This looks like it could be a KSTATEO version of a Norman Rockwell painting.

:eye:
1. Justin Fuente
2. Brent Venables
3. Tom Herman
4.  PJ Fleck

Why Fuente over Herman?  Just curious.

:dunno: a feeling

None of these guys are going to be our coach.

Awwww thank you :blush: before Pete created that thread tonight I would have said I don't know because I don't think Snyder is retiring this year, now I wonder what Pete knows.

If Snyder leaves this year considering all factors I would think that PJ Fleck and Matt Ruhle could be strong contenders. I am not sure if Gary Patterson will Gene Keady K-State but if he does, he is very tight with Fuente. I wouldn't be surprised to see a name of someone who already has a decent job like Mark Stoops or Sonny Dykes.

I would be very happy with any of:

1.Venables
2. Ruhle
3. Fuente

But what are the real odds of us pulling any of them?

Venables, I think would be clearly #1 choice.  Ruhle at Temple, Fuente, either would be Okay.  How about doc Holliday at Marshall(because his name is awesome)

I could be drinking Kool Aid, but I think if we offer BV, he's here in a heartbeat, and I think he's a lifer.

I mean, take the stupid '98 stuff out of the equation, and you couldn't build a more KStateo guy.  From Salina, JUCO, played here, coached here, went to OU, won a Natty, went to Clemson, may win a Natty.  There's a lot of chatter that he's the odds on favorite to win the Broyles award this year due to replacing a ton of his defense and still having them perform at their current level.

Venables is my dream coach.  Has been for a few years now.

Who's #1 choice? Certainly not John Currie's, of all the names batted around in here he's absolutely the least likely to be hired here.

Not sure that was English -- but,  I dont really give a rat's ass who he purportedly did what to. He seems like a good coach and a good fit.

Yeah, I was saying no one cares about anyone that may have been involved in anything like that, other than me caring about Venzy still being a coach that may be a good coach for us.

There's no downside to John Currie when he always talks about wanting head coaches w/head coaching experience.  Even when not in a hiring process, saying that says to dummies that he holds KSU on a pedestal and that only those who've paid their dues elsewhere are qualified to be a coach of your Wildcats. 

Then when he hires one w/head coaching experience, it's a pretty easy mad lib to fill in as far as "we set out to find the right fit with the right proven experience to lead this team" and talk about how he accomplished his mission.

But if he hires someone w/o head coaching experience, it's also easy to spin it as "you know, this guy was so impressive and we couldn't find anyone with a single negative word to say, that it was apparent he was our guy no matter what preconceived ideas we had at that outset.  And of course you might've heard of a guy named LHC Bill Snyder who turned out to be a pretty good head coach at his first job" and do that crooked smile.

I wouldn't eliminate Venables or others w/o HC experience as possibilities just because Currie's implied that's a prerequisite so far.  An AD saying something like that is no more meaningful than a new coach saying he likes "up-tempo" during an introductory presser.

He's probably a job away from being a p5 hc, but Tim Horton from Auburn is supposed to be a stud recruiter.

I might have a reason to follow recruiting again if Venzy is head coach. I mean, my god, we would actually have a legit shot at stud-ish kids.
