Is Weber out a KSU?

[CascadeClone]

Is KState a better job than Wake Forest to lure Steve Forbes? He kind of knows the area?

Now that he got the flat tax done here in Iowa, is he done pushing that?

 

[ISpyCy]

He's out of gas.

Forbes has a bit of a checkered past as an assistant at Wichita State.

Ben Jacobson would be a good hire for KSU.

Ben Jacobson would be a good hire for KSU.

Much like Captain Kirk (and hopefully soon Matt Campbell), I think jacobson’s windoe to leave might have closed.

That being said, I hope he doesn’t get it because Kyle green would probably be high on uni’s list.

Weber is making something like $2.5M/year with a buyout that drops to $1M after this year.

Underwood just signed a 6-year extension in September with his first four years guaranteed at $4.1M/year. He's also ranked 16 and sitting atop the Big 10 with access to Chicago for recruits and better conference revenue.

I don't see K-State making that financial commitment unless some donors are footing the bill. Also, I get Underwood's ties to KState, but unless those ties run deep, that would be a questionable career move for him.

 

[Halincandenza]

Yeah, it won't be Underwood.

Hadn't realized this until checking - Weber has been at KSU longer than any coach since Jack Hartman (1970-1986). (I'm not surprised, just hadn't thought about it).

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Eh, it was low hanging fruit, and, as someone who has never been wrong (frantically deletes posting history) I couldn’t resist.

Weber’s career is wild. I don’t think anyone really thinks of him as one of the greats (I sure don’t), yet he has twice won regular season championships in the Missouri Valley, Big 10, AND Big 12, which is no small thing, even if Self maybe deserves some of the credit for the Big 10 ones (and maybe Frank Martin for the first Big 12). And after the last Big 12 championship… he has finished 10th, 9th, and 9th in the conference. Will be fascinating to see how KSU handles it.

He is what Eustachy would've been in Ames, had alcoholism not prevailed

Underwood turned down the K-State job when Martin left. It certainly is not a better job now.

Would KState look at Lamont Evans?

I Hope that Weber GETS FIRED....I am getting tired of Losing to KSU & Bruce F"ing Weber!!!

Underwood isn't taking a pay cut to go to a lesser program. No chance he leaves Illinois to go to KSU.

KSU should hire Kim English, but they'll go get some retread.

Which is what @coolerifyoudid intimated in the post you quoted.

We can take care of the mental gymnastics, beaker. Underwood NOT to KSU. Carry on.

KSU should hire Modern English, stop the world, and melt with them.

After Dixon went to TCU, Ill never say no chance.

But do we know what TCU paid? Also, TCU is in the metroplex, KSU is in sheep a ranch.

I think the window opened a couple inches wider with his performance this season. But I think this is his last chance to leave while still in his prime.

No idea. I just recall thinking there is no way Dixon leaves Pitt for TCU, and then he did.
