Jack Swarbrick- Notre Dame '76

There's one!

Mike Holder- Oklahoma State

Did he attend OSU or just coach golf, either way, he can count. So we have 3, Swarbrick, Luck, and Holder. Swarbrick is still only 62, he's been there forever.

mir and clams insinuating that there are not a ton of talented people in the K-State athletic department tree is annoying.

I mean, how much evidence do we need that K-State produces stud ADs?

What evidence do we have?

yes. 100% completely agree with this.

If you have to go outside that list of four, you're not doing it right.

I literally can't think of one great athletic director who is at his/her alma mater or one good athletic department run by an alum.

Lol, at the "fire currie now" people.  MIR, chingon and I are "fire currie 5 years ago" people.

Currie shold be fired no matter how Weber does next year.

I'm also in this camp, but better late than never.

Nope, this camp is for those who've been consistently saying for almost a half-decade or more that currie should be out on his ass.  And chingon and mir are two of our head counselors.

Good find and I know what you're doing here. Yes, I forgot how rough ridin' furious I was about the Jamar/Frank thing, time softened me, thanks for the reminder, I needed it.
BUT
I remember all the years and years K-State and K-State athletics were run like the family farm and I'm scared as hell we're going to go back to that if we hire another AD right now, with this U.P. I remember our shitty football program, our cornpone simple lack of media savvy, our lack of give a crap about basketball. Guys in the 90s-early 2010s we had the most non descript athletic department in America despite a baller ass football program. I don't want that again.

Can we just get a strong leader, with high expectations for our programs and the identity of the department, but who isn't a social awkward weirdo?

THIS IS ALL I WANT GUYS. I'd do it but I don't think I can get central and NW Kansas farmers to give me money.

Compare Underwood's resume after Frank left to Henson's now.

Henson very well may be basketball Bob Stoops, I'm confused why some are convinced he's a bad coach.

For me it's because

1) Zero proven head coaching success
2) Does not have a reputation as an exceptional recruiter as far as I can tell (which I think should be the #1 factor for someone without head coaching success)

That's fair. NBA tho

Has anyone tried to hire Randy Bennett away from St Mary's?

He himself, not just his program, has been sanctioned by the NCAA. He was suspended for five games, and barred from recruiting off of campus for a year. SMC got four years probation which is pretty long these days.

Experts, may I have a review of the Disney Coronado Springs Resort? I just found out I have a conference there next February and I'm pissed. Why in the holy hell would a national organization put their national conference at a damn Disney resort? It's not like we can enjoy the park at all. Now we all get to spend $200 a night for rooms just to sit in conference rooms 8 hours a day

don't you have kids?  Anytime you can do the work/family double dip at a place like Disney should be celebrated. 

Even if you can't bail on at least a few sessions the night time is the best time at Disney if the kids are school aged imo and they have discount tickets for conference attendees too.

It isn't a 9-5 type conference, more like 8 am-10pm. Also when I go to conferences, I get loose at night, I'm with my family the other 352 days a year. Also my wife is a teacher, so taking her and my kids out of school for a week is a non starter.

SD, I saw that about Coronado. I don't remember which two they are but the two closest resorts to Coronado are also being gutted.

North Texas was a bad bad bad job. I think making the NIT four out of five years in that era of Valley basketball is very good. Remember, he wasn't fired from there, he left to be the HCIW at SMU. They are going to win the AAC this year, they are 15-1 in conference and he's 34-4 at SMU.

Most will have ushers blocking the entries into the seating bowl from the concourse. They don't want people walking down the aisle, distracting people when a galvanized puck traveling in excess of 100mph could fly into the stands.

That is a lot of head coaching experience to not have any significant success.

The only time he's run a D1 before this season was at North Texas and Illinois State

Still honestly not getting it. Weren't they both released?

yes. which is the point wetwillie was trying to make - there are no guarantees that current players will stay when a new coach is hired.

Got it, if that's what he meant it sailed 3 miles over my head.

I'm assuming you fire Currie now people are good with a Jank/Fox/Henson hire. Myers is much more apt to hire one of these guys than Currie is. Currie doesn't give a damn about those dudes, I'm sure there are some Kansas white guy ties to Myers and the families of all three of those guys.
