Probably Forbes field then for a quick touch and go meeting at the Capital Plaza hotel, per usual process.

Would make Leavitt's contract clause super weird

Nothing seems to surprise or amazing me anymore as a 'Cat fan honestly.

I guess Levitt would be a good HC for us; but goddamn he's ugly!

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.

oh man, I had totally forgotten Ryan was our DC for a month.    ANother funny Ryan / KSU story

Quote
Tannenbaum says there were two events last year that made him sure of what a genuine article he had in Ryan. The first was one of those early occasions in a relationship that, when looked back upon, seems of defining, if slightly inexplicable, importance. These being men, it involved a road trip and many hamburgers. Ryan, Tannenbaum, Schottenheimer and the quarterbacks coach, Matt Cavanaugh, were going to Kansas to scout a potential draft choice, Kansas State quarterback Josh Freeman. Ryan dutifully appeared wearing a dress shirt and crisp trousers, as he had for the many business dinners and events he attended since being hired. This time, Tannenbaum told his new coach: “Rex, he’s a draftable player. He has to impress us.” Ryan’s eyes grew big. He disappeared back into his office and re-emerged wearing a flowing garment which he referred to as “the dress sweats.” The four men jetted west, landed and got their rental car, a pick-up truck. Ryan drove, Tannenbaum rode shotgun, Schottenheimer and Cavanaugh sat knees to chest in back. Stories of the Plains were told by Ryan. Soon all four were dusty. Nobody minded. They watched Freeman throw and run. They were impressed, though not as much as they would be by Mark Sanchez of the University of Southern California. Then, on the way to the airport, Ryan suggested a visit to a Sonic Drive-In for some refreshments. Most of the items on the menu were ordered, including, for Ryan, a cup of limeade the size of Topeka. The truck shook. Nobody can say why. Possibly it was many men eating. The result was that Ryan’s cup began to spill. Freshets of limeade poured everywhere. “Oh, no!” Ryan cried. “The dress sweats!” It has become an iconic line, and every time those words occur to Tannenbaum, he feels happiness.

Guys watch this video, it is an amazing 10 minutes, though 4:45-5:10 is particularly hilarious. This guy is the best coaching candidate not currently a power five head coach and it isn't close. If he's available when we're looking for a coach and we don't get him I'm going to be pissed. Watch this video and tell me this isn't what you want our brand to be.

the fleck-kill connection is an interesting one

Maybe. But the thought that Kill and Currie at some point discussed the future of K-State football post-Snyder is high and I'm sure Fleck was someone that Kill would have spoken very highly of.

I do like that he has many of the values that would seem to "fit" at K-State (granted, often an overrated part of coaching searches), but partially he has some "anti-Snyder" traits (in a good way) like the emotion that wouldn't be a bad thing to have in post-Snyder era.

Do you really think Jerry Kill is going to pass up the opportunity to be the guy who John Currie consults with from a Dallas hotel room?

I really enjoyed his take on having a winning team.  He says recruiting is  the highest priority and have kids buy into the system.  Or otherwise said: "Young men that want to be here and want to do the best they can".

I think this is the first time I've seen Fleck.  Definitely the first time I've seen that jacket.

Well, maybe. Here's where the Kill thing shows its head again. Claeys is a Kill protege and Minnesota clearly did him dirty. It makes no sense to fire a Kill protege after he won 9 games to hire another Kill protege.
