Amazing!

Ron Prince could hire 2 current/future head coaches but our admin could not even hire one under the age of 70 when the time came.

I guess I undervalued Ron's original staff when he announced it.  And overvalued Gill's staff at KU.

I think I have to do some soul-searching about my bias in favor of "established" coaches.

That original staff with Raheem and Franklin could have competed in the Big XII. 

The problem was Ron Prince couldn't maintain it just as Snyder can't retain highly qualified assistants because of compensation and working conditions and whatever the hell else contributes to his inability to create a viable working atmosphere for talented assistants.

At some point, somebody at K-State in authoritative position might want to recognize and address this repeating trend.  Because, well, it seems to be a repeating trend…

Them being head coaches alone doesn't make them good.  Raheem is doing alright after a tough first season. I'm not sold on Franklin though.  We'll see, I guess

One of the main problems with Ron is the same problem that Bill has/had.  When they started imposing ridiculous demands, any coach worth their salt told them to get mumped and moved on to greener more reasonable pastures.

Snyds is gonna have to strike it lucky with some young up and comers that don't know better if he's going to repeat the greatness that we once had when we had an entire staff of guys who were worth keeping.  Even that, I'm afraid, will be tough as I think his reputation precedes him in coaching circles, and there are just better jobs out there to be had.

The other possible scenario is that we bring in a guy who is willing to try to handle it... either a new (to Snyder) coach like Koenning or a rehire like Levitt.  But even then that's just one guy when we need more of an energy injection into our program that that.  Ah well.

Slowly becoming a true blue  :bball: and loving it.
