OFFICIAL: Welcome Michael Orris to K-State thread!

[michigancat]

they aren't so much so that I won't give him any chance before he coaches a game.

he's been a head coach for more than a decade.  if you can't judge him now, how are five years a kstate going to tilt the scales?  stop saying you're giving him a chance.  you aren't giving him a chance, you're supporting him.

Angry Sys is the worst by product of the Weber hire.  Makes me sad.  

his "you aren't giving him a chance, you're supporting him" line is very well said.

oscar weber is the only coach in illinois basketball history to be fired for performance related issues and k-state is the only high major school to ever immediately hire a coach that was just fired from another high major school for performance related issues. let's give him a chance though. we can't technically be 100% sure that he's going to be pretty bad.

WELCOME MICHAEL ORRIS!  stay on topic, butthurt.

I guess I never saw a big difference between 'giving a chance" and "supporting" and I don't believe I ever denied supporting. I view it as supporting K-State basketball, but whatever.

Tech just hired Gillespie after he was fired at Kentucky for his crap performance (wasn't immediate but that doesn't matter).  University of Arizona just hired Rich Rodriguez immediately after he was fired at Michigan for 3 crap seasons.  These are the two most obvious that come to mind. 

Houston Nutt hasn't been hired yet, but I wouldn't mind him as a coach either, despite his 2 final crap seasons at Ole Miss.  From 98-09 he went to 9 bowl games.  His final 2 seasons at Ole Miss he was 6-18 and during the 04-05 seasons at Arkansas he was 5-6, 4-7.  But, I wouldn't consider him a garbage coach by any stretch.  He had a few bad seasons sprinkled amidst a lot of really good seasons.

to me, saying you are giving him a chance makes it sound like it is just the reasonable, pragmatic, fair-minded midwestern thing to do.  while supporting him makes it sounds like, "my school, right or wrong".  i don't insist on any moral superiority for either of the two, but i do think they are different in tone.

Football is a different sport, but Rich Rod will be an interesting case. I think he will succeed. Good God, I wouldn't want Houston Nutt, though.

The excitement of Manhattan in those pictures, coupled with the exciting personality of oscar Weber, could bring about a huge influx of 5*
recruits to little 'Ol KSU.

Warm up the AA flights friends

You're gonna let him move you into a ghetto?  I guess you could also get a train ride out of it.
