With our post season games, this was lost in the shuffle. KSU hired a coach.

Crud. KState is probably our most comparable school in the conference in terms of school makeup, fanbase, and financial resources and this is a good hire.

I like when KState is decent/good with a respectable coach. The past couple of seasons was just sad to watch.

I don't hate them like I do Iowa, who I hope never wins another game.

I also agree this was a good hire. Only time will tell if the new coach is on the same level as T.J. Otzelberger.

I'm sure their lovely fans will tell us he's already better than Otz.

Casey is a fantastic offensive coach. Leaves a bit to be desired on the other end.

He'll do fine there

Depends on a lot on his staff. A lot of Prohm vibes IMO. Never been out of the southeast.

Well, he is 5 years older (53 vs 48 for Otz), so even if he pans out, he probably only has a 15 years max run. Otz already has 5 years in and can go another 20.

This day and age Mid Major coaches might do well when they go up a level. Don't really need to be recruiters if you have a large NIL fund. Pay players and scheme.

Perfect type of guy for KSU to hire. Seems like the type that they could keep ahold of if he's successful.
