Ok, let's assume Sean gets the job. Who does he bring in as DC and OC?
Klein and Seiler.
I don't think so
Why? Because of the continuation of the Snyder tree? Inexperience?
Completely inexperienced, I'd question those two as coordinators at a FCS school, at this point in their careers.
_FAN was also joking, btw.
Mainly joking, yes.
But this is has always been my contention with Sean, ie. what kind of coordinator is going to come work for him knowing his career? Granted, K-State can likely attract better than those 2 because we are a legit P5 conference school, but I don't see the ceiling for who is going to come work for Sean being very high. And the issue is that Sean will need high quality coordinators because from everything I've ever heard, his overall football knowledge simply is not that high.
I wasn't sure if it was joking or not, so I just wanted to find out some clarity. I can understand the inexperienced argument, but I would also present the same rebuttal when Venables, Stoops, and Leavitt were also inexperienced and started as a GA.
Leavitt started as a GA in Iowa (prior to that, he was a GA in Missouri) before coming to K-State as a LB coach for two years before moving up to the Co-DC position, which he shared with Bob Stoops.
Stoops started as a GA in Iowa as well before coming to K-State as a DB coach for two years before moving up to the Co-DC position as well.
Venables also started as a GA in K-State and moved up to the LB coach for two years before joining Stoops in Oklahoma as a Co-DC.
So what's the difference between those three and compare to Klein and Seiler (in terms of experience-wise at their respective ages/time)?
Klein was a GA/Defensive Quality Coach for two seasons before going to NI for one season as a QB coach then back to K-State for the same position.
Seiler was a GA/Defensive Quality Coach for two seasons as well before being a End coach and then the LB coach this year.
It wouldn't surprise me if those two happen to be future OC/DC at some point in their careers. I'd like them to at least have that opportunity here in Kansas State, rather than retain Dimel and Hayes.
