Isn't Leavitt like 65? Are we looking at a short term lease or something that could be long term?
You take the best available regardless. Not saying that's Leavitt, just saying if you can expect 5 good years from a coach, you take that coach. It's no different than worrying about a coach using KSU as a stepping stone. The more success KSU has in football after Snyder, the more "legit" it becomes.
I'm still pro-Venables. Any coach not named Urban or Saban have risks associated with them. You just never know how well someone will do in a new environment. But Brent has been under Snyder, Stoops, and Swinney. That's an incredible group to be associated with and hopefully learned some tricks from.
