J Rake, should we go after that dork from UAB now?
honestly, probably not. i think he's a better
coach than LittreLL and a more proven/qualified candidate on the coaching side of things, but i doubt he'd be a great recruiter at k-state. as a result, he'd probably be a guy that tops out at 8-4 if everything goes right.
don't get me wrong, 8-4 is still better than the 5-7, 6-6, 4-8 meteor you somehow just avoided, but it's not the upside this fan base wants after snyder spent the better part of the last 30 years raising the program's profile.
i don't understand the harm in swinging for the fences. this 'search' has been painful to watch. having extreme tunnel vision on a loser candidate was bad enough, but then to witness the fan base drool over LittreLL and his hugely mediocre results was pretty ... sad.
as i've said before, i offer to double babers' salary and go from there.
