You can fire oscar after getting a 12 seed

And sure you can, but I don't see that happening at K State

You can't see that because this fan base is filled with the expectation that their athletic department can't/won't aspire to be something more than mediocre. Minnesota fired a coach who won a national championship after he WON a tournament game. Freaking Minnesota.

If our fans at some point stop feeling like we're less than, then we may not have to feel like we have to hire loser retreads. Just a thought.

I've been a K-State fan for 17 years, and I've seen one coach fired in MBB. That coach was retained after his 5th season with a 10th place finish in the league and no NIT bid. So even if the climate is different at K-State now (it is, drastically) I can only go on what I've seen. Its hard for me to see a clean program that improved from the previous season and makes the tourney having a coach fired at K-State.

That was literally a generation and 4 athletic directors ago.

BITB reiterated the following today:

1. He's hearing $6 mil in cash for Brad's buyout is ready to go.

2. Veatch's hands are not tied when it comes to dealing with oscar.

3. oscar needs to win at least one, but likely two games in the tourney to keep his job.

Also says Snyder is pushing hard for Chad Weiberg.

If we can pay $6 million for the buyout and then whatever other raise Brad wants, are we sure we can't get someone even better?

Especially at Kansas State. Why would Underwood be in it for the long run more than Lon Kruger?

Underwood wasn't even a beloved star player. No one had heard of him before Huggins hired him.

What coaches could we lure with that kind of money?

Martin’s buyout, which had dropped to $800,000 after this season and was set to fall to $500,000 after each of the next two seasons, was increased to $4.8 million after the coming season and $3.5 million the following season. It would then drop to $1.5 million after 2018-19 and eventually get down to $500,000.

Well you could probably get a guy like Sampson  for a lot less. And it would get a freshly fired Hoiberg to listen.

 Getting back Frank would be my number 1 scenario. Underwood 2nd.

Stealing a power 5 coach with a decent resume makes you feel so powerful.

Jankovich is my favorite candidate otherwise.

You're basically paying the $6M for Brad's upside. His ceiling is way higher than almost anyone else, and the assumption is he'd stay here no matter how much success he has, unlike other "high ceiling" people.

I'm not saying I agree with this logic.

Would Scott Drew be the better choice between him and Underwood?

absolutely, assuming the same price

For $6 million you could reanimate or clone Jack Hartman. That's what we should do.

$6 million goes a long way towards tha South Endzone project.  Also buys most of that new soccer stadium.
