I wholeheartedly agree with Tim Fitzgerald. I've never had a problem with him to be honest, and I don't here.

Man, oscar has even been subconsciously telling us all along that he even knows Brad's the better man. You need to be outstanding on the bench (Brad) and not out standing on the floor (oscar).....
Really do wonder how Currie rationalizes oscar's antics.....

The only down side for Currie I see is the money issues, which is probably his biggest issues, since he cares more about that than wins or losses. But if Brad doesn't work out everyone will forgive him. But if Brad works out at OSU, it's a firable offense.

his overall career win percentage, illinois attendance while he was the coach, national champ runner up, wouldn't cost more than frank, less of a headache than frank, very strong support from kstate great gene keady.

The last line makes me wonder...
Is Currie so out of touch that he thought a vote of approval from Gene Keady would matter? He realizes that the relationship between KSU and Keady is pretty much non-existant to negative, right?

All Currie has to do is choose to be the unanimous hero to the fanbase.
Has there ever been an easier move in the history of AD stuff?
Not hiring oscar weber.
This is even easier.
No it isn't. There's a lot of steps involved in actually executing this easy choice. Back then, all that had to be done was do anything other than not hire national laughingstock oscar weber. Like, they could've done absolutely nothing and waited weeks to hire somebody or just gone w/o a coach and it would've been better than making a 2nd trip to the trash can (this time, figurative) and pulling out oscar weber and slapping a purple blazer on him.

Hiring just about any coach then would've brought some criticism. Now he can make a coaching choice that is unassailable. He essentially has an easy button sitting on his desk and all he has to do is push it.

Brad Underwood is 99.9% approval from day one. The .01% will be standing behind oscar at his going away press conference.
There are very few things that Currie could do that would rally pretty universal K-State support than this.

If we were to find a way to hire Chip Kelly to replace LHC Bill Snyder, I think it would be several percentage points below hiring Brad.
There is literally no box he doesn't check as a candidate. Kansan. Alumni. Played for Hartman. AHC during our best stretch in 30 years. Unprecedented winner. Media darling.
There are zero drawbacks to hiring Brad. Zero. I am at a loss to think of any other potential hire, in any sport, that would draw so much universal support at any school in this conference.
I mean, if KU said they were going to hire Brad Stevens after Self retired, that wouldn't get the level of support Underwood would get here, day one.

I would say it is a slam dunk hire, but I've watched enough bad K-State basketball to know this has a higher rate of success than a slam dunk.

Yeah, it's super easy, but still not as easy as NOT hiring oscar weber. I'm not talking about who he'd have hired instead, just not hiring the guy who weeks earlier had been featured on sportscenter for having the most lol presser of the year and was subsequently mocked nationally by every college hoops person in america. And then fired. And with no other options than college of charleston.
Saying "nah, we'll keep looking" was an even easier thing than the incredibly easy thing of trying to get underwood.

-Fitz thinks Jamie Dixon to TCU is a good hire. He is happy they're trying to get better and thinks hiring an alumni is a good idea. Says there is a lot of opportunity to make that program much better.
-There was a fake tweet about oscar Weber being fired yesterday. Kietz knew it was fake immediately but some people didn't. Fitz wrote an article that Brad Underwood should be the coach at KSU.
-Fitz agrees with Kietz that Currie won't do anything regarding the coaching situation at KSU. He believes Currie has stayed far away from the situation but thinks fans have turned on oscar since the home Texas loss this year.
-Fitz called out gE as a vocal minority who never gave oscar a chance. Fitz gave oscar a chance until the end of this year, but now believes he is failing. Stated the Deb Patterson firing example.
-Kietz thinks oscar should be fired if he misses the tournament next year.
-Both think KSU was going to go to the Vegas 16 but backed out, but neither has a source. Mentioned affording the trip for some weird reason. A staff member at GoPowercat was told that going to Vegas is not in line with KSU basketball tradition. Alluded to Vegas not being a trip Currie wants to send his players on.
-Fitz has known Brad Underwood since high school.
-Kietz thinks KSU fans want a more "in your face" type team and aren't getting that with oscar Weber.
-Kietz thinks KSU needs moral flexibility in coaching in basketball. Mentioned the trash can receipt and called coaching under Currie an uphill climb.
-Fitz thinks the KSU admin. has lost its way because they're more worried about what's going on in the stands than on the court.
-More on Currie's decision to suspend Samuels...
-If Kietz was the AD he would reach out to Brad quietly to take the job, but doesn't think Currie will do that.
-Fitz is confident that the team will be better next year than they are this year, but isn't confident they will be better 3-4 years down.
-Brad has told Fitz that KSU is his dream job and wants to raise his kids here. Fitz believes he has earned the job.
-Kietz thinks oscar's term at KSU is beginning to look a lot like Illinois.
-Fitz thinks OSU is the 2nd school on Brad's list based on his ties to OSU.
-Kietz randomly put Fitz on hold? Fitz blamed Sprint.
-Brad is a Jack Hartman "guy" according to Fitz.
-Fitz thinks if KSU doesn't hire Brad now, it would be unlikely that they ever would. Wouldn't rule it out yet. Fitz says Brad is the best choice for KSU basketball right now.
-Kietz blames Lon for leaving KSU and creating the stereotype that you can't recruit to MHK.
-Kietz says he turned on oscar when KSU got smoked by KU at the Sprint Center this year. Said there was "horrendous" effort.
-If Kietz was the AD, he would pull the trigger. Thinks Brad wants to be there and the KSU fans would love him.
-Fitz sat in press row for the KSU-KU Sprint Center game.
-Fitz thinks KSU fans are upset they aren't watching basketball and are watching former KSU coaches win NCAA tournament games makes them mad.
-Fitz has nothing against oscar and has been offended by the personal attacks on his since day 1.
-Kietz thinks there is a divide between Currie and the fans. Thinks Snyder and Currie don't get along and Currie has a poor feel for the sports part of being an AD. Kietz thinks Currie is a fantastic businessman. Fitz thinks Currie will have a great legacy at KSU because of the football stadium.
-Fitz thinks Currie has broken the relationship with fans completely.
-Fitz says there is a 10% chance something happens. Kietz says it sounds high. Fitz thinks the silence is confusing. Kietz thinks 5-10%.
-Fitz thinks there is a lot more too this situation than Currie realizes. Kietz thinks Currie doesn't care and as long as he follows the rules and Schulz is happy with him he won't feel the heat.
-Both agree this will follow Currie to his next job if he lets Brad go to OSU.
-Shameless plug to read GoPowercat by Fitz.
-Kietz thinks the most likely scenario is oscar retires or nothing will happen.

I can't quite figure out the mechanics of the joke but something about the 2 of them reaching the conclusion just now in 2016 that currie/oscar aren't good and that the interview must've been conducted in a hot tub time machine.
those two are really on top of things. Fans started to turn on oscar after the Texas loss? This tenure is starting to look like his tenure at Illinois? We've got a couple of fuckin' experts here.

KK said he thinks curries treatment of students and fans at games in regards to being more sportsman like has "created a division" that he doesn't think Currie can recover from.
KK said you have to have moral flexibility to compete at the highest level of sports and thinks Currie is unwilling to operate that way. Also said he thinks Currie is doing exactly what Kirk wants him to be doing.

This is why the expectations have to be very high for next year. The results have to be good enough that we can hold our nose and live with Weber/Currie. For me, that is a conference championship (regular season or tournament) and no worse than a 3 seed. If Weber gets that done, I will tip my cap and say "proceed" (but quietly, and don't tell anybody you are our coach).
