CC, maybe i missed it earlier in this thread and if so i apologize.  but do you know why Brad Underwood wasn't granted an interview?

I thought he was interviewed.

i heard otherwise this weekend.   the source was a friend of the staff.

thinking back i don't remember anyone saying he did get an interview.  i think everyone just assumed that Underwood did get an interview.

Currie said he interviewed Underwood on BITB. I'm sure it's podcasted.

friend of staff and i were talking about head coaching job.

just relistened to april 3 pod.  unless i completely missed it he didn't mention underwood at all for head coaching job.  at the end of the podcast (about 18:00) they talk about trying to keep Underwood as an assistant.

He was probably going to be interviewed by "no predetermined parameters Currie", but then "D1 head coaching experience Currie" caught wind and nixed the interview.

About all I can say is that there are ongoing conversations, with outcomes undetermined right now.

Any updates here? 

This and the alleged mass player revolt are two stories that I hope don't fade away as the oscar Weber "buy in" push continues.

No?  Still nothing here?  Did we have to put these conversations on hold to work around John's vacation?

Yeah, sometimes the jerking is violent and painful.  But let's stay on topic of John Currie being a disingenuous douchebag (not necessarily tea party related).

It's hard to see his face because of the hat and he didn't shave for a few days, but if you look closely, I think that is definitely John Currie on the left. I think it's obvious JC thinks he's a master of disguise, but he's not fooling me.

Yep, everything is unfolding exactly as we said it would.

two pages in and I want to fight someone, literally break someones nose. Good for my criminal record that I wasn't 20 and living in Manhattan when this went down, I would have done something stupid.

I would not have picked BW myself, but I am willing so give it a chance. Not sure who is a better choice -- we weren't getting Mack or Cronin or people like that. You can name off assistants like Hurricane -- but who's to say that dude can recruit at a place that's not like Kentucky?

Reggie Theus would have been a far better choice. He had head coaching experience and interviewed for the Penn State job, I believe.  He recruited multiple top 100 guys to NMSU. He took over a program that won 6 games the year before he arrived and won 25 and went to the NCAA tourney in his second year.

re: Hurricane and other assistants - good recruiters are good recruiters. Antigua landed great recruits at Pitt and at Memphis, and Kentucky is dominating all the blue bloods in recruiting, not just the K-States of the world. I do not see how you can say Currie conducted a thorough search when he eliminated all assistants from the best programs.


JC wanted previous HC, preferably at a BCS level. It's perfectly acceptable to want that.

It's acceptable to want that, but it's not reasonable to expect that at KSU and end up with a guy that hadn't been fired for poor performance. I think it's rather foolish to limit yourself so much at a place like K-State.

Who is to say Theus was interested? Or that Antigua was interested?

ha ha, this is great considering Theus ended up at CAL STATE NORTHRIDGE this year.
