new AD Hire (next door neighbor dad looking guy from iowa)

[MakeItRain]

I was in grad school at Wichita State during the end of the Schaus era, good dude, underwhelming AD. K-State should be able to draw better than an old man who has spent most of his relevant professional career in the Missouri Valley and in the MAC, especially given we have a finalist who's the current AD at an SEC school.

If it isn't Bjork we can assume we didn't meet his salary demands.

If its bjork or ohio guy i will be satisfied.  If its toledo dork im gonna cry

Haven't we already confirmed it's the Toledo dork? Why satisfaction with the Ohio guy?

I can easily see a scenario where a guy like Bjork comes in and says that he wants full control to make decisions surrounding football when Snyder retires.  Bill and Meyers probably laughed him out of the room.

But a guy like Schaus or the Toledo guy probably wouldn't give a damn since this is their last payday.

Schaus seems to have a ton of experience making basketball hires.

goEMAW's entire game is to blast social media with rumors they believe to be true so they can claim they were first if it becomes true. I read through the goEMAW post and here's the main points: a moderator is 97% sure the announcement will be today and is 75% on O'Brian and 25% on the Ole Miss guy. No real mention of Schaus. I'd take this all with a grain of salt though... it is goEMAW after all. Also, as an aside, when the moderator listed the above breakdown multiple posters basically replied "ok so it's O'Brian everyone start spamming twitter". *insert eye roll*

Good PR move to make this the Friday afternoon news dump.

Good PR move to make this the Friday afternoon news dump.

Would be the first good PR move KSU made in a long time, announcing on Good Friday knowing within 36 hours it will be pushed off the first page Wabash Station with "He Is Risen" and "Zombie" threads.

FWIW the moderator, Dr Rick Daris, is now claiming...

I'm now kind of wishing that I would've kept rowwwdy boyyy

The 3rd question on my list to ask at Trolledo's presser is tf is up w/his hair.  #coverage

I would like to request "Moderator" be put next to my name. I don't want any of the powers that go along with it, just to be taken seriously when I post about my garden and in the fishing thread.

I haven't been keeping up on the AD crap so correct me if I'm wrong.   We're hiring a guy from Toledo that looks like a janitor?

['taterblast]

let's throw this old guy into the ring:

Why is O'Brien posing in front of a junior high track facility?
