Football Recruiting Thread

Forgive my ignorance on this point, but what actually fueled the down trend of Snyder's first tenure? I didn't follow as die hard then as I do now and I remember hearing it was because the program started targeting top level recruits.  Is that true?

We didn't really seem to target top level QB's. Dylan Meier, Allen Webb, Allan Everidge. Woof.

oh we targetted them. we just didn't land any. which also goes back to our good coaches leaving.

Nick Patton.

all of our good coaches left because they didn't like coaching for him. the recruit targeting BS was just excuse making.

What was Bill doing that they didn't like?

being bill... jfc, you call yourself a cat fan and you ask questions like this?

What was Bill doing that they didn't like?

working crazy hard, starting to lose games and promoting Sean.

There was a time (still is generally) where a young coach under Snyder got a lot of calls in the offseason.  Do you want to run the risk they stop calling after a few below .500 seasons?  Also, K-state was paying pretty shitty for assists.

I mentioned previously my fervor for K-State didn't come until I enrolled in the fall of 06 so I wasn't really following the team during his first tenure.

I'm guessing this has been fixed?

But a good job for your son and a free ride for your grandson is a nice perk when you are 75

That's the price you pay for hiring your son as an assistant coach.

What?  All I heard is we're cheap bastards, who are getting the deal of our life. 

[steve dave]

we should pay Bill $500k. he's not going to retire because he would almost immediately die and he's not going to go coach somewhere else because nobody would have him. he's trapped.

[Katpappy]

What we need is some '04 & '05 Bill Synder, then at least we would have something to complain about.

[KITNfury]

I actually think some down trodden school would hire him, but don't think he would go anywhere else.

they would have to be pretty downtrodden. and agreed that he wouldn't/couldn't go either way.

KU would hire him on his deathbed, roll him out on the field in a windbreaker hooked up to all sorts of machines.

Sean was DOFO during the first tenure his only promotions were as Assistant AD and Associate AD.

has only been a full assistant for four years.

For sure.

If they thought they could have landed him, I could have seen Texas hiring LCBS to "claim the waters." A couple NCs and he enjoys a golden retirement.

He's too old, hence "Old Ball".

Even if UT coveted Jake that badly, losing 2 years for intra-conference transferring is a killer.

Currie would never let Bill tamper with our program like that, anyway.

But maybe that is his master plan to "calm the waters" he needs to claim Waters.

stud/boss football recruit Aaron Williams gets it...

"I'd say they're towards the top," finished the rising senior with a unique perspective. "I say that because... they're like a girl. If they show enough interest in you and like you that much, you're going to take notice and maybe show the same back."

"At the beginning, (K-State) showed me a whole bunch of attention and told me I was near the top of their board, so it would be foolish of me not to continue that relationship."
