I would just like to reiterate that in no way, shape, or form do Geno and Gottlieb bring the same things to the table at K-State.
Are you going to elaborate? I was an pro-Gottlieb as anyone and continue to be, but I would take Geno over him too. Geno would give us a higher media profile than either of the two. Geno isn't awkward, make excuses, eat chicken nuggets, recruit poorly, run a bland offense, have an annoying voice, or all of those other things oscar gets made fun of for.
The only thing I can think of that you can even attempt to make somewhat of a legitimate argument for Doug over Geno is if you think he is more connected to potential GOOD assistants and has the ability to lure them here to work under him. Frankly, I don't know how either of us can make that argument because in both cases frankly it's a wildcard. Doug mentioned his brother and Doug Wojic, you can't definitively state those two are better than anyone Geno could bring in.
People were/are mad about the oscar hire because we hired a low risk/low reward retread and we needed to take a high risk/high reward hire both oscar and Geno fit that description.
I'd love to hear your reasoning that is seemingly different from every other thing I've heard on here the last year. Would also be interested to know if you had this fresh perspective why would you hold it out until now?
