That's the only option after Gene's weird media spree recently.

I think Gene is leaving the door open to crap-can him.  "I plan for him to be back and we'll evaluate after the season" gives him plenty of opportunity to change his mind after the season.

I still think KU needs to embarrass us worse to make it happen though.

Isn't his contract kind of set up to fire him in the last year of it (2022)? Basically let him make a miracle this or next year, wait out some of the shortfalls in revenue then get your coach.

It's set up for him to be fired by an Athletic Department that isn't poor AF, but yes, it gets better each year like other contracts.

Also, after next season I believe Brad's buyout drops to like 4 or 5 million (LOFL)

I don't think the buyout is a real concern.  There is a cost associated with firing any coach and, with the exception of the first couple of years of a new contract, it's what a school can afford to pay.  I guess the variable in that is the unexpected revenue shortfalls from the pandemic.  Still, a new coach could bring a lot more excitement to next year's ticket sales.

Typically you wouldn't let a coach get into the last year of his deal because it's tough to recruit.  In our situation, we're entering into oscar's cyclical 2 year recruiting hiatus so maybe that's not a concern.

i think the AD would make up for his buyout with increased tickets/donations that a new coach excitement would bring

LHC Bill Snyder was clearly fired, the same will apply with oscar if he isn't the coach next year. The biggest difference is that the media will actually acknowledge that oscar was fired when they didn't work Bill because people outside of the program didn't know or care about the internal issues with the football program, all anyone knew was LHC Bill Snyder and 8 straight bowls.

I dunno guys, maybe we need another deep dive into Jack Hartman's coaching stats to determine if oscar sucks or not.

Look at the replies to this tweet. WTF? What a world where _FAN and I seem like extremists for just acknowledging reality. Crazy how many extreme sunshine pumpers exist out there. I know I have mentioned this before but @kstateman is a plague, he's not only an extreme sunshine pumper, but he's very aggressive in his pumping.

I think most people who respond to tweets like that are going to skew toward sunshine pumping

I think Rusty is right, tweets like that tend to get extreme responses on both sides, but probably more positive. I was encouraged that the offense was good, but at the end of the day it's the 11th straight loss. Only the 3rd time that has ever happened at K-State during a season.

And LOL at Gip with the call out.

Oh for sure, but go back and look at the replies to the other game final tweets even the games we won. It's very clear that for an undefined percentage of the fan base the standard has been way lowered. People acting like we are Gallaudet playing Gonzaga, we used to beat these dudes like they stole something, SMDH.

Yeah, that was absolutely a clown reply. I didn't love the tweet either, but Gip's reply was idiotic. Gip has really showed his ass the last few months on twitter and I would say he has been a disappointment, but I didn't expect much of him anyway.

K-State can’t finish its dinner. The 10 games before was like trying to jump in a car to drive for 50 miles with 4 flat tires. We stink so hard.
