Hopefully he’s gone in three years one way or another so that Venzy can come home after his son graduates? :dunno:

That toot addict still has a son in high school. His kids graduating from college won't magically grant him ambition in his 50's. He's perfectly happy being Bud Foster and John Chavis, I guess some people just aren't comfortable with ultimate responsibility.

if the leading candidates for the job were LittreLL, norvell, klieman, brown, wolford, leavitt, etc., then i will forever believe that gene made the best hire possible by selecting klieman. that doesn't mean i think klieman will succeed. i think it is more unlikely than likely that he will succeed. but keep in mind, i'm defining success by the set of standards that this bipolar, sociopathic fan base has set for the program - which in my view is to win 8 or 9 games every year, never go 6-6 or god forbid sub-.500, seriously compete for the league title every year, and make a CFB playoff run every five years. which simply isn't going to happen.

if i thought the k-state fan base would continue hating klieman into the start of the season, demanding his firing after every narrow victory against an FCS or CUSA school, then i would for sure root for the football team like i never have before (i've never rooted for a k-state sports team). but ya'll will come around. klieman will say "impressive!" things at the press conference, he'll sign a recruit that nobody thought k-state could get, he'll hire a coordinator with a brilliant track record at a directional michigan school, d scott will write a fluffy feature about the star of the spring game ("will this be the next keithen valentine!?!") and it will be Team Klieman all the way.

until he loses the big 12 opener.

to iowa state.

then you'll want him fired immediately, and you'll want him replaced with the hot new south alabama coach (!) who won eight games against a schedule that included georgia state, texas state, arkansas pine bluff, savannah state and wagner. "i think he could be really good guys!"

it's exhausting.

i root for your misery.

In many ways the fans made 100% of it. However, I’m still a bit unsure why it took as long as it did. If we moved as fast as TTU, the panic would have been much less pronounced.

We couldn't move too quickly because Gene had to give a convincing appearance that he was actually considering other candidates.

not sure what the confusion is.   They obviously courted LittreLL for a long time hoping he'd give in to their demands then he told then to eff off.

I am anywhere from 6-9 wins a year as long as we look good doing it.  Sub .500 where we are young or have a bunch of injuries I am OK with, but would argue that 6 wins should be possible.  Sub .500 where our team doesn't appear to have direction and is at an overall talent disadvantage I would have a problem with (AKA this year).  Playoffs?  Lets get real we would piss down our leg in the championship game on the very last play of the game to miss the CFP.  That is just the KSU way and as a long time fan am ready for that KITN.

I’d be fine with the TCU model, like two down seasons squeaking into a bowl game followed by two up seasons knocking on the door to the playoff.
