Before you all attack me, our off the ball defense has gotten significantly worse since he left. And he seems to really care about guard development

I mean he has success and had enough draw with recruiting to get guys to follow him after he left. I don’t know anymore and my mind is a blur. I had a dream last night I was AD having to deal with all of our angry fans and I think i have PTSD

However, on March 21—shortly after losing to Canisius in the 2nd round of the 2015 CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, a drunken Jans was seen engaging in lewd and inappropriate behavior toward women at a bar near campus. A Bowling Green alumnus recorded Jans on his cell phone, and was so outraged by what he saw that he reported the incident to school officials.[2] Following an internal investigation, Bowling Green fired Jans for violating a morals clause in his contract.

Someone who knows (because I have no clue) needs to compile a dossier of renegade hc types stat. Guys with show cause, whatever. Gimme goddamn Jerry Tarkanian.

canco that nobody gaf about UofH sports at all, which i think maybe allows him to fly under the radar? like nobody is really paying that close of attention beyond "oh the coogs are ranked in the top 10? huh that's neat" On the one hand its like nobody cares and nobody comes to games, on the other hand if nobody cares you can probably get away with stuff a lot more easily. i dunno.

Houston is paying him 3MM a year which is good for around top 25 and oscar I think is making 2.7 or 2.8 so it’s not a huge difference but I’m sure we would have to pay him 4 or more to inherit our mess and he’s also 65.

Post by: Pete on December 09, 2020, 10:54:54 AM
I agree with most of what's in this thread already, but I think it's important to note that oscar's replacement will not be oscar, so therefore it will be an improvement.  I say that not because I predict more wins and fewer losses, but because of the hatred that I have for oscar and the absence of that hatred for whomever his replacement will be.  I should also note that I don't plan to watch any games (I haven't in years) unless we get good.  So, it's entirely possible I never watch a game let by our next coach, unless KK takes me to the game and lets me sit in the second row at half court again (only game i have been to in 5 years).  I suppose I am most concerned about getting rid of oscar, and who our coach is 2 coaches from now.

yeah, this is my thing too. I don't even really know what it is about him other than him sucking (that might be it). I will say that I was never really a BB fan anyway, but he has really just sucked whatever I had out of me. Feel bad for my kid though. He loves it and I never even think to turn on the games.

It was some extra phone calls, that's it, that's the story.

FWIW, Huggins never had NCAA issues either.

Kelvin is the best suggestion, by far, but other than being a successful head basketball coach, there are no further parallels between the two of them.

100% fact is that the replacement will be a friend or actual relative of Gene so look at who his friends are, pick the bets one.

In the tradition of Snyder and Wefald, he will absolutely make himself and his friends wealthy off of KSU because he's old as crap and this is his last stop.  He is going to Les Miles our faces off.

self is an interesting name to have surfaced. Ultimately i'm not sure he would be worth the risk because i think the long term damage he could cause to the image of our program might outweigh the immediate on-court success.

I would do horrible things if it meant we could have Kelvin Sampson as our basketball coach. Anybody hedging about him is rough ridin' stupid. We would be lucky to have him, but our AD doesn't have the balls to go out and get a guy like him. Prove me wrong, Gene! You rough ridin' hill person!

The thing is, you can't get rid of oscar and then take a gamble on some unknown commodity who very well might (and probably will) be less successful. You'd need a slam dunk. Not a lot of options there.

This is why Illini fans were so sad for us. It's so hard to fire oscar Weber. And having him as your coach just isn't very much fun.

I agree with most of what's in this thread already, but I think it's important to note that oscar's replacement will not be oscar, so therefore it will be an improvement.  I say that not because I predict more wins and fewer losses, but because of the hatred that I have for oscar and the absence of that hatred for whomever his replacement will be.  I should also note that I don't plan to watch any games (I haven't in years) unless we get good.  So, it's entirely possible I never watch a game let by our next coach, unless KK takes me to the game and lets me sit in the second row at half court again (only game i have been to in 5 years).  I suppose I am most concerned about getting rid of oscar, and who our coach is 2 coaches from now.

This is an excellent post. Firing oscar is life. The rest is just details.

We should fire oscar at the end of the season, footage of him leaving in disgrace runs on the news all that night and into the next day. AD announces desire for a quick coaching search, hires a head hunter that always gets his man. Less than two weeks later, there's rumors that kstate got their guy. At the press conference to announce new coach, everyone's on the edge of their seat, who is it going to be? To the tune of gasps and women fainting in the aisles, mother rough ridin' oscar Weber strides onto the stage, grabs the mic, winks at Kellis and coyly says to the room, "Did you miss me?" It's pandemonium. Has anybody ever fired a coach and then rehired them in the same off-season? Kstate is hailed as an innovator. oscar is received as a hero. Gene immediately begins talks with international artists to see who can truly capture the essence of oscar when creating a statue. It's good to be a cat.

I'd be okay with McDermott but I don't buy the rumor because I don't think we can afford him. I have serious questions about his reported salary being his actual salary. As you know Creighton sits does not have to disclose his salary. I refuse to believe a program that has had that much success with that much revenue would only pay their coach $1.1 million, he would be the lowest paid coach in a high major program, by far.

He also made a big deal about turning down the Ohio State job two years ago, if he actually did so.

If he does leave Creighton it will probably be because of the sanctions. I'm certain it's because of legal reasons why they espn didn't put it in but Creighton and that assistant are rumored to have been involved in direct payments to players.

Morgan had one good year at Long Beach State and probably didn't deserve the Iowa State head coaching job.

I will be shocked if they fire Prohm, dude has an $8 million buyout, that's insane. That and Mr. Potato Head Man has a tendency to hold on to coaches one year too late as opposed to firing them one year too early, well that's everyone but Wayne Morgan.

Speaking of Wayne Morgan, I rough ridin' hate college athletic directors. This is shameful

I dunno, man.  I've been hearing that he's pretty much gone.  Huge buyout or not.  He's making an insane amount of money for the results he's not managed to get.

I my money is on TJ O (Runnin’ Rebels HC) coming back for that opening. Unless of course he does what Iowa State does best, win the tourna... nevermind.

Going to “scout” little DeVries Thursday night. I’ll find Darrien and ask if Gene has called yet.

A whole lot of schools somehow managed to find a lot of buyouts today. It's almost as if finding the money for buyouts isn't a big deal for high major programs, pandemic or not. I'm also sure not a single academic donor at Indiana, Minnesota, and Iowa State had any problem at all with athletic departments spending athletic department money to remove an employee deemed ineffective.

This article lays out how the buyouts are being paid, but this sentence by the AD is in there.
Quote
During his press conference, Dolson indicated that two boosters are involved; one handling the $10 million buyout, the other the cost of replacing Miller. He would not name the boosters. Dolson also said. "I was not approached by donors. It was not an anti-Archie effort."

Like what? Is he saying that he made the decision to fire Archie, then asked donors for money? If the decision to fire Archie was already made, why would you, as a donor, spend $10 million?

I was being sarcastic. I have been forever perturbed when athletic directors float that they can't fire basketball or football coaches because of their buyouts. This college basketball and college football off season should forever bust that narrative but people are largely stupid and lazy so we'll have to keep hearing it. I don't think it was Gene and his crew that floated this, I think it was pro oscar message board fans, but it was out there that they couldn't fire oscar because academic donors would be mad, which whether that was accurate or not, was the dumbest thing I've heard this basketball season.

TBF, the buyout money wasn't about who they brought in but who they ran off, Prohm clearly wasn't the answer. Iowa sports fans, more than any other college sports fans I've ever seen, want someone they consider one of them and they think that of Otzelberger and they are over-the-moon happy with the hire. He's far more popular with them than whomever we eventually replace oscar with will be with us.

A lot of it is basketball in general. The wife's extended family is right in the middle of this: Half are IU alums, several live in Bloomington (nice place actually, not at all like Lawrence as you might expect it to be).  Parents live a stones throw from French Lick (although Larry went to ISU). Their hometown was one of those that could wrap themselves in the glow of Hoosiers - they made it to Indy a couple times as what would be a 1A school in Kansas and did win it all after Indiana went to a classification system.  Their HS league is the "Blue Chip League" for crying out loud.

The other half are Purdue alums - except the wife, she went to ISU.

You don't see a lot of driveway hoops setups anymore around Kansas; they are still everywhere out there.

This is their worst stretch in 20 years when they had to run a like 80 year old Denny Crum out of the job. They're a blue blood that doesn't want to become just any other program. He'd probably become a SLTH here but we have one of those now, I'd rather see us do something different.

Either you became familiar with Louisville in 2012 or you have a very short list of blue bloods. They have 40 conference championships, 43 tournament appearances, 10 final fours, and 3 National Championships. Almost all of that has been since 1980. There aren't 5 more accomplished programs in our lifetime.
