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

[mocat]

why would you be mad at Brad for us wanting him super hard

[HugeCat]

Negative:
His people reached out to K State which could have cost us getting a good coach during the time that we messed around trying to meet his demands
For someone who allegedly loved Kansas State and was always wanting to come home to coach, he wouldn’t have done that to us, using us as leverage to get a better contract
Positive:
I never wanted him as a coach in the first place
I think he’s overrated and we would’ve had to pay way too much for him
We ended up with a much better coach in my opinion
We hopefully sent a message to the coaching world and to our fanbase that we are not the little sisters of the poor and for the right coach there are deep pocket alumni that are willing to pony up the amount of money necessary to compete

Brad sucks. There, I said it!

Now we can see who between Brad and Tang make it past the round of 32 first!

eff Brad “I love Kansas State” Underwood and the horse he rode in on. At least I’ll never have to hear that rough rider mentioned as a future coach at Kansas State again.

huge we love you but I think you're wrong here! Dude won a Dr. Pepper and got a 1 seed the year prior, he deserved that raise regardless of our interest.

10/10 post
Would be so pissed if Brad's meddling caused #TangTown to pass us by.

This is a list of top college basketball coaches salaries as of March/4 and things are fluid, but this would move Brad ahead of Huggs.

I have no problem with Brad making the money he’s making, I just don’t think he needed to play his alma mater like chumps for leverage. Brad is a good coach

fraud underwood belongs in illinois

true wildcats don’t defraud their school like fraud underwood did to ksu cats
if fraud were standing in front of me right now i would flip him the double eagles

Has Kurtz passed Jmart as the greatest K State media personality?

He’s like an insurance agent now or something

Apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

For real, his dad was a broker/had an agency.

[HugeCat]

Interesting. I did not know that he had gone into the insurance game. Thanks. I would still consider him a media personality though. I will miss him at Kman.

BJ is one of my best buds from college. He’s utilizing semi retired broadcasters to help his new platform. He’s killing it. He left the Chiefs to start it. I’m super happy for him. Also, I grew up with all those dudes at 91.9 & the collegiate.

Actually was meaning Brad, to be clear

I have no idea if he works in PR. Kind of makes sense.

[420seriouscat69]

He doesn’t. He got to cover 2 big 12 Championships and an elite 8 as a radio guy, as a inside fan, and take trips doing what he loved along the way. Not everyone needs to be
“Scorned earth mother fuckers and BID because of oscar!” to enjoy their time during the happiest/fun career he’s ever had. Most of us leave because the $ isn’t there. It sucks, but I 100% guarantee that’s why he did it.

[420seriouscat69]

I’m sure he built a bond with him as well and he’s being sarcastic in that tweet

[MakeItRain]

John does work in PR now, he does it for a large company in Kansas City that everyone has heard from. He also still does his podcast for the KC Sports Network and does some p-b-p for ESPN+. Anyway, he went on the record about Brad contacting K-State as soon as oscar was gone. So while his team was completely flaming out to end the season; loss in their first conference tournament game, should have lost to Chattanooga, then losing to Houston, Brad was behind the scenes making offers and counter offers to K-State.

Let the Illinois fans have their victory lap, they need it, poor bastards.

He comes across fine in that. I’ll give Brad the benefit of the doubt, it’s entirely possible his agent reached out to K-State and drummed up interest without any input or insistence by Brad. Kind of like a “obviously I’ll have to run this by my client but we both know there’s interest here, how much can you offer?”

Hard to fault a guy for staying where things are going well. Who knows if Huggins would have left here if he was coming off a Big 12 championship.

You think his agent made an offer and counteroffer without his input? lol

I don't find fault with him not coming here or with him using us to get more money from Illinois. But don't, as Judge Judy says, pee on my leg and tell me that it's raining. He did what he did and wants to still remain as beloved as he was a month ago and leave his options open if K-State was ever available for him to do a job reset.

[catastrophe]

I missed that there was a counteroffer, which explains my ignorance there. I thought the rumor was K-State was able and willing to match the demand. If that’s true then it seems like they were not true “offers.” But I may have just misunderstood what K-State was willing to agree to.

[HugeCat]

Hypothetical.
Brad Underwood’s record his first three years at Illinois:

Year 1
Record 14–18
League 4–14 T–11th


Year 2
Record 12–21
League 7–13 T–10th


Year 3
Record 21–10
League 13–7 4th


Are people going to be happy with Coach Tang if he doesn’t do better than this his first two years?
