Additionally, we were told by another source “If he kept seiler on we'd have to buy more squat racks for the players.” However, this seems like speculation. I mean, someone absolutely said that, but we don’t really know what the squat rack situation is at all.
We will try to keep this thread updated as we know more.

We have sources indicating that the KSU AD will announce that LHC Bill Snyder’s run as head coach will end, and that we expect our next coach to be that LittreLL guy. Our source is not a baby monitor duct taped to the bottom of a table in the AD offices, so do not bother checking for one because that would be a waste of Univeristy resources, and no one wants that.
Additionally, we were told by another source “If he kept seiler on we'd have to buy more squat racks for the players.” However, this seems like speculation. I mean, someone absolutely said that, but we don’t really know what the squat rack situation is at all.
We will try to keep this thread updated as we know more.

1. He did well at Arizona as OC. (top 35 offense his two years).
2. He turned Indiana into a top 20 offense within 2 seasons as OC.
3. He followed that up by turning North Carolina into a top 20 offense within 2 years as OC.
4. He went to North Texas and is on the verge of back to back 9 win seasons for a program that hasn't done much for a long time.
5. Currently has the #54 recruiting class lined up for next year at North Texas.
6. My cool t-shirt design.

Word on the street is that Steve and Cathy Lacy will be getting a firm yet polite letter from Gene Taylor informing them that the plyometric ramp that they so graciously funded will be removed at a TBD date in order to make room the Liftrell-Seiler (full) squat concentration area. This will letter will include attachments reminding the Lacy's that K-State was not obligated to keep the Lacy Plyometric Ramp for any specified period.

Is the timeframe being moved back so we can announce a retirement and a new hire at the same time. Shouldn't we announce the retirement, give Snyder his day, soak it in and announce the new coach at a later time?

It was another quiet day at Kansas State.
K-State athletic director Gene Taylor hoped to meet with football coach LHC LHC Bill Snyder on Wednesday and discuss a number of topics, most importantly his future. But that meeting never transpired.
Taylor told The Eagle via text message on Wednesday afternoon that their meeting has been pushed back to another day. When might they reschedule? Taylor isn’t sure.
“Can’t promise tomorrow,” he said via text.

Taylor told The Eagle via text message on Wednesday afternoon that their meeting has been pushed back to another day. When might they reschedule? Taylor isn’t sure.
“Can’t promise tomorrow,” he said via text.
Eff you Bill.

This season was 2004. Indecision on quarterbacks, fewer than six wins, loss to Iowa State, no bowl. If you think Snyder coming back would “mush” anyone, or be anything other than 2005 all over again, you must be trying to out-Steffy yourself.

But instead, we will probably get some guy that has only head coached at North Texas, or Jim Leavitt.
The reality is that LHC Bill Snyder coming back for 2019 probably gives us the best chance at winning in 2019.
He is going to retire at some point in the next couple years. Let the process play out. Appreciate that we aren't dog-crap (14-13 in conference last three years, 24-21 last five years), which is way better than any other coach at KSU has ever done, and will most likely be better than any other coach performs going forward.

It’s hard for me to understand how someone could look at our trajectory on the recruiting trail and think it’s a good idea for the long term health of the program to let this current regime be in charge a minute longer. The new coach will need like 4 years to build the pipeline again.
Yeah but we might win 5 games in '19 instead of 4 so let's keep the old bag

imagine coaching for 27 years, only winning 2 conference titles, losing to top 10 teams over 90% of the times you play them, and still getting a highway and stadium named after you while getting 100% control over an entire program until you die. LHC Bill Snyder (RIP) has that kind of control over the steffy's of the world. very sad but it's KS so what do you expect.
he gets compared a lot to bobby bowden and frank beamer for building programs.

2 National Championships (‘93, ‘99)
12 ACC Championships (‘92-’00, ‘02,’03, ‘05)
21-10-1 in Bowl Games
1 losing season (his first) in 34 years at FSU
beems:
Big East Champion (‘95, ‘96’, ‘99)
ACC Champion (‘04, ‘07, ‘08, ‘10)
Played for National Championship in ‘99
Only 2 losing season (1st 2 season, Va Tech was dealing with crippling sanctions)

The Beamer comparison isn’t too far off, really. Especially when you consider he didn’t have to contend with a division like the Big 12 South in its heyday or Nebraska and OU on a regular basis. Obviously Bowden is overblown in every respect other than the impression they left on their respective universities. KSU ain’t never gonna be built into FSU.

Do I think Snyder should be forced out just because he had a bad season? No. But I do think that if an 80 year old cancer patient feels he is fully capable of fulfilling all head coaching responsibilities at a P5 school after a 5 win season and LOSING TO IOWA STATE, I have serious concerns about his judgment and think a little nudge out the door could be better for his overall physical and mental health.
It isn't about one bad season, or his age; he has to go because of the trajectory of the program. It isn't like we went 5-7 in a rebuilding year. This program has very little talent and what we have are serious threats to go. There is a very real possibility of this roster having some of the same issues it had in 1989, that's inexcusable if you're 39 or 79.

The North Texas boards are a fury of speculation and panic. Most of them believe that KSU is the biggest threat to steal their coach. Some do believe he'll come back for one more year to further increase his resume, but none believe he'll still be there for the 2020 season.Maybe he can finish second in his division next year and hoo boy watch the big boys come crawling after LittreLL.

Nah. Intent matters. I don’t know much, but I believe Gene and Co. put a full court press on BV, who is also far and away my first choice as well.
LittreLL would be a pretty great hire all things considered. He’s young, energetic and has shown to be a very good offensive mind who has developed strong recruiting ties to No. Texas, which is great for a team that plays at least 4 Texas teams a year.
If he has success and stays, great. If he has success and leaves, nbd. If he fails, that may suck, but he may still serve as a bridge to BV via allowing him not to follow Snyder.
The only real advantage to 3-5 years of Leavitt imo is continuity of Snyderish culture dynamics if BV would be into that type of thing for the future. But who knows if that is even a consideration for BV.
Getting onboard with LittreLL should be easy for any Cat fan.
I’m ready to be very satisfied and can’t wait for the possibility of screaming my ass off for The LittreLL-led Cats at BSFS beginning next season.

This is absolutely correct. If we can't have Venzy, we better at least make it extremely public that we tried.

Therefore, we should also announce LittreLL tomorrow for goodwill purposes.
Frankly, I hope he is here by Saturday recruiting and making staff decisions... I could see some combo of Seiler, Norwood, Klein and Hickson staying on. I also hope we give him enough money to hire a former P5 head coach as a coordinator to give him someone to lean on. Heck, I would take Beaty as an OC / TE coach.

SD, you are close to Sean. Where does he end up?!?
I'd speculate that he'd end up with my bff Mack at UNC but that's only based on my feeling and our close personal relationship.

It's crazy how well I can remember this game. Top 3 most disappointing losses for me. It was still early season so I thought OU was somewhat frauds and overrated even after they blew out UT, and then they show up and shred us with that new offense, do it again later in the Big 12 title game, and win the national title. That was a tough pill to swallow.

The entire first half was just disbelief. I couldn't believe they were doing what they did to us. Then when we got it figured out and finally the punt return, I thought we for sure would win. Then more disappointment. Crazy day.

That was a tough pill to swallow.
also, it's crazy how good Beasley was at moving the pocket and extending plays. IMO he was really good and was killed by drops. too bad for him to follow bishop.

i am almost embarrassed how much i hated Heupel that year......almost.......also the title game in Arrowhead is the coldest i have ever been at a college football gameSame[youtube]https://youtu.be/w26au2Xvn64?t=1521[/youtube]
Awesome, so he knows what a seething pit of noise and venom BSFS can be.
It's crazy how well I can remember this game. Top 3 most disappointing losses for me. It was still early season so I thought OU was somewhat frauds and overrated even after they blew out UT, and then they show up and shred us with that new offense, do it again later in the Big 12 title game, and win the national title. That was a tough pill to swallow.
also, it's crazy how good Beasley was at moving the pocket and extending plays. IMO he was really good and was killed by drops. too bad for him to follow bishop.
also also, holy crap at the hits heupel took. like half of them would have been penalties today IMO

Looking more and more like Bill is going to force Gene to fire him. Ugh...
Here is my uninformed guess, Taylor told Bill that on this upcoming Monday they are going to announce the next head coach and that it would be preferable if that announcement was preceded by his retirement. Bill called Meyers and Meyers backed Taylor, Bill may have then tried to talk to some donors or board of regents but found no support. Now he is just waiting it out to the last minute in case the coach negotiations fall through and he can somehow slip into being the coach again for next year.
Meanwhile it sounds like Taylor has been plotting this for awhile and after an honest run at BV he settled on LittreLL who is a big 12 guy, successful head coach and a strong recruiting network. Providing that LittreLL can get good assistants, this seems like Taylor did a really good job navigating a tough issue for KSU. I hope it all comes together ASAP.

Perhaps he has other priorities, especially now that his son is on the Clemson team... I can’t blame him. I hope something wild happens and he reversed course, but if LittreLL is named the next coach I will be pretty excited. I hope we give him a ton of support and money for staff.

I don’t see him as being scared either so I’m convinced he’s just not ambitious enough to want a HC job at this point. As someone with very little career ambition I could totally understand him wanting to focus on what he loves doing instead of all the administrative headaches that come with being a HC.

I think this is a small portion of it. I also think there is a lot to the idea that he doesn’t want to be the guy who follows Snyder. I haven’t heard the door is completely closed yet either...but it probably is. For now.

Yes, his son could lose a year of eligibility and transfer to a team that is a long ways for competing for a national or even conference championship. Only his son could say if that is a good choice.
If he says no, my sense is that you are right that he looks at the job and says “this isn’t what I want for myself / my family.” Personally, I commend those people as opposed to calling them stupid, scared, etc. (which I realize few people are actually calling him that).

Yes, his son could lose a year of eligibility and transfer to a team that is a long ways for competing for a national or even conference championship. Only his son could say if that is a good choice.
If he says no, my sense is that you are right that he looks at the job and says “this isn’t what I want for myself / my family.” Personally, I commend those people as opposed to calling them stupid, scared, etc.
I think you misread that.
Yeah, I didn’t mean to sound like the poster was calling him scared, stupid, etc. I was referring to a small minority of others.

my reaction to LittreLL being in the bag, but wanting venables
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KT23uB5XaXg
is there a shot still, how much would we pay him? can he really say no to a 3 million dollar raise? toss your sons 250k each if it bothers them that much that he "sold them on clemson" which is also a really weak excuse. but if he's this hard to convince, i'd rather a guy who actually wants to be a successful head coach.
We offered BV $5.2mm and $4mm additional to his assistant/recruiting pool.

I still think bv wants to go straight to a better job like Auburn or something
I don’t really believe that. Maybe actual coaches have a different perspective, but if you take like a top 10 job as a new coach your leash will be extremely short. If you can’t have reasonable success at a place like KSU after a few years, you weren’t gonna last more than 3 at the highest profile jobs. So why try skipping straight there?

Likewise, KSU will most likely have a longer prior of grace than a random SEC school.

Mostly because similar assistants to him are getting better jobs than Kansas State. I don't think KSU is an easier job than Auburn or Florida and anyone in their right mind would choose the higher profile job.

I don't know why he isn't on your radar... Maybe you guys just fell in love with LittreLL and can't see past him.
And I understand why. It's not like every single place LittreLL has ever coached in his life has hired a new HC since he started at North Texas without bothering to interview him. GA at Kansas, OC at Arizona and Indiana... And of course, coached at Texas Tech and North Carolina, who both hired new coaches just last month. I'm sure whatever reasoning made UNC decide to prop up the mummified corpse of Mack Brown was very compelling.
And when you can bring in a coach with the raw sex appeal of Matt Wells?
(https://2hbs3q1gce7v3ovpvh34am44-wpengine.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Matt-Wells.jpg)
Good god, no wonder LittreLL isn't going to Tech. Kirby Hocutt was probably leaning over his own desk, pants around ankles and contract ready for signature as soon as Wells stormed into Lubbock and hit him with his own Dockers-dropping version of Blue Steel.
Makes perfect sense. LittreLL never had a real fair shake there.

5.2 would've put BV in the top 10 of public university coaching salaries. Just behind Herman (5.5), just ahead of Frost (5).
good to know we are trying at least.
So how do we think it all went down? Why the delay until Sunday night? I have zero clue about how any of this works, but is it possible that Gene urged Bill to retire, Bill called his bluff and said "fire me and give me my $X million," and then they came to some sort of middle-road settlement? And coming to that settlement is what caused the delay? Need someone ITK to shed some light on this.
saw kellis hint at that and some posts elsewhere suggesting that he was forced out. especially since he hasn't said anything.

It was only two collages.
I mean, a third might have given Colin an NFL job and Meek a pulitzer.

We have sources indicating that the KSU AD will announce that LHC LHC LHC Bill Snyder’s run as head coach will end, and that we expect our next coach to be that LittreLL guy. Our source is not a baby monitor duct taped to the bottom of a table in the AD offices, so do not bother checking for one because that would be a waste of Univeristy resources, and no one wants that.
I mean, Pete never even said we were gonna get Litrell. If that got scooped I think credit has to go to POWL.

It was pretty brilliant of the AD to leak this info. Get people accustomed to the idea of hiring LittreLL. That way, by the time the official announcement is made, no one is going, "WTF? North Texas???"
Yes, and (improv joke!) it gave hope and an expectation to the fambase for a exciting new hire which put more pressure on LHOFformerHCBS to step down peacefully.

Who do you think the most likely hire is at this point?
Betting favorite seems to be LittreLL as it has the most smoke around it. Doesn't mean it's a done deal, just that it seems to have the most noise surrounding it and there is no noise around anything else at this time. But K-State did hire a search firm, so maybe something gets leaked out of that. The posters at goEMAW seem to think it's LittreLL for a while now, but they aren't the most serious of posters.
On the flip side, I would say Sean Snyder has no chance. Also appears Venables is not an option either. Contrary to popular demand, still seems like Leavitt is not a favorite either, but maybe still on the list further down.
If it's not SL, then it seems to be anyone's guess as the next top options as there hasn't been any buzz around the others so everyone is throwing darts trying to come up with a list.
Who does this fuckstick think he is?

@cas4ksu I hope you know that part of the reason this blog is on life support is because you stopped doing the csourky's, so people stopped trying. But the good news is, it's not too late for the csourky's redemption song.

2. Part of Bill's deal was that Sean gets to stay on as a coach.
3. Sounds like it's between CK and SL. The Sean deal could be sticking point in the process......
4. Was told that BV wasn't a real candidate and they didn't offer him.

Clearly, Pete was right with his information ITT. However, the news recently broke that Meyer is out at tOSU. Should we re-open our coaching search to at least give him an interview? His ability to look the other way could bring back MCMW in a big way, and he wins everywhere he goes.
Too late, stuck with LittreLL. Gene should've been going after one of the big 3 months ago regardless of their employment at the time.

All of this is awful news. I mean Sean’s historically been a very good STC, so I guess I don’t care in that respect, but that means we’ll never break out of the prison of our own making as far as “Snyder tree” bs

The ndsu coach is actually an option? Gene can get mumped if true.
i'm not convinced he's a bad option or any worse than SL
i am pissed that snyder can't let go and now apparently has insisted that he will be involved in naming part of the new coach's staff (sean), while he casts his already huge shadow over the program in his newly appointed position as special ambassador. it's bad enough following the guy and coaching in the stadium named after him.

To give Gene a little credit though, the difference between Snyder stepping down and being fired is in the millions of dollars to the school. So a little negotiation is appropriate.
Post by: pissclams on December 04, 2018, 10:15:46 AM
and the issue isn't whether or not sean is qualified to stay on, it's that the new coach is being forced to keep him on.

i think i knew this and forgot about it. crap!
Zero chance this is accurate in any meaningful sense.
Agreed
Mack agreed that Sean could have a job on his staff.

Some hurtful things starting to be said about us over at gomeangreen.com.
My favorite comments are the ones about how LittreLL's "build a family" approach to coaching would never fly at a Big 12 program.
Yes a real lack of awareness on display there.

Strong question. Petros means "rock". And North Texas is a little bit country, not a little bit rock and roll.
Also, I think that having some experience as a coach is probably a good prerequisite for a coaching job with us. Maybe it's presumptuous, but I like to presume a certain standard anyway.

Career RB/WR coach. Never been a coordinator.
But hey, they are part of the family or whatever.

LittreLL sees Dodds column describing K-State as existing on the edge of the world, and BoTC posts reinforcing that vision
LittreLL sees goEMAW "Fire Litrell" thread
Let's see here....does a G5 coach decide that's enough to stay at little North Texas in Denton, or does he say "eff it," don the purple and cash a huge flipping check?

If that's true, I'd view that as a positive character indicator. And it wouldn't cripple us if he wore both hats for a few weeks.
Beyond that, the only issue that I think rises to the level of "problem" (which is vastly different from a "hiccup," I'll suggest) is if he wants the team to wear purple parachute pants with sequins when they run onto the field. THAT would be a problem.

(Man, I wish I had to photoshop skills for a dancing Litrell in purple sequined parachute pants with the stadium in the background....hint, hint)
That's only an issue if ADGT is certain someone is worth holding over (contractually, probably) in a new staff. There's some I think highly of, but not worth losing your target over. I can't imagine ADGT feels that strongly about a single coach.
And if so...move someone around. Make up a role. Hell, call one a "special ambassador" role. Ha.

GT must be insisting that LittreLL give up the smokeless tobacco.
Rumor I heard (A+++++ source) is that during is that during the interview LittreLL started packing his can of Copenhagen REALLY, REALLY loud. The following exchange followed:
GT: Hey, what was that?
SL: I'm packing my can.
GT: Can of what?
SL: Can of dip.
GT: Woahhhhh... can you do that again?
SL: Sure. *keeps doing this for the next 30 minutes*
GT: Wow, Seth. That's really impressive. I'd like to schedule a future interview with you so I can listen to you pack your can of "dip" (he used air quotes) a little longer.
SL: Yeah, ok. That should work fine.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN: My source (once again A+++++++) didn't want to speculate. But methinks it means that Gene is ready to PACK suitcases full of money and Copenhagen for Seth.

I get that we're anxious, but it's a good character trait to handle the transition in a positive, respectful and professional way....for both the 'winning' and 'losing' program.
Assuming this all shakes out as we anticipate, it's been a great testament to ADGT, Meyers, and LittreLL. *Fingers crossed* I've not jinxed us.

Why does timing matter all that much. This class is probably not all that important in the grand scheme of things.it better not be about the money.......Gene should know you give your top target what they want.......if it doesn't work out down the road, fine, fire him.....but you don't sabotage or cripple his ability to put together the staff he wants on the front end.

It can’t really be about money. The elephant in the room is this hire and the next 4-5 years is critical going into the next round if realignment. We’re going to continue to see a flurry of activity around facilities upgrades and program upgrades to keep us attractive. Why do you think KU is spending money on football suddenly? They know they could get left out.

If you can't lie to a recruit knowing fully you are lying to that recruit, well then, I just don't want you as a football coach.
Let's pretend you're talking about exaggerations or white lies, 'cause if you're talking about serious stuff, not only can you quickly run afoul of the NCAA, but your credibility, and your program, is quickly shot.

Let's keep in mind how SL handles his departure from UNT is a reflection of what we'll experience on our end if/when he departs here down the road.
I get that we're anxious, but it's a good character trait to handle the transition in a positive, respectful and professional way....for both the 'winning' and 'losing' program.

thats my point on the OV I guess. I'd like to think that if SL has a deal in place today he didn't do an inhome Wednesday and schedule an OV for Saturday.

It isn’t going to be a very good class either way. The next class should leap frog that class on the depth chart. If not there are bigger problems.

well of course, you want your recruiting to improve each year, but if we can flip a few kids now, that will be crucial for the next couple of years.

well of course, you want your recruiting to improve each year, but if we can flip a few kids now, that will be crucial for the next couple of years.
So it seems like Norwood and Sieler have couple recruits tied to their hip if they stay aboard. Seth can bring 5-6ish of his top UNT commits. Hopefully part of his new staff can bring on some commits too. That probably can get the singing day class to about 20.
All this can be done if things get wrapped up in a week. So I don’t think timing is super important, yet. But still the class would consist of K-State’s current recruits plus C-USA recurits. So not very good.
But yes, there is a chance to sign 3-5 kids that are above this level if things can get wrapped up soon. But I don’t think that makes or breaks anything.

I am a North Texas fan, graduate, etc., and I come in peace.
I've rather enjoyed jumping back and forth between the message boards over the last couple weeks (love a good coaching carousel even if my coach is in the middle of it), and I thought I'd throw some info I'm hearing into the hat.
The biggest things this morning is from some UNT boosters and recruiting - as I'm sure most of you know, there was a big silence from SL last week when all this fired up that's largely continued until last night, when he hit the recruiting trail again. According to a few recruits I follow on Twitter and people I have RTing them, they've suddenly ramped up scheduling official visits again (a few this weekend and into early next week). So whatever SL has in his brain, it appears he's at least trying to help NT recruiting through at least next week (our bowl game is next Saturday).
This one you can take with a grain of salt, as it's very "I heard this from this person who heard it from this person" - but word is out from the Dallas Country Club SL is a part of (along with a good number of NT boosters) that he either had an offer finalized from KState, or there were talks but nothing formal was ever put forth, and it was either rejected or he's going to be mulling over it for awhile longer.

Gotta say you lot seem nice enough and I believe Pete.
I’d imagine that LittreLL is out on these trips to try and leave the program in as good of shape as possible while pretty much lying to everyone who asks him about it aka players and recruits as the deal closes. The ol’ Tom Herman move.

And then when I worked in SI for the control freak dealing with those other Big 8 schools I secretly adored. My blood boiled in hatred when I ran onto the field, with hundred of other Mean Green fans (dressed in purple, you know.....disguises FTW!), screaming and crying after K-State beat my beloved North Texas and that skinny bastard was jumping for joy.
Oh, and don't get me started on how many closet Mean Green fans were there in KC on that horrific nightmare of a night about 20 years ago. We had to cheer until our voices were hoarse by the 3rd quarter. Was a shame when I couldn't get the "Snyder Sucks!" chant going once those Mildcats were up by 3 scores.
And I hate how much I've spent over the years on ugly purple clothes, pointless airline tickets, stupid alumni seats in that eyesore of a purple stadium and such over the years. Man, a little grass-green would really liven the place up.

Well, there's 3 reasons: flee that effing insane real estate market (Boise is dirt cheap to live in), a wife's career move, and staging to scout out K-State's recruiting flank in Idaho. It's the next Florida for recruiters, ya know.
Okay, so there's those 2 reasons. And I hope to see a decent Potato Bowl option on that smurf turf. Still hoping. BTW....yes. Don't adjust your TV. It's THAT color blue. Makes your eyes hurt just looking at it.
The negatives? Idaho. And the flights to little MHK on the edge of the cliff are now an all-day event to get to games. But those 2 reasons (the cost of living ones) make those flights a whole lot more doable. So there's that part.

He was supposed to be in Denton, but I didn’t see that confirmation. Either way, if he’s making that move, it absolutely makes sense for exactly that back-and-forth on short flights.

Just FYI- most likely you will not be able to track the KSU private planes. When you have a private plane, you can hide your activity from the public. You just don’t allow them to publish your tail number. But I do hope he has been in Manhattan! :ksu:
You can hide registration, but not the flight.

^^ Correct. I know people that are in the know on this subject. Used to track company jet all the time we'd know what airports they would fly out of and into so we would know how mumped we were in the morning if they came to us. They got super pissed when they found out we could do it and tried to block it.

I’ll point out that “meeting with Georgia Tech” folks earlier in the week probably refers to the NYC gathering and any discussion there. Lots changes from “earlier in the week” to now. I mean, we had Snyder as coach “earlier in the week.”

There is a “Snyder send off” at 4 pm today. How noble of Seth to withdraw after over playing his hand. I’d fire my agent if I were him.

Yep. This’ll be a K-State fan base meme with “It’s Patterson” for a decade.
I get some folks were opposed (we all want what’s best for our university, and there is a risk with anybody), but the glee seems masochistic.
This hire is critical going into realignment again. ADGT can’t eff this up or we’re starting from a weak position.

If we’re legit worried about realignment we need to be going all in on Basketball. I’m not convinced football will even be a collegiate sport in 15-20 years.
Pfftt. That’s Squawk Talk right there. :)
BB is small money in the realignment world. CFB May be different in 20 years, but realignment is right around the corner again.

We’ve learned a few things this week:
We’re not great, as a fan base, at this coach-search thing. Not a surprise.
Reporters—real ones—rely on confirmations for a reason. BBS folks want clicks, so don’t care as much.
Some of our friends here are the assholes in the family. I’m NOT talking about Pete.

if we end up with Kliemen it's an embrassment. Is there a Taylor quote about him not being the right fit?
I don’t know if there’s a printed quote about it, but ADGT apparently has told several reporters off the record that he not go to Kleinman or Bohls because their skills wouldn’t translate from FCS. That would haunt Gene Taylor for the next few years at every press conference and media interaction.

2. I'm not sure this wasn't a complete troll and smoke screen by Pete and the only reason LittreLL was even mentioned by the press and other fans is the momentum started by Pete to yank everyone's chain.

It was reported on this blog that Taylor said that, but it was also reported the LittreLL was a done deal... so there's that.

I had been told Leavitt last week (page 15) and I think you're right about Pete. Pretty sure he's going to get a nice kick back from Lismell after he sign's with GT because they had to pay more to get him because of tricky Pete.

Now THIS I can respect. LittreLL is exciting but unproven. If it’s an issue of LittreLL overreaching on contract terms I’m still riding shotgun with GT.
Post by: Pete on December 07, 2018, 11:13:09 AM
We have sources indicating that the KSU AD will announce that LHC Bill Snyder’s run as head coach will end, and that we expect our next coach to be that LittreLL guy. Our source is not a baby monitor duct taped to the bottom of a table in the AD offices, so do not bother checking for one because that would be a waste of Univeristy resources, and no one wants that.
Additionally, we were told by another source “If he kept seiler on we'd have to buy more squat racks for the players.” However, this seems like speculation. I mean, someone absolutely said that, but we don’t really know what the squat rack situation is at all.
We will try to keep this thread updated as we know more.
Also, please remember to donate: https://www.fattyfund.org/fatty-fund-1/
KSU parts ways with LittreLL because of STAFF?!?! Red Herring.
There was a very informative post (and series of follow ups) that was placed both on KSO and goEMAW. So informative that many an eyebrow was raised. You can go rake around for the posts...they are easy to locate. These post have been read by a lot of people.

If it was over a low OU buyout....I'm 100% okay with that. Especially since LR could be gone to the NFL in a month, and we could be double-screwed.
It DOES amaze me that we're the only P5 program with an AD who's known for a year+ that we were going to have an opening....and yet we're now the only P5 program still looking. That feels bad.
I'm not sure the worries about Norvell or Leavitt are much more significant than the worries about LittreLL.
But Klieman would be a big concern on several fronts; never mind the total lack of enthusiasm he'd inject into the program and fans in the seats. I'm not sure he'd bring more energy than a Sean Snyder hire.

The speed with which this crap is coming out about LittreLL seems to be his camp leaking/covering his ass. I don't think broadcasting to his players/recruits that he was on the verge of leaving is beneficial to his North Texas program. I think its an effort to pretend like he turned us down and not the other way around to help his own image.

This 100%. Gene could have been a dick, but he let Snyder “retire” and Seth save face.

I'm sure the brown parade is in full meltdown mode, I haven't been over there yet, but there's nothing more small-timey than giving Graham Harrell over a million dollars to be an offensive coordinator. I also want no part of an entire C*USA staff, that's stupid. The staff should have been a mixture of his guys, guys currently here, and guys from somewhere else. It would also be worrisome if he had the ability to bring his whole staff. If they are so successful wouldn't one of them be in line to get the UNT job and at least one of the position coaches be in line to get promoted to a coordinator?

I'll echo this point for UNT. Not that we care, but....I've been watching the UNT boards (and a few others) lots over the last few days. The fan base online (limited, mind you) turned VERY ugly on SL very quickly. Most of it was sour grapes, but it was shocking nonetheless. Makes me thankful for our fanbase. We've got our assholes, but we're generally all unified around wanting the best for K-States (not that we don't have our trolls even on this thread). The UNT boards were widespread in their vitriol quickly.
Post by: XocolateThundarr on December 07, 2018, 12:04:10 PM
Stuff:
1. We will know by the end of the week who our coach is.
2. Part of Bill's deal was that Sean gets to stay on as a coach.
3. Sounds like it's between CK and SL. The Sean deal could be sticking point in the process......
4. Was told that BV wasn't a real candidate and they didn't offer him.
Source A++
Might not have been that far off after all.....

i agree with all of your take but what you didn't address was the rumor that sean is being forced into the new staff by bill.
it's one thing to say that SL couldn't bring his entire staff up and it's another to dictate particular members of his staff who happen to share the last name as the guy who the stadium is named after.

1. Nobody wants CK, so that’s a wash.
2. We were never going to have a great hire in hand because Snyder refused to make this a smooth transition. If he wasn’t so stubborn/borderline senile he could have said at the beginning of the season this is his last one and we could have actually locked up a contract before this week.
3. I’ll take the guy with P5 connections who can recruit. If we suck for 3 years, THEN we can fire him and hire the next up and commer on a timeline that actually makes sense.

First of all, I'm not holding Bill responsible for any of this. IF Bill made that demand, good for him for looking out for his kid. IF the demand was made and Gene Taylor honored it, that should be a fireable offense, although I'd probably think that he got word from one or more people with influence that they're good with keeping Sean. If I'm an incoming coach, I want no part of any administration forcing me to keep a particular coach. I think it's perfectly in bounds for Gene to strongly recommend keeping a couple of guys, that's different than a requirement.
All that being said if I'm a new coach, I'd absolutely want Sean Snyder as my special teams coach.

What are your understandings of the timeline you posted. KSA approved a contract at 4pm Thrusday for LittreLL? And after that he bailed? Was it because the contract KSA approved wasn't what he asked for? Or he just had second thoughts?

The meltdown at KSO makes this all sort of worth it.
I'm sure the brown parade is in full meltdown mode, I haven't been over there yet, but there's nothing more small-timey than giving Graham Harrell over a million dollars to be an offensive coordinator. I also want no part of an entire C*USA staff, that's stupid. The staff should have been a mixture of his guys, guys currently here, and guys from somewhere else. It would also be worrisome if he had the ability to bring his whole staff. If they are so successful wouldn't one of them be in line to get the UNT job and at least one of the position coaches be in line to get promoted to a coordinator?
i agree with all of your take but what you didn't address was the rumor that sean is being forced into the new staff by bill.
it's one thing to say that SL couldn't bring his entire staff up and it's another to dictate particular members of his staff who happen to share the last name as the guy who the stadium is named after.
First of all, I'm not holding Bill responsible for any of this. IF Bill made that demand, good for him for looking out for his kid. IF the demand was made and Gene Taylor honored it, that should be a fireable offense, although I'd probably think that he got word from one or more people with influence that they're good with keeping Sean. If I'm an incoming coach, I want no part of any administration forcing me to keep a particular coach. I think it's perfectly in bounds for Gene to strongly recommend keeping a couple of guys, that's different than a requirement.
All that being said if I'm a new coach, I'd absolutely want Sean Snyder as my special teams coach.
the point is that the demand that Sean would need to stay on is a giant red flag for any incoming coach. The "following a legend" issue is one thing, it's entirely something else when the legend hasn't really moved on and he's positioned to unduly influence what is supposedly your program.
lastly, there are a lot of ways for Bill to look out for his kid without further burdening the k-state football program. and my point has nothing to do with the quality of coach that sean is.
bill needs to understand that our program does not belong to him regardless of what he thinks he sees through his cataract filled eyes.

I think MIR is right on. There’s a big difference between an AD saying “here are the people you have to include on your staff” and an AD saying “Oh, so your plan as a P5 head coach is to bring an entire G5 staff who has only been moderately successful in CUSA? Well thanks so much for your time we’ll be sure to give you a call if we need anything else.”
I mean thats pretty much debunked in that Graham Harrell took the OC job at WVU last night right? If he was part of the entire posse moving I don't see him bailing that fast.

My understanding of the situation from Blackcats’ and others’ posts is that Gene balked at LittreLL demanding crazy high salaries for at least the OC position if not the entire staff earlier in the week. At that point GT began negotiating with one or more other candidates and reached an agreement in principle (including getting a contract approved by KSA) Thursday evening with someone else. GT then told LittreLL we’re going a different direction so LittreLL “withdrew” from consideration.

I agree with all of that, but LHC Bill Snyder is in no position to be telling anyone what to do. If Sean is a package deal, that's 100% on Gene Taylor and/or Carl Ice.

^^^ This.
2. We were never going to have a great hire in hand because Snyder refused to make this a smooth transition. If he wasn’t so stubborn/borderline senile he could have said at the beginning of the season this is his last one and we could have actually locked up a contract before this week.
If BS 2.0 holding the program hostage is ultimately responsible for this fail-to-hire, then he deserves nothing but disdain, and not the ball-sucking that he is actually getting from all of the ignorant, mediocrity-loving KSU fans, blubbering in their soup over all the Bill-cult sap.
Additionally, it makes him no different from any other rich old white man in the country, believing the he/they alone know best what should become of those that follow behind him/them, rather than allowing the next generation (if you will) the respect and courtesy of determining their own destiny.

We can argue (and I'd agree) that he does damage by not retiring last year or by not staying hip for recruits, or suggesting that Sean would be a great HC, but that's not the same as some have suggested.
So let's stay a little bit on this side of "total meltdown nut-jobby" in our speculation, shall we?

What part of Littrells persona and demeanor makes anyone think he doesn’t have full confidence he’s going to crush it next year and get a good P5 job? If he actually executes on that is another thing but that dude ain’t looking in the rear view mirror kicking himself I can promise you that.
Right. If anything I think he’s probably overconfident and right now some combination of him/his agent think he’s worth more than anyone is willing to give him so he’s gonna go out and kick ass until people recognize that.
Honestly good for him if that’s the case/his mindset, but I wouldn’t fault GT (and likely others) for saying we’re not gonna pay you like a top 15-20 coach until we’re more convinced that’s what you are.

It only makes sense if GT was doing it as a bargaining tactic. Like, if you accept my terms the cash is yours as soon as you sign the dotted line.
Otherwise the AD isn’t going to go get approval for terms every time he’s working through the details of a contract with a candidate.

the AD isn’t going to go get approval for terms every time he’s working through the details of a contract with a candidate.

Anything west of Topeka is western Kansas.It’s just down the road from me (Larned)
I got married there. was wild. (jk, wasn't wild at all).
I get* to return several times a year for holidays and such.
* :frown:
Would you classify Larned as "Central KS" or "Western KS"?
West of Topeka OR 30 minutes south of i70

Regarding Norvell?
I'm speculating, but it makes some sense.
Gene is working with Sexton. Both LittreLL and Norvell are candidates. One falls though, they move to another. It's Norvell.
Last night, Sexton leaks to national reporters. One connects Norvell to K-State. One says LittreLL walked away.
Both benefit Sexton. One client raises his profile and maybe gets a pay boost for he or his staff. One client jumps to a P5 school after an okay season. Win win for almost all parties after K-Staters get over their infatuation with LittreLL which was all fan/media driven.

Norvell worth giving a crap about? Seems kinda meh to me after my research (1.5 minutes on Wikipedia).
Of the options left, he and Brown would be my top two. Brown slightly ahead, but not by much. Both are probably about equal with LittreLL if I'm honest.

Yes this is the key.
I mean I literally gave zero fucks about LittreLL until the gE hype machine rolled into town. I’d still probably prefer him purely due to having stronger Texas ties, but otherwise Brown/LittreLL/Norvell are very similar prospects for KSU.

Candidates grade 0-100 Maybe this is a year where best candidate only grades an 87 v 97.
KK asked about Norvell. Stan brings up Darrell Ray Dickey (played at KState, dad was HC) who was Memphis OC before going to aTm, DRD really.likes him but that was two years ago when they last talked.

lol does this guy pay attention to college football? 84 schools have changed coaches in the last three years.
13 coaches (out of 130) have stayed at the same job for a decade, mainly because most of them are the best in the history of the school they coach: saban, cutcliffe, dabo, dantonio, fitzgerald, patterson, etc.
unless gene hires babers, we'll be doing this coach search thing again by 2022.

Yeah sorry if unclear. Stan was not saying the next guy will be here a decade, but this hire will impact the next decade.Stan on 810 with KK
Not worried about timeline. This week, nect week. Doesnt matter as decision will impact next 10 years.
lol does this guy pay attention to college football? 84 schools have changed coaches in the last three years.
13 coaches (out of 130) have stayed at the same job for a decade, mainly because most of them are the best in the history of the school they coach: saban, cutcliffe, dabo, dantonio, fitzgerald, patterson, etc.
unless gene hires babers, we'll be doing this coach search thing again by 2022.
Even a 3 year coach can have a 10 year impact.

Gotta be sitting on something significant if trash Arky passes.Can any super sleuth discover why Norvell wasn't hired by Arky? They interviewed but didn't offer as HC to replace Bret.I don’t know that we need to be taking life advice from Arky
Eh, probably not significant. Chad Morris had one more year experience at a AAC program but Morris was at Clemson before SMU.

so fuente arrives at va tech, takes over a program rated similar to his memphis team, and gets them to #15 his first year (10-4, 6-2). his second year, he gets them to #21 (9-4, 5-3). this year, his third, they finished #63 (6-6, 4-4) - with a shocking loss to old dominion where VT was a 28-pt favorite.
now they're 6-6 and heading to the Military Bowl presented by Northrop Grumman!
meanwhile, as all this is going on, mike norvell is humming along at memphis. the tigers got slightly worse in year 1 (from #48 to #50), they improved to #32 in year 2, and this year they fell back a bit to #48. what will next year bring? nobody knows. and we may not find out. why? because perhaps gene has seen enough! he might want to bring in norvell, the three-year program maintainer, here to manhattan, and see if he can pull off his first ever rebuild!
this is so exciting! everybody give it up for three-year sample sizes where literally any other coach probably could have pulled off the same exact results!

Army/Navy trivia and Roger Staubach love then coaching search...
Not worried about timeline. This week, nect week. Doesnt matter as decision will impact next 10 years. AD doing due diligence and conducting a methodical search. He has no insider info but every confidence in AD
Candidates grade 0-100 Maybe this is a year where best candidate only grades an 87 v 97.
KK asked about Norvell. Stan brings up Darrell Ray Dickey (played at KState, dad was HC) who was Memphis OC before going to aTm, DRD really.likes him but that was two years ago when they last talked.

if it was not the year that your top couple candidates were available then we should have stayed with our current situation until the time was right to strike.
I'm on the side of you don't get rid of what you have until you already know with confidence that you have something better
i know they can't write a contract in advance but I'm sure Gene could measure the temps of these guys before the job opened up
you don't get rid of a coach rated #50 if your best alternative is a coach rated #57

Going to need a lot more foreplay to get excited about Norvell.
Yes this is the key.
I mean I literally gave zero fucks about LittreLL until the gE hype machine rolled into town. I’d still probably prefer him purely due to having stronger Texas ties, but otherwise Brown/LittreLL/Norvell are very similar prospects for KSU.
Norvell got beat by a mediocre/decent missouri team something like 65-20. Didn't UCF outscore memphis like 45-7 in the 2nd half?
just because you score a lot of points in a shitty league doesn't mean you can compete against the P5s
i don't want to be TX Tech
pass on memphis
can we just become UCF fans. they win a lot and get left out of the big time games. Thats what we all grew to love

Here is the deal: if we all really care about KSTATE: email MR. Taylor. Who is a great athletic director and let him know your feeling. Weather that is for the NDSU coach or not, give him some fan feedback. We will all love KSU forever. Email is below. I just want the best for our university. It is an awesome place and family culture.If he's a great AD, I shouldn't need to give him feedback. And maybe jokes on me, Klieman could come here and crush it (highly doubt it), but he can pull out his giant balls and put them in all our faces if so. But if not, he can get mumped and disappear.

I don’t know the NDSU coach personally. But I can tell you he has never recruited the state of TX, OK, LA, AR, GA, MS. Which is what we have to be the king in the Big 12.
I’ll take my odds. We should reconsider what we are doing right now. Don’t post!!!!! —-email your AD you love, that respects our university. Be polite and fill up his in box. Otherwise you guys just complain and speculate. I’m sorry, but that’s the truth. Speak your mind, email Mr. Taylor. I have no doubt in my mind if it is respectful he will appreciate your feedback. These messages boards are all talk, so who wants to really tell KSU what they think? You can create a fake email account sure, but be respectful wildcat fans. Bottom line speak your truthful respectful mind.

so justin fuente went to memphis. he turned them around almost immediately, taking them from 107th to 39th to 48th. virginia tech took notice, and they're like "woah, let's hire the memphis coach! he will save us!"
so fuente arrives at va tech, takes over a program rated similar to his memphis team, and gets them to #15 his first year (10-4, 6-2). his second year, he gets them to #21 (9-4, 5-3). this year, his third, they finished #63 (6-6, 4-4) - with a shocking loss to old dominion where VT was a 28-pt favorite.

Venables: We offered him a crap ton of money (per blackcats) and he said no.
LittreLL: After our dream boat rejected us, we moved on to LittreLL and basically had everything wrapped up and he decided to throw us under the bus at the last minute (per PETE), waste several weeks of our coaching search and make comments about being happy at UNT who he will dump for someone else probably soon -- Classic Sooner FWIW
After those two public messes, we are now down to the following options:
1) Praying that Venables has a change of heart - Odds of about 0.5%
2) Considering the Memphis coach Norvell - Odds of about 14.5%
3) Considering Leavitt and Kleinman - Odds of about 75%
4) Panicking with backup plans of Wolford, Sean and who knows what - Odds of about 10%

I haven’t heard any rumors about interest in Leavitt. And Blackcats has confirmed 3 different times that NSDU guy is not happening.
Thanks. I believe I saw here or elsewhere that Taylor met with Leavitt a long time ago, but apparently had moved on. I am not sure if Leavitt comes back into play.
Truthfully, I can't see a massive difference between Mike Norvell, Neal Brown and Seth LittreLL. However, I think perception is everything... KSU fans seemed to rally behind LittreLL after Venables said 'no' and now we all have egg in our face. Even if we landed Norvell or Brown it seems like it will be hard to regain the positive perception.

“Come in,” Gene oozes in his velvety baritone. The oak door creaks as I cross the threshold. I’m trembling.
“GFA,” he croons. “Finally.” He’s smiling. He’s wearing a velvet robe. There’s smoke in the air. It smells like a mixture of tobacco and North Dakotan grass. There’s a soft clink of glass and ice as he puts down his scotch on a nearby table. “You’ve seen the news?” I whimper.
“I... I did. I saw. It’s Venzy.” He’s triumphant.
“Yes. Yes, it was always Venzy, I’m afraid. I saw your post.” He’s crossing the room.
I would give myself to gene
“My secretary faxed it to me.”
I’m filled with a mixture of regret but also... yes, yes it was excitement. Deep down, I wanted this. Gene approaches me, closer and closer. I’m shaking now, but I’m ready.
“A bold promise, I have to say. I admire your dedication to your alma mater.”
“T-thank you, sir.” He’s inches away now. I can smell a hint of the Iowa on him. He’s never really washed it off.
“So. Tonight is my night. You will give yourself to me. I am going to enter you...”
Oh god.
“...into my weekly spades group.”
“...come again?”
“Spades,” he says harmlessly. “The card game. We play once a week. I’m very skilled, so I’ll be having my way with you all night, I have to say. As you know, Sean and Dr. Wefald were both tragically killed, so my partner and I need two new guys.”
He’s opening a second door. There’s smoke here too, thicker, and it’s dim. I squint through the haze. I see a frail looking man in a windbreaker and a headset. It’s Bill. Of course. And behind him... my god, that jaw... those piercing eyes... it could only be...
“That’s right,” murmurs Gene. “It’s Venzy. Let’s play cards.”

LOL— I’m connected to the program. Never spoke one word negative about our institution. I am/will try to help you all. But, I have to say as part of one of the largest parts/pieces of the program. You have no solutions, besides complain in life. We at KSU are about rising above everyone else. Figuring out our problem (coaching) and kicking that around until we find the solution. I have my opinions, the KSU people have theirs. You people that our gossipers are the cancer of our organization. You voice your opinion to the correct people (ADGT) then you did your job..

Otherwise you are just a person that runs their mouth behind a key board. Which is what is wrong with this society. After reading and listening to all this I hope you will be with me.

No, it will not. KSU is headed back to the days when you could count on one of the homecoming parade floats being a giant toilet with a jayhawk and rabies Willie circling the drain. It's cute that some of these retards think it matters who's eventually hired.

I appreciate your passion for KSTATE. But you guys have no idea what’s going on in the coaching search. Not do you understand the impact the actual fans/donors can have on the selection. You all are a bunch of internet junkies with no skin in the game. Make a difference in life. Quit complaining and do something. You guys are worthless and don’t represent KSTATE.

I would also rather have the NDSU dork because it's trying someone that could possibly be amazing. Yeah he will likely go down in flames but he's an unknown. Norvell probably won't be amazing based on his three years at Memphis.

That said, I’m not sure there ever is a scenario where NDSU guy is our best option. If all else fails just find ourselves a Beatty (proven recruiter, total crapshoot of a coach), pay him next to nothing and build up the war chest, and fire him as soon as the next hot prospect comes available.
Post by: Dr Rick Daris on December 08, 2018, 09:13:56 AM
OK so why no mention of Cale Gundy or Bill Bedenbaugh from OU at all? No they haven't been head coaches but everything else about them looks really good.

Like, hating Leavitt because he might have Sean Snyder on staff is pretty dumb. Pretty much every coach has some dead weight from their good ole boy network, Sean's no worse than them.
This situation has made me join the Leavitt train.

I posted this elsewhere, but I think Moorehead at Mississippi St is a good example for Kleinman. Moorehead realized that the FCS to P5 jump was not going to happen. So, he left a successful head coaching career to be an OC at Penn State. If Taylor thinks that Kleinman is great, and Kleinman wants to be a P5 head coach, then let’s make Kleinman our Co-DC (he makes $300,000 now) and see what happens... it could work out well for both parties.

Yeah, the biggest (not only) problem with that is we’re staging for the next conference realignment chaos with this hire. We need to be a solid program, good facilities, and winning WITHOUT the Snyder name or we can end up toast in C-USA or MWC. Then being good won’t matter.

Leavitt record in conference games: 25-26 (from the mighty Conference USA and Big East). After he had 5 years to build up the program, they were in CUSA for two years and then the Big East for 5. He had losing conference records in three of those seven years and never won more than four conference games in the Big East. He won more than eight games in the regular season one time after they joined a conference (the year they rose into the top 5 and absolutely cratered down the stretch).

Definitely fair to credit Leavitt for building USF from nothing. But, he also had the benefit of an NFL stadium and could have built his entire roster recruiting within 100 miles of Tampa - two enormous luxuries.
I think the red flags or concerns with Leavitt are the fact that he’s 62 and hasn’t been a head coach in 10 years. We’d have to hope that he built a great staff. But he does have the potential to do that with such a wide coaching background.

Earlier today I wrote Gene Taylor an email summarizing my feelings on the potential Klieman hiring. I was cordial but firm in my feelings that he is not suited for a P5 job. A key point I made was that Gene took a demotion by leaving NDSU for Iowa to improve his resume in hopes of earning a P5 job. Why shouldn’t we hold Klieman to the same standard?
I wasn’t planning on sharing the emails but I think Gene’s reply is telling and one the board should see. ADGT reply is below:
refuse to lose,
Thanks very much for reaching out and sharing your concerns. Although contrary to popular belief we have not made a decision on our next football coach but we are close. We have outstanding candidates that we interviewed and all of them are excellent coaches that will be able to lead our program to outstanding snd long term success.
Just some points on Coach Klieman and his coaching ability. He was defensive coordinator at NDSU when NDSU came into LHC Bill Snyder Family Stadium in 2013 and beat s pretty good Kansas State team. In 2014 his first year as the head coach at NDSU he went in his first game of the season and beat Iowa State 37-14 and shortly after that Kansas State beat Iowa State 32-28. This year we struggled to beat South Dakota 27-24 and NDSU beat them 52-14. In 2016 NDSU went into Iowa and beat a very good Iowa team very similarly to how they beat K State in 2013. So don’t sell any candidate short in their ability to coach as if you do that then there might be a great candidate that pulls out due to not being accepted even before a potential opportunity to even be offered the position.
Again, we are close to making a final decision but have not yet.

I’d not read that much into it. Remember, Taylor did hire the guy once, so he probably feels a little defensive under the onslaught in the first place.
But, if Kleinman is who ends up as a coach, Taylor will have to do a better selling job than that. And you have to repeat that selling job at every media event until we’re a bowl team.

only a kstate Ad would be impressed by a coach who beat ksu once and isu once. i can't imagine any other school would see those 2 wins as a reason to hire a coach.
tell me he beat OU or Clemson and you'll have my ear.
we are hiring a new coach for a reason. people are unhappy with our program. so having a win against a team no one thinks is very good is not very impressive

I wouldn't be excited over Leavitt, but at least I wouldn't be terrified of the program being further destroyed.im bored with 7-5 and 5-7 seasons
id rather be shitty for a while if it meant we could win the league every now and then
im not really interested in being mediocre
i say take some risk and aim high. if we fail, just try again
you will be just as pissed off with 6-6 as you are at 3-9
Yeah, the biggest (not only) problem with that is we’re staging for the next conference realignment chaos with this hire. We need to be a solid program, good facilities, and winning WITHOUT the Snyder name or we can end up toast in C-USA or MWC. Then being good won’t matter.

This bullshit is no different that people being afraid that we'll go back to 1988 without Snyder. Get some backbone, man.

Didn’t he and his dad(on the board) have like a colossal meltdown the last time this happened? Or am I thinking of someone else?
Nope, you're correct, that's them.
This sounds very familiar. Can't remember any details.
As memory serves(I’m several drinks in) he and his dad basically melted down and ended their rant with Bate almost on “let’s check up on this guy” watch to make sure they were ok. It was quite the day/night on GPC if I remember right.
It was the first and only time people I witnessed the collapse of man's life basically live-streamed on a sports BBS. Was very disturbing and yet strangely exhilarating.

I'll be honest with you..CK did take the reins from bohl 5 years ago but he's been here the whole tenure and hes made the best program better. All of his defenses has been #1 or close to it. His team right now is top 15 in the country with his recruits. I think theres a blueprint on ndsus success that would flourish at kstate. It all starts on the OL where he'll get those strong Kansas small town farm boys mad and gel together.I'm hearing some good things about the head football coach at NDSU.

He'll hopefully scrap the stupid ass spread and get a real man's offense. CK will have coached Wentz and now Stick...one was 2nd overall and Easton is going to rocket up the draft boards because hes been a pro style his entire career...now hes calling audibles like Carson.
As an ndsu fan, CK as a coach is too good for fcs. I haven't gone to a game all year because they've been blowouts.

NDSU beat K-State, beat Iowa State, beat Iowa . . . good for them, but each of those programs has proven they can crap the bed to nearly anybody on any given Saturday, and they've proven it repeatedly. My gawd Drake was beating Iowa State for a lot of the game.

Moorehead at Mississippi State gave up his role as an FCs head coach for OC at Penn State because he knew that’s what he needed to be a P5 head coach. Likewise, Taylor gave up his role as AD for NDSU to be an assistant at Iowa to become a P5 AD. It seems like a logical stepping stone if that is Kleinman’s goal....

i dont think Klieman would leave to DC unless it was for a premier program. he's got job security at NDSU for life. he's got 3 years at KState and if he can't coordinate whats given to him then the pitchfork mob is calling for his head.I'll be honest with you..CK did take the reins from bohl 5 years ago but he's been here the whole tenure and hes made the best program better. All of his defenses has been #1 or close to it. His team right now is top 15 in the country with his recruits. I think theres a blueprint on ndsus success that would flourish at kstate. It all starts on the OL where he'll get those strong Kansas small town farm boys mad and gel together.Real talk. You guys obv have a system, but I don’t see why Bizon fans wouldn’t be worried about losing this dude if he is such a stud. So why not?I'm hearing some good things about the head football coach at NDSU. I may not chop my balls off if he were offered the job.Yep. Me and lakes will be posting here more often. Congrats goEMAW!
Also, who is better Klieman or Bohls?
He'll hopefully scrap the stupid ass spread and get a real man's offense. CK will have coached Wentz and now Stick...one was 2nd overall and Easton is going to rocket up the draft boards because hes been a pro style his entire career...now hes calling audibles like Carson.
As an ndsu fan, CK as a coach is too good for fcs. I haven't gone to a game all year because they've been blowouts.
I actually wouldn’t mind Klieman as a DC. I’d be pretty stoked. I mean, he could make more money at KSU as a DC.
Moorehead at Mississippi State gave up his role as an FCs head coach for OC at Penn State because he knew that’s what he needed to be a P5 head coach. Likewise, Taylor gave up his role as AD for NDSU to be an assistant at Iowa to become a P5 AD. It seems like a logical stepping stone if that is Kleinman’s goal.... Kleinman and Seiler on defense and Norvell as a head coach and then I a excited!
Yup.

To be clear, I believe he can coach....but he sure as hell can't recruit......with a roster devoid of talent, this is a big long term problem, which, if played out, will lead to a bottom feeder team looking for a miracle........againHe has clearly outrecruited his peers, as well as programs a level or two above him.

Those schools aren't his peers now. He has recruited well against his peers. Do you think it takes magic to go from recruiting 2 and 3 stars to recruiting 3 and 4 stars? Do you think a sales pitch to a kid from Minnesota is significant different than a salad pitch to a kid from Oklahoma.

You don't think he recruits kids who could play at FBS schools? Because he beats P5 schools on the field all the time. There isn't a hard line of kids who are only recruited by FCS schools, there's a pool that could go either way and he does exceptionally well in that space. He isn't at Bama for goodness sake.

Ok, I will give you that Pete was right. The thread title there is up in the air. Pete says this was a done deal, it wasn’t. I know the bug under the desk was a joke, however, if we knew the first 2 things, how the eff don’t we know anything else?

He does an incredible job evaluating, targeting, and landing recruits, and managing resources. He needs to know when to compete against schools like Iowa and Purdue (elite recruits for him) and when not to. That's a skill that translates to KSU.

Also, everything said about Klieman could apply to Norvell and Neal Brown, except they haven't been anywhere near as dominant. They aren't beating Texas or OU for recruits, either.
If you’re Coke and need to hire a new President, would you rather hire a VP from Pepsi or the President of a local soda company that is dominating in Fargo, ND?
Maybe CK is as good a coach as we can get, but is he as good at managing a P5 budget and P5 administrative issues? Like, does he even have any contacts he’d reach out to who could serve as coordinators or are we basically gonna end up with an FCS staff. That all counts for something.

Of course I'd rather have the CEO of Pepsi, but I'm not getting that CEO. We'd be choosing between the safe boring Shasta CEO who everyone at Coke always hires and the CEO of on-the-rise Jones soda. Give me Jones any day.
As for his coaches, it's been mentioned he's coached with Frost at northern Iowa (which was a good program) and I've seen him mention networking at coaching conventions or whatever. And I'd expect a few holdovers from the current staff which honestly wouldn't bother me much. Prince got James Franklin and Raheem Morris because they coached together at FCS schools, I have no idea exactly who CK would bring but I don't think he's a dummy.

So I looked at his coaches and I don't think any were holdovers from Bohl. They have coached largely in the upper Midwest but some have coached in Missouri and Tennessee and California. Two of them have coached at the P5 level. Now it would be a disaster of a staff for KSU IMO, but it seems pretty great for where he's at and shows he can make decent hires

In most years (hardcore reality), K-State wouldn't have a solid chance at guys like LittreLL or Brown or Norvell or Clark (just for JRake). Yet, there's a decent possibility K-State chooses Klieman - a guy who exactly zero Power 5 schools would legitimately consider as a head coach (for reasons articulated to the nth degree).

A year featuring an incredibly low overall turnover among power 5 coaches should significantly benefit any of the "middle of the pack" power 5 schools - there is a significant amount of seasonality/timing to this whole charade. Quite literally, as it's shaped up, K-State couldn't have asked for a better time to seek a new football coach with respect to other openings across the country.

Let’s not nitpick over the relevant part to his general point. We are a solid P5 program with almost no competition for coaching hires this year. Yet it seems we’re about to squander that opportunity to hire a FCS coach that no other P5 school would even give the time of day.
Hell, KU, one of the most pitiful P5 programs currently went out and got them selves a name, even if that name is a tired retread.

does anybody give a rats ass about a sagarin rating?The greatest thing to come out of this is the ND people throwing a fit because we don’t think their shitty coach is good and demanding that we want to steal him.We're just educating you but like 5 years ago when we said we were going to come and kick your asses... you arent listening.

We want to win games; be competitive against the elite teams and occasionally win a league trophy
i don't think a sagarin rating is in my top 100 desires from a fb program
if we didn't know from the outset who the next coach was going to be then remind me why we ran off Snyder?
also, i would also like to propose that our current set of assistants is probably superior to any set of assistants these candidates could bring.
so which is more important to the success of a program? A single coach= head coach or several coaches=the assistants
if we can't get a top HC then maybe we should try to make sure we have the best assistants we can get which just might be the ones we have

This whole thing would be different if Bohl had any kind of success outside of NDSU. Although I get j rake’s point that the team really took off after CK showed up.That's my biggest reason for hating on Klansman. His predecessor crap the bed, what real evidence is there to believe it will be different? Obviously , it could be, but the risk seems to high for me.
I think the biggest would be staff. Most of Bohl's staff at Wyoming had only coached at NDSU before Wyoming. CK's current staff looks better than Bohl's staff straight up IMO - they come from a variety of levels and have experience in more parts of the country.
I mean, the other thing is they are just different people and won't approach everything the exact same way. Gene obviously worked closely with both of them and we haven't heard Bohl mentioned at all (despite having that magic P5 experience). Why do you think that might be?

just because K-States answer is less than 3 to many of your questions doesn't make KState some "college football playoff" contender, dork.
you disrespect Sagarin and then rattle off some stupid ass questions that are slightly biased to what I can or cant answer for NDSU. Hilarious.
Look. we all know KState isn't going to the playoffs with any of these candidates. They likely werent even if Venables wouldve taken the job. It is what it is. the hardship in all of this is you guys knowing where you are in the grand scheme of college football.

A year featuring an incredibly low overall turnover among power 5 coaches should significantly benefit any of the "middle of the pack" power 5 schools - there is a significant amount of seasonality/timing to this whole charade. Quite literally, as it's shaped up, K-State couldn't have asked for a better time to seek a new football coach with respect to other openings across the country.
In most years (hardcore reality), K-State wouldn't have a solid chance at guys like LittreLL or Brown or Norvell or Clark (just for JRake). Yet, there's a decent possibility K-State chooses Klieman - a guy who exactly zero Power 5 schools would legitimately consider as a head coach (for reasons articulated to the nth degree).
Gene Taylor made an absolute dogsh!t/give-up/woe-is-us hire in his first attempt at K-State (our current baseball coach).
Why expect anything different for football?
Thinking the stars are aligned so we have a once in a generation chance to hire Neal "Ben Shapiro" Brown is as small-timey as it gets
Let’s not nitpick over the relevant part to his general point. We are a solid P5 program with almost no competition for coaching hires this year. Yet it seems we’re about to squander that opportunity to hire a FCS coach that no other P5 school would even give the time of day.
Hell, KU, one of the most pitiful P5 programs currently went out and got them selves a name, even if that name is a tired retread.

Acting like LittreLL, Norvell, Satterfield, and Brown is silly as hell. Most hires made out of that mold fail too. Our pool of candidates would look the exact same any year we'd attempt to make a hire. The chance of any of these decent group of 5 coaching having success at any average P5 program is exactly the same, and that includes Klieman.

We would ALL love an awesome hire. Every one of us. We'd happily eat every negative word said/typed/tweeted about Taylor.
We're just not very experienced at this coach-search thing, and some are a bit terrified.

Shopping for an OC for CK?
OMFG. It's been in front of us all along! ADGT = Catchacold!
It's Brent Musburger as HC, Snyder back as OC, and Bob Knight as DC. With some random cat as STC!

Another point on optics and whatever other bs people are crying about — it doesn’t even matter. Literally no one outside of KSU and maybe KU fans would even notice or care.
All that said, I do think Klieman should prob be a P5 DC or G5 HC before being a HC at a place like KState, and would love him as our DC, especially with an up and comer type as HC.
Maybe all a moot point w/ blackcats stoking my flame again

I'll clarify my stance, I don't care if it looks small time, I just think it would be small time. Also ok worth Gene hiring him as long as the president fires Gene if it doesn't work out.

The problem with football coaches is that they're all football coaches. This leads to rehashing and amplifying the same tired ideas. We've all been thinking inside the box. Consider, however, what great heights you could achieve by thinking outside of the box?
Damon T. Hininger.
No, he's not a football coach, but therein lies his strength. He's a businessman. But not just any businessman: He's the Chief Executive Officer of CoreCivic (f.k.a. Corrections Corporation of America).
CoreCivic (f.k.a. Corrections Corporation of America) is the second largest private prison company in the country--a country that is basically the SEC of incarcerating people. CoreCivic (f.k.a. Corrections Corporation of America) grosses over $1B in annual revenue, so he knows how to manage a large enterprise. And can you say MCMW, anyone?
Mr. Hininger can leverage his experience maintaining discipline and orderliness among his wards to instill the same qualities in his student-athletes. As a top exec, he understands the importance of surrounding himself with a capable and knowledgeable staff who can manage all the "football stuff." Oh, and did I mention he's part of the #Family? That's right. This proud son would not be a flight risk, as he would be happy to serve his Alma Mater for life.
What this program needs is a fresh perspective--a true outsider who can come in, clean shop, and bring a vision of program management that would instantly provide a competitive advantage against other, inside-the-box-thinking Big XII programs.
Are you bold enough to share this vision with him?

Keep sending those emails Clover
Look, you may not like it, and you might feel like using a board to semi-anonymously troll about it, but if you want your voice heard, you’ve got only a few options:
1. Donate money. Be a booster. Give. The more you give, the more you are heard.
2. Become a legitimate reporter or radio personality with a platform to benefit the program.
3. Email or call those in #1 or #2 and hope they carry your water.
...
10. Post on a BBS, fuss online, and scream into your pillow.
So at least someone in the #3 category is turning their purple energy into some sort of action. Belittling them for it is just douchey.

I do think initially it would be a hindrance, but it doesn’t take long to build relationships with high school coaches, and there would certainly be coaches on staff who already have those relationships.
I do think recruits may be impressed a coach played at OU or coached at LSU or whatever, but I doubt many recruits would be lol me “Oh, you only coaches at South Canada State? You must be crappy.”
They’d probably just listen to whatever message the coach tells them and he impressed with the good stuff ex. “We put all these players in the NFL, and Carson Wentz took us to our whatever national championship in a row.”

He might know something..#2 fact- CK was the 1st person interviewed by GT after he left the award show in NY. So clearly GT is battling with him self on what to do.

But today’s the team awards banquet (see Twitter ongoing). Dunno if ADGT is there, but if you’ve got an internal or person that’d already be at that event, that’s where I’d drop the news.

They will sell tickets and receive donations if the team is winning. Unless GT is a complete dumbass, his decision should be focused entirely on hiring the guy with the best chance of winning, regardless of what the fans and donors think. The only difference is that fans will give an unpopular candidate a much shorter timespan to start winning until they call for the AD’s head.
Yep.

Ok, so who are you Both voting for?
I'd rather have Norvell or Brown than Klieman, but I'm starting to question it. I'm easily swayed by compelling arguments. I'd make a terrible AD, as would like 95% of fans. Also don't know who these mystery coordinators are.

One thing I like about CK is he's slightly different. Lower level experience but unprecedented success. IMO he has the most potential upside because of thisA year featuring an incredibly low overall turnover among power 5 coaches should significantly benefit any of the "middle of the pack" power 5 schools - there is a significant amount of seasonality/timing to this whole charade. Quite literally, as it's shaped up, K-State couldn't have asked for a better time to seek a new football coach with respect to other openings across the country.
In most years (hardcore reality), K-State wouldn't have a solid chance at guys like LittreLL or Brown or Norvell or Clark (just for JRake). Yet, there's a decent possibility K-State chooses Klieman - a guy who exactly zero Power 5 schools would legitimately consider as a head coach (for reasons articulated to the nth degree).
Gene Taylor made an absolute dogsh!t/give-up/woe-is-us hire in his first attempt at K-State (our current baseball coach).
Why expect anything different for football?
Thinking the stars are aligned so we have a once in a generation chance to hire Neal "Ben Shapiro" Brown is as small-timey as it gets
Let’s not nitpick over the relevant part to his general point. We are a solid P5 program with almost no competition for coaching hires this year. Yet it seems we’re about to squander that opportunity to hire a FCS coach that no other P5 school would even give the time of day.
Hell, KU, one of the most pitiful P5 programs currently went out and got them selves a name, even if that name is a tired retread.

Nitpick over the relevant part? He blew the entire post and premise up. There is no such thing as a homerun hire for most college football programs. Acting like LittreLL, Norvell, Satterfield, and Brown is silly as hell. Most hires made out of that mold fail too. Our pool of candidates would look the exact same any year we'd attempt to make a hire. The chance of any of these decent group of 5 coaching having success at any average P5 program is exactly the same, and that includes Klieman.
Agreed. Also comparing him to other FCS coaches is dumb.

More idle speculation: We’ve heard, credibly, that the team was told they’d have a name within two weeks. We’ve also been told on several fronts that we’re getting close to being finished with the search.
If it was Klieman, it seems odd that we’d hear that announcement in the middle of FCS playoffs.
But today’s the team awards banquet (see Twitter ongoing). Dunno if ADGT is there, but if you’ve got an internal or person that’d already be at that event, that’s where I’d drop the news.

GT is playing this extremely close to the vest, even the largest donors dont know what is going to happen (as of yesterday). I dont have an update today. Besides it was not announced tonight. All i can tell you is that some top 10 donors at the time/maybe still not sold on CK NDSHC. I think you all under estimate how much they take your "professional opinion" into account. They sincerely care about the fan base. They damn sure care about ticket sales and donations. Im not a 6 figure guy yet with them, but getting there. I am very close with a 7 figure guy, and he absolutely cares what the fans think. So if you all want to be smart asses. Then do so. If you want to try and make a difference then let me know too.. But i have to say, as a successful businessman, i am mostly disappointed in the fans on this board. I know many more KSU fans that have taken to this message of letting the admin know in a professional manner, thoughts for our program. I do not mean this message for the majority of posters, but the few that i think havent represented KSU in proper fashion. With a business background of some sort, you will understand this message.

I made a special trip to Ogden on Friday to save 32 cents a gallon on gas. Gas at Casey’s is $2.13 a gallon, while in Manhattan it just dropped to $2.45 at most stations.
Gas in just about every city and town across Kansas is below $2.15 a gallon and in some places it is below $2 a gallon. Even with using about a half a gallon to drive the 16 miles I saved about $3.
I encourage everyone in Manhattan to follow my example: Boycott Manhattan gas stations until they stop ripping us off. Fire Chris Klieman now!

Sincerely,
Not sure i would consider that professional. But it is funny... I think a little more logic would prevail. Bottom line CK is the worst move we could make. I appreciate your spirit!

Looking back on the campaign of 2018, I will always remember the encouragement and support I received throughout this great state. The people of Kansas are special in so many ways. Traveling for two years to every corner of Kansas, I was rewarded with the opportunity to see dozens and dozens of small and large businesses that are the backbone of our state and the communities where they provide good-paying jobs. Whether it is agriculture, banking, aerospace or the service sector, the path to a better life is out there, and with a little help Kansas will grow and prosper.
The election has passed, but there is still much to accomplish. Decisions on burdensome taxes, the quality of our education system, our transportation infrastructure, government intervention in our health care, and reigning in the out-of-control regulations, all while balancing the state budget. The bar for success is high, but hard-working Kansans will have it no other way. Together, we can get it done. From Goodland to Overland Park, from Liberal to Fort Scott, each of our dreams may be different, but at the end of the day they all must be served. We can ill afford to leave any one sector behind, any one part of our state, be it rural or suburban, we are all in the fight to win. This is our Kansas.
I worked hard to be selected to serve the people of Kansas, but as it turns out, that was not to be. The people of Kansas have, however, given me so much more than I could have ever imagined. I now understand their love for the place we all call home. The place we raise our families and live the life our forefathers only dreamed.
I realize that leadership is learned over time and is not given to one at any given moment. We all must pull on the “political” rope from the same end, for that is the successful style of leadership that will win for all Kansans.
I will never forget the many days of travel and handshakes along the way. So many coffee shops and service station snacks — too many to recall them all. My heart goes out to all of those who encouraged me to take part in the political process. I will never forget the state-wide support, and belief that I could get the job done from friends and strangers alike. We will meet again. I will travel the same roads soon. Rest assured, I will not sit idly by while our state is taken down the wrong path. There is a new day coming — a better direction. This state and this country deserve a strong, conservative leader. Until we meet again keep the faith and stay strong. Together we will win.
Best Regards,

I don’t know that I’ve ever clicked through the KSO site.
But there is real money that continues to be opposed to BV. It’s not just a one-way street; it’s probably also part of why he’d not return, even if he wasn’t sitting pretty as DC for Dabo.
That’s just a guess.

Agree. No real fans, with any info, our wishes for our program. They are "for the most part" not all by any means "complainers with not an idea or solution". Several good people, but a few ruin it all. Negative.. Not KSU.

When our new coach gets hired you wont ever hear from me again. I cant stand a group of people that have a problem and dont at least attempt to send an email with their professional feelings about our university and what they think we need. So once we have a new coach, you can sit back behind the computer. I will continue my work to grow our university, but it wont be on this platform. I can verify the admin received over 1000 emails this weekend voicing opinions. Some of you, i hope are not one of the 1000. I hope some of your negativity didn't get in those emails.

Anyone who self proclaims how much they donate adding that they hope to soon be 6 figure contributors is the real kinda douche I don’t want repping us. Also, it clearly shows you’re out of touch with real fans if you think that that means you have more value than the next. THIS is NOT the KSU way, eh?

If Gene is a real boss -- and I hope he is -- he shouldn't give a eff about any dumbass email campaign, but make whatever move he thinks will equate to the most wins and best program going forward. He shouldn't give a crap about how short of a leash fans give him or his new hire either. The only people he should have to sway are the big donors (also just as dumb as the majority of general fans when it comes to what it takes to run an AD or football program) in order to convince them to open up their wallets.
Its not an email campaign... Its the overall fan temperature. Which i will tell you is very COLD on CK. FACT... .. Board approved his contract... Contract not offered...Because of the fans = Fan backlash

I already told you that I'd prefer one of the G5 guys or a P5 coordinator to Klieman -- who I would love as a DC. But you know what -- I don't know crap about running an AD or football program. Neither do you. Neither do KSU's big donors. It's more important that Gene and K-State Athletics do what they believe is best for the program rather than bend over to the will of the fanbase. That's why they get paid tons of money.

Agreed. This is his job. He will succeed or fail with his football hire. If it's nothing more than a people's choice award to him, then he is very short-sighted and not very good at his job.

i refuse to believe that Taylor just figured out that Kleiman might not be a popular hire.
he has had a year to get ready for this and consider all angles
there should be little or nothing left to consider unless he was ill prepared
ANYONE would have considered a candidates popularity before interviewing. he doesn't need a bunch of bozos to tell him a FCS coach would not be exciting. he already knows that

I haven't been over to KSO, so it's very interesting to me to see how different parts of the fan base are reacting to this search. The only other outlet I follow is the KSU family facebook group and that is....interesting...
To @nicname I do agree there is a difference, but I would also note that the pay frank movement, to me, started the progenitor board, and had a bit of an uphill fight at first, taking some time to grow into mainstream KSU fandom thought. Of course a coaching search like this is a wild beast to get a handle on because of the multitude of camps. I just thought it was interesting that many here seemed to be downplaying a movement starting from another part of the fan base. To me it seems easier/faster since social media, message boarding, etc are much more ubiquitous now then when this camp (rightly) led the pay frank movement.

It's like when you get involved in one of those gift exchanges where people steal gifts and one person brings lottery tickets. Everyone knows that the lottery tickets are going to be worth maybe $1 or $2 at best, but they still get stolen on the remote possibility that they are winners because the other gifts are all crappy enough that it doesn't really matter if you go home empty handed.
pretty much 96% of coaching searches

I have it from the highest sources (the perhaps soon to be banned Blackcats) that Klieman is not a serious candidate. BUT IN ANYCASE, he was a coach at KU which is close enough.Is KSU addicted to hiring former coaches? Is that all it takes to be considered for a HC position of our supposed P5 team?

I think the key will be to email all KSU fans and asking them to forward our emails to the AD. That’s basically two emails for the price of one and I think Gene would really appreciate that.

It won't happen, but would be cool if Brown was HC and Klieman was DC since the wife of Brown's current DC (Vic Koenning) supposedly won't live outside of the south. Klieman could still probably double his salary in this scenario.
I've had this same thought... This would be an amazing pull if it were even remotely possible, but I agree that it's HIGHLY unlikely.

I sort of agree with 1) but that goes away quickly
2) Klieman isn't Bohl, he made the program better with an entirely new staff. I'd argue it's at least as good as Bohl's straight up. Bohl also took a shittier job than KSU.
3) who the hell wanted Frank Martin? AD's at KSU's are scared shitless to try anything that isn't a SLTH and they generally all have their same mediocre boring results.
Also I have legitimately talked myself into thinking CK is the best non-BV hire. FCS straight to P5 coaches are rare, but like half of them in the 2000's were incredible (Harbaugh and Tressel), and the failures (London at UVA and Wulff at WSU) had far worse records than CK. I don't know if I'm missing others?

VK has lived here before. Unless he hated it or his wife's requirement is new, I don't see why location is an issue. Maybe he didn't like it here though. I think he was just before Cosh so I assume he wanted out more than Snyder wanted Cosh running anything.

Ian Boyd sure loves him some Klieman as a great fit for KSU. :dunno:you could probably talk me into klieman if he kept the handful of good assistants from ksu the best ones from his staff and then announced a couple of shockingly awesome hires as additional assistants with the money we saved from hiring him.
klieman could lead and we would have a great group of assistants to go recruit.
but all that kind of depends on finding and hiring those wildcard assistants who would help turn recruiting upside down

I hate the idea of hiring him because it feels lazy, safe, unimaginative, just gettin the ole drink'n buddies back together again, etc. I wanted to get excited again, but hiring this guy will leave those hopes unfulfilled. The only reservation I have is that I am horrible at picking coaches. I thought RichRod would do great at Michigan. I thought Mangino was a terrible hire for KU. I was concerned when KU hired Gill. I thought A&M stealing Franchione away from Alabama was amazing and they would be tough to compete against. This fact that I obviously can't evaluate a coach gives me pause.
Also going from young and somewhat exciting SL to old and absolutely non exciting CK is a KITN. I mean....put these guys side by side, think you're getting SL and then shove CK out there.....I mean...come on. Further, the more I think about it...all the leftover candidates we are supposedly looking at feel the same. Gene whiffed on choice one and choice two. In the end it's all just leftovers.
I'll go on record that in three years CK won't have 15 wins to his name. That is probably what depresses me the most. We are going to waste 3 years with this guy. :frown: :frown:
Post by: Bqqkie Pimp on December 10, 2018, 05:52:57 PM
NDSU fans’ wet dream would be for CK to be the next KSU HC, but they will be pissed if he becomes the DC.
As stated before, this would be gloriously hilarious... Those podunk rubes clearly don't get that us P5 schools could easily pay 2-3x for a DC as what their HC is currently making.

Ian Boyd sure loves him some Klieman as a great fit for KSU. :dunno:you could probably talk me into klieman if he kept the handful of good assistants from ksu the best ones from his staff and then announced a couple of shockingly awesome hires as additional assistants with the money we saved from hiring him.
klieman could lead and we would have a great group of assistants to go recruit.
but all that kind of depends on finding and hiring those wildcard assistants who would help turn recruiting upside down
Awesome assistants will cost more than we should be paying eff head. If he gets a contract for more than the 750k or whatever Beaty got the first year we are major dopes.
Post by: OB_Won on December 10, 2018, 05:57:50 PM
Why do we want to keep our assistants? They've shown marked drop-off in on the field performance, and recruiting classes well below what they should be. If I was to keep any assistant it would probably be Sean, but I wouldn't because its time to move forward.Ian Boyd sure loves him some Klieman as a great fit for KSU. :dunno:you could probably talk me into klieman if he kept the handful of good assistants from ksu the best ones from his staff and then announced a couple of shockingly awesome hires as additional assistants with the money we saved from hiring him.

if kleiman didn't have a plan for a MAJOR improvement in recruiting then he should not have been hired
and if his plan was to retain the same coaches that ksu has and ndsu has that don't recruit well enough for us to compete then he should not have been hired.
no coach should be hired that doesn't have a recruiting plan to significantly improve the athletes at ksu
we really don't need x and os
we need jimmy and joes
if taylor didn't use that as his primary reason for hiring then he should be fired as soon as we can

It's been fun to watch him coach against NDSU the last few years haha.
But yeah, there is a bromance between the two of them. When they played here this year, I think Pelini spent the week before and the postgame gushing about CK and how much he respects him. It wasn't quite that gushy from CK, but he definitely sang Pelini's praises.
I'll put it this way, Pelini made his kid come check out NDSU before he made his college decision and he coaches for a conference rival...

I mean you have to pay him this much. It would be unseemly to pay a coach so far less than his peers and likey make it even harder to get quality assistants.
I'd be willing to bet he asked for a guarantee to pay his assistants top dollar. That's been the formula for success at NDSU, no reason for him or ADGT to change it because these message boards are packed with small timey people.
This will no doubt be an upgrade in recruiting. Idk the last time one of you guys actually talked to an 18 year old, but the eff if they want to listen to a 79 year old. He could have died tomorrow because he ate the wrong cereal, at least they know their coach will be alive at the next practice.

Well yea i agree, but c'mon comparing an fcs playoff run to the CFP? If this is such a dream job for him, he should drop whatever he's doing and try and salvage whatever he can for the early signing period.

Detachment is an expression of love. Far from being a selfish act or an act of giving up, detachment can be a powerful expression of love. When we detach with love, we are expressing our belief in General Myers. We're saying: “I believe you have the inner strength and intelligence to handle this yourself.”

How is he going to get any recruiting done if he is coaching NDSU through the rest of their season.... this will be the worst class we have had in a while. And that is saying a lot.Bohl was just a warm body on the sideline. Im guessing outside of practices and the games...ck will be all business with ksu stuff

Who knows if he will be successful, but his current team is better than ours even with recruiting limitations.
Give him a chance, he has a bare cupboard to start but it is a fresh start for KSU.

i'm in wait and see mode here. staff choices and early recruiting wins/losses should be fairly telling.There will be no recruiting losses. By the time he starts recruiting, there will be no competition for the scraps he will have to go after.

I worked for the university of South Carolina at the time, when they fired Bowden mid-season Dabo was interim head coach for the 2008 season and then promoted after the season. Dabo fired Vic, due to personal differences I believe, and my Gamecock friends thought the days of dominating Clemson had started.

I’m not going to have any reaction until I get a full breakdown from @jrake
if the leading candidates for the job were LittreLL, norvell, klieman, brown, wolford, leavitt, etc., then i will forever believe that gene made the best hire possible by selecting klieman. that doesn't mean i think klieman will succeed. i think it is more unlikely than likely that he will succeed. but keep in mind, i'm defining success by the set of standards that this bipolar, sociopathic fan base has set for the program - which in my view is to win 8 or 9 games every year, never go 6-6 or god forbid sub-.500, seriously compete for the league title every year, and make a CFB playoff run every five years. which simply isn't going to happen.
if i thought the k-state fan base would continue hating klieman into the start of the season, demanding his firing after every narrow victory against an FCS or CUSA school, then i would for sure root for the football team like i never have before (i've never rooted for a k-state sports team). but ya'll will come around. klieman will say "impressive!" things at the press conference, he'll sign a recruit that nobody thought k-state could get, he'll hire a coordinator with a brilliant track record at a directional michigan school, d scott will write a fluffy feature about the star of the spring game ("will this be the next keithen valentine!?!") and it will be Team Klieman all the way.
until he loses the big 12 opener.
to iowa state.
then you'll want him fired immediately, and you'll want him replaced with the hot new south alabama coach (!) who won eight games against a schedule that included georgia state, texas state, arkansas pine bluff, savannah state and wagner. "i think he could be really good guys!"
it's exhausting.

In many ways the fans made 100% of it. However, I’m still a bit unsure why it took as long as it did. If we moved as fast as TTU, the panic would have been much less pronounced.
not sure what the confusion is. They obviously courted LittreLL for a long time hoping he'd give in to their demands then he told then to eff off.

I am anywhere from 6-9 wins a year as long as we look good doing it. Sub .500 where we are young or have a bunch of injuries I am OK with, but would argue that 6 wins should be possible. Sub .500 where our team doesn't appear to have direction and is at an overall talent disadvantage I would have a problem with (AKA this year). Playoffs? Lets get real we would piss down our leg in the championship game on the very last play of the game to miss the CFP. That is just the KSU way and as a long time fan am ready for that KITN.

I am more than willing to see what this guy can do here, but make no mistake about it.......this coaching search has been a complete cluster eff and Gene is a huge dork.......only Klieman can save him now.
Lock this failure of a thread.
:dubious:
What part of the search was a cluster? The fans' conjecture and straw grasping?

I’d be fine with the TCU model, like two down seasons squeaking into a bowl game followed by two up seasons knocking on the door to the playoff.
yeah. Okie State has kinda been like this too.
this model only works when you have a coach who doesn't live year-to-year on the hot seat.

yep. And Gundy's actually been way more successful than I'd pictured. He's won 10 games 3 straight seasons and 6 of 8 before this one.

We paid a search firm for assistance in finding a head coach only to hire the AD's buddy.

Was gonna say that. Gundy wins a lot.

apparently so. there is just too much going on here to not believe that others didn't walk away from us. the whole thing is unbelievable. I hope he succeeds.I am more than willing to see what this guy can do here, but make no mistake about it.......this coaching search has been a complete cluster eff and Gene is a huge dork.......only Klieman can save him now.

without some new recruiters i don't see how he can.
the ksu recruiters are not very good. his recruiters are not very good. the only thing that makes this work is if he makes a couple NEW hires that catapults recruiting. and i don't see that happening

One of the reasons I got excited about LittreLL is because it seemed like he could be a Mike Gundy type. Successful P5 OC turned HC. Young, good recruiter. It seemed like he had a chance to be Gundy-esque.
Was he a "successful" OC? But yes he seemed like he could be a good recruiter.

_fan said he has top 30 offenses at three different power 5 schools, but I’m not sure if he was lying to sell his shirts or not.

chris klieman is the first ever coach to go from FCS to FBS and take over a lesser team.
gotta feel for the guy. this program totally sucks.
we truly are not worthy
