Does Currie survive this?
« on: March 26, 2012, 02:16:33 PM »
I can't imagine many K-State fans would stand up for the guy after the way he handled this situation.  How long does he last now that Frank's gone?

Absolutely. We are in the minority on this situation. The GPC crowd will stand behind Currie. I hate our fans.

Reminds me of the Al Bohl/Roy Williams situation several years ago.  KU opted to fire Al "Crushed Dove" Bohl instead of losing Roy.  I guess K-State fans prefer hoarding cash over a flashy, loveable coach like Frank.

Here's another fresh, new take on the situation:  Currie's ego has been inflated exponentially since hoarding loads of cash and building new facilities.  Perhaps Currie wants the chance to hire his own coach, and he thinks he can do better than Frank.  Maybe, just maybe, big-time boosters like 'Pad were in Currie's ear after the losses to teams like OU and Iowa State, and they gave him the green light to run off Frank.

Money was rolling in so fast, and with the processes in place that all state agencies (even athletic departments) must go through to build things, you don't really have any choice but appear to "hoard" money.

Maybe the whole Currie/JamSam situ was to show the NCAA the vast amount of compliance that our school has, and we could keep oscar under "control"

Currie is a rough ridin' evil GENIUS

Does Currie get most of the credit for that, or should most of the credit go to the success of Frank and Old Balls' programs?

To be fair to OregonLuke, the other threads are about whether Currie will still be AD at KSU.  This thread is about whether he lives.
