Face it you are way outnumbered by "fan" like this
Anybody even remotely thinking about getting rid of Currie has a serious problem. K-State athletics has NEVER been in such good shape, not even close. The mess with Prince was solved, we have a fantastic new BB facility about ready to open and an Icon-type West Side addition to BSFS breaking ground. All toll about $100 million in new construction. This all happened in 3 years under John Currie. The previous 100 years combined didn't amount to that and some jerks on here are ready to trade it all in for a coach that left by choice. My God, coaches leave every job, that's how the game goes. But finding someone who was able to turn a joke of an AD into a prime example of how an athletic dept. should be run is inded a rare find. John Currie is on the verge of being the 2nd Miracle in Manhattan. We'll find out when the new HCBB is announced and how the new guy produces.
How soon some people forget or is it a case of not knowing the history of K-State's Athletic Dept. Either way you never had it so good. Take time to stop and smell the roses before taking such radical reaction and suffering the consequences. EMAW!!!.
So Currie blew into town & handed Prince a check to make him go away. Big deal, anyone here could've handled that situation in the same manner and likely at equal or lower cost.
Make no mistake: Huggie & Frank built the basketball practice facility. If Huggie doesn't come to Manhattan and leave us with a winning hoops staff the first dollar is never committed to that particular white elephant. Now, with a shiny new $20M practice facility set to open, a preseason Top 25 team returning, an NCAA appearance next season being a floor for expectations & having just run off a coach who had more success in less time at KSU than Lon Kruger, Tex Winter, Jack Hartman, etc., the best Currie can do is a slow-motion train wreck who couldn't perform at an institution with massive natural advantages that KSU simply doesn't have (and a recruiter who brings in lots of talent ... who apparently isn't coming to Manhattan). All for the low low price of 20+% more than we were just paying the most successful coach in KSU history. Call it the "Currie Tax", the money way above market we're paying for guaranteed mediocrity.
The football expansion is great. But now it's time to recognize that what John Currie can do for Kansas State he has already done. He's reached the end of his utility for KSU athletics because the major & much needed facilities upgrades are already happening or are imminent (yes I am aware that there exists a never-ending wish list).
Going forward Currie's primary function will be to retain successful coaches in & hire well for the two sports that drive the department and whose success is necessary for the success of the department. He's already failed to retain the most successful coach in the history of KSU basketball. In his first hire he's failed miserably in overpaying for guaranteed mediocrity ... at best. I continue to believe that this hire serves John Currie's interests in that the disaster will unfold only over a few years thus giving him plenty of time to claim credit for next year's NCAA Tournament appearance & exit well before the horrific nature of the hire becomes undeniable. He's a self-serving little weasel who should be tarred & feathered and run out of town on a rail for what just transpired in the basketball program.
