Football Coach Search Master Thread

[Gooch]

The football hire will have a different set of criteria.

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

I rough ridin' pray that you are wrong Rusty

There's lots of reasons. Try to be positive.

most of the reasons involve wishful thinking and dreams and none of them involve logic or reality.

The truth is we had the best momentum in last 25 years of KSU B-Ball and were putting the finishing touches on a $20MM B-Ball practice facility and Currie turned that into "hey, this 80-year-old man recommended his best friend (Weber was the best man at his wedding this summer) who just got fired for going 50-56 the last 6 years in the Big10, including 6-12 last year...stop the search, I'm going to trust this old man's word about his best friend."  Even if he was actively trying to put in minimum effort into the B-Ball coaching search, he still made a shitty hire.  That's the worst part.  Even if it were true that he didn't care about the B-Ball hire, it was still a terrible hire.

isn't the oline coach supposed to be kstate's best coach?  just hire him and be done with it.

James Franklin

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.

Yeah, but Dimel could either recruit another stud QB or we would fire him post-Sams. This stuff works itself out. I want to hire the coach who will have the best record over the next 3-4 years, and I think Dimel very well could be our best choice.

[Benja]

Why wasn't Dimel successful as a head coach before?

he was pretty successful at wyoming.  he stunk at houston, but it may have been a product of wrong place, wrong time.    art briles did alright with his recruits.

Why would it be different?  It will be a "safe" hire, which translates to someone that won't cause problems, most of the tucks have heard of, and at least has some token success in his background for Currie to talk about at the press conference.  The first guy Currie's buddy mentions that fits that criteria will be hired, before he even boards the plane to spend 4 days in Dallas watching porn in the hotel room.

Well just what in the hell do you think this season is made out of kRusty?

He never made a bowl game in a shitty conference.

So nobody thinks that what James Franklin has done at the duke of the SEC is impressive enough to give him a shot at Kstate?

Franklin already makes $3MM and has a top-20 recruiting class this year.   He's not coming to KSU.

None of our donors or admin do.

[swish1]

Not sure which of those is more accurate but Kat Kids response is much more depressing...

Somehow it makes me feel better that the most widely backed/realistic candidate to replace Mack Brown at UT is Paul Rhodes.

If you want to trust Coaches Hot Seat over a website dedicated to covering sports for a private institution for the FB coach's salary, I guess that's your choice.

They're already talking about Franklin losing his OC.  Let give him more time; could be another Turner Gill. 

[p1k3]

Why would we want Franklin?

[DQ12]

Right or wrong, James Franklin isn't an option imo because tucks associate him with Prince.  Dimel is a guy that tucks and non-tucks can get behind. 

He's a good Snyder disciple who knows what it takes to win in MHK and will have Snyder's blessing.  All of that is important to me.

As anybody considered Sonny Dykes.
