Mizzou hiring Currie would be a blessing for K-State.  The guy might be the most overrated AD in Big 12 history.   He ran off an incredibly popular and successful basketball coach only to hire oscar Rough Ridin' Weber.  The football program is in cruise control as long as Snyder is the coach, and all of the stadium upgrades are 100% due to Snyder's success.  Currie has been riding his coattails for years now and taking full credit for it, while simultaneously making Snyder's life miserable.   Oh, and plus, he refuses to release players from their scholarships and suspends athletes for so much as farting in public.  The Currie love is one of the more tuckish aspects of goEMAW, but hey, he's a convincing SOB.   Give him credit for that.
rich criticism coming from a fan of a school who employs sheahon zenger as their ad


Zulu has more national championships during his time at KU than K-State has in the entire history of its athletic department.  Dude has also reached record high athletic revenues and upgraded/built a crap ton of new facilities.

He hired Charlie Weiss and David Beatty

^ This should close this case (with apologies to WC08 for borrowing his line).

KU is so deep inside this board's head.  Can we have one thread that doesn't turn into a KUfest?

The two ku fans in this thread have a combined 14,000 posts on this board.
My word cloud doesn't even have ku in it.  Can you say the same?

I think it would be impossible to not fall in love with Mack Brown if you're around him for more than two minutes.

The rumor was he would be the new FB coach, but they hired Chad Morris.

Okay, close your eyes and imagine football recruits going up a floor in Vanier 2.0 to meet Mack Brown and then tour the facility with Mack.

Since no one else has asked the question, I guess I'll be the one:  is Mizzou really a step up from K-State?

A southerner like Currie probably would view an SEC job as a step up.

I would put them both on the same tier.

I'm not sure how exactly AD's would judge athletic departments as a whole though. Would a large state institution with tons of sports but little success at the important ones (Cal) be more attractive than a school that maybe doesn't play water polo or field hockey but kicks ass in bball and fball?

It probably depends on the AD. John Currie would not care at all about a school's water polo or field hockey teams.

I don't think it really matters.  Dealing with Snyder's departure is a no win situation.  No one you hire will ever be good enough.

Also, the oscar thing is going to get ugly before it gets better.

Contrast that with Mizzou.  It will probably be easier to find a good coach to come to Mizzou after the success Pinkel has had, and you have to have a pulse to hire an upgrade to Kim Anderson.

If he got their finances in order like he did ours, he fundraised there like he did here, and he did okay with the coaches, I think that gets his career trajectory back on the path he wants.  As of now, I think KSU is going to be a tough situation to step up from.  We're running out of things to throw huge piles of money at to build his resume, and the coaching situations are a mess.

So, regardless of whether or not Mizzou is a better job, all things being equal, I think it's a better situation for him to step into if he wants to ultimately run an elite AD or pull a Bowlsby.

JC has all of the building stuff lined up here at KSU. He can't talk about any further expansions for a few years. All he has to look forward to is hiring Bill's replacement and dealing with the shitstorm he created by hiring oscar. It would be very smart of him to go to a different, even less than equal, place.

mu is a better job than k-state and it would get him closer to his southern roots.  i can see them being interested in him too.
