not sure what stan is other than garbage. why don't you want us to hire larry brown, beems? It better not be because you want him to replace Manning, because that would not be very nice.

Never said I didn't want you to hire Brown.  Just laughed at whoever said they'd rather have Hurricane than Larry effing Brown.

Larry Brown doesn't have any recruiting contacts that I'm aware of. I just think that from a recruiting standpoint he would be a disaster, and we would have to get really lucky and have his retirement coincide with somebody good becoming available to make him a better hire than Hurricane.

Cole Manbeck ? @Cole_Manbeck

Side note. Gottlieb considers Brad Underwood a friend. If Brad got head job & asked Doug if interested in assistant job, he'd consider it

oh my, would definitely take.

just horsing around with drizzy. YOLO.
 


This is totally what I needed to get over the whole "your lips to gods ears" thingy.

ha ha ha, a sweatsuit! (yes, I know all bball coaches wear sweatsuits all the time, let me have this image, thx)

Get out of here Gottlieb. THIS HAS TO HAPPEN.

he is so charismatic! you can see his globetrotter personality shine through! do a segment like that with Manbeck!

By "Larry Brown was KU's Bob Huggins" I mean Larry Brown stayed at Kansas for 5 years and led them to 2 final fours with one ending in a national championship.  Then he left them with Roy Williams.

Huggins stayed 1 year at KSU, went to the NIT, and left us with Frank Martin.

So Bob Huggins did maybe 1/5 as much for KSU as Larry Brown did for KU. Maybe. And we have maybe 1/5th of the basketball program that KU has.  Maybe.

KU is "KU" because Larry Brown took that job.  They talk about Naismith and Phog Allen and Wilt Chamberlain.  It's bullshit.  Larry Brown was Bob Huggins X 5.  Without Larry Brown they would be on the exact same level as K-State.

THE HALL OF FAME DOESN'T HAVE TO WAIT BECAUSE LARRY BROWN HAS BEEN IN IT FOR 10 YEARS!

MAKE THIS crap HAPPEN!!

NO BRAINER. 

One year.  Two years.  Who cares?  It's Larry Brown.

I reread this twice and have decided to declare it to be my finest hour.  #LARRYBROWNKSU

Bobby Knight won 3 national championships, and then was meh at tech.

Bob Knight is the ultimate SLTH.  Larry Brown is not.

Jesus, Gott put a lot of thought into this kind of like me with my oscar Peal thread.

damn you, manbeck! you scooped me! 

been talking with a friend who knows gottlieb very well. he said doug would definitely take the job if offered and has an interest in getting into coaching. he was gonna call/text gottlieb later and get some answers, and then i was going to come on here and write a mock story with a mock headline and a bad-ass MS paint job.

but not anymore. damn you, manbeck!*

*crean is better than frank.

[steve dave]

Guys, how rough ridin' stupid would John Currie have to be to not hire Doug Gottlieb.  I mean, Hurricane...Gottlieb....so many options that would love nothing more than to have this job.  If Tad Boyle so much as looks in the direction of Manhattan KS I will flip my crap.

yep, when you have superstars like Pearl and Hurricane and Gottlieb "pulling a Henson" you know you've hit the big time. There is no way Currie can eff this up now, can he?

ALL HE TALKS ABOUT IS RECRUITING.

I hope people aren't renewing their tix yet.

yeah, i gave him props for his question the other day. but legit, if gottlieb decides to take the k-state job, i will absolutely, positively guarantee that i break the story on behalf of goEMAW.

[steve dave]

I WILL SERIOUSLY BURN THE ENTIRE rough ridin' PLACE DOWN IF TAD BOYLE OR SOME EVEN LOSERIER OPTION IS ANNOUNCED

thank you for that, friend (I went 12 - 2 on college hoops in vegas)

[Rage Against the McKee]

I've already bought a few bottles of lighter fluid in anticipation.

[OregonSmock]

I just don't get the hate for Boyle.  Would be an absolute homerun into the stratosphere for K-State hoops.

I'm so  ane over these two possibilities. 

I don't think I've ever been this excited over something that I know is not going to happen.  I know I'm setting myself up for a huge KITN when it's Jank, but I just can't help it.

Look Boyle is a decent coach, but when you have better coaches who would fall all over themselves for the job (Hurricane, Gottlieb, heck even Underwood), you don't go out and hire Tad rough ridin' Boyle.

i quit sports betting five seconds ago. all my energy going forward will be devoted to breaking the gottlieb-to-ksu story on behalf of goEMAW. (who am i kidding, i'd give it to meek first.)

(who am i kidding, meek would still get it before me.)

(but i'm going to try anyway.)

(maybe.)

(ok, i'll do it!)

[Saulbadguy]

I have a backup just in case we hire tad.
