He is going to continue whipping ass for another year and if his alma mater opens up then he is going there. If it doesn't then he will take best available job next year. Unless he beats Huggins then his Alma mater hires him this year.

The best and most realistic path for Brad to coach KSU is for him to take one of these major conference jobs that he wouldn't form any bond with and get whatever experience at that level people think is important and then he can jump to KSU when there's new administration.

best path is to replace a successful mid-major taking over one of these shitty major conference jobs. It's always better to take over a winner.

True. I was thinking from the perspective of eliminating any objection (lack of coaching/recruiting at "our level") that anyone could have when a new AD would be considering Brad.

My point is more that I don't think KSU permanently loses out on him if he moves up from SFA to somewhere else now. We couldn't get him for a little while anyway.

The only jobs that fit that profile are Wichita State and maybe Houston. All of the other mid major schools that could open up are lateral moves at best.

No, there are shitloads of mid major jobs better than SFA. Namely, most of them who have coaches leave for better jobs.

Of course there are a lot of mid major jobs better than SFA. But I don't see a lot of them where Brad would be a good fit opening up this year.

Are WSU and Houston opening up this year?

UCF, Tulane, and SLU could all be good natural fits. And the good mid major jobs haven't started opening yet (but they will).

Those teams won 12, 12, and 11 games this year. Why on earth would Brad subject himself to a rebuild at any of those schools?

Marshall is always in the conversation for P5 jobs and Sampson won 22 games this year. Both have resumes that warrant a better job IMO.

I don't think it would be a good idea...just saying that there will likely be a natural fit available as the high majors poach from mid majors.

I did not notice this, but Brad is already 52. If he goes somewhere else for 4-5 years, he's gonna be damn old before we get him.

This is why I want him now, or next year at the latest.

FWIW, oscar was 55 when Currie lured him away from CofC.

Good point. Larr was 61 when he went to the U.

We haven't had a coach for more than 6 seasons in 30 years. Age is the least of my worries with a head coach.

True.

Hartman was 16 seasons. Tex was 15 seasons. Gardner 10 seasons. Then the rest. Not a bunch of long term coaches here.

Huggins left for his alma mater after a one year stint. (sh)it happens.

Umm...SFA is the good mid-major job and BU is not going to leave for a Tulane, Marshall, etc. He already turned down more money in Marshall and Southern Mississippi two seasons ago.

No, it will take a power 5 conference for him to leave.

Remember Robert Hill (SFA AD) gave BU his first division one head coaching gig and BU is very grateful for that and BU is going to want to go to another program that is just as committed to winning as SFA is.
