...according to the results from the NFL Draft. By my count, KU had three guys drafted (Heeney, Shepherd, and McDonald) while K-State only had two guys drafted (Lockett and Evans). KU also had a number of guys sign with teams as undrafted free agents. I think this pretty much confirms the notion that the only real separation in terms of the two programs is coaching. Snyder milks every last drop out of his talent and gets his teams to consistently over-perform, while KU has had a couple coaches recently who never really had a clue how to coach a college football program.
To Gill's credit, he was able to identify talent, but he didn't know what to do with it once it reached campus. Weis was basically the same way and changed offensive schemes almost every week instead of developing a consistent strategy.
It's really frustrating because with a good coaching staff, I think last year's team goes 5-7 or 6-6 and competes at a much higher level. You could see during the TCU game that last year's team was capable of beating just about anyone when they played with energy and intensity. It's really a shame that those guys didn't get better coaching throughout their careers.
