Coaching update

[pissclams]

K-State's total athletic department made more than $11 million dollars more than Illinois' athletic department made in FY 2011 . . . Pepperjax, "That's not relevant".

LOL

We're talking about college basketball programs, 'Pad.  Who cares what Illinois generates in football?  They have more alumni and more fan support than K-State.  It's a better job.  I seriously can't believe so many of you clowns would argue otherwise.

At this point, if it's better, it's not much better.

With the right coach, it's a top 10 job.

Jesus Christ.  It's NEVER been a top 10 program.  Also Duke is living proof of any program being able to be a top 10 program with the right coach.  Small private school in the shadow of a monster with strict admissions and a tiny gym.

Just so we're clear, Duke athletes have different admission standards than the general student body. 

[Pete]

There are only 2-3 programs in the country who can pay their less than the top 10-20 programs and still be regarded as a top 10 job.  Illinois is not one of those.

henson. lou henson. also, no. no self was not better in the couple of years he was there than henson was. gill, anderson, bardo? eff me. the guy averaged over twenty wins during a twenty year coaching period while at illinois. jesus christ and you can't even get his name right.

Dude it was auto corrected on my phone and I missed it, rough ridin' chill.  You don't think I know who Lou Henson is?  Get rough ridin' real man.  I have the program from his final four.  Speaking of which, after his final four he won 1 tournament game his last 7 years including missing the tournament altogether in that time frame.

Maybe Illinois is TOO close to Chicago to have success.

Also is there any doubt now that the Illini In The Know sock belongs to beems?

it is nice that Frank's HS background means he has few AD type contacts that know better concerning his mad man image

But still more stringent than most BCS schools right?  That took a while I had to make sure I didn't give Daris a reason to freak out about any auto corrections.

Um, that doesn't really make a lot of sense...

Sure it does.  It's a top 10 job, which will attract the right coach, making it a top 10 job.

Yes.

Only PepperJaxBeems would take my point about K-State being able to match anything Illinois could offer financially if it choose to do so and have a complete bi-polar meltdown about it.

The numbers are the numbers, K-State athletics is vastly more profitable than Illinois athletics.

Profitability doesn't mean anything.  The ability to generate revenue is what you should focus on.

K-State athletics blew Illinois out of the water in both net and gross revenues.

how would i know what you know and what you don't? i'm not a mind reader and i certainly didn't program code on whatever auto corrected "henson" to "benson".

that aside, henson also averaged over twenty wins over twenty years at that school, meanwhile bill self inherited a lon kruger team full of future nbaers  and then promptly went to an elite 8, a sweet 16 and then the second round exit in the ncaa tournament. i would hardly call not making a final four and finishing worse every single year he was there "amazing". maybe your phone autocorrect "pretty good" to "amazing" though.

Don't worry about Daris.  He just freaked out because someone dumped kitty litter on his lawn for the second year IN A ROW!!  Its not about you...

careful rick...how dare you question MIR when it comes to basketball?

K-State's profitability is only going to go up with the new TV contracts. 

K-State athletics has also been green lighted to approach any and all potential donors, that was not the case 3 or 4 years ago.
