the guy.

Venables seems gettable and would be viewed pretty positively overall I think. Would not complain if Currie went that route. The only question in my mind is whether Bill is retiring after this year or next. I think we will be surprising against Baylor (but lose) and manage 3 wins out of the soft final part of the schedule, so a lot of people might perceive improvement even if it's not really there.

Who is this "Al Golden" character?

LK wasn't a bad choice for Tenn. at all, no one had any idea the USC job was going to open and he was going to bail, at the time it looked like a slam dunk hire for Tenn.   

The simple facts are, the waters are getting very rough, this program looks completely rudderless right now.   If it is truly as Bill says it is, and Sean is running the show, then it's not good.    A special team player waving off a kickoff should be grounds for immediate dismissal as a special teams coach.

Despite your perception of our beloved KSU, many people around the country still view this as a bottom tier job. It mostly has to do with no one sustaining success here during the nearly 100 seasons of football not coached by Snyder.

Again, welcome to the blog.

What happened to the Matt Wells buzz?   Is it because he lost both his coordinators and went with a P5 retread with Heuple as OC?  They're 4-3 this year, but 2 losses are by 10 at Utah and 14 at Washington.  I could see Currie thinking "Matt had buzz last year, lost his QB this year and still beat Boise.  While everyone is focused on Fuente and Herman, let's lock in Wells."

Stitt would be intriguing, especially if he continues having success at Montana.

He is an innovator which is really important when you are undertalented.

Well he's 4-3 in his first year at Montana with losses to Weber State, Cal Poly, and Turner Gill's Liberty Flames. His vaunted offense is averaging a blistering 27 ppg. Sooooo can we please stop talking about him in hope/change/dreams thread and maybe save him for the guy we'd pick if like 12 people told us no thread?

Idk. USC has a weird infatuation with hiring NFL ties or ties to their program.  If Claeys at Minny does well the rest of the way, they may just promote him.  Illinois and Maryland will hire turds.  The U hire will disappoint again.

SEC schools love the hot assistant or rising star hires from their league/area so that could be interesting.

Sean should go cut his teeth on that UNT job.

The Bowling Green coach was an assistant at Baylor, AtM, and Arizona.

He lost his two Co-OCs from last year to Tulsa to work under former Baylor OC Philip Montgomery.  One is 33 year old Mike Mattox.  He is originally from Holton and has coached at both Butler and Coffeyville.  The other is Sterlin Gilbert, a former West Texas HS coach of the year who went with Babers to Eastern Illinois, where he coached Jimmy Garapalo.  I'd be pretty optimistic Dino could bring them with him to form a strong set of recruiters.

It wasn't that Brown stopped recruiting, it actually got to be too easy and they were just taking guys by their high school stud credentials and not properly evaluating how they fit into the system and program.
Proper evaluation seems like a major part of recruiting. If you stop doing that then you effectively stopped recruiting.

The dude won a national title and is the winningest or second winningest coach in Texas history.   He transformed Texas athletics from a program that while it had money it wasn't as much as you would have thought, into a nearly unrivaled financial super power.

The problem was that recruiting got to be to easy.

What an absurd rationalization, you gotta be kidding me. :lol: #TexasTuckNation #TTN

It's not completely inaccurate, although I feel you have to consider evaluation to be a major part of "recruiting."

UT could have had RG III and Manziel at QB. They just failed to see those guys' potential and would only recruit them for other positions because UT thought they were set at QB.

Just the other day I was reading you post about how '04 and '05 was totally not LHC Bill Snyder's fault for misevaluating busts after recruiting got easier like Nick Patton, Matt Boss, and Chris Boggas. And I was also reading you talking about how it's a good idea to recruit to a system and evaluate right fits and not nust snatch up every star you can get and K-State has been really good at that, just unlucky with injuries.


Oh wait, none of those things happened you rough ridin' hypocrite. Shut up.Your dumbass month long temper tantrum on here stands in direct contrast with your view on how Mack Brown's coaching career ended.

Awwww thank you :blush: before Pete created that thread tonight I would have said I don't know because I don't think Snyder is retiring this year, now I wonder what Pete knows.

If Snyder leaves this year considering all factors I would think that PJ Fleck and Matt Ruhle could be strong contenders. I am not sure if Gary Patterson will Gene Keady K-State but if he does, he is very tight with Fuente. I wouldn't be surprised to see a name of someone who already has a decent job like Mark Stoops or Sonny Dykes.

There's no downside to John Currie when he always talks about wanting head coaches w/head coaching experience.  Even when not in a hiring process, saying that says to dummies that he holds KSU on a pedestal and that only those who've paid their dues elsewhere are qualified to be a coach of your Wildcats. 

Then when he hires one w/head coaching experience, it's a pretty easy mad lib to fill in as far as "we set out to find the right fit with the right proven experience to lead this team" and talk about how he accomplished his mission.

But if he hires someone w/o head coaching experience, it's also easy to spin it as "you know, this guy was so impressive and we couldn't find anyone with a single negative word to say, that it was apparent he was our guy no matter what preconceived ideas we had at that outset.  And of course you might've heard of a guy named LHC Bill Snyder who turned out to be a pretty good head coach at his first job" and do that crooked smile.

I wouldn't eliminate Venables or others w/o HC experience as possibilities just because Currie's implied that's a prerequisite so far.  An AD saying something like that is no more meaningful than a new coach saying he likes "up-tempo" during an introductory presser.

Again, it goes back to Currie. I can easily see Currie pulling someone away from either place, depending on the candidate.

I'm with Dickstone in the fact that Currie has given Bill about $160+ million reasons to have a good working relationship.  Gundy has had a similar relationship with his AD, but he's stayed because it's hard to find a situation where you never have to worry about money or facilities. 

The problem is that Bill doesn't give a crap about that.  He'd just as well have practice in the middle of a field and have games in CiCo park.

Enos by no means is a top choice but he does check a few boxes. He was the head coach at Central Michigan for 5 years and he left after a good year to become the OC at Arkansas. He does run a pro style, ball control offense there. They look like what we would want to look like if we had a quarterback and a competent playcaller. For people who insist that Currie will blow the hire you better hope for this guy, people would certainly be pissed if we hired him but we could do so much worse.

I believe we'll ultimately end up with a better hire than most of you negative nancies think.

A big reason for the timing of the new VFC was for "recruiting" and not so much for recruiting kids initially, but to give ol' K-State a chance to hire the type of coach we need to sustain success here.

We have a brand new Maclaren parked on the north end of the stadium that has yet to be driven over 45 mph just begging for a hot, sexy football coach to break every speed record in it.

If you don't think that there are a number of quality coaches that would love to have that palace as a recruiting tool to build a winner, then you are exactly the type of loser mentality that doesn't deserve to have a championship caliber coach here.

I just have to believe that if the options were Dan Enos or Brent Venables, Currie would throw his desire for HC experience aside and go with Venables.

I mean it's a rule until it isn't, you know?

Dear Coach Venables,

I've been very impressed with your coaching abilities over the last 20 years. Please don't take a head coaching position this year. Unless it is at Kansas State University. We want you home.

Sincerely,

All EMAWs

Or;

Hey Brent,

Stay right where you are coaching a bomb ass defense for the WildTigerCats. We'll call soon enough.

Love,

Wildcat FAMILY

P. S. You COULD call us. Might help super shy ADJC. He is who has been calling and hanging up when your wife picks up.

It isn't my rule though, it's his and it's very apparent that it's important to him. Looking at the superficial things, that you don't need an interview to see, the biggest difference is that one coaches offense one defense, one has been a successful coach and one a long time assistant (who incidentally was fired once), and one went to school here and one hasn't and I am REAL sure that Currie gives no Fs about who went to school here and who didn't.

Can we offer 4mil a year to someone? Thats my only concern

Yes. We have an account that, on last year's balance sheet had $26M in it and we are adding to it every year. It has been described as our coaching war chest. Being that we didn't know how long Snyder was going to be around, we are pumping money in every year because it could (have) cost $6-7M a year for an ok coach in 5-10 years. As it is, we have the ability to offer $5M for five years today.

The HC experience criteria just shows what a complete pussy JC is. And not giving a crap about the fact that BV is quasi-beloved because he played/coached at KSU is unbelievably short sighted and unimaginably stupid. But this rough ridin' dipshit valued HC experience so much he hired a guy who was fired for sucking. So I guess he is just thay type of rough ridin' dumbass.

It's possible.  We just have to pay the money and Currie has to get over the HC thing.

Coordinators don't make a lot of P5 jumps these days.  Morris went to SMU, Herman went to Houston, McElwain went to Colorado State.  The only one that I can think of that happened in the last couple of years was Narduzzi to Pitt.

These days, the path is elite P5 coordinator, mid-major job (MWC, AAC), big P5 job.  If we just allow him to bypass the mid-major, low-P5 gig, we can probably have him if we're willing to pay him $2 million a year (just a guess).

Save for a handful of elites, what other school would not an alum and former assistant like BV be a slam dunk for the job? It's so rough ridin' obvious, Currie should have no choice.
It would also give Currie cover, which should give the bastid some comfort. It's a popular pick with (most) fans as well as a sound selection. The only down side for Currie is that it doesn't let him look like some kind of talent selection genius, which is why he probably won't do it.

I don't think he will be HCIW, but i guess a sizable contingent of donors want BV, and if they get really vocal, will Currie have much of a choice when the time comes, assuming he is available?

I mean he probably lost some of their confidence with oscar, so they may get a little more vocal this time around.  He probably had some cover on oscar because a lot of the big money wanted an anti-Frank regarding behavior and demeanor, or so I was told.  But I guess BV has the support of a lot of big money, but again, that's what I was told.

Currie still has tens of millions to raise between BSFS and Bramlage.  Matt Wells isn't going to get that done. Dan Enos won't get that done.  SEC schools won't hire a guy that shoots par on that kind of hire.

And we'd be naive to assume that big money will be okay with someone that's never coached for Bill.

Venables is the best name we could reasonably expect for a school with our history, challenges, and budget.  To assume that Currie will follow the same process as non-revenue sports and undershoot the hire to follow a pattern that's produced average results, to me, assumes he has no intention of moving on from here.  Because hiring these bland names thrown out won't get him a bigger gig.

Post by: Panjandrum on November 22, 2015, 04:54:45 PM
And let's be fair...you can hire Jeff Mitte and not draw ire because a small minority cares about what we do in women's basketball. 

If we hire Dan Enos or Matt Wells, the media reaction will be, "That's what Kansas State can do.  Solid hire."  Fan reaction will be disappointed to mad.  Donors will be pissed, and Currie would lose whatever support he has left.

If we hire Venables, the universal reaction would be, "Perfect hire.  Best guy they could reasonably expect to get."  Fans would be excited and people would donate, buy tickets.

I don't think Currie is tone deaf to that.  He wanted basketball to be less of a pain to him because what he was hearing from the money was, "Get a guy that swears less."  In football, it will be, "Get someone that's coached for Bill and can win games."

Venables, if he could get him, really would be the best possible hire ever for Currie. Everybody in the fan base wants him and nobody would blame Currie if it didn't work out.

This hire tells us whether we are a "football school" or not.

And we'd be naive to assume that big money will be okay with someone that's never coached for Bill.

This. There is no way on this earth Currie is hiring Sean. The easy answer is go after the best of Snyder's coaching tree.

Stoops (any) and Patterson are non starters. Levitt and Mangino are not viable for HC duties. Beilma no. Did I miss anyone? So then you have to look at the next level. Venzy is basically making more than any HC outside of the P5s and some in. Hell, he makes more than KUs coach. And for good reason. Which makes it a little easier to bend the head coach rule.

Brent makes Currie's job easy. He satisfies the inexplicably large contingent that want to cryogenically freeze Snyder or pay for a head transplant. He silences the "give Sean a try" crowd because he will have Snyder's blessing. And while many townies know about Brent's transgressions, 95% of donors don't know or care what happened and the unsuspecting cuckold is dead, so he can't beat a drum against him.

You want BV? Reinforce this to every booster you know that can bend Currie's ear.

Bill is not retiring this year. He's going nowhere until he has 200 wins. Brent isn't going to take a pay cut to coach a cusa team.

Look, I don't know if we'll get Venzy. It won't be this year, it will be next...probably. Find the schools that pay $2.5M a year and those are the ones that can afford him. Who so far this year can afford him? A handful of teams? If he stays at Clem, he's ours.

Some of the rumblings I'm hearing include whomever comes in takes the title of "Assistant HC" (or something similar) and basically retools the entire staff with LHCBS acting as a "figurehead HC" only and getting credit on lifetime record for next season wins to get to 200 as he takes a "victory lap" and gets a standing ovation at every stadium we play in.

The unexpected benefit for somebody like a Venzy with no HC experience is that they can start their program build with their year one record not showing on their lifetime win percentage. So, let's say hypothetically we go 7-5 or 6-6 next year while he ramps up recruiting... If he gets hot the next couple of years, his "career record" is maybe 20-4 rather than 26-10 or so and that too has a bit of value.

Save for a handful of elites, what other school would not an alum and former assistant like BV be a slam dunk for the job? It's so rough ridin' obvious, Currie should have no choice.
It would also give Currie cover, which should give the bastid some comfort. It's a popular pick with (most) fans as well as a sound selection. The only down side for Currie is that it doesn't let him look like some kind of talent selection genius, which is why he probably won't do it.
yep, I think our only hope is after Currie strikes out on the Fuentes and Kirby Smart types his self preservation instinct over comes his ambition forcing him to hire BV. 

I am still scared shitless it will end a Mike Riley type that is just resetting the shot clock but looks ok to good on paper.  Has Todd Graham started wearing a normal headset or is he still going for that aerobics instructor vibe?

Thamel...

As for other jobs, the fate of LHC Bill Snyder is in question at Kansas State. Bowl eligibility is still attainable for the Wildcats (4–6, 1–6 Big 12) after a miraculous 38–35 comeback victory over Iowa State on Saturday. But Snyder is 76, an age in which most people consider retirement, not working 16 hours days to compete with the likes of Oklahoma and Baylor.

Feldman...

10. LHC Bill Snyder, Kansas State: Is this the year The Wizard walks away for good? We’re hearing there’s a good chance of that. His team is just 1-6 in the Big 12. We’re told he’d love for his son Sean, a K-State assistant, to get the job, but his AD probably won’t go for that. Dana Dimel, the ’Cats OC who did a good job as the Wyoming head coach a decade ago, also is in play. Then again, last time Snyder walked away, he didn’t have much of a say in picking his successor and Ron Prince was a disaster there.

The guy after Bill will probably fail...

Really. Why?

This was based on past rhetoric: "No one wants to be the guy after a legend."  I don't really have any facts to back it up.  I wasn't even basing it off of Ron Prince's performance.

Ken Nie..... Navy coach
Dino Babers
Kendall Briles
Scott Frost
Lincoln Riley

The scary thing about PJ Fleck and Iowa State is that he likely doesn't think he's too good to work there. His recruiting classes at western are already better than ISU's, you'd think he'd be scary there.

If you look at how Beilema (sp?) handled it when he left K-state, we may be waiting until right after signing day. The only reason I bring this up is that if Snyder is involved he will probably want BV to do the honorable thing and not leave Clemson in a bind like Snyder has faced before. Which would suck because I want X.Kelly to come with him.

Maybe two significant reasons we aren't hearing a lot of strong info:

1) There's a strong, "It's Patterson!" fear that will pervade over this donor base for a long time.  From what I "hear", everyone is tight lipped.
2) Because of #1, Venables isn't going to say or allow anything that would hurt Clemson's chances in the playoff.

So, we won't hear anything substantial for at least 2-3 weeks, I'm sure.

It works in this case.

Snyder deserves a HoF victory lap.

Assistant coaches can have more recruiting contact than a head coach so it gives VB more time to recruit.

This gives VB basically an extra recruiting class, year on the trail as the assistant then his first year as HC is his second class.

Giving BV the HC job and having him run the program as he sees fit is actually what makes sense. (This assumes you think BV will make a good head coach.)

I'm all for what gets Venables here, so if it's one or the other, I'm for whichever one works.

However, in this situation, Bill isn't really running a whole lot, and history has shown recently that a soft transition generally nets better results than a hard transition, at least in the short term.

Venables would have a year to run the program as he sees fit, with Bill's input, and he'd be able to give a number of the assistants a year long interview to see if he wants to keep working with them.  Several of them are going to walk when Bill does, based on age alone, so it's safe to say that BV will have the opportunity to fill in assistants as he sees fit, including DC.  It also means he doesn't have to scramble to put together a staff and recruit in an 8-9 week period.  While there would be recruiting restrictions, he could recruit once they get to campus, and that would be huge for us.  It gives him a year to assemble a class and re-introduce himself to the local and regional high school and JUCO coaches.

A lot of negative stuff happens in the chaos during that transition.  Your recruits start looking around, you make snap judgments on assistants so you can have a staff going into Spring football, etc.  Existing players have to adjust to a new S&C program during winter workouts, then they have a new process during Spring football with new coaches, they generally learn new schemes vs. what they've spent months or years implementing and getting comfortable with, etc.  There are a lot of benefits to getting there a year early if that is something you're interested in.

If Venables didn't have a connection to a lot of these coaches, I could easily see him saying no.  But he does have a connection with many of them, and that may increase his comfort level in a HCIW situation.

It would be pretty great if Venzy has some say on who else on staff comes/goes for this coming year.  I understand we shouldn't expect a cleaned house, but one or two others would be nice, for recruiting if noting else.

this is absolutely wild speculation, but it would maybe explain the timeline of snyder's comments when asked about retiring:

-couple weeks before WVU game, said something like "i'll evaluate my situation when the season is over"

-at the hall of fame induction, said something like "i don't have any reason to retire"

so maybe in between those two questions is when this plan was put in place, and gave him more reason to be his usual cocky self when asked that type of question.

Is our class stellar or something? Are you worried that BV couldn't close the deal as head coach, but think our current staff of lazy recruiters is going to keep these recruits from looking around?

You don't think BV has been thinking about a staff? If you think he has to scramble to put together a staff, he shouldn't be even considered as HCIW. He knows exactly who he wants to hire if he comes to KSU, and the HCIW insult only makes it more difficult.

And we're worried about strength and conditioning coach adjustment? My goodness. Let's just keep the gang together forever.

Is our class stellar or something? Are you worried that BV couldn't close the deal as head coach, but think our current staff of lazy recruiters is going to keep these recruits from looking around?

You don't think BV has been thinking about a staff? If you think he has to scramble to put together a staff, he shouldn't be even considered as HCIW. He knows exactly who he wants to hire if he comes to KSU, and the HCIW insult only makes it more difficult.

And we're worried about strength and conditioning coach adjustment? My goodness. Let's just keep the gang together forever.

This isn't about keeping the gang together.  Snyder has created an operational and administrative structure that supports winning football.  If that is already in place, why rock the boat?  If we all agree that what we need are better players, Venables can make that happen.  Just replacing a few guys like Hayes, Miller, and Latimore with younger, more energetic recruiters will go a long way there.

Regardless of what me, you, or anyone else thinks of Snyder, he's created a structure that allows him to win with crappy recruiters and walk-ons.  Venables can make adjustments as he sees fit, but don't tear the whole house down when all you need is a little remodeling.

if given the choice i think everyone would like to have a clean break and hire brent as the HC with no strings.  If the choice is get brent here as HCIW so snyder can validate himself and stroke his ego with the 200 win thing, victory lap, etc OR no brent venables then i'm taking the HCIW thing. 

eff bill's "victory lap"

I don't necessarily believe in the "Victory Lap" concept.  I do think he wants to make sure that his administrative staff and coaches are taken care of, and that's why he's advocating so hard for Sean.

If he really believes the "Family" thing, he doesn't want to see a bunch of people in that complex lose their jobs when someone else shows up.  Sean prevents that from happening. 

But, if you can convince someone to come and keep the majority of your coaching staff and administrative/support staff, then he can step down without guilt.

HCIW coaxes him into retirement faster.  Regardless of whether or not I want it, which I don't, there are pros to it, and it's what's most likely to get him an exit strategy more quickly.  Otherwise, he has enough capital to stay as long as he wants, and no one wants that.

Why rock the boat? To do better than what Snyder can do with walk-ons and shitty recruiters.

Vague operational and administrative stuff you're talking about should not be a concern if you have any confidence in BV's ability. Venables has been a part of three winning programs (at a higher level than Snyder, in fact). He isn't some kind of idiot that's going to change every single positive thing about the program.

If you come from the mindset that Bill is inarguably the greatest football coach of all time, then you have a hard time fathoming why HCIW for the DC of the number one team in the country doesn't make much sense.

Good point, but I don't think it makes sense for BV in this situation. He should be able to do whatever he wants when he gets the job. I mean Kirby Smart wasn't asked to have an apprenticeship year at Georgia. Why should BV be forced to have one?

Venables has been a part of three winning programs (at a higher level than Snyder, in fact). He isn't some kind of idiot that's going to change every single positive thing about the program.

Some guys don't want to deal with that stuff.  Some guys just want to recruit and coach football.

Let's say Venables comes in next year as HCIW and replaces Hayes.  Cox probably walks because we'd ask him to coach DB's.  That's one guy you replace right there. Bill retires at the end of 2016.  Del and Mo walk out with him.  Venables now has three more spots to fill.  Guys that theoretically stay would be Dimel, Dickey, Coleman, Seiler, and some DB coach that he had a hand in bringing to KSU.  Maybe he moves Sean back to DoFO, which he was really good at.  Maybe Dimel leaves because he is angry for not getting a look as HC?

Plugging Venables in as HCIW doesn't mean you just keep everything the same.  It just means you get a year to evaluate the roster, compile your recruiting board, maintain some sense of continuity, begin the tweaking process, and you now can do it in 12 months instead of 2.

I mean it's okay to say that you just want Snyder gone.  I want Snyder gone.  We don't need to beat around the bush.

It's not that he's the greatest coach of all time.  He's not.  It's just hard to follow a demigod.  Being HCIW has some advantages, and it's disingenuous to say that it doesn't have any.

I think the vast majority of people here, including myself, would just rather see BV as the HC next year.  But if he chooses to go another route, then I understand why.  It worked for Jimbo Fisher.  It worked for Chip Kelly.  In a roundabout way, it worked for Helfrich.

I mean it's not outside of the realm of possibility that both Snyder and Venables have talked to Bowden and Fisher about the advantages/disadvantages of such a situation.

I'm fine with Snyder staying as long as he wants, I don't know why you tacked that on. He's definitely earned it and I don't think he'll have a season or recruiting class disastrous enough to change my mind.

But if we bring on someone new, they should be able to run the program however they see fit immediately. Letting Bill maintain control honestly won't be what's best for anyone but Bill and probably Sean.

If that's not how you feel, I apologize.  I do want him to move on.  So, maybe I'm projecting.

There's no way we make a change at this point.  It's too late in the game.   Maybe it's as simple as the fact that Bill, Brent, and Currie have agreed to something, but Brent doesn't want to come to Kansas State until after Clemson is done, and maybe Bill wants to give his assistants more time to find good jobs, or audition to Brent, by announcing earlier in the year.  If we've crossed some sort of milestone date, and Bill really wants to take a step back and quasi-retire more than he already is, and he wants to make sure his staff is taken care of, one way or another, and Venables really does consider this his dream job, then maybe they figure just making the move after signing day is the best move for everyone involved.  At that point, you may as well make him HCIW because that's the only move that's really left on the table unless you just want to put everything off for another year, but what's the point of that?  I've already outlined the advantages of being a HCIW.

This could have been a completely different conversation if Venables was set to coach Clemson in the Russell Athletic Bowl, but that's not what's happening.  There's no way he would even consider walking on Clemson or making this a distraction before the Orange Bowl.  Based on everything that I glean about him, that's not how he rolls.

Again, HCIW is more of a matter of convenience than power in this situation.  Bill is already half out the door at this point.  Venables coming in just makes the timing better for everybody, and I'm sure Currie would pay Venables whatever he's making at Clemson, if that's what it took.

Fisher appears to be the only one hired as HCIW? All the others seem to be already on staff, which is a major difference.

at halftime of our last game, as a final goodbye, BV nails a bunch of chicks at midfield while snyder films it and they make a sex tape together.   then after the game, all the coaches and wyatt go into that big theater in vanier and watch the tape and laugh and high five and go cats.

When they did it at those other places, the HC's in question had more of an indefinite length of time.  I wouldn't assume that Venables would come here as a HCIW with some indefinite tag.  There would have to be a solid expiration date, around 12 months, and it would probably be backed up in the contract with a significant penalty if we didn't make it happen.

I completely agree that Venables wouldn't come here for some indefinite length of time.  It would have to be set, and it would have to be a year or less.

You don't think BV has been thinking about a staff? If you think he has to scramble to put together a staff, he shouldn't be even considered as HCIW. He knows exactly who he wants to hire if he comes to KSU, and the HCIW insult only makes it more difficult.

And we're worried about strength and conditioning coach adjustment? My goodness. Let's just keep the gang together forever.

This isn't about keeping the gang together.  Snyder has created an operational and administrative structure that supports winning football.  If that is already in place, why rock the boat?  If we all agree that what we need are better players, Venables can make that happen.  Just replacing a few guys like Hayes, Miller, and Latimore with younger, more energetic recruiters will go a long way there.

Regardless of what me, you, or anyone else thinks of Snyder, he's created a structure that allows him to win with crappy recruiters and walk-ons.  Venables can make adjustments as he sees fit, but don't tear the whole house down when all you need is a little remodeling.

The buzz is that Snyder has such a unique framework/structure for winning football at K-State, the successor, in order to avoid a breakdown and long rebuilding process, will need to adopt the Snyder way of doing things.  You'd think Venables knows that framework.  One of the reasons I happen to like the potential of Leavitt's involvement in all this is because Leavitt knows the framework as well.  A friend with a friend in the OU athletic dept is adamant that the FB program will collapse unless the Snyder successor is chosen within the Snyder coaching tree.

This is probably the most compelling point made so far. But don't you think would just prefer to get rid of key WRSOAT contributors as soon as possible. Most would remain if he's HCIW.

I didn't realize we were talking about a HCIW agreement unlike any other in history. My bad.

I mean if you're going to get a guy like Venables to do it, it's going to take something different.  I agree with you that it wouldn't be like the other situations.  The practice in-and-of-itself is pretty much dead.

It's just a rumor.  May be nothing.  May be true.  But it's not completely crazy.  Two of Snyder's good friends did it in Alvarez and Bowden.  He may think it's the way to go?

Just Hayes leaving and bringing in an actual DB coach would be a huge start and offense it's not like we have the personnel at WR or  QB to run the spread anyways.

Is our class stellar or something? Are you worried that BV couldn't close the deal as head coach, but think our current staff of lazy recruiters is going to keep these recruits from looking around?

You don't think BV has been thinking about a staff? If you think he has to scramble to put together a staff, he shouldn't be even considered as HCIW. He knows exactly who he wants to hire if he comes to KSU, and the HCIW insult only makes it more difficult.

And we're worried about strength and conditioning coach adjustment? My goodness. Let's just keep the gang together forever.

This isn't about keeping the gang together.  Snyder has created an operational and administrative structure that supports winning football.  If that is already in place, why rock the boat?  If we all agree that what we need are better players, Venables can make that happen.  Just replacing a few guys like Hayes, Miller, and Latimore with younger, more energetic recruiters will go a long way there.

Regardless of what me, you, or anyone else thinks of Snyder, he's created a structure that allows him to win with crappy recruiters and walk-ons.  Venables can make adjustments as he sees fit, but don't tear the whole house down when all you need is a little remodeling.

The buzz is that Snyder has such a unique framework/structure for winning football at K-State, the successor, in order to avoid a breakdown and long rebuilding process, will need to adopt the Snyder way of doing things.  You'd think Venables knows that framework.  One of the reasons I happen to like the potential of Leavitt's involvement in all this is because Leavitt knows the framework as well.  A friend with a friend in the OU athletic dept is adamant that the FB program will collapse unless the Snyder successor is chosen within the Snyder coaching tree.
Was this friend of a friend at OU pre Stoops?  The "only the Snyder way has ever won here" is such bullshit.  If Prince wasn't a total ahole and Raheem stayed for a couple years he likely goes bowling every year Freeman was here. 

P5 resources + multiple games in Tex/close to the Metroplex + NU & MU leaving the conference + KSU still accepting Ds on JC transcripts = winning

bill's victory lap is going to be so sweet
hopefully he rides around opposing stadiums on a hoverboard while flipping off all of the fans and teams that he has completely dominated for the last 20 years.  which would be all of the teams.  because he has.  meanwhile BV is in the pressbox banging all of the wives and daughters of important k-state people, until 5 mins before kickoff when he wipes the sex off his face and joins the team on the field to begin DoD3.

at halftime of our last game, as a final goodbye, BV nails a bunch of chicks at midfield while snyder films it and they make a sex tape together.   then after the game, all the coaches and wyatt go into that big theater in vanier and watch the tape and laugh and high five and go cats.
Hilarious.  Sophomoric, but hilarious.

well, Dan McCartney had them respectable for a few seasons and I would call him a competent coach at best.  Also, we are clearly the dominate program in our state, are much closer to Texas and ISU doesn't have our respect for course work completed at fine community colleges everywhere (AFAIK)

Really, the Chizik hire and the MAC dude they just hired speak to what even the 9th best job in the conference offers.

The buzz is that Snyder has such a unique framework/structure for winning football at K-State, the successor, in order to avoid a breakdown and long rebuilding process, will need to adopt the Snyder way of doing things.  You'd think Venables knows that framework.  One of the reasons I happen to like the potential of Leavitt's involvement in all this is because Leavitt knows the framework as well.  A friend with a friend in the OU athletic dept is adamant that the FB program will collapse unless the Snyder successor is chosen within the Snyder coaching tree. 

From now on, I'm going to refer to the football program as "the framework".

Appears to be retirement after the bowl game or yielding to a HCIW partner with a contractually defined retirement at end of 16. Alternatively, he could decide on neither if he chose & maintain status quo. Still a fluid situation, as I understand it. Retirement of asst coaches or resignation of asst coaches could be strong factor in decision making process. That's what I know.

As I understand the situation, Bill is either going to retire or not retire. Although we don't know which option he'll choose, we do know that one of those things will definitely happen after the bowl game. Take it to the bank.

I don't, sorry. In the end, I believe he will do the right thing for K-State. It wouldn't surprise me if he wasn't 100% sure of what that is, at least at this point.

 Well he never actually says he won't take a head coaching job. He just says he doesn't need one. That can easily be converted into "Clemson is a great place and it takes a special offer to leave, but when your alma mater comes calling that a truely special opportunity."

Venables says he turned down a chance to interview for a "good" Power Five job this year, and the last job he interviewed for was at Arkansas in 2012. Venables says he is unlikely to take a job outside a Power Five conference and he'll be particular going forward. (His $1.4 million salary certainly prices him out of a lot of jobs.) "I would never do what LHC Bill Snyder did and take a place like Kansas State," he says. "I don't want to do that. That's torture! I don't want to live like that.

K-State head coach LHC Bill Snyder (Sean’s father) praised not only his son’s special teams work, but his global approach to benefitting the Wildcats’ football program: “If there’s anybody that would be here earlier in the morning or stay later at night, that would be (Sean). All of our coaches work extremely hard, but Sean’s got so much on his plate. Aside from dealing with the special teams, as he does with coordinating all of that, just virtually anything and everything that takes place — our interaction with the administration goes through Sean, our interaction with our strength development arena, our nutritional arena, with our medical aspect, with the equipment aspect, with our video aspect, game day operations that takes place — he handles all of that.”

"I would never do what LHC LHC Bill Snyder did and take a place like Kansas State," he says. "I don't want to do that. That's torture! I don't want to live like that. I want to wake up and feel good about what I'm doing and be very confident and passionate about what I'm doing."


He is trying so hard to make it look like he's not coming here. lol

Believe he's staying.



Good ol' tightwad Bill:

. Mike and Bob Stoops stumped for him to get the linebackers coach job, and Snyder reluctantly agreed after making Venables wait months for an answer. He finally hired Venables on an interim basis, paying him as a graduate assistant through the spring. When Snyder offered him a contract, it was for $33,000 per year. Mike Stoops was ticked that Snyder paid him so little, and when he walked down the hallway to confront Snyder about it, Venables stopped him. "NOOOOOOO!" he recalls screaming at Mike. "You're screwing this up for me!"

K-State head coach LHC LHC Bill Snyder (Sean’s father) praised not only his son’s special teams work, but his global approach to benefitting the Wildcats’ football program: “If there’s anybody that would be here earlier in the morning or stay later at night, that would be (Sean). All of our coaches work extremely hard, but Sean’s got so much on his plate. Aside from dealing with the special teams, as he does with coordinating all of that, just virtually anything and everything that takes place — our interaction with the administration goes through Sean, our interaction with our strength development arena, our nutritional arena, with our medical aspect, with the equipment aspect, with our video aspect, game day operations that takes place — he handles all of that.”

Ok, so I did some digging over the holidays and unfortunately had to interrupt some family time to see if this rumor had legs.

Based on three people I spoke with, who have previous ties to K-State and likely connections to Venables, none of them have heard such a rumor about BV coming back this offseason as HCIW.

How reliable are these sources? One I would think to be pretty well in tune with things, the other two I really can't say. Therefore, I'm not going to say there's absolutely no way and/or that this rumor is 100% false. Time will tell, but the men I interacted with sure acted surprised to hear the rumor because they hadn't heard a peep of anything related to BV.

also have a friend that's always with the team, told him several weeks ago I wanted Venables, basically said the same thing, that it wasn't going to happen.

so either, there is already some sort of plan being laid out for someone else, or they were all instructed to say the same thing when asked about Venables  :excited:

Nothing has changed from what I've heard.  And from what I've heard, people who would be in a position to know are being tight lipped.

We weren't going to hear a damn thing until after Clemson got done anyway.  Maybe not until after signing day. 

Does anyone think that maybe, just maybe, if there were news on something like this with a coach in the playoffs, we'd put a gag order on it because the second Tim Fitzgerald or his band of dipshits finds out about it, it's all over the front page of GoPowercat.com?  Because the last time that happened, it worked out really well.

Alabama's DC was hired as Georgia's coach because no one waits until after bowl games to announce coaching changes.
 
Nothing is happening because Bill isn't retiring.

Brent and Dabo are very tight.  If something were to happen, I doubt that Brent would make anything public before the playoffs are over. They wouldn't want the distraction.

And we've established that Bill isn't retiring this year, and if Brent comes, it's as HCIW or whatever it will be.  Georgia had a true vacancy.  We won't.

The key piece for those who don't want to read it:

Quote
When Venables left Kansas State to join Stoops at Oklahoma for the 1999 season, he heard criticism, especially after Kansas State lost the 1998 Big 12 title game in double overtime to Texas A&M. It still bothers him and he promised to never replicate that feeling. "I always felt very disappointed that people associated me with looking at another job while I had a job and that affected my job," he says. "I know it didn't in my heart of hearts. I live with that still. [People saying] there was a lack of loyalty or whatever."

Venables's edge comes from starting life as an underdog. He was the youngest of three boys, which he jokes left him facing "social Darwinism" every day.

Belongs in Kansas.

To be honest, what I've heard was that BV would come after Bill retires. The HCIW thing is new. Both have pros and cons.

I'm not gonna get bent out of shape if he doesn't come this year. I didn't expect him to based on what I was told. That rumor was just a pleasant surprise.

Would take... :party:

I actually believe Currie would like nothing more than to hire BV this year. He's spent nearly $200M on spiffing up BSFS, and on an accelerated timeline to boot, to attract a high level or prospective high level HC. The last thing he wants to do is an annual "maybe I will maybe I won't" retirement dance with the Legend.

Doing so risks the faculty upgrade advantage we currently have against a good number of schools. Unfortunately, it appears this is a three not a two person negotiation process, making it much more complex and improbable you can find something that works for everyone.

If indeed the status quo is maintained next year, we will likely see another retirement exit that will have been poorly done and  sub-optimized.

I heard the same presser Kelliis did and there was nothing different said than what Bill's been saying the last six weeks. Has no newi plans for the future but will sit down with his family after the season and evaluate at that point. May be back but there's still a small hedge there.

Kellis certainly wouldn't be the guy Bill would let break this story.

This. I think we'll be better this year too. More options on offense and hopefully a better QB situation with better health. Defense can't get worse.

I agree he deserves his shot at 200. I just think the team has to improve a bunch between now and next fall. This season was difficult to sit through.

Serious talks to bring in BV as HCIW this season, but he wants to pick his own staff.

Says 3 to 4 coaches may retire or move on....the ones you would expect...Miller, Mo, Hayes & possibly 1 more.

Info from this morning.....take it for what it's worth

I've been told that the biggest issue handcuffing the situation is Bill's continued uncertainty. He finally publicly announced that he is returning for this upcoming season - but he has yet to convey to anyone (including those in the athletic department) that it will indeed be his final season. From everything I've gathered, BV is wary of the HCIW tag and would only be interested if he was granted the privilege of choosing the majority of the staff and would only be required to serve under Bill for one season before taking the helm.

As it sits right now, I would place the chance of this scenario materializing at around 10-20%.

this seems like exceedingly believable

If BV is, indeed, talking to the AD about a HCIW position then Bill has laid out his exit strategy. BV wouldn't waste a breath with this school otherwise. This is obvious BS, not to bother contemplating about, from pvegs and whatever GP loser he's referencing.

Using history as your guide no one should be surprised that a Venables (Stoops, Stoops, Leavitt) defense got torched by big plays and/or completely lost guys in the secondary.   It's always been an issue in games like last night and it's just weird because their defenses can be so lights out and then Blam-O somebody is busting free or somebody is running wide open deep.   While I have no real facts to back me up, it is my perception that this happens because BV (Stoops, Stoops, Leavitt) defenses try very hard to match-up personnel every play and sometimes that turns into a cluster.   

It also didn't help that Clemson by the middle of the game was down another key defensive player and was missing two right from the opening kickoff.

Post by: DOD Take 2 on January 12, 2016, 11:58:49 AM
Jayron Kearse (the safety for Clemson, #1) made numerous errors in the game. He didn't contain on the kick return TD. Got sucked inside and didn't get back out on the 63 yard pass with 4 min left. Miscommunicated with the DB on the TD to the tight end after the onside, which was probably on him. He also misplayed his run support on Henry's first TD.

The dichotomy between the fans who are ecstatic about JL at HCIW and the fans who are horrified will be very interesting.  This will be even more pronounced than the Weber hire.

On a positive note, Bill just might make an excellent mentor and replacement father figure for somebody in a HCIW situation.  #family

truth be told, we should all be hoping that tom hayes sticks around for another go 'round.  i feel like we're on the edge of turning our defensive woes around and his experience is invaluable

The Blackcats rumor is that Venables will be the next HC.  He never said anything about HCIW.

It's the donors that are talking right now.  What I'm guessing, based on that, is that Currie and the donors may be having one dialog, and Bill is doing his own thing. 

No matter what happens, I doubt that this is going to end cleanly and simply with Currie and Bill on the same page.

Don't assistant contracts have bonus for staying on till signing day and some other restrictions for leaving before. If BV had kids he thought he could get to MHK he would just need to get them to hold off on signing.

Another part would be a current coaches would probably finish their current term of their contract. When does that end? Signing day.

Was really hoping I was gonna win the powerball (and be the only winner) so I could drop like $100 mil on the athletic department with the stipulation BV (or some other big name coach) comes within the next year. Would have gotten Currie all hot and bothered dangling a $100 mil check in his face. Would have made the Vaniers look like poors..... oh well, we can all dream.
