I watched this and looked at his wikipedia page and sure I'm in. Everyone looks amazing compared to oscar.  He's making $700,000. Quadruple that and let's go.  #CraigSmith4KSU

I want him so bad

The Flush. He did a great job coahing us up in 18 and 19 (and I'm only half joking).

keeping weber and rooting for him to fail sounds like more fun than any of these options, tbh.

At some point, everything needs to culminate into a climax where Weber is crying at a press conference a day or 2 after he gets shitcanned. Otherwise, the joy found in rooting for him to lose will be fleeting.

I don't like any of our options. Keeping oscar rough ridin' sucks, the vast majority of the coaches mentioned in this thread rough ridin' suck, and our AD won't have the nuts to go after the ones that don't. Existence is suffering. Especially if you're a K-State basketball fan.

My favorite talking point is Kelvin Sampson's age, like oscar isn't 64 years old or something.

I would do horrible things if it meant we could have Kelvin Sampson as our basketball coach. Anybody hedging about him is rough ridin' stupid. We would be lucky to have him, but our AD doesn't have the balls to go out and get a guy like him. Prove me wrong, Gene! You rough ridin' hill person!

whoever can recruit and motivate players and then hold their people accountable to making those players stay motivated and whatnot. there are no Xs and Os in basketball. coach K knows nothing about basketball plays and strategies that coach oscar doesn't know.

The thing is, you can't get rid of oscar and then take a gamble on some unknown commodity who very well might (and probably will) be less successful. You'd need a slam dunk. Not a lot of options there.

This is why Illini fans were so sad for us. It's so hard to fire oscar Weber. And having him as your coach just isn't very much fun.

I would greatly prefer an unknown commodity at this point

I agree with most of what's in this thread already, but I think it's important to note that oscar's replacement will not be oscar, so therefore it will be an improvement.  I say that not because I predict more wins and fewer losses, but because of the hatred that I have for oscar and the absence of that hatred for whomever his replacement will be.  I should also note that I don't plan to watch any games (I haven't in years) unless we get good.  So, it's entirely possible I never watch a game let by our next coach, unless KK takes me to the game and lets me sit in the second row at half court again (only game i have been to in 5 years).  I suppose I am most concerned about getting rid of oscar, and who our coach is 2 coaches from now.

This is an excellent post. Firing oscar is life. The rest is just details.

does seth LittreLL know anything about basketball?

I heard fort Hays's coach wasn't even in the building. Just get good players and let them play

With the mainstreaming of video conference technology, there has never been a better time to hire an incarcerated coach.

Time for a virtual coach?

Coach K doesn't even know how to draw plays on a rough ridin' whiteboard!  There are millions of high school coaches that know more x's and o's than coach k!

Have you seen how far hologram technology has come the last few years? 

[chum1]

Instead of spending millions on salary each year, we could just purchase a robot coach. Same robot could do double duty and also coach football.

That Tupac hologram would probably recruit his ass off.
