Coaching Search Master Thread (now featuring worst possible choice oscar weber)

[Dr Rick Daris]

You want to pay that ugly of a person 2 million dollars a year +  that has not been to a FF?  or multiple EE's?

first and foremost let's get one thing straight, neither i or you are paying anybody crap. i couldn't give a eff if the next head coach makes minimum wage or is paid five million dollars. i just want someone really, really good that will win a lot of basketball games and that is my sole focus. why the eff do you care how much he makes. like jesus. "well i like stallings for 1.5 but not for 2.0...." seriously explain that to me because you aren't the first person to say something like this.

It's like all tucks read this board and then publicly push the opposite agenda of whatevs ours is.  I mean, it really seems like tuckville and it's residence waited to see who our Will Not Take list is, and have already accepted that the coaches on that list are the right fit guys.

Is our fanbase divided so strongly that they will risk KSU's future to spite us?  Seems so.

Time to start some reverse psychology?

randy bennett. would take over most of these clowns. People say he hasn't gotten a better job because he's kind of a butthole. He would probably be at the very top of the burn the mother down with everyone in it list. I found that article before I hit "post"

Bob Lutz of The Wichita Eagle provided a list on Wednesday of possible candidates to replace Frank Martin at Kansas State.

According to Lutz, the No. 1 option is Colorado coach Tad Boyle, a name that seems to come up in every job opening across the west and midwest. Boyle appears to be pretty happy in Boulder, however, and many may look at this as a lateral move.

Others on the list include the likes of Illinois State coach Tim Jankovich -- someone ESPN's Andy Katz mentioned earlier this week -- along with Kentucky assistant Orlando Antigua, Oklahoma assistant Steven Henson and Georgia coach Mark Fox, who has ties to the school.

As for long shots? Lutz mentions Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett, Harvard coach Tommy Amaker, Michigan State assistant Dwayne Stephens and New Mexico coach Steve Alford.

on top of being ugly, he's old.  plus he would laugh at the offer.  I don't want him and he doesn't want us. 

I've moved him down my list. Not worth $2Mil per.

god damnit _fan. what does this mean? you either want him or you don't. i swear to god you people need to stop talking about what someone is worth. you guys did this crap with frank when he was still a coach here and it was wrong then too. "well he's already making 1.55, i mean maybe bump him up to 1.8 but not 2.0. i mean i don't think he's worth that much." it was stupid then and it's just as stupid now. stop.

so bennett has pretty much dominated everyone but gonzaga. tied for first last year and won the conference outright this year.

Don't see South Florida's coach anywhere? or is he hurricane?

I suppose my point is if K-State is going to pay $2Mil for a coach, we can get better than Stallings for that type of money. I never said I moved him off my list.

I think we should offer Izzo or Calipari or somebody like that $6 million per year or so. I mean seriously what is the difference between $2 million and $6 million? Not that much.

I don't think we can get someone clearly better than Stallings for $2 mil. I'm doubtful we could even get Stallings for $2mill.

[Dr Rick Daris]

i mean, we are fans of a school. fans. and that school just made 23 million dollars last year. yet some of you fuckers are running around like you are the general manager of a baseball team trying to decide whether or not to sign a free agent 32 yr old utility player or just promote the guy from AAA. rough ridin' stop it. mens basketball and football are the only sports that matter and our school just made 23 million dollars last year. we pretty much sell out both sports. we should expect to pay whatever it takes to hire someone that will win games. that's should be the expectation from us. we want to win games. not make 23.2 million instead of 22.5 million.

Its probably highly illogical, but Asbury actually makes me a bit apprehensive about a guy like Bennett. Can he translate success at a tiny private west coast school to Kansas State?

That said, he's definitely worth looking at.

This is the best idea so far, remember it only costs 10% more to go first class, or in this case 50%

$2 mill is this probably the minimum starting point to get a proven commodity, anything less will be a mid major, assistant or Haith type. 

I agree Stallings hasn't stayed at Vandy for 10+ to then leave for a mid tier job like KSU unless there is other factors like AD issues, personal problems, etc.

I don't disagree with any of that.

But you are right, we are fans on a message board. And we are going to say all kinds of ridiculous stuff.

I also agree that $2 Mil will be the minimum to get a proven coach, and I'm not sure if even that will bring them to K-State. I would hope it would, but I don't know.

I only care about recruiting

I don't think you need to tell us that.
