I mean, lay off the whip, Currie!

Currie said the same kind of nice things about Frank. Deb Patterson too.

What's your point?

Why is everyone getting so worked up about some dude who is not, was not, and never will be anything great for kstate?

Because when there's a chance of a shot to throw Currie's name under the bus, you go all for it!

If Bill cares in the least about his tribute video I've thought about making he needs to give me plenty of warning.

I don't know, I have no doubts that Kstate athletics is more inherently weird internally then most athletic departments.

So anything is on the table, but with that said I'm now leaning towards Kill just wanted to coach again and less towards the inherent weirdness of a building with John Currie and Snyder with offices near each other.

Kill quit coaching because of his health. He's a lifelong coach and the Rutgers OC job pays 4x more than his current job. His new position is much more preferable to him for multiple reasons, health permitting. To think he's taking a new job that he feels is a risk to his health just to get away from Currie is ludicrous. If he just wanted to get away from Currie he could have got a similar job for similar pay at multiple other places.

I think currie involves himself in football program operations and Snyder isn't used to it/doesn't like it/feels like he's above it. I think that's probably all there is to it. anybody suggesting kill left for anything other than to get back doing what he is used to doing while making four times as much money is being ridiculous.

yeah, bill went from having zero oversight to having some. and he went from calling all the shots with regards to the football program to not calling all of them.

Currie said nein on FHCSS

Cell phone tracking software that resulted in finding Michael Smith talking to Tyler Lockett and self reporting/sanctions for it despite Smith being his godfather or something.

Something about cuts to clothing budgets and players saying now they had to practice in socks with holes in them.

wetwillie · « **Reply #2512 on:** December 20, 2016, 12:13:32 PM »

I mean there is that whole not letting him turn the football program over to his first born son thing.

Being the OC at Rutgers for a few years isn't really high stress work. They probably told him that he can sit in the booth, come up with the game plan, call plays, etc. They probably told him he won't have to do much recruiting. Very limited to no travel.

You can make the job palatable. It's just how many concessions Rutgers is willing to make for him. And I'm guessing that they are willing to make a lot for a guy who knows the Big Ten and a lot of the programs there. Especially with a young coach in his first job.

This move would be based more on Kill escaping a negative situation more than it would him turning his back on K-State and his "word" to not coach again. He wants to be a Wildcat but someone has made that more challenging than he anticipated.

So Kill actually liked his job and just wanted to coach again.

DJamer is pretty good at spinning things, so who knows.

Isn't it a positive that Snyder hates Currie? Like, that's one of the things I like best about him.

I would rather they be best buds and conspire to get away with a bunch of gray area stuff.

I'm not sure it's something I really like, but it's definitely endearing. Snyder apparently won't even go near him during church. CHURCH!

Church feuds can be some serious stuff. Maybe we all have this wrong, and this thing is entirely a church feud? Any Manhattan area Presbyterian insiders out there?

the fact Currie has survived alienating the most important man in the history of the school in addition to running of Frank and replacing him with oscar is maybe his greatest professional achievement. I do wonder if Schulz ejecting has changed things.
