how much explaining does me not thinking he has enough experience take? as much as you thinking he does have enough experience? to your point, we have plenty of message board space, we can do this all day and night and i'm sure it would be productive
you: he has as much experience as currie
me: everyone here hated currie
but nobody hate currie because of his lack of experience. people disliked currie because he was insecure and picked unnecessary fights with coaches that he should have been working for and trying to help as much as possible instead of against. I don't chalk his insecurity up to inexperience. I chalk that up to a personality flaw that I am 99% sure neither of the four candidates kk and I are talking about have.
I am completely fine hiring a younger, smart, ambitious person with ties to kstate athletics even though they have never been an AD. Do you only want people who have been an AD before?
people disliked currie for how he acted in his administrative roll, those actions were of an inexperienced manager
if given the option (which I have been given since it's my opinion), yes, i want someone with experience for reasons i stated earlier.
i happen to feel that our athletic department is a field of land mines right now and want someone capable of managing through the complex issues at play.
