That is the most infuriating thing I've read since his letter to the fans last year trying to justify the program's attrition.

I am running barely more than EMAW fumes at this point.  It's bad, man.  I am just about ready to completely move on with my life in healthy ways that have zero to do with K-State in any way.  I mean, I can see it coming....it won't take too much more to just shove me through that door.  The funny thing is, it might turn out to be a wonderful thing, to just put all this nonsense behind me and focus on more valuable parts of my life....I just can't completely let go of it yet. It's strange.  go cats.

“I believe at this time next year I am going to feel really good about the progress we have made,” Currie said. “Just as good, if not better, than the progress we made from last year to now.”

The "progress" that Currie speaks of is fifteen wins to seventeen wins...

Guys we could get up to 19 wins next year with the right scheduling!

I was really proud of Coach Weber making some strong decisions last year,” Currie said. “But I am more impressed with the fact our freshmen this year were impressive players, good guys. They had a lot of success. Their individual stats are better than the current four-year stars in our league had as freshmen.

We won 5 conference games



Love that he skips over the fact that oscar built that mess

Of the 22 coaches hired by power-conference teams since 2012, he is the only one to win or share a regular-season conference title.

Bill Self did not win the regular season conference title his first year at KU.  Then he won or shared 12 straight.

It shouldn't have even been a mess. He couldn't manage a talented player he lucked into signing.

I'm certain that when the interview concluded and he walked away that he smiled and thought to himself, "nailed it."

Apparently UNC's investigation is concluding here pretty soon. I too agree that the only man capable of reforming that Athletic Department is John Currie.

Awwww crap. Daggum new AD has people diggun' through the trash again.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Look at D.J. Johnson, Westicles and Claws, those are K-State guys.

This is infuriating.

I cannot interpret this as anything other than dog whistle language aimed at that certain part of our fanbase. He knows exactly what he's doing.

A University President with testicles should fire Currie on the basis of that interview alone.

No sitting AD tries to explain his team's lack of results with "Coaches vs. Cancer."

I no longer want him fired. I want him re-assigned to a woman's college in Zimbabwe. I want his house and office burned to the ground and the ashes scattered to the Flint Plains wind. John Currie's molecules should cast no shadow on anywhere in Manhattan.

UNC hired a new AD after the scandal broke.  I understand Currie went after it hard.  Some in here have more insight.

By the time EMAW is done with him, he will be lucky to take a job in the MVC

I enjoyed the part where our Freshman played the best basketball of their 1 year careers.  The better stats based on much higher usage is also a fun stat.

I'm convinced the only way to push John to fire oscar is to start talking about a Title IX lawsuit about discrimination.

Honestly, none of what Currie says here makes me furious. My time of being upset was gone soon after it was clear that we didn't even consider Underwood. I said at the time that Currie was sticking with and tying himself to the coach he hired, and if he is intent on keeping oscar another year, it was absolutely the right thing to make some sort of statement of support. Plenty of ADs have given coaches a vote of confidence and then fired them the next year and I think Currie will do exactly that if next season looks like the last two. But he still has to sell the program for the future and to get people in the seats next year and he is doing exactly that. Like or not, while many K-Staters were on board with bringing Brad home, the intensity of the gE sentiment is small minority. If oscar fails next year he will be gone.

What is failure?  I think the success bar is set very low.
