i'm happy for brad's success but he still reminds me of the early-50's guy who gets raging drunk at the P&L and throws up on his new long sleeve Ed Hardy shirt

Man, what a great thread. It's got numbers for the stat heads AND penetrating insight.

Brad is gonna kill it at a p5 school. I hope it's us

Brad has great hair and looks like a boss on the sidelines. These things matter.

If that guy won us tourney games IDGAF. But yeah the guy is a little gross.

I like Brad a lot, but he's still winning with another coaches players. Since that's a theme on this board, I'll pump the brakes a bit.

Good point, but if he gets hired away, he will just win with another coaches players again. Could be hard to judge for awhile. I'll just believe he is a badass and take anyone not named oscar weber

it's a bit of a stretch that many here think he'd take the k-state job.
why would an apparently in-demand coach want to come work for the guy that ran his friend/mentor/boss out of town and screwed one of his players from playing his last collegiate game?
this isn't brad's k-state anymore and he's probably smart enough to realize that his continued success (longterm?) will afford him better opportunities down the road.

Would love to see how Brad and Staff would recruit to a P5 school. I thought he was really developing as a recruiter at the end of his time at K-State. Being in texas right now recruiting at a mid level guys is great for him to build relationships. He already has solid JUCO connections and that could become a better asset with hard admission standards from the NCAA.

Give oscar one more attempt to win a tournament game next year. If not, bring in BU

Really happy for Brad and his staff for racking up wins at SFA, but he hasn't beaten anyone of note. I'm sure if he puts up another 30 win season this year he will move up to a better job.

His first round win the the tourney last year was impressive. He lost a close one to Northen Iowa at home this year. However, yes, I agree. He doesn't really play anyone.

He has yet to beat a P5 team (0-3). I'm sure the big boys are not lining up to play them, but at some point you have to beef up your schedule.

Well, he did win @Memphis this year, which in years past would be amazing and also beat the crap out of LBSU.. So, like, give him a chance to schedule first. He fell into this schedule the last two years.

I have to think Brad is highly unlikely to come back to Manhattan, especially considering he'll have other options over the next 3-4 years.

kso_FAN · « **Reply #20 on:** January 27, 2015, 03:00:50 PM »

Brad is unlikely to come back to Manhattan because he will be in the market for a job much sooner than the K-State job will be open. Probably.

AndrewVonLintel · « **Reply #21 on:** January 27, 2015, 09:39:26 PM »

Stephen F Austin probably doesn't have the caliber player of your TCU's and Texas Techs and Harvard etc.

He is completely dominating his league.

We could let him coach Foster, Nigel Johnson, Westicles etc. Then we can bench his best player when we want him gone again.

Probably, but KSU is probably the only P5 job he could land directly from SFA. He'll have to go to a southern miss or eastern Carolina first. I'm guessing.

Not if he has tournament success

Mixed-Nutz · « **Reply #24 on:** January 27, 2015, 11:42:11 PM »

He can move up when he wants to. He had some offer to more prominent mid major conferences this past offseason and turned them down. He is currently in a good position and can wait for the right opportunity.
