How In The Hell Did We Let Brad Underwood Get Away?

[BIG APPLE CAT]

you know its weird i'm not sure that i've ever knowingly heard his voice but in my imagination he sounds like andy richter

ISU literally interviewed him and Steve Prohm in the same cycle... and chose Steve Prohm. I hate everything.

I'm pretty sure we could have had him when we hired oscar. But maybe not!

That's interesting because it would have represented his first break, but it would have come by sacrificing Frank and Jamar. I think he would not have passed on working for Currie and his crew of shitbirds.

i don’t know if he would be comfortable taking frank’s seat after what currie did to him.  loyalty in this profession is p strong.

[wetwillie]

Would Frank be AHC under Brad?

I think it’s a joke.

Rumor is oscar may now be considering retirement due to possible departures on his staff or a replacement that would keep his staff together is interested in the job.

Rumor snowballed into trying to find out if Brad has a K-State clause in his contract or something.

I heard at the time that he was willing to stay on as an associate head coach under the new coach.  Currie promised him a job prior to making the hire and then let oscar do what he wanted with staff, leading Brad to go to South Carolina.

Typical that Currie didn't know what he had in Brad. When Frank played him for a raise when the Miami job opened that Frank didn't get any way, Currie have just said fine.

People who act like they knew what we had in Brad from the get go are the worst. Nothing suggested it with his previous HC gigs at Dodge City and Daytona Beach. Also, we just hired from within once Huggy left and people would have bitched hiring from within again, if we did it after Frank left. They would have called it a lazy offer. I do enjoy the hindsighters tho, who think they knew what we had all along. GTFOOH!

First of all, I definitely misstated what I was trying to say. I was attempting to say that I don't think he would have stayed and worked for Currie.

I do wonder about him offering to work as an associate head coach for Coach X instead of following Frank to South Carolina to perform the same role. If oscar didn't get the job Steve Alford probably did. Can you really envision Brad staying here to work for oscar, who had just gotten fired for performance, or Steve Alford, the coach of New Mexico? I don't feel like that makes sense.

i remember many people wanted him. like the thought was that he was a big reason behind the success. at least a lot more than the average hiring within a program kind of move.

[420seriouscat69]

I remember him helping fix our offense, when Frank was lost, but I wouldn't say people would have lept out of their chairs in joy if we retained him.

[wetwillie]

Is it really that far fetched to think Brad would take the KSU job if it came open?  I assume money is no object for donors if he is the candidate.

[420seriouscat69]

$8 Million buyout seems a bit excessive, but it's not my $.

I don't know how well Brad fits with the other coaches but I think he was immensely qualified to coach offense specifically.  I generally hate it when administrators force assistant hires as I think it undermines the HC right out of the gate.

I viewed Brad as the worst acceptable hire once we lost Frank and I put oscar beneath that.  I don't know why people (media?) would complain about hiring from within again after Frank was successful here.  Most people were pretty ok with hiring from within once Huggs left as that was the only way we were keeping the recruiting class, even if we were gambling on a relatively unknown in Frank.
