Point being I don't think there is any way that Bill leaves while Tate is on the roster in any respect.

Yeah, I understood the point.  Just don't know how bad his injury is.  I know that someone had suggested it was career ending.  Either way, I just don't think Bill has 3 more years in him under the current regime.

Welp, the SD's Dimel info basically makes this thread a waste of time. 

Dimel it is.

Jut hope our Jimbo Fisher is less Jimbo'ey and more Bowden'ey.

I don't think Snyder's decision to stay our HC hinges on Tate playing or not. For all we know he may want to see Tate play from the suites instead of yelling at him for missing a tackle on special teams.

Also Dimel will be a good buffer hire, if he works out then Currie looks good, if he fails Currie is the hero for letting him go.

Bill wants to coach his grandson, or at least control the reigns of the team of his grandson plays for.  Dimel would satisfy that, so would Sean obviously.

There was an interview with Sean during the media days that said Tate was still working on his recovery, he'd just had a couple setbacks.  Sounded like he'd be on the roster this fall.

having random cartilage floating around behind his kneecap is never good. Hopefully it wasn't any directly off his bone, because then he'd most likely be done.

What if Currie makes an amazing hire? (Petrino, Tressel, Peterson, Patterson). Is all forgiven?

[steve dave]

What if Currie makes an amazing hire? (Petrino, Tressel, Peterson, Patterson). Is all forgiven?

no, not forgiven.  he will do everything in his power to make an amazing hire because he has shown he's a loser at making hires and if he wants another job (he does, more than anything on this earth that's what he wants) he will have to show he can work well with his coaches and make a good hire. so, I wouldn't be shocked if he makes a good hire but it's not because he has kstate's best interest in mind.  I don't think it will be anyone with any baggage though.

That being said I don't really GAF about his intentions as long as it's a slam dunk hire.

[steve dave]

yeah, obviously I don't either.  I was just pointing out that all is not forgiven.

He will get a SLTH that folks from inside big programs will agree "yeah. that guy deserved a shot, great guy" but were unwilling to hire themselves.

This is probably our best case scenario. people are retards if they think Currie will come close to a "slam dunk".

Never underestimate the power of the 3 day Dallas hotel lock-in.

"slam dunk" is a relative term.  there are plenty of available slam dunks for kansas state that would not be slam dunks for Oklahoma or most other upper half BCS programs.

i've come to this conclusion too i think. we've already seen the type of coach that currie hires, so we should expect him to do something similar when given the opportunity again and not something that would be the complete opposite. it's like when snyder came back the second time and people were all "oh man, he probably learned some stuff and will get some young dynamic recruiters on staff this go around". ummm, no. that wasn't what he was going to do because that's not what he does.

If Tuberville was available he would hire a Tuberville.  That's what I expect to see.  A coach who had some measure of success someplace where it's easier to succeed than KSU, but who still ended up not getting it done at that school....meanwhile is a "great guy" and other coaches say nice things about him.

I predict Jeff Tedford (Cal) or Mike Riley (Oregon State).

Okay, let me clarify: anyone that thinks Currie will hire a K-state level slam dunk is a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

those would both be great hires for kstate imo.  if we aren't going to get a young offensive coordinator type.

Question:  Would you take Frank Solich?

I think I would, I really think I rough ridin' would.

no, he's 68 years old

This is a fun list to look at.

I like looking at the really "safe" ones that are at schools that are lesser programs, and ones at bigger programs that are on hot seats.
