Is Weber out a KSU?
- Thread starter CyCloned
- Start date
If GMac turned down Ohio State, I wonder if he's there for the long haul.
Iowa is winning enough and there's still a McCafe on the way in a few years....
Yeah...I suppose he could be targeting a specific job or two...but that only works if they are targeting him. In the meantime...things can go cold and neither one of those schools would hire him. That would be a big gamble to take (turning down KSU...who knows if they would be interested though).
Two conference titles and an Elite 8 in a decade at K-State. I know he wasn't great the last 3 years but going to be very tough to replace that.
I wouldn't wish that job on my worst enemy.
Jim Crews did OK I guess. Not saying its a good job, just one that will be open.
So, since Weber resigned instead of being fired, does he get a payout? I would imagine he has some kind of deal like I will resign so the AD doesn't look like a bad guy, but I want my money.
K-State's announcement said Weber's contract would be honored: $500,000.

Weber Resigns as Men’s Basketball Head Coach - Kansas State University Athletics
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Head men's basketball coach Bruce Weber announced today (March 10) that he has resigned from his position at Kansas State.
Bill Self finished top 2 in the Big Ten all three seasons at Illinois. They just need to hire the right coach and keep him.
Underwood is not leaving Illinois. That would be like Bill Self leaving Ku for oSu. Or back in the day, Jack Hartman leaving K-State for Stillwater. Brad has a great job with all the resources in Urbana. He's not moving to Manhattan to take on an in-state blue blood. If he does, he's more loyal than smart.
Nijel Pack is about to be the #1 transfer on the market.
IU, Purdue, Butler are all close to home in Indy. I would not be surprised. But Nijel is a thoughtful youngster with a good family. He'll likely wait see. Although, he was obviously distraught after last night's game sitting beside coach Weber listening to his farewell in the postgame presser.
KSU was strong in the "70's or so when Jack Hartman was coach. He was quite successful playing a 3 -2 zone defense and a very slow deliberate offensive (prior to the shot clock).
Bummed to see Weber go. His whiny press conferences, obnoxious voice yelling at his players being heard even on the TV broadcast and his constant meandering out on to the court will be missed.
