Leach

oh man, I love the pirate #CJK5H

I would be so down with Leach. He can store any player he wants in a locker/ warehouse/ refrigerator type area as far as I'm concerned.

Nobody puts baby Lockett in the closet!

But you know it would do him good in the long run. Make him a better person, etc.

Jim levit and Gary pinkle are rough ridin' losers. Weber level hires. Dimel hire dominates both of those.

Coaching records indicate otherwise, and neither was fired for performance.  Dimel, on the other hand, is worse than Weber as he has been fired from schools that people forget exist.

Ok I guess, whenever Hayes is ready to hang it up.

Two things:

1.  Bill isn't going to leave without at least tasting what it's like to have sams at the helm
2. Currie actually cares about this hire, he may swing and miss horribly but he isn't going to mail it in like with weber.

[OKclone]

If bill steps down after this year, currie should hire Dimel, imo.  he won't, unfortunately.  I’m guessing Ron Zook, so we can get all the losers fired from Illinois.

It's going to be either Chizik or Dooley.

I hope it's chizzledick.

I gotta hand it to you OKclone, of all the put downs and insults we endured; this is the mother of all ZINGERS. 

[puniraptor]

Hope the people who say Gruden wouldn't consider coaching here have been watching these Hooters commercials.

Yes. Currie may not always have k-state's best interests in mind but he didn't give a eff about basketball; this football hire will be his baby.

[CHONGS]

Yeah Currie doesn;t give a crap about football because he knows that what our fanbase wants.

HE will throw a  crap tonne of money at the next head coach.  He wants a BIG splash.

[Benja]

Dimel would be by far the best hire for people that want to see sams win a heisman his senior year.

Not so sure how good of a hire it would be after that.

[Benja]

They have already been collecting money for awhile. Everyone knows this is huge. Weber was a safe hire that we didn't have to splurge on in a sport that doesn't matter at all revenue-wise. He may very well eff this up but it won't be for lack of funds or a legitimate coaching search.

[Benja]

With the amount of cash in mind to throw at the next coach, Dimel is only acceptable as a long-term hire if we also throw cash at someone like a Leavitt to come in as a d-cordinator, IMO

[Benja]

We can do this guys. We can hire someone good.

[Benja]

I'm getting excited just thinking about it. It is night and day comparing our position to hire somone competent at this point in time as compared to 2005. Let's go do it.

[Benja]

Who's with me? I donated 10 dollars to the Ahearn Fund the other day. What did you do?

[michigancat]

I swear, the "Currie didn't care about the basketball hire but cares about the football hire" is one of the dumbest theories KSU has ever had, and we've had some pretty dumb theories.

[CHONGS]

I rough ridin' disagree.

[TheHamburglar]

I swear, the "Currie didn't care about the basketball hire but cares about the football hire" is one of the dumbest theories KSU has ever had, and we've had some pretty dumb theories.

They are people that are just in denial about how terrible the Weber hire was in order to keep some hope for the future of KSU FB.  The only believable theory that comes close to this theory is that once Currie realized he wasn't going to make a splash hire costing $2-$3MM, he decided to do the best he could at Frank's salary while not breaking his budget so he has more flexibility for the FB hire.  However, to think that Currie didn't get the guy he thought was best for the job $1.5MM is ridiculous.  He gave it his best shot with $1.5MM, problem is his best still yielded a shitty hire.

[Benja]

He got a guy that wouldn't cause any problems and didn't break the bank. And would be the exact opposite of Frank, because Currie was sick of Frank. These two items were a priority over getting the best possible coach, because basketball doesn't make any money, and currie is a money guy. The football hire is unequivocally more important and there is actual money on the line, and currie loves money. He may be an bad person who wants to get out of manhattan, but he's smart and rough ridin' loves money.

there is enough money on the line in basketball to try. Like you said, Currie is a money guy, and money guys don't throw away hires responsible for several million in profit. He tried, and thinks he did a good job.

I think he thinks he did a good job of hiring someone that fit the criteria I mentioned above. Granted, he probably does have a higher opinion of Weber than most on here. The football hire will have a different set of criteria.

[michigancat]

It won't. No reason to think it would.
