Can I help you? What can I pass along that the site creator hasn't already created, that the map proprietor hasn't begun in 4+ years?

Inside knowledge confirms everything before this minor update was created in a night after leaving the bars. What map progress do we have?

This page http://www.firebrucewebernow.com/about.html is very strange. "WHAT THEY WANT IS FAILURE, AND NOTHING WILL STAND IN THEIR WAY"

Hiring a coach you thought could win but doesn't -- it happens at least once to virtually every AD in America. Currie has fired staff/coaches before, he will do so with oscar if/when needed. Keeping a losing coach looks worse than firing one you hired. Why on earth would an AD want failure?

Personal opinion: assuming Weber returns in 2016-17, if he doesn't make ncaa tourney, Weber will be gone.

Why would he be gone? What if he makes the NIT? Why is 5 years the magic number?

You know now that he cannot recruit to the level of a P5 conference and he cannot manage talent and he makes ridiculous excuses when he loses.

Just do it now.

Personal opinion:  Currie knew Weber would not win long term here.  Didn't think he would be around to deal with it.

I don't think keeping oscar would mean Currie is "wanting failure" to him, it means oscar has met his expectations. Nothing about oscar's performance thus far should be a surprise to anyone, ESPECIALLY Currie.

Of course, to a fan, Currie's expectations could be considered "failure".

I don't agree that retaining weber for next year means he has met Currie's expectations. And I also disagree with your underlying premise that Currie is ok with mediocre basketball. If that was so, weber would return after next season regardless of postseason -- and I don't think that's the case.

I think Currie expected weber to win. You can argue whether that was wise. I don't think it's reasonable to believe that he expected mediocrity or is ok with it. Every AD wants to win. The best thing for Currie's image would be to have a coach he hired do well. To think he wants anything other than that doesn't really fit into the other narrative that he's an egomaniac.

I don't think he WANTS to fail, but when we had Frank, and he tried to dismiss Curtis Kelly, then the whole Jamar thing, then running off Frank, it became clear to the fans winning is not what is valued most in a coach. What K-State has sold the past few years is "Family" and "The K-State Way" and "Doing thing THE RIGHT WAY" etc. I'm sure a win is viewed more positively than a loss, but the message I received as a fan is we'd rather lose the oscar way than win the Frank way.

New KSU coaches will be hired by a guy that wants to win and thus he hired oscar weber and expected oscar weber to win.  Good luck with all that.

Currie's order of preference in my mind:

1. Win weber way
2. Win Frank way
3. Lose weber way
4. Lose frank way

I think Currie would rather win the "right" way, whatever that means to him -- he'd rather win and play by the rules. He thought he could get that with Weber, and I suppose it is still possible. But if/when it doesn't work out he'll find another guy.

Yep.  Trying to be some squeaky clean program on a pedestal seems very unreasonable given what college sports appear to be.
