if we end up with Kliemen it's an embrassment.   Is there a Taylor quote about him not being the right fit?

1.   I think we'll see Jim Leavitt announced eventually.

2.  I'm not sure this wasn't a complete troll and smoke screen by Pete and the only reason LittreLL was even mentioned by the press and other fans is the momentum started by Pete to yank everyone's chain.

I had been told Leavitt last week (page 15) and I think you're right about Pete.  Pretty sure he's going to get a nice kick back from Lismell after he sign's with GT because they had to pay more to get him because of tricky Pete.
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

FWIW, Georgia Tech already named a head coach.

Well gE had a good run.

Yup. Thankfully the servers can't handle more than a few people coming on to laugh right now.
Yea can someone overclock the ram or something. We deserve to be made fun of. If not bbsing really has become a lost art.

If true, fire Gene obviously. If you think the guy isn’t worth the demands he’s making (see j rake) that’s fine. But if you think you have a candidate good enough to be the Cats’ head coach, you’re an idiot if you can’t let him make his own staffing decisions.

    Everyone assumes it’s LittreLL

    I’m really disappointed guys. I was on the LittreLL train. I’m happy you get to keep your coach. I sure hope your OC never leaves before Seth does. To pass o?n a $4.1M offer either takes balls of the self realization that your coordinators are the reason for your success. Good luck in your bowl.

Now THIS I can respect. LittreLL is exciting but unproven. If it’s an issue of LittreLL overreaching on contract terms I’m still riding shotgun with GT.

We have sources indicating that the KSU AD will announce that LHC Bill Snyder’s run as head coach will end, and that we expect our next coach to be that LittreLL guy.  Our source is not a baby monitor duct taped to the bottom of a table in the AD offices, so do not bother checking for one because that would be a waste of Univeristy resources, and no one wants that. 

Additionally, we were told by another source “If he kept seiler on we'd have to buy more squat racks for the players.”  However, this seems like speculation.  I mean, someone absolutely said that, but we don’t really know what the squat rack situation is at all.

We will try to keep this thread updated as we know more.

Also, please remember to donate:  https://www.fattyfund.org/fatty-fund-1/


KSU parts ways with LittreLL because of STAFF?!?!  Red Herring.

There was a very informative post (and series of follow ups) that was placed both on KSO and goEMAW.  So informative that many an eyebrow was raised.  You can go rake around for the posts...they are easy to locate.  These post have been read by a lot of people.

Yep. This’ll be a K-State fan base meme with “It’s Patterson” for a decade.

It’s Pete-erson!

I REALLY hope they leaked the Kleineman rumors just to make us feel better about Leavitt.

First LittreLL is a dumbass. Leaving them behind is the best way to get rid of your worst coaches.

Second, if we end up with some ndsu guy, former or current, GT should be escorted from the building immediately.

This was the hiccup, but I was told the OC...I’d it was the whole staff then Gene pivoted that day. Was that Tuesday? Has that rascal been negotiating with someone else, got their contract approved yesterday and then let LittreLL know last night?

Now this timeline I could believe. Reserving judgement on ADGT until we hear an actual announcement, but the man still seems competent IMO.

If this did fall apart because of the staff issue....seems foolish. Hire a HC, and let him hire his team.
If it was over a low OU buyout....I'm 100% okay with that. Especially since LR could be gone to the NFL in a month, and we could be double-screwed.

It DOES amaze me that we're the only P5 program with an AD who's known for a year+ that we were going to have an opening....and yet we're now the only P5 program still looking. That feels bad.

I'm not sure the worries about Norvell or Leavitt are much more significant than the worries about LittreLL.

But Klieman would be a big concern on several fronts; never mind the total lack of enthusiasm he'd inject into the program and fans in the seats. I'm not sure he'd bring more energy than a Sean Snyder hire.

Only problem from my perspective would be if GT went out and rushed to hire that North Dakota guy just cause he was pissed at LittreLL for overplaying his hand. It sounds like at least LittreLL thought they were still negotiating up until late last night.

The speed with which this crap is coming out about LittreLL seems to be his camp leaking/covering his ass.  I don't think broadcasting to his players/recruits that he was on the verge of leaving is beneficial to his North Texas program.  I think its an effort to pretend like he turned us down and not the other way around to help his own image.

None of this is to say that we are going to make a better hire.

I don’t know if there’s a printed quote about it, but ADGT apparently has told several reporters off the record that he not go to Kleinman or Bohls because their skills wouldn’t translate from FCS. That would haunt Gene Taylor for the next few years at every press conference and media interaction.

It was reported on this blog that Taylor said that, but it was also reported the LittreLL was a done deal... so there's that.

Small nit to pick that has more to do with KSO than here but message board posts are not reports, they are message board posts. That's some big J for everyone.

This 100%. Gene could have been a dick, but he let Snyder “retire” and Seth save face.

Though if I were a North Texas fan I wouldn’t be too excited about a guy who was going to leave the cupboard bare.
