LHC Bill Snyder is the girlfriend you get when you are down but she's still there for you and supports you and all that. then things start clicking and you get super successful and make a ton of money. while she's cute, extremely hot gold diggers are in your league now. at this point the right thing to do is convince yourself that she's holding you back and break it off with her.
kstate is bigger than bill now.
This is brilliant and I think I just had an epiphany.
I wonder if the anti-seanites/pro Venzy crowd represents this that you propose. Sean, at best, is more of Bill 2.0, an eight win program with an occasional run at a conference title. While Brent could mean a shot at something bigger. High risk, high reward.
How you feel about Sean is directly related to how you feel about the current state of the program. Am I on the right track here? @Shooter Jones @Dlew12
Sure. If our ceiling under sean is more of the same that we've seen over the last 5 seasons then I'll pass. That said, I don't view Brent as any more "high risk" than Sean, which is where i'm guessing we'd disagree?
Sean, to me, is a guy with a ton of question marks, outside of, hey, he does a bang up job in the return game. At least with Brent, we have a guy who has proven that he can coach defense to the highest level and recruit. I concede that neither is a "sure thing" -- "sure things" are virtually nonexistent in these circumstances. But I prefer Brent's proven track record versus Sean's, which presumably consists of some intimate father-son time wherein Bill share's all of his secrets to success.
Brent represents slightly higher risk because he doesn't seem to externally possess any qualities you'd want in someone you'd want to run a program. He connotes winning, not leadership, like nothing about him does.
And Sean does possess the qualities you'd want? I'd honestly like to know what you think.
No idea. You guys keep wanting me to paint Sean in a positive light in comparison to Brent when, before today I've said over and over that to me they would represent similar hires.
I do know that Sean doesn't need a grown man to physically restrain him in the course of doing his job. I also know that Sean doesn't have public quotes shying away from the the responsibility of being K-State's head coach, if he did I'd turn my back on him too.
IMO there are things about both that you have to hold your nose and tolerate, it's just with each Venables quote my tolerance is being eroded. It's very possible that Sean would say similar things, but unlike Brent, Sean hasn't stripped the mystery of his mindset.
