Who knows more about coaching at KSU than Bill?

SEAN!

Sounds like we should hire him then. Checks all the boxes.

I'm conflicted AF about all of it.

Thinking back to how we were too good for Eddie Sutton....

There's a reason Currie gets paid the big bucks!

My thoughts on the HC Sean Snyder Experiment:

2009: eff NO
2010: still eff NO
2011: I mean, maybe he could keep this going
2012: I'M IN, let's try to keep this going
2013: HCSSE still has more potential than whatever loser we'd hire
2014: Man, look at Venables over there
2015: OH MY GOD VENABLES

If KSU is Leavitt's dream job and he wants to be in Manhattan, I think he would be a great second choice.

Leavitt is much closer to oscar than Eddie Sutton, my word.

Katpappy · « **Reply #188 on:** December 31, 2016, 12:29:00 AM »

It's pretty obvious that Leavitt has got some kind of deal with JC and LHCBS blessing to be the next HC for KSU... or he's just a stupid eff to put that in his contract.

Being a natural KSU pessimist by nature, I consider it's possible that an exception clause is relatively common in most large buyout contracts?? I don't know, honestly. But maybe his agent put it on the table without Leavitt doing much "negotiating." And KSU is a P5 job that he's connected to and is guaranteed to have a coaching vacancy in 1-3 years.

This, and maybe he assumed his contract details wouldn't garner much publicity.

The alternative is that he has a handshake deal with Snyder, a guy who has been openly advocating for his son to get the job as late as this past offseason.

They hybrid theory is that Bill might be throwing Sean out there without the sincere belief that Sean will get the job, or even want the job. Instead, he'd "settle" for Leavitt?

I don't really think of Bill as a negotiator, but maybe that's what it is? Who knows.

ChiComCat · « **Reply #192 on:** December 31, 2016, 08:19:23 AM »

If Bill thinks Sean is a non-starter with Currie, he would take Leavitt who would definitely keep Sean on.

Here's a post from an Oregon message board, they don't seem too worried about it. Interesting that they think we would go after Rex Ryan if Snyder retires. http://oregon.247sports.com/Board/45/Contents/The-contract-for-Jim-Leavitt-has-been-released-50103177

I appreciate they mentioned Rex's K-State ties.

I like that the highest paid coordinator in the Pac 12 has K-State as his dream job.

Would it be inappropriate to send a few bottles of glucosamine and chondroitin to the KSU athletic department?

Yea, just having that clause in there makes me feel big time even if it is a 60 year old DC with a checkered past.

I was just going to post this. No reasonable person would give up that much leverage on future head coaching negotiations unless most of the terms were already set.

Brady Hoke had this same "dream job" clause in his San Diego State contract regarding Michigan. He had one good season at SDSU and got offered the job.
