Bill Snyder finally retiring

[cyfanatic]

Chris Klieman is getting this job. He'll be good enough to maintain but isn't a guy that can win more than 6 or 7 games consistently, especially if Miles starts to take some of the Kansas JUCOs.

I have no idea on whether or not he can get past "6 or 7" wins each year but he certainly has earned the opportunity! We have no idea how Klienman will approach this opportunity if he lands it (in terms of recruiting style) but I feel this would be a great hire for KSU!

Klieman would first need to understand that he is getting less talent at KSU than he does at NDSU.

This can’t be real life, hahaha.

KSU is on its way to a Ron Prince-esque hire.

Speaking of Ron Prince

Ron Prince: Sources told us yesterday that Ron Prince has landed a head coaching job again.

FCS championship game isn't until January 5th. Can KSU wait that long to hire a coach? Signing day is already only 12 days away and KSU has 9 commits. KU has 1 btw.

KSU really needed Bill to retire, announce anyway, the week before our game. This is looking like a Barta paved road. We will see

Bingo.

Also, right now he's walking into every G5/FCS recruit's living room flashing 6 rings and saying you can come go 56-4 in 4 years and win 3 or 4 national titles.

If Klieman is their guy, then I'm not really worried. I'm also not convinced it is him.

The FCS directly to Power 5 head coach is extremely rare and even FCS directly to FBS head coach is rare these days.

I'm not all that worried about whoever they hire until that person proves they can win there. So far the only guy who has been able to do so just walked out the door.

I've long felt NDSU's Kleiman would be the pick due to his ties with the A.D., his record at NDSU (66-6), his style of play being Snyderesque, and the multi-level cultural fit. But we don't know today just as we didn't with Littrell, who I seriously wondered about when he was the hot list pick due to his style being diametrically opposed in every way to Bill's. We had our Ron Prince moment. Once is enough. #emaw

They might have to hire Sean Snyder just because they don’t have any other options.

Can you point to somewhere on here about your prediction?

It seems convenient and suspicious.

I was thinking the same thing. It could actually come down to that. Has he even been mentioned as getting an interview for it?

To be fair, I think anyone NDSU hires will be successful with that culture.

That was like 2 days ago. Not exactly long.

Correct. It was before today's discussion about Klieman. But it doesn't change my long-held views.

No. Stop. Don't.

Yeah, it’s not like Klieman was the first one that won championships there. He kind of stepped into that success.
