Having a degree at ksu doesnt make him a grape.  This dude is a hawk through and through.  the guy is in heaven right now.  This IS his dream job and part of why he turned down ksu 2 years ago.

UPKS had no interest in Zenger to replace Krause.    From what I've heard the search committee was just a formality, UPKS wanted an SEC guy.



Zenger is a great guy, no question. But he was absolutely not a candidate here, for many reasons. There was/is a general sense that his experience level is a question mark, having only worked in a D-1 FB AthDept for a few years while at K-State. His relationship with Wefald, Krause and Epps also was an issue, as he has been quoted as saying those three (along with BSnyder) are among his professional mentors and role models. And there was a definite movement to hire a person that did not have any pre-existing loyalties or connections that could come in unbiased and clean cac up. This was going to be a big job, and a relatively inexperienced administrator with ties to the crew that screwed things up to begin with was not an ideal "fit".

I have known Sheahon for about 31 years and I know for a fact he hates the cac out of KU.  He also likes the cac out of K-State.  He told me he is going to completely destroy them (even moreso than they've already been destroyed) from the inside. 


 :surprised:

Is he a Trajan Horse?

SeeSaw is going to be just like the GM Charlie in Major League.  He will be at KSU v. ku games, cheering like crazy for KSU and Biscuits will tell him to shut up and he will stick his tongue out at her and give her the Bronx Cheer.

Mentors:   3 or 4 major KSU figures.

Major Job Experience prior to becoming an Athletic Direcor: Multiple Positions in KSU administration and KSU football coaching staff.

Education:  Undergraduate and Post Graduate Degree's from K-State.  

Tardville Defines that as . . ."Not a Grape".

His name is pronounced like "Cheyenne".  I've known his family for 25 years and this is how they've always pronounced it.

Reputable source of 25 years.

uh oh . . . Jayhoax aka Captain Shawnee aka KU Football Racing Helmet Boy aka KC BMW Club Co-Social Chair aka the Office Mover aka Perpetual Attic Remodeler aka Casper the Ghost whenever things are cac at ku calls out Captain Crap:

Quote
You mean those guys (sans Snyder) who weren't going to be there when the new AD arrived?  Also, that is a lot to consider about a guy who wasn't considered.  A K-State source I know and trust on all things K-State says your Captain is full of Crap.

From multiple sources I know and trust, the search committee at K-State, made up of long time K-State administrators and sycophants may have been interested and some even pushing Zenger, but UPKS dug in pretty quick and nipped that in the bud.   He didn't want anyone with ties to the former clusterf_ck.

Agree, there were probably some people that had ties to the old regime that liked Zenger and wanted him to be considered. And if this KU guy's source is in that group, then I could see how it could be interpreted that KSU admin folks were interested. But realistically, he did not have a chance. Which is why no one from the search committee viewed him as a candidate.

What KU fan has to realize is that there was NO WAY anyone even remotely connected to Wefald, Krause or Epps was going to get this job. Even though they weren't here any more. The committee and UPKS rightly believed an outside viewpoint was needed to clean up the mess.

Well I need to look at the positives, at least he hired a football coach who beat North Dakota State Univ. this year.

The "he wasn't our first choice" part may be the biggest understatement ever made on phog.net.

So Beems, on the scale of "home run" to "struck out looking", where would this hire rank?
