official: WELCOME CHRIS KLIEMAN -KANSAS STATE HEAD FOOTBALL COACH

[michigancat]

Oh yeah. I'm just saying he has to look around no matter how much he loves CK. He can still sell him as Saban, just say something like "we spoke to a ton of amazing candidates but they just didn't compare to CK". IMO that looks better for Gene than just trotting him out there the day after Bill has his weird personal band concert.

yup, honestly these AD's are all so stupid. if i were an AD, i would be posting on forums like this all the time, i'd have my own blog with brief daily updates, and i'd demand that my top coaches - football and men's basketball - interact with fans on a weekly basis. i'd increase media availability, i'd open portions of practices to the fanbase, and i'd tape my email address and number to every bathroom stall on campus.

i don't know when or why, but at some point along the way athletic departments turned into mini versions of the pentagon; where everything is such a big fuckin secret. at the end of the day, this is sports. sports are supposed to be fun. you enhance the experience of your fanbase and paying customers by making them feel like they are a part of the team; not by walling them off and cutting their access to coaches, players and info.

so many good, qualified, decent coaches get fired on a yearly basis because fans look at a poor win-loss record, assume incompetence, and then demand the coach be run out of town. why do they do this? because they have no other way to evaluate!

but if the coach had a chance to prove his competence, to show you the growth/development that takes place behind closed doors, to share true meaningful insights beyond "we're takin things one day at a time," then i think you would see more coaches last longer than 3.5 years - which is the current norm in sports today.

gene is allowing forums like this one and KSO to control his messaging, and almost all of it is negative. how could it not be? we have nothing else to go off but what we see, and what we see is a whole bunch of meh.

I honestly thought this was OK!

If I was a FCS player who was below a 1 star and didn’t get a single D1 offer and then my former coach got a 7x pay increase to coach a shitty D1 team I would be congratulating him too.

[lakesbison]

 

All of them had FBS offers ya dolt

Currently on NDSU team there are starters that turned down Missouri, Purdue,  Minnesota, Iowa, Rutgers

pst. we even have a 2019 Commit that turned down Kansas State! 

[wetwillie]

I mean Jabril Cox would have started for us the last 2 years and he’s from KC

[lakesbison]

Very True Willie.

LT Dillon Radunz is 6 7 310 agile beast had a Missouri Offer,  why didn't K State get him?

San Diego Chargers LB Kyle Emanuel is from Nebraska.

NDSU had a 4 year starting LB Matt Plank from Overland KS? 


K state will do just fine with this hire, now stay away from NDSU recruiting hotbed!

It's been said before, but for real the part I dont understand is why all these ndsu fans wanted him gone so badly

[mocat]

It's like if a real school hires their coach it means more to them than an fcs natty

Good list, KSU win should be at the top

Scientific poll showed that game is no longer the worst thing to happen in Snyder 2.0.

Trim.  makes sense since NDSU beat Iowa State 34-14 lately as well...  deductive reasoning

Actually, in regards to Trim I believe it was 3-16. But someone can correct me if I'm misremembering.

Whatever buttmuncher. Youre lucky to have us back. Could you imagine if some Memphis or mean green fans joined? Disgusting.  Then you'd have to go through that awkward feeling each other out stage. Aint nobody got time for that

please do not quote any more of my posts at 5 o clock in the morning you weird farmer probably person

[meow meow]

Memphis, North Texas or whoever else's fans wouldn't be here, because they wouldn't be thrilled that someone else took their coach.  For North Dakota fans it's like a lifetime achievement award.

It kind of feels like the Oscar hire a few years back.  They were all over this board.
