Coaching Staff/Fire LHC Bill Snyder Thread

[Stevesie60]

1. Leavitt might be keeping his mouth shut because we've contacted him, but he's in the mix for a HC position at SDSU or Stanford or something, and doesn't want to tell the people of Kansas State.

2. We need Cooper3 to post over here. He's one of us.

3. Dammit Rams, RIGHT some letters? I was really liking you, and then you pull some Huskerpride BBSing skills.

4. I'm with Dlew in terms of   or   with no in between. The only reaction we can be sure of is and  

[RTB]

I hate that the apparent decision is we either get levitt or continue with no changes.    So if Jim chooses the 49'ers and goes with Harbaugh, we are mumped.  No bowl, no nothing. 

mumped.

omg, this. I haven't been able to understand why this seems to be the only option?? I know we can't have nice things, but at least get a "younger unproven possible future bob stoops" type coach or something. . .

Snyder is so old he forgot how he first built up our program. .

[Rams]

3. Dammit Rams, RIGHT some letters? I was really liking you, and then you pull some Huskerpride BBSing skills.

Oh eff. 

I would skewer somebody if I saw this.  Holy crap it's been a long weekend.  I've been cooped up my house for 4 rough ridin' days with a cold, a 10 month old with a cold, a wife with cabin fever and a 2 and half year old that's been inside so long I'm pretty sure he's started to hallucinate and plot to kill us all.

I hate myself.

Alright, we're cool.

Considering Harbaugh is a rookie NFL HC, I would be surprised if he didn't surround himself with proven NFL assistants.  I'd be more worried about some school giving Leavit an HC spot.  If that was the case, what was the deal with his comment about "everyhing being settled soon enough?"  (Not an exact quote.)  Seems like he could easily say, publically, no the our DC spot even if. He was going to take a job elsewhere.

2. We need Cooper3 to post over here. He's one of us.

I have a very strong hunch that they already are.

[Dr Rick Daris]

Other folks may have said this already (I'm too lazy to look it up), but I'm starting to feel like Leavitt is the perfect hire for Currie in one or two years.

The shirt tucks love him because he was "Snyder's Choice".  From an actual 'resume' perspective, it's a defensible hire.  The guy wins.  He goes to bowl games.  He built a program from nothing, literally, to being an annual contender in an AQ conference.  He was once on the radar for the Alabama job.  And there's always the fallback cop out which is, "Well, it was the best we were going to do at Kansas State with our budget."

Money will keep coming in, buildings will keep being built, and JC's resume will keep growing in the areas that matter for SEC schools: money and buildings.  They can hire whoever they want because they have the money to do so; he doesn't have to have a great eye for coaches.  He just needs to keep the money coming in to hire the best and retain the successful coaches.  He extended Frank Martin.  He extended Brad Hill.  He promoted an obvious HCIW at KSU.  He got a practice facility built.  He worked and got a stadium renovated.

Honestly, I'm almost certain if JL is hired, he'll be the HC.  I don't think Currie is going to care.  It will be such a massively popular hire right now that if he even gets this defense remotely average in the next two years, all Currie has to do is sit back and count the donations because shirt tucks will be shoveling it at him.

Brilliant move by Snyder.  One last big eff you.  He knows how it works here, and he knows Currie is upwardly mobile.  Don't rock the boat, and the money will come, and you can get the Hell out of here.

Damn.  Game.  Set.  Match.  Old Balls.

yeah. i've maybe mentioned this once or twice...

leavitt would come. our defense would get better, because getting worse would be impossible. all the powertards would hail him as the next ksu savior. he'd be the next head coach cause he'd be the easy hire for currie who in all likelihood wants to rock the boat as little as possible and get the shazbot! out of manhattan. we'd then be stuck w/ leavitt and a 5-7 football team every year. do not want. go broke or go home. eff leavitt.

Rob said on GPC that he called Levitt and his agent this morning and left both messages.  Said that he did the same thing last year when the Levitt rumor came up and both called him right back to deny.  As of 6PM tonight, Rob said he still hasn't heard back.  Said that things are much quieter than last time the rumor went around.

   <----- sarcastic

i've heard other similar stuff about people acting and saying different things this time around. leavitt would be a Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) not to jump at the chance. tards would be happy and he'd be making 2per in a couple of years. eff me i think it might happen.

You would prefer the status quo?

I don't want leavitt as the next head coach.

leavitt will come back here because he is not a total idiot and knows that if he does he will improve the defense and the tards and shirt tucks and old money will want him as coach and currie will hire him because the tards and shirt tucks and old money will want him as coach. if you are currie, you rock the boat as little as possible and then get the eff out while the getting is good. this is going to happen. how depresssing.

Keep telling yourself that. There are things Currie is great at and there are a ton of things he has no experience at, like hiring head coaches. First of all, Currie knows better to piss of Snyder and his meaningful supporters. Also, by allowing Snyder to pick his successor, he does not take the blame if it dowen't work out. Currie is too smart to go in against the legend that is Coach Snyder. Let's think about this from Currie's perspective: (1) allow a legendary future hall of fame coach with ties to the industry and knows K-State better than any other person select our next coach, or (2) allow a young 2nd year AD who has never hired a head coach hire K-State's next football coach. Currie is not that arrogant despite what people want to think. The next coach will have Snyder ties.

just looking at snyder's current staff should tell anyone w/ half a brain all they need to know about snyder's ability to hire for a specific job. although it should be easier if the position he is hiring for does not have to actually work for him. either way, the safe bet for all parties is for leavitt to come on board and there you go for the next ten years. hate this.

leavitt would be an idiot to not come. nobody is going to love that batcac crazy acting average football coach more than your average ksu fan will.

[mcmwcat]

Did anyone else see the article on the front page of the Scout site?

Snyder is looking to go back to offering late.  He isn't comfortable with early offers.

This is going just like I thought it would.  This is fantastic.  

Soccer will be the only sport played in BSFS within the next 3 yrs.

[Rams]

I'd rather Currie go out and find the next 1989 version of Snyder.   But for now I'm just content that the 2011 model seems to be inching towards the door.

[felix rex]

Guys, I think the pieces are really falling into place for Currie to hire Leavitt. I'm seeing/hearing a lot things pointing in that direction. FYI.

[OK_Cat]

I've hated the hiring of OB since the beginning, so this kind of makes me feel validated.

Overall, this is great news.  Thanks for sharing, Brookside.
1 - The Tulsa thing is mildly distressing but we'll see how adept at hiring Currie is.
2 -  This is mutually beneficial, imo.  Who really wants to see anybody fired - - no matter how justified?
3 -  I like Mo.
4 -  Yup, Leavitt could be a hot commodity.  Currie and Snyder should act fast.
5 -   I'm damn glad to hear the HC and AD work well together!
6 -   Good to hear about Sean...Maybe this helps us on the salary/budget front, too.

2. Cosh may be reassigned and it's not a lock that he is going to be fired
3. Mo wanted to retire and stayed an extra year
4. The Leavitt as Head Coach is very likely, because the new A.D. at KU would love to have him (he was an Assistant at South Florida) if the Gill experiment goes horribly wrong
5. Snyder and Currie are tight and have a plan
6. Sean Snyder may join the staff, but if so, as a special teams coach, not tigh ends

Don't kill the messenger, these are just the tidbits I got from a coach (presently employed in Olathe)

Someone mentioned on our website that there was supposed to be some announcement yesterday, but it was canceled.

The person then insinuated that it could have been travel related in the cancellation.

He's going to take a job.  I think it's safe to say that it's probably 49ers or us right now.
