Well the state of Kansas is battling for 10th in the Big 12. Can't get outdone by Ku and Pooka.

And it is not like Kansas State didn't have time to think about this. Snyder was about 150 years old. He was eventually going to retire and/or die and the AD seemed pretty set on not hiring from within. When is the last time that an outside new coach was hired and kept an entire staff in place?

The very most an AD can do is ask if the new coach would speak to the current staff to see if any would be a fit. But that's it.

I understand the fans blowing hot air here but best to wait to see how it plays out. I'm confident our AD will make the right choice. I was not a fan of the NTexas dude, as already stated, so as a K-State guy, I'm good presently.

KSU has been nothing except 27 years of Bill. History is against you.

Instead of poo pooing people here, explain who you want and the rumors in the Little Apple then.
Leavitt? Klieman?

Littrell also wanted a buyout exemption for OU. He will have lots of choices. This wasn’t a good fit.

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

Stepping into success is one thing maintaining it another, it seems to me he has done a good job of doing that.
