Official:Future Head Coach Watch List *Assuming Currie/AD wins internal struggle

[Rage Against the McKee]

I think we would have a shot at Whittingham, but not for $2 million per year.

He is worth every penny.  He is very competitive.  If he can do it Utah, he surely can do it here.

Oh, I know he's worth it. I was saying we would have to pay more than $2 million per year, not that we shouldn't pay it.

If Currie is AD when we hire a coach, the following criteria
1. Not an ounce of EMAW
2. White
3. Reasonable success and no controversy, likely fresh of a BCS school firing

Whoever said Tedford or Riley is a fuckin genius at guessing what is in the mind of Currie

You forgot 4) somebody that a buddy's search firm will "identify" so we can kick them some money, preferably one that insists on reaching John at a Dallas hotel to discuss things rather than at the office in Manhattan.

good point... this means we're mumped.

That was me.

Also, somewhere in there will be a leaked quote or two about how "we couldn't do much better."

[Katpappy]

Seems like it be either Synder or Currie picking our new FB coach, our chances of getting a loser are confirmed.
  I just luv this guy.

5) new coach must inspire ADJC to mention "we couldn't find a single person that had one bad thing to say about him"

After the bed shitting in our BB coaching hire, I'm confident our FB hire will by shitty.  I have absolutely no confidence in Currie's ability to hire a coach.  I just hope the war chest rumor is true and the money is so high that even Currie can't eff it up.

6) mows his own lawn and attends press conference that announces his own firing

I don't see how our money on hand prevents Currie from rough ridin' up.  If anything, it just allows him to blow more of our money on a mumped-up hire.

Yeah, we're going to spend $2.2MM on Mike Riley.

I agree. Paying a lot of money for a crappy coach doesn't make him a good coach. I would rather overpay for a good coach than get a crappy coach at market value, though, and it's somewhat reassuring that we at least have the ability to overpay for a good coach, or it would be if our AD wasn't so concerned with the bottom line.

[kim carnes]

guys, bill has 10 more good years in him.  rest easy for now.

[Dugout DickStone]

More money just means more to embezzle/kick to a friend.

I am actually hoping for this. Postpone the inevitable.

What was JC's relationship with Phil Fullmer? I know JC headed up the search that landed Lane Kiffin @ Tennessee...don't know if he was high up enough @ that time to have been influential in firing Phil or not

Not saying Phil would be a good hire, but he seems to meet a lot of the criteria being laid out

[ELL3]

How could a guy that hired Kiffin possibly turn so bad and hire chicken nuggets?

[Pete]

How could a guy that hired Kiffin possibly turn so bad and hire chicken nuggets?

It's rough ridin' baffling, isn't it?

My only explanation is that he honestly just doesn't give a crap about basketball...like, he's so SEC that he basically just hired who "they" said to hire and moved on.


This Kiffen selection has my attention.  I was not aware Curried played that prominent of a role.  Very impressed....

[Cartierfor3]

We didn't let LHCBS put something in his contract about choosing a successor did we?

[Pete]

Nope.  Hence massive Bill butt hurt.

he didn't. i'm sure he was part of the search, but saying he had any input whatsoever is pretty far fetched. him having something to do with the hiring of pearl is much more realistic.

currie at tennessee was more less a guy who oversaw the raising of funds as well as stadium renovations and building of a new basketball training facility. he's obviously pretty good at those things and super aggressive on the fund raising side even to the potential of being detrimental to the academic fund raising people, which i personally think is great.

getting along with talent (read important coaches) is something that he is apparently horrific at though and should cause concern for all involved. i mean, frank and bill are two of the best things to ever happen to kstate and he's run off one and is about to run off the other. allegedly.

The guy grew up in Chapel Hill and got his undergrad at Wake Forrest, I don't think he is apathetic to CBB. 

I am afraid he may really be that out of his element when it comes to the "between the lines" part of the AD job. 

When Frank bailed and indisputably confirmed all the rumors of JC being difficult to deal with, the one hope I had that JC is some kind of ambitious evil genius with a masterplan to get his own guy in the 2nd most important job in his AD.  Instead, we get who we have now and I take that as proof JC may only be the first two things and not the third.

i think he's a cfo who somehow randomly got involved in sports administration.
