blackcats, would you say that klinemann will be more of a figurehead type coach with sean running the show behind the scenes? or more of a puppet/puppetmaster type relationship?

One of the specific things I heard when Gene was hired was that he wouldn’t hire either of the coaches he hired at North Dakota State. In his words, they were very good fits in Nort h Dakota but he didn’t see their abilities translating to a place like Kansas State. We’ve seen Gen’s judgment proven correct at Wyoming. Unless something has changed drastically, we can shut this thread down. I surprisingly trust Gene to find the right fit for KState.

i think i'm reading between the lines correctly here. welcome back to kstate, kstateuhfbc ss!

Telling his kids about the importance of focusing on Colgate. That’s our guy. #FAMILY #strongteeth

This is about the worst I can imagine us doing. I'd probably prefer les miles and I don't want him at all

AD Taylor has to know that everyone looking would see this as such the safe and easy hire, to appear he made no effort on part of the school. Since we already know that 7-8 people are being vetted, someone would have to share with the media that they were approached, but not interested in the position for it to go to Klieman.

CK would be the KSU (rich man’s) version of Beatty. Cost saving approach while we wait for a better candidate.

Has Mangino done a preemptive turn down?

of course he said that. what else was he going to do, tell the truth?
what has gene taylor done at kansas state that has shown you he has the propensity to do anything beyond nothing at all? hiring klieman would allow him to do nothing at all.

Taylor fired Hill and replace him with a competent coach. He supported Weber when dudes wanted him canned. And he canned

. I'd say he's done well. And that's from Arkansas.

welcome home, chris

After having a YEAR, or more, to prepare for this, if ADGT lands back at CK.....that'd be shockingly disappointing.

That sort of hire would inject the sort of excitement and optimism that a Sean Snyder hiring would do. Minus the recruiting network in TX / OK.

I really don’t like how much NDSU fans seem to want us to take him.

The only mistake you fruit loops made was not making this move 5 years ago after you got your asses kicked.

Being a carbon copy of NDSU is the best thing to ever happen to you since we're better at basically everything than you are with less resources

If this goes through,your program will get the injection it badly needs since youve been irrelevant for all but one year.

What a home run hire by the mustang. Loved the dubbed nickname for mean gene! Thats one thing youve done right

lakesbison · « **Reply #44 on:** December 07, 2018, 10:59:46 AM »

^^^ Lollypop gets it.

NDSU is better than K State, so you got our AD, our womens track coach and now Klieman.

you should be thankful. PudHattan

Rolls off the tongue. Fargo is getting a double lane roundabout like Manhattan has by the Walgreens. This is getting eerie how much we're similar and i dont like it.

If we hire this guy, with the NDSU fans stop being mean to us?

Taytay hiring this nobody is more embarrassing than when jack waters lost to ndsu.

I watched a total of maybe 8 quarters this year, I think I'm done with cat football for good.
