KU is right on par with Notre Dame ... when it comes to adding additional conference revenue
Beer pro tip: never drink anything other than BL, coors, pbr, maybe a few others that I'm forgetting
i'm always late to the party. really didn't think he'd turn out to be the caliber of coach that he is. it's a limited sample size but all evidence points to him being legit. good for him
There were more then enough data points to suggest he would be better then a known loser. More then enough to take that 3 year risk. Oh well.
it wasn't an issue of risk. the problem for currie, last year, was timing. we could not fire oscar after giving him the rebuild green light. if brad was available now there's no doubt in my mind that currie would attempt to hire him.

We should have hired Brad when Frank left. There is nothing wrong with hiring from within a successful basketball program. oscar is the kind of coach programs hire after somebody gets fired and leaves the program in shambles.

Plenty of ppl would have been dissatisfied with that as well. Many are saying this now because of what he became.
I remember that time like it was yesterday and many wanted a home run hire. Were you cheering for that hire at that time or were you cheering for some former college pg/ talk show host?
Leavitt does not equal Brad that time. That's all i'm saying. He was an unproven assistant coach, who had a .500 coaching record at Dodge city CC as a head coach.
in the end, EMAW will always win.
Brad was the least acceptable candidate for me. I don't mean the worst, but just that I saw him as the worst one that I would've been on board with. oscar was unacceptable.

He was an unproven assistant coach, who had a .500 coaching record at Dodge city CC as a head coach. At that point I was pretty much "taking a flyer on Frank worked, why not Brad?". Plus Brad had been part of the program for multiple years and was a K-Stater. I would have absolutely been fine with taking that shot, especially considering who we ended up hiring. Currie could have hired Brad for 750K a year max. Fans would have been fine with it too, especially with the corp of player Brad was inheriting.
