Football Coach Search Master Thread

[steve dave]

I think Bill pushing Sean is secondary to Currie wanting to put his name on a football coaching hire. Hiring the current OC to take over isn't going to do that.

Wouldn't Currie look like a genius if Dimel takes over and is successful, though?

No, he'd look like he made the obvious choice. Obvious isn't resume worthy.

Achievements: Promoted current OC to HC when HC retired

If he was looking out for KState's best interests it would be clear. But, he's not.

Well, when he ends up announcing Dooley as the next HC, he will be the laughingstock of all college AD's. At least he would appear semi-competent if he promoted from within to keep the continuity of a top 5 football team.

no crap, but he doesn't believe that. we have a track record here.

I am nearly verklempt just typing this, but if given a choice between some loser that gets picked from a Dallas hotel room while Currie sits in his underwear and sends texts messages from his Blackberry.   

I'll take Sean Snyder (gouging eyes out)

[Harry Doyle]

Welp, thanks for ruining my Friday guys. I was ready to get excited for tomorrow's game, but now I'm worried LHCBS is going to call it quits in January.

I want Bill to leave when the cupboard is bare, which it will be soon if he doesn't shut his yapper. If Bill tells idiots we should be really good the year after he leaves, the next coach is mumped.

Well, the cupboard is pretty rough ridin' bare on defense next year

I would, too. Jim Tressel is the absolute best option for this team. Currie will not hire a coach with a show cause, even if it's very minor like Tressel's case. Petrino would also be nice, and he might be available if Bill retires after this season. We are going to be playing in a late bowl game, though, so it's entirely possible that he's off the table before Bill even announces his retirement. Without an obvious choice out there, I will take Sean over whatever loser Currie is going to find. The loser we know is better than the loser than no AD or UP can find anything bad to say about.

The worst part of this hire would be slap LHCBS in the face and pay Dooley more then what Bill is getting.

[Dr Rick Daris]

we're going to hire whoever gene keady tells us to. find out what football coach keady is friends with and you will have your answer.

I just hope Bill lets everyone know they will struggle , like he does with every single one of his best teams. He won't, because he's kind of a prick, but it would be nice.

Tressel might be a better option than you will think. He might be able to get the show cause eliminated by showing our super Compliance Department.

[MixBerryCrunch]

We're also going to need a new defensive coordinator very soon.

[420seriouscat69]

Do you guys think we could lure Weis away from KU? I want those rings.

Even if it's not eliminated, he could serve his penalty and be back on the sidelines for conference play. Then he would have to sit out the bowl game his first season. BFD.

The problem is not the show cause. The problem is Currie being worried about how he would be perceived if he hired a coach with the show cause. He cares more about his own career than K-State.

Tressel is pretty overrated.  He was head-and-shoulders above anyone else in the Big Ten talent-wise during his tenure.  He didn't out-coach anyone or have to coach players up.  He just always had the best players across the board.  When he played teams with similar talent (outside the Big Ten), he got smoked more often than he won.  What he was doing at Ohio State I don't think would translate to KSU at all.

i think i agree.

[steve dave]

I also agree

[Panjandrum]

We're also going to need a new defensive coordinator very soon.

Half of that staff walks out with Bill, man.  Miller, Lattimore, Hayes, etc.

This little run is like that scene in Tombstone where Earp and those five guys go out in a blaze of glory.

[steve dave]

all of those guys stay if we hire Dimel (unless he fires them for being dead weight)

Tressel deserves full credit for getting that talent, imo. I don't think he would be as successful at K-State as he was at Ohio State, but we would have more talent on the roster than we have ever had.

On a serious note, I could totally see Currie going after Gus Malzahn.

Flashy name, Sun Belt HC that would jump at the job, etc.

I'd put him on the short list.

In two or three years?  No.

If it were this year?  Maybe. It's not like he's setting the Sun Belt on fire.
