Brad Underwood isn't coming to KState...

[schreds21]

OSU was so stupid with the Ford contract that being extra cautious with Brad makes sense.

Also, shows this wasn't about T Boone opening up his wallet. OSU quickly pursued Brad and he quickly answered. If we had pursued him at all he would've listened.

Have been told that... 

"Underwoods parents have shared that Brad had  dialogue and offer from oSu late Sunday and his agent reached out to Currie and…….. crickets. No response."

from who? a cowboy fan?

guy from Mac who's connected to the Undies

Must not be too connected or he would know that it would be impossible for Brad's parents to share anything as his father is no longer living.

I would be fine to have the next coach k at KSTATE for 5 years and then leaving. Good grief, I have friends that do not understand the idea that it is better to train your employees and help them grow and they end up leaving you vs not training them, they suck, and stay with you.

We'd all enjoy a great five year run. We'd all enjoy a great 10-15 year run of one coach more though.

I don't think we'll see a "great" 15 year run at KSU again. Depends on your definition of "great" I guess. Like, Frank wasn't exactly great, but I think we all knew that if he didn't have the anger issues he would have been a candidate for much better jobs. Brad matching Frank's tenure over five years (and being issue free) gets him in the discussion for jobs like Michigan State, Maryland, Indiana, Arizona, UCLA and maybe even Kentucky when they open up. And he would listen.

I agree.  Anyone else with that type of success would surely bolt on KSU. Almost all the other "KSU guys" are :barf options imo. Brad was that once in a generation shot to stick around for awhile imo. At least one that looks to be very good.

Underwood is a good coach, plays an exciting style, is a "KSU guy." The tipper was, at 52, he is just the right age to stick around.

Sticking around at K-State has become a bit higher on my criteria list but not a deal breaker by any stretch.  If someone bolts for Kentucky, it means they kicked ass here and good luck to them.  The only thing that sucks is somewhat proven mid-major coaches don't seem as likely to leave for a K-State level program as they once were.  Stevens/Smart/Marshall all seem perfectly content to kick mid-major ass until an elite comes calling.

nope, the rumor has to be true- read it here at least 3 times

I mean, if we really want a guy that sticks around for 10-15 years (even with a solid amount of success), we have that guy.

Chris Lowery?

Chris Lowery?

oscar (if he stays around). He'll be 60 after year 5. Even with a high amount of success, he's not going anywhere. He took this job planning to retire from K-State.

[O-town Kat]

Chris Lowery?

For the sake of trying to salvage the season, i think he gets interim HC in Jan-Feb if oscar has a shitty start to conference play.

was I wrong?


WAS I WRONG??????

You certainly weren't right, but whatever.


Re: Brad's contact and future money; it has been reported several times that OSU's private money is closely tied to oil and they're taken a significant hit. They went after Brad early and not the other guys because he was seen as "not Travis," promising, palatable, and affordable.

Unpinned the thread..

That's what I thought...

Delayed fuse maybe...but called the shot from reliable sources a LONG time ago that the timing wasn't going to work out.

This board sucks...but I can't look away.  Emaw

No i'm friggin' terrible and it's inconsquential at this point.......but geezus the thin skins on the #1 KSU clique site is tremendous! 

Hey, Schulz is gone and Currie is on an egg-timer...and Snyder will be taking his last lap around the league before Currie promotes his son to Head Coach to "get it over with"  Good times ahead!

UPKS is to OSU as ZULU is to KSU?

The fix was in.

so weird. Like, why would Brad have Garth hang out with him on day 2 of the job?

[wetwillie]

We all converted to OSU, why shouldn't Garth be able to?

Garth hung out with the staff all the time when Frank was here. I'm not surprised.

To be fair, Garth hung out at OU this year too. Tweets about Buddy and pics with OU players from earlier this year.

What's weird is how early it happened. Like, I'm guessing Brad had some work to do. And I guess keeping donors happy is part of that work, but still. Kinda strange that garth and/or Brad would think it's important to get together at that point.

Those substantial donors should riot to change KSU.

tried and failed.  hard to threaten a guy who already has another job.

Garth is basically the Kansas version of the Marlins guy.  What a life!
