cripps' latest gem :lol:

Quote from: cripps, the guy who scours facebook as his A+ source
To answer your question, he was as blindsided as I was. The info I have gotten in the past has been golden. So, things happened, sometimes life happens. I will continue to trust what they tell me and will continue to post as I can as I actually know people on here that like the info. So, with that said, here is to hoping something changes on the D so people will renew there tickets.

The biggest problem out of all of this was only offering Jim the Co-DC job. Why not can Cosh's sorry ass and hand the reigns over to Leavitt? God damnit Snyder. :bang:

BTW, how much is Cosh fleecing the KSU and us on a yearly basis? Additionally - is there anyway we can convince ADJC to make his salary 100% performance based? He will rough ridin' quit after the first month of the season as he will not have enough to buy a case of Top Ramen.
We are K-State and we love to hire SHlTTY coaches.

This.  

If you really intend on bring a guy like Leavitt (plus you have the rumors of Mo moving into admin) you clear as much room as possible to allow Leavitt to build a better staff.  Even if you keep Jo Bob and convince Burns to stay (which would be a good thing IMO) you still allow for Leavitt's major input in two spots.

I mean, this is just rough ridin' ridiculous. If it actually comes out that it's true that Jim turned us down because Bill only offered him the Co-DC spot, I expect a full on meltdown-riot. Like, let's burn this rough rider down. Billboards, flying banners, flipping cars, burning building, whatever. I'll chip in for anything that sounds like it will help, because it has to be made clear that this kind of ineptitude is completely rough ridin' unacceptable. If none of this happens, you might as well shut goEMAW.com down, because we have failed.

Ideas? Let's get this done.

i think the problem is the evaluation process. my guess would be that snyder offered this leavitt guy too early in the process. snyder did not evaluate enough and did not do enough evaluating of the leavitt guy and things and stuff of that nature. i certainly hope that snyder learns from this in the many years to come and maybe cools his jets a little bit and takes a little more time to step back and evaluate some more and then hopefully stuff like this won't happen again.

Dug up this Snyder gem from google

Snyder, who recommended Cosh to Friedgen in late 2005, said: “When coaches ask me about another coach, they finish by asking is there some fault in the individual. When asked the same question about Chris, I was hard-pressed to find one.”

Spoke with Jim Leavitt. Said he had discussions with Snyder, but it was purely hypothetical, in case the NFL gig didn't pan out.

i mean, yeah, we could make a big "FIRE LHC Bill Snyder!!!!!" board, but something like this might be more effective.  Gets people talking.

Purely hypothetical because Snyder likely wouldn't back off the "Co" designation.  

If it would have been, "I'll clear out all of their offices myself, and you can hire you own defensive staff, and I'll play you $500K a year", I suspect the conversation would have gone differently.

Yeah, if he really wanted Leavitt, he could've gotten Leavitt.

This is cause for termination on it's own. Pull the trigger Currie. Pull the rough ridin' trigger!

Your only option to retain your sanity is to pound the 151 every game and numb yourself. At least, this is what I'm gonna do.

Yes, it would be better to throw up your 151 on your couch, unless it would be on a shirt-tuck who has season tickets next to yours.

thank you, Bill.  It looked like you might get Leavitt, but you came through for me.  God bless you.  Tell Cosh that I love him.
