These views and demeanor of these posters represent the lion's share of the Cat Kingdom and thus have convinced me that the K-State base has finally abandoned JC.

I left the Currie bandwagon after the equestrian thing, and I've never even seen an equestrian event. I don't even know what the type of ball they use is. He is that bad.
-
Currie has worn me out. Fire him.
-
eff him. He is destroying everything.

Ask yourself a question, what would Jon Wefald do to an athletic director that failed to hire Brad underwood? Now ask yourself what UPKS is going to do, and you have the answer.

Running off Frank was strike one

Can't wait for more of those emails after every season talking about how many good teams we have to play which makes getting to the tournament impossible :emawkid:
-
Its evident John Currie can get stuff built. So, let's hire an AD for personnel only and leave Currie as facilities AD to build stuff. Because Currie sucks with personnel decisions.

He will build a great dumpster. Dumpsters are really no problem. He will build this dumpster great than any other dumpster. He will get us to pay for it, but it is going to be great.

Great as in Frosted Flakes GGGGRRREEAAT?
-
Wefald would have destroyed Currie. I mean, if you are the president of a university, you would think that at least part of the job description for being an AD is to somewhat care about the performance on the court and field. I mean, at least care a little bit. I guess as long as the six people there are being nice to each other and the team, they are cool with sucking.
Another thing. This has probably been brought up before, but is there anything more KState than hiring a guy from the SEC and have him end up being the only non dirty guy from the SEC ever?
-
All he had to do was give the people what they want. He has been unable to do so, and at growing rate, for some time now.
-
John Currie is not family.
-
DeCoursey on 810 just said, "I guess KState has to win next year."
WOW! I'm stunned he gets paid for that keen insight. Win...what are we supposed to do in the 4 other years?
-
KSU announced to the world that basketball no longer needed to "win" when they hired oscar Weber. Welcome to 4 years ago.
-
if oscar starts bringing in burger boys, i think we can turn around our bad fortune.

#BringBackBurgerBoys
-
No coach will work here until they are allowed to do what P5 coaches need to do to recruit and manage their players/team. Currie is standing in the way of all that. He knows it, and that is why he didn't make a move. That is also why he won't make a move next year. oscar will have to burn his own house down, and I actually do think that oscar is able to avoid doing that.
-
not in this league. He will not be over 500 in the league again as our coach.
-
he will be much better than .500 if he gets the right burger boys
-
that comment in no way implies that there are bad burger boys
-
#InBurgerBoysWeTrust
-
John Currie's ego, strange ways, cloistered inner circle, ultra micro management and personal agenda are wrecking K-State athletics. It's time for him to move on.
-
If we didn't need him for the hoops team, Weber could be his replacement.
-
oscar would be a great AD if we had a really strong coach.

Yep, oscar has all the interpersonal communication skills necessary to be AD

No, all Currie knows how to do is design slick pamphlets that ask people for money. They main reason people responded to those pamphlets is because of the incredible success of our 2011/2012 football teams. Of course, Currie deserves no credit for that success at all.
I knew all I needed to know about Currie when he and our tweeting Prez couldn't get us in a BCS bowl in 2011. This was confirmed when they hired oscar Weber. Both just dorks(Schultz)/dweebs(Currie) who have no business at a cool place like KSU.
-
Can I get a McPick 2 guard?
-

Bingo. A major reason Currie hired Weber is because Weber can't manage players (Foster, to some extent Angel). So Weber doesn't push back in this area at all. It's actually good personal risk management by Currie, just detrimental to K-State.
You can't have the ego Currie has a as leader and your organization be successful. If have to hire people who are smarter than you and better at you for what you hire them to do, then let them do it while giving them whatever resource they need to do it. Currie is great at fund raising, I'll give him that, but he is ignorant of the fact he has no knowledge of how to run a sports program.
Currie had all kinds of basketball coaching moves he could have made this off season: Underwood, Henson, Gottlieb, Jankovich, and the list goes on. All guys who could put together a decent staff and recruit. But, I doubt any of them would have said yes to working under Currie. It's also completely ridiculous that K-State administration would value anything that has anything to do with Keady.
-
Jankovich's resume is a mixed bag admittedly, but I like him personally and would be thrilled to have him here given the current situation. That said, there is no way he's coming. He gets $800,000 as an assistant and is coach in waiting to take over SMU. He wouldn't leave there for the money they will pay him and the program that is built there for the situation at K-State.
corrected
-
Jank is a worse hire than oscar. Super gross.
-
We should hire Gottlieb and then trade him and Wade for Brad. Everybody wins!
-
I don't really want Jank either, but a good AD would have his people call Janks people. Currie didn't even pick up a phone this off season.
-
He gets almost $2 million as an assistant.
wtf?

This post was 100% serious, I just want people to let that sink in. This is what our program has come to.
-
Currie doesn't do phones. He does telegraphs to keady and hotel rooms with his friend, who charges huge fees to tell him to do what gene says.

I was being serious about liking Jank personally, thinking his resume is shaky and also thinking he would be an ok hire given the current circumstances. It would be very Kroger-brand Underwood.

there are no offbrand underwoods. it was, and still is, underwood or keep weber. we aren't giving this job to just anyone.

Giving the job to Underwood is almost like giving the job to just anyone.

He didn't sit next to Larry Brown before taking those jobs either. And lets be real, how many good to decent power 5 coaches would put numbers up like that at those two jobs. We'd take a Scott Drew type right now, you sure he wouldn't do that at those garbage schools. Those were bad jobs when he got there and bad jobs since he's been gone.

The Larry Brown part makes him palpable. I agree they are not good jobs, but no NCAAs in 9 years is still troubling. I guess if anything it makes what Brad did at SFA that much more impressive.

Apparently being on Larry Browns staff makes you change into a really good coach after you were previously not very good.

Know that no matter how things bad get for kstatesports, there'll always be a corresponding catzacker post that almost makes it all worth it.
-
Our fans have always had a weird thing for Jank. At least with Henson you're not sure if he sucks. I mean, Jank is oscar without any of the success. If he chose to accept shitty jobs, then he showed a great lack of judgement. Which is not an awesome quality in a coach. I don't think spending time with Larry Brown makes you a great coach, it just gives you an opportunity to pick up some things from a legend. Those things don't necessarily bridge the gap between bad coach and good coach.
-
Get a good administration in place and they'll find an adequate coach.

I need to apologize to wetwillie. It's moronic and irrational to think you could learn more from Larry Brown after you've been coaching for 30 years than you would from basketball greats like Dana Altman, Bob Weltlich, and Boyd Grant when you're in your twenties. Again I'm deeply sorry.

I believe Jank's contract makes him the HC when Brown leaves, which may very well be pretty soon.

John Currie gets WAY too much credit for his financial prowess.
When Currie became our AD, KState athletics was the equivalent of a single parent with 7 kids, $7 large in debt due to an absentee spouse's gambling debts, living in a trailer in a park located top-dead-center in tornado alley. Krause, Prince, and Wefald were, in that order, impregnator, tornado, and impregnatee.
Enter Texas and Oklahoma threatening to leave the conference.
BOOM! Cash aplenty for all now-10 Big 12 schools!
Every school in the conference has been awash in cash since the break-up threat occurred. Think about it...have any Big 12 AD's been fired?
I rest my case. Stop giving Currie credit he did not earn. Fire John Currie.
-
Yes he's the hciw. I have no idea why a reputable program like SMU would take the word of a hall of fame coach when rando people can just evaluate him based on him being .500 at North Texas twenty years ago. Games they incidentally never saw him coach.
-
Just something to think about. And...if KSU had any interest in bringing Tim back, why haven't we heard about it?

No one mentioned K-State having interest in him. Good link though I liked this passage
On the one hand, he had an Illinois State team returning that was capable of challenging Creighton and Wichita State next season after making the Valley title game and the NIT second round last season. On the other hand, he had the promise of a hefty raise and an opportunity to one day coach in the Big East after learning under a Hall of Fame coach for a few years.
I'm sure people who's greatest exposure to him is reading his wiki page when they haven't thought of him in years have a much better grasp of his credentials though.

Eddie Sutton isn't nearly the coach that Self and Brown are. I'm guessing he probably learned quite a bit from Bill Self given that he was actually pretty decent at Illinois State. Will you admit that before bones posted that link you assumed he was fired from ISU?
-
I agree that there is some merit in having a K-State connection. It was certainly a draw for me for Brad, I won't lie.
But remove the K-State connection from Jank and I guarantee most of this board would go full #BID if he was hired at K-State given his resume.

From an athletics performance perspective, under the leadership of our tremendous group of head coaches, his tenure has seen arguably one of the greatest across-the-board 7-year periods in school history which has included Big 12 Conference championships in football, men’s basketball and baseball, eight individual NCAA titles in track and field, six straight bowl trips, five men’s basketball NCAA Tournament appearances, three in women’s basketball and four each in volleyball and baseball.
-
But no mention of congratulating KState alum and former KSU assistant coach Brad Underwood on his recent NCAA hire. :surprised:
-
The way that email was written it seemed as if Currie was trying to convince whoever the new Prez is that he should keep his job. Very high on his AD's accomplishments towards the end.

I'm guessing he's probably looking for a new job, either way he won't be getting fired by anyone. We can and should be annoyed with him but he runs a clean department that makes money.

Yep

I just read that. He's never going to fire him. No matter what.
-
Maybe he's just trying to convince SLU to hire him so we don't have to pay the buyout.
-
Kirk did a lot of nice things and I wish him well in the future, Currie has torched any goodwill he had from his facilities upgrades and fundraising. I would actively root for him to fail in the future.

"There are a lot of examples where coaches in their fifth, sixth and seventh years really show progress," Currie said.
Only fair to evaluate him after his seventh year stretch really.
-
“I believe oscar Weber is the right coach for our program,” Currie said Monday in an interview with The Eagle.
ok, i don't.
“Clearly, he has the right values and he has been embedded in the community with his support of different things – Coaches vs. Cancer, the United Way, you name it,” Currie said.
WHO THE eff CARES
“But ultimately, it’s about the players he has brought into our program. Look at D.J. Johnson, Westicles and Claws, those are K-State guys. And they are all K-State guys who have a chance to have great seasons next year. That is a reflection of their coach.”
WHAT THE eff DOES THAT EVEN MEAN
“If we look at where we were 12 months ago and where we are now, there is a night-and-day difference. We know now today who our leadership is: seniors that have battled through adversity and young players that are, frankly, playing the best basketball of their careers.”
Okay? And won 5 conference games.
“I believe at this time next year I am going to feel really good about the progress we have made,” Currie said. “Just as good, if not better, than the progress we made from last year to now.”
I disagree.
“There is no pressure I could put on oscar Weber, LHC Bill Snyder (football), Suzie Fritz (volleyball) or Brad Hill (baseball) that they don’t already put on themselves,” Currie said. “Seriously, like I’m going to say, ‘Coach Snyder, I am really sorry about the last game, but you better win the next one.’ Come on. It’s not like they aren’t already saying that themselves. For our coaches, every season is a must-win.”
Okay, but, you CAN fire them after getting worse every year for four years.
“I was really proud of Coach Weber making some strong decisions last year,” Currie said. “But I am more impressed with the fact our freshmen this year were impressive players, good guys. They had a lot of success. Their individual stats are better than the current four-year stars in our league had as freshmen.
We won 5 conference games.
“We fought really hard this year. Obviously, we lost more games than we wanted to lose, but we had very consistent effort as a team that I really liked. I don’t think there is anybody that hasn’t seen progress that wishes to see progress. He has done a really good job of managing that bump in the road and emerging on the other side.”
ME. I want to see progress and haven't seen progress.
“There are a lot of examples where coaches in their fifth, sixth and seventh years really show progress,” Currie said.
:lol:
“I totally get that fans don’t like losing. I don’t like losing, either,” Currie said. “But people like our team. That is what I hear. Out in the social media world, I know there is going to be someone who doesn’t like something I do or doesn’t like a decision I make or doesn’t like oscar Weber. But we had good crowds at Bramlage Coliseum even though we lost some games. We had a lot of students there, too.”
“We don’t want to get in the business of excuses, but there is a fine line between excuses and analysis,” Currie said. “If you look at football and basketball this year, we had significant injuries at quarterback and point guard. Those things are factors. We don’t like them. We want to build our programs to overcome those things. But I think it is significant that this basketball team, just like our football team, got their backs to the wall and continued to fight and play well. You saw us battle in some games where we were over matched. We also won some games that, when you have lost your team, you don’t win. I think that was impressive.”
The Kamau injury is the biggest fake scape goat i've ever seen. It's not like we were on some path toward the NCAA tourney when Kamau was playing. Hell our only good win vs OU came when he was hurt. God damnit.
-
“I believe at this time next year I am going to feel really good about the progress we have made,” Currie said. “Just as good, if not better, than the progress we made from last year to now.”
The "progress" that Currie speaks of is fifteen wins to seventeen wins...

That's unfair. We were NOT on the NIT bubble last year and we were this year. Next year I expect us to be comfortably in the NIT, and maybe even hosting a game.

Yeah, and we scheduled that progress. We won three fewer conference games. An argument can be made that we didn't actually make any progress at all.
-
Yep, but do it again next year and we are still showing progress, I guess.
-
"We had good crowds at Bramlage Coliseum even though we lost some games. We had a lot of students there, too.”
In which fantasy world does Currie live in?
And of course, the Stokes injury excuse... :jerk:

It is now more clear then ever that John Currie must be removed as AD from K-State.
What an idiotic statement. Of course no AD walks in a tells a coach that they have to win the next game or else. That's just pure comedy and absolutely sophomoric, who the hell does he think he's talking to?
When Currie fired Deb Patterson he laid the precedent of trajectory, that precedent whether he'll admit it or not was foundation-ally based in wins and losses. Really? Deb Patterson didn't recruit some great gals? Deb Patterson wasn't a pillar in the community involved in many worthwhile causes? So now we pay basketball coaches $2 million a year to be great guys? Now we base a team sports success on the back of individual statistics and so called individual improvement?
What a total and absolute crock of bullshit.
-
He knows exactly who he is talking too. A majority of our fans who are simpletons that use "family" in most of their conversations surrounding sports now.

do you all need to be reminded that not all wins are labeled with a w? progress is progress, you can't deny that.

he's finally digging out from that hole his loser predecessor left him in 12 months ago. Viva la oscar!

What a rough ridin' loser. I mean Jesus rough ridin' Christ I want to punch his face so much. He has absolutely no rough ridin' connection to our fanbase. I read that article right before I left work and it made me so rough ridin' mad. He needs fired now
-
I wonder if the big donors will put up with this. I mean they probably will. But a lot of what he said was basically a more polished carbon copy of what Texas State's AD said to justify keeping Dennis Franchione indefinitely (before he quit anyway). So basically, Currie's now taking a losery Sun Belt mindset to his public statements regarding the 2nd most important sport in K-State athletics. At what point do big donors see this guy is full of crap, that this SLTH-y mindset has no place in the Big 12 and force him to take action (or GTFO)?
-
The big donors are all guns up in Stillwell, hanging with their best bud Brad right now.

i wonder if we're taking the wrong approach, maybe "fire john currie" isn't the right tact.
thinking back to weiser, we couldn't rid ourselves of the clown either. it wasn't until his dream job opened up that he left.
i think we should consider promoting john currie, not sure how but we need to promote the crap out of him into a basement office red stapler type job.
-
That is the most infuriating thing I've read since his letter to the fans last year trying to justify the program's attrition.

I think this is the right approach. You know he dreams of one of those prestigious ACC jobs so he and Mary Lou Sue Hoo can back to their roots. If UNC is found guilty of any of these academic violations, they will be forced to clean house and bring in a squeaky clean guy. And no one is more squeaky clean than John. With a recommendation from the chair of the NCAA President's Council, it's a done deal.
We need to focus our energy on getting whoever is the AD at UNC fired.

I am running barely more than EMAW fumes at this point. It's bad, man. I am just about ready to completely move on with my life in healthy ways that have zero to do with K-State in any way. I mean, I can see it coming....it won't take too much more to just shove me through that door. The funny thing is, it might turn out to be a wonderful thing, to just put all this nonsense behind me and focus on more valuable parts of my life....I just can't completely let go of it yet. It's strange. go cats.

Of the 22 coaches hired by power-conference teams since 2012, he is the only one to win or share a regular-season conference title.
Bill Self did not win the regular season conference title his first year at KU. Then he won or shared 12 straight.

A University President with testicles should fire Currie on the basis of that interview alone.
No sitting AD tries to explain his team's lack of results with "Coaches vs. Cancer."
I no longer want him fired. I want him re-assigned to a woman's college in Zimbabwe. I want his house and office burned to the ground and the ashes scattered to the Flint Plains wind. John Currie's molecules should cast no shadow on anywhere in Manhattan.

UNC hired a new AD after the scandal broke. I understand Currie went after it hard. Some in here have more insight.

I enjoyed the part where our Freshman played the best basketball of their 1 year careers. The better stats based on much higher usage is also a fun stat.
I'm convinced the only way to push John to fire oscar is to start talking about a Title IX lawsuit about discrimination.
-
Honestly, none of what Currie says here makes me furious. My time of being upset was gone soon after it was clear that we didn't even consider Underwood. I said at the time that Currie was sticking with and tying himself to the coach he hired, and if he is intent on keeping oscar another year, it was absolutely the right thing to make some sort of statement of support. Plenty of ADs have given coaches a vote of confidence and then fired them the next year and I think Currie will do exactly that if next season looks like the last two. But he still has to sell the program for the future and to get people in the seats next year and he is doing exactly that. Like or not, while many K-Staters were on board with bringing Brad home, the intensity of the gE sentiment is small minority. If oscar fails next year he will be gone.

Not making the tournament.
And yes, Currie has set the bar low, that wasn't my point.
Though ultimately if Currie hangs on to a failing oscar too long, his job will be in jeopardy. I think he's smart enough to know that.
-
it's just all bullshit. he has to support "his coach," but it is all just such bullshit and annoying to read.
-
I find his bullshit hilarious but, as FAN alluded to, it is expected. All I wanted was for him to come out and say that the last two seasons were disappointing which he did. Some sort of acknowledgement that those are not acceptable is a step in the right direction, imo.

Which tournament is the question. We should be wary of that bar including a high (home host) NIT bid...
-
oscar is fine if he is a couple games above .500 next year and an NIT bid. Like _FAN said, I was done after he didn't go Underwood. I knew it probably wasn't going to happen but Currie could have won my support back if he makes that move. I think Brad would have retired here and there is no indication that he would fail here. If he somehow did, I doubt many people would have been too upset with Currie for taking the gamble, besides Kenn of course.
-
Oh, I think if oscar makes the NIT he is back for another year regardless of being a home team. Not only that, but the "bowl cuts" do nothing but pick up steam in their support of him

that's the thing. his job isn't to build oscar a pillow fort and make sure the idiot is comfortable as can be.
if currie had a clue, he could try and act like he's not talking to a bunch of bumbling mongloids like bowl cut kenn and instead pretend he thinks that the people he works for (us), have a functioning brain cell.
"yes our program has some problems. no, i'm not happy with the progress we've made. things have to get better and i expect that they will"
instead he panders to the rough ridin' idiots in our fanbase which i'm confident he feels make up 98% of us. i'm not sure he's wrong.
-

Except the last two seasons were acceptable, because he's still the coach.
And unlike FAN, I've been disappointed since he let Frank go and hired oscar. Like, of course he's going to support the coach who has met our expectations as a program over four years and has a strong young nucleus returning.

The only really disappointing quote was this one:
“I believe at this time next year I am going to feel really good about the progress we have made,” Currie said. “Just as good, if not better, than the progress we made from last year to now.”
Now, I think Currie really means the first step in "progress" was oscar turning over the roster, because obviously the progress from "last year to now" is hard to justify in wins and losses, especially in the league. And I think that "I am going to feel really good about the progress we have made" means showing up in wins and losses and making a trip to the NCAA. But at this point we also know that Currie supported oscar turning over his roster, even if they were players he recruited. He is admitting to giving oscar a 2nd chance and oscar (and maybe Currie) will sink or swim by that decision.
Of course most of my perception here is fueled by my optimism (which is much more than about anyone else here), but again, I think it is Currie's job to come out and say something and not to let the program and current coaches hang if he supports the staff in place.

the "those are K-State guys" line was really the only thing I found objectionable. And borderline offensive.

Two things

This is just pandering to the 98% of us he thinks are idiots. He says these players oscar brought in and are a reflection of him. He's throwing the old players under the bus, but he thinks we're too stupid to remember oscar brought them in too. How are his perceived positives of these players a reflection of the coach that brought them in, but the players they ran off also not a reflection of the coach that brought them in? He can easily back oscar without repeatedly saying illogical crap like this.
2. He mentions Bill twice. First he says he doesn't put pressure on Bill, but he lets everyone know he has the same power over Bill he has over Susie Fritz, he just chooses not to use it. Second, he takes a Bruve excuse and applies it to the football team, an excuse Bill didn't make.
No one is talking about it, but he gave Kellis two quotes about Bill. One where he implies FB was a similar disaster to MBB, then makes an unwanted excuse, and one where he publicly flexs his power over Bill.

I don't think you have to fire a coach to say the season was unacceptable. I'm not saying we have a good coach, but if someone (Currie) actually thinks we do, firing the coach after 4 years that include 2 NCAA appearances and a conference championship seems premature. If Currie is going to be responsible for hiring the next coach, I can see where that high of standard for a program of our level would give future coaches pause.
The problem, obviously, was letting Frank go and only got worse with hiring oscar. The issue of being seen as firing a coach prematurely could've been solved with Brad, but Currie let that ship sail. At this point, I think continuing with oscar for another year is probably the best option for the program. It shows we aren't a trigger happy AD to a future coach that may not have a NCAA ready roster and puts our young core in a position where they would transfer for 3 years to play 2. Of course the only way keeping oscar for another year is the best option is if we actually hold him to a high standard.

I think I'm just being an obnoxious pedant about what "unacceptable" means. If you don't fire him, you're accepting the results. I'll stop now. :buh-bye:

As someone mentioned (I think Pan), the best time to let him go is after 2017-18. Wade, Stokes, and Brown would be seniors for the next coach and presumably, the buyout would be low. A primary reason Huggins worked out so well was because he had Harris, Martin, and Wright as seniors and Stewart and Hoskins as juniors. We also saw what happened when Frank left oscar with a lot of talent and experience. I think a HUGE factor for coaches looking at changing jobs is the roster they're inheriting. It would be for me, at least.

This. Currie seems more out of touch than I had ever realized. He seemed smarter than this. I'm genuinely surprised. At the minimum, he is pissing off football check writers that support Bill.

The problem, obviously, was letting Frank go and only got worse with hiring oscar. The issue of being seen as firing a coach prematurely could've been solved with Brad, but Currie let that ship sail. At this point, I think continuing with oscar for another year is probably the best option for the program. It shows we aren't a trigger happy AD to a future coach that may not have a NCAA ready roster and puts our young core in a position where they would transfer for 3 years to play 2. Of course the only way keeping oscar for another year is the best option is if we actually hold him to a high standard.
As someone mentioned (I think Pan), the best time to let him go is after 2017-18. Wade, Stokes, and Brown would be seniors for the next coach and presumably, the buyout would be low. A primary reason Huggins worked out so well was because he had Harris, Martin, and Wright as seniors and Stewart and Hoskins as juniors. We also saw what happened when Frank left oscar with a lot of talent and experience. I think a HUGE factor for coaches looking at changing jobs is the roster they're inheriting. It would be for me, at least.
Although I like Stokes/Brown/Wade, I think at some point you have to let the chips fall where they may. If oscar doesn't make the NCAAs this year, he has had more seasons of failure than success. At that point I think we are setting the bar on what is acceptable.
-
I don't think you have to fire a coach to say the season was unacceptable. I'm not saying we have a good coach, but if someone (Currie) actually thinks we do, firing the coach after 4 years that include 2 NCAA appearances and a conference championship seems premature. If Currie is going to be responsible for hiring the next coach, I can see where that high of standard for a program of our level would give future coaches pause.

I agree with all of this.
Rusty's explanation about "unacceptable" was what I thought he was doing.
The interpretation of the Bill comments is interesting. I don't think Currie was being stupid or intentional there, but it does show that no matter how general you make your comments, you will eventually reveal something about what you really think. I think that's all Currie did there. I think there is an implication with both that a) I am allowing for analysis/excuses right now but b) eventually college sports is about winning. Clearly, Currie is putting some value on winning "the right way", but also that eventually if the winning doesn't happen he will be forced to find another "right way" winning option.

i don't think any of the returning players or incoming freshmen are good enough that they are relevant to if or when to make a coaching change.

They aren't now or probably even next year but there's a good chance they would be if they are all around as seniors.

that's ridiculous. this is panj? good lord, panj.
-
Sometimes players develop more than we initially assume. Sometimes 3 star recruits are better than we ever anticipated. Of course much of the time they don't.
-
My concern wasn't keeping oscar around to retain the talent. My concern was retaining the talent for the next coach. There is no one player that would we couldn't afford to lose, but keeping them together could be a factor in attracting a better coach, as well as contributing to the short term success of the program.
-
the last thing we want is another Dallas hotel room coaching search with the program at it's lowest point in over a decade and a possibly lame duck AD. We need to let UP Bosco bring in his own stud AD and then get after this thing a year from now. Best case is oscar rides next years NIT bid momentum into a mid major job in a warm place and saves us the buyout.
Currie probably needs to start applying to UNC's with hyphens
-
I would be ok with firing Currie today and letting Laird be the interim AD after Bosco fires oscar and hires Gottlieb.
-
Currie's quotes told us all he really cares about: People coming to the games and buying tickets and having a couple blue-collar/Kansas kids on the team that Tucks can be proud of. That seems to be an acceptable level of success for him.

I think my overall point was twofold:
1) Money
2) Lowered risk of roster turnover
If you have the nucleus of Stokes/Brown/Wade that have played 90+ games, the odds of them leaving are low if you make a change their senior year. I think that does probably make the situation more appealing, especially if you have a good wing in Sneed to build around and feature. An experienced, stable roster, even if it's C+/B- talent, is going to be more appealing than a complete gut job.
I'm not saying much about their overall ability/ceiling. I think their experience + physical maturity will make them somewhat better, and having a decent sized class, but not too big, will allow the coach to start bringing in "their guys" without having to start with 7 or 8 new guys.

ok. i'm not sure about the money point, afaik, his buyout remains constant (or nearly so) for the life of his contract, so there would be no savings in waiting until the current freshmen's junior year.
you'd be foregoing two years with your preferred coach in order to age three players to the point at which they'd be less likely to transfer. during that time span, your less preferred coach will recruit a minimum of seven players. not only do those seven roster spots have value, but those years have value.
jfc, if you value those three freshmen that highly, and value the marginal difference between two years with your preferred coach and two years with your less preferred coach so little, why are you even considering changing coaches?

Pretty much. It's always the lesser of 2.5 million or the remaining base salary on the contract. It wouldn't be until just before the final year of his current deal '18-19 that KSU could save $250K.

I didn't know the info on the buyout Trim just shared, which I'll admit changes things.
I'm thinking you might have better candidates available with a good returning roster that is unlikely to transfer. And it would only be one extra year. So like, if you can't get someone decent to coach after next season, let him stick around another. And of course, if he makes the NCAA tourney next year it's extension time.

two extra years from this year.
there's no reason to speculate on attracting better candidates in one year or another (which likely will depend much more on who is available and looking for kstateish jobs than on whether three average players are freshmen, sophs or juniors). there's no reason to fire weber until you've secured your preferred candidate. if you fail, then keep him because you couldn't hire who you wanted, not because you think coaches will be salivating at the thought of being able to coach Deathbite for a year.

He's coming back next year regardless. Other than that I pretty much agree with what you said. Especially since the buyout isn't a factor.

are there really a lot of coaches that won't come to k-state if we show them the money? and i'm not talking about extreme $. i guess that once you establish a commitment to facilities, which we have, a willing fan base, which we have, the rest is just how much we're willing to pay. a big 12 job, regardless of which of the 10 schools, is a very good one.
the relevancy of the roster that you 'gloids are debating is minimal, at best. the type of coach we have to hire is going to need to have strong aau ties and will want his own players in his program, none of this inherited crap.

You're probably right. Although I think what a coach is inheriting has an impact on which job he takes. If you're a coach choosing between Iowa State and Missouri, for example, you're probably going to choose the one with a significantly better roster.
As long as we aren't Kim Anderson terrible it probably doesn't make much of a difference though.

John Currie is an accountant, and the last few years have been like tax time, a very thrilling experience for all. Marveling at what shiny new things can be bought with your freshly harvested interest-free loan back from the government. It's truly an experience without peer. But now it's April 16th, and K-State fans are still hanging out with their accountant, wondering to themselves, "How did I not realize how much of a boring, insufferable rat this guy is before now? Why is he still here? Maybe we should have met at this office, I didn't realize how awkward it was going to be to ask him to leave. Doesn't he get the hint? I've checked my watch like 25 times in the last 10 minutes. Does he really have that little self-awareness?"

the a.d.'s job is more than winning games, as people at unc, louisville, baylor and other places are finding out.
the a.d. is responsible for compliance, facilities, academics, financials as well as winning. what john has done in each of those areas is pretty remarkable. he's on almost every list for other schools looking for athletic directors and has won numerous awards and appointments in recognition of his outstanding performance here at k-state.
and directly to your point, i'd suggest that ending the ncaa nightmare and unacceptable image that k-state faced with frank martin is far more important than a couple years of under-performing hoops, particularly when his replacement hung a banner not seen here since the 80's. and furthermore, i'd expect this to be a most succesful hoops' program this coming season.

So Schultz gives his fellow deuschbag an extension on his way out? This guys sure know how to take care of each other.

Please Currie just go away. I don't want Snyder to have to coach until he is 85, and ruin his legacy, just to save the program from you.

The idea of a contract extension was first mentioned by outgoing university president Kirk Schulz, Currie said. He initiated talks last week after discussing the idea with the Kansas Board of Regents.

Wonder if he rolled a big fattie with Randolph after signing this :bigtoke:
Nope, attempted high-five w/Schulz but missed.
The pit'rs who argue that Obama shouldn't get to appoint Scalia's replacement should cite this whole Schulz/Currie deal in their arguments.

I guarandamntee you that when Weber fumbles this team into the lower third of the conference and misses the NCAA tournament again next year, Weber and Currie are going to blame the growing grumbling and lack of fan support for the team's shortcomings. He might as well just say it now as a precursor to the season - just to cover all his bases.
-
Look at that, our very own A Beautiful Mind. What a tool/weirdo.

Why the hate bro?

Not directed at you P, you're not the one with the push pin and yarn board connexting the dots in this alleged conspiracy.
-
Thx for the clarification.
I officially dumped the season tix tonight. Was holding out slim hope that Schultz leaving for a realm more accepting of EcoCat would precipitate real change. Got to vote with my feet.
-
Really dislike Schultz for screwing us over with a longer John contract.
-
The BOR signed off on it, this wasn't a last minute stay of execution that no one was able to stop.
-
We should get a new BOR

I don't think the BOR has to officially sign off on contract extensions for athletic department personnel
-
Can you even imagine who Brownback would position on a new BOR? Probably better off to keep this one for a little while.

I thought Brownback appointed all of them.

Ole Miss needs a clean cut, by the book AD to clean up the mess of last night. Anyone know where a nice Southern, seersucker suit wearing AD can be found?

Anyone who wants Currie fired is insane
-
If anyone is interested in claiming www.firejohncurrie.com it should be available soon. It currently points back to goEMAW.com but I will not be renewing the registration.
-
Contact the AD and offer it to them for $10k
-
Renew it. Auction it off at FattyFest.
-
I guess it doesn't expire until next year. How would I go about putting it into the auction? I won't be able to attend.
-
Whatever I have to do, put me down for donating www.firejohncurrie.com for the auction.
-
It renewed like a month ago, you also didn't do a private registration

Does that mean John Currie could show up at my house one day and punch me in the face?

Probably an intern but yes
-
Also I own "firecurrie.today" it doesn't do anything right now but I would put it up for auction as well
-

Probably just have people bid on you turning it over to them in whatever fashion that consists of, whether that can be done now or set up to where they'd be able to get it right as it expires before anyone else could. :dunno:
-
If it's registered on godaddy it's a really easy process to transfer domain names between different owners
-
Yeah, i can transfer it immediately after the auction and it won't need renewed until March.

Sounds like a solid auction item. Maybe throw in a promise to do a crash course on how to actually do anything with it, even if it's just rerouting to here for now or displaying the word TRAJECTORY in giant letters?
-
Consider it done.
:cheers:

Also I wasn't trying to steal anybodies thunder, just trying to raise as much $$$ as possible

Currie on BITB. Tied football to men's bball. Both finished 8th. Those are normal cycles in the Big 12 apparently. Currie's on new UP search committee. He's honored to be asked to serve.
Dude will be imbedded like a tick.
