is oscar hurting k-state 2025?

[j rake]

i could care less about the ksu hoops program. i didn't attend k-state for the sports. i went because of its great academic reputation and because a degree could help me achieve anything i wanted in life. like most proud k-state alums, i've been following kirk schulz's visionary k-state 2025 plan with great interest. a degree from a top 50 public research institution such as k-state would enhance my profile and take me to a level i never thought possible. (you too, probably).

but the negative publicity surrounding oscar weber seems like it could hurt our chances of gaining membership into this exclusive club. i've heard all the arguments for getting rid of him, but all these arguments focus on things like X's and O's, recruiting, and championships.

can we PLEASE make an academic hire? i have a short list if necessary.

Here's the thing about oscar:

You get all the awkwardness of an academic achiever, but none of the performance.


rake is right.  oscar weber is a terrible ambassador for a Top 20 campus (per respected news outlets).

my top choice is coach kevin nickelberry. he has academic integrity, is media savvy, and is also a family man. for those that care about sports, he's also a top 25 recruiter. he's done some very nice things at howard university and listens to NPR for fun.

j rake, can you tell us what you REALLY think of oscar?

i make my own luck, j-rake

it's hard for me to be objective because i feel so strongly about the academics. it's been clear since Day 1 that he's a terrible fit given that he's previously coached at non top 50 public research institutions.

Understood.

But, if you had to drop that level down to say 100 or so, what would be your "take" on this?

i could be talked into hiring this kevin nickelberry guy.  his wikipedia page needs some serious work however.

bone.

Bone: One .500 league record season, over .500 overall at WSU, NIT Semis, CBI Finals in 4 years.
Robinson: CBI Champs, CBI Semis, CBI first round in 5 years.

Tough to decide.

wsu had a hall of famer before bone, and shoulda kept his kid.  robinson is the president's brother in law.  it's an easy decision.

rake, did I send you my Todd English at the PUB picture? WOW
