We will be playing the Bowl game with an interim head coach, most likely Mainord (who hopefully doesn’t get poached by SL). They should already be announcing this coaching change (if not announced it yesterday) so our guys can start off their week on Monday with a fresh start after hearing their Bowl announcement tomorrow. No one wants to get the Bowl announcement, get pumped for it, then get this news. K-State can very well take their time since they don’t have a Bowl game, but time is of the essence here for us. IMHO. 

 

If the entire offense staff leaves then Quinn can call the plays.

We could end up in a situation like SMU was last year in the Frisco Bowl--with a GA calling plays--and getting destroyed.

Just now seeing this news about K-State and Seth.  To say I'm not surprised, would be a huge understatement.  I've felt the writing has been on the wall since we beat Arkansas and had our hot start.  As many have said, his leaving will have a domino effect.  Most notably on the coaching staff and incoming recruits.  If this does indeed happen, I'm afraid Old Denton will return in force with pitchforks in hand.

If you don't see the potential there you're blind.  All they need is the right coach and I don't doubt that K State could be a contender within the next five years with Seth at the helm.  My reasoning:

1) When he came here, he took a roster with almost no talent and won five games and took us to a bowl game.  He has consistently demonstrated that he can develop and get the most out of players even if they aren't top tier recruits.  He has also had a keen eye for JUCO transfers.  I don't think we've had any academic or behavior issues with our JUCOs since he's gotten here. The development aspect is particularly important because convincing 17-18 year olds that coming to Lawrence(derp) Manhattan, Kansas will be a fun time is probably pretty difficult.

2) He knows the big 12 well with his history along with the coaches and the personalities. Not much more to say there.

3) Culturally, Bill Snyder is known as a "class act" kind of guy and if I'm not mistaken he, at least on the surface, appears to run a fairly clean program.  We all know that Seth has kept his nose clean here and has no issues getting rid of players that step out of line (see: Taylor Robinson).

4) The Big 12 is all passing all the time. His system would help modernize the wildcats offense into something that can keep up with the top dogs in the conference.

 

I don't like this assessment anymore than anyone else on this board, but the more I look at it, the more I think this is a great platform for Littrell to get on board with.  I would love nothing more for him to stay here and make this his home for the next 20 years but I just don't see that as realistic.  Out of all the head coaching jobs that have come up that he was a fit for this season, I think this is the best fit.

Who do they compete against for talent? Isn’t know for its Juco’s because that is all they can get?

The top recruits will always want Texas or Oklahoma in the big 12.  Everyone else is the also-rans. Outside OK and Texas what other team has made a big noise.  We hear a lot about TCU but they are local.

Old Denton won’t return because of our leadership. Most notably Wren and Smatresk. 

This COULD set back the on field progress a couple of years. Hopefully just one. (Well, hopefully none). The person we hire (if we do have to hire someone) may well be a great recruiter, but keeping the top recruiting class in CUSA getting a new coach two months before signing day would be a challenge.

If Littrell leaves for KSU they were ranked 109’th in national recruiting last I checked.  Wonder how long we would keep our top ranked G5 recruiting class?🤔😥

Gone through four hires in 9 years. It’s not the end of the world and it increases the applicant pool. 

Thankful that we’ve at least reached a point our coaches aren’t getting poached by other G5 teams. 

Edit: yes, I know Boise is a G5 juggernaut.

No offense to SL, but with in state rival kansas making a big splash and getting Les Miles, you would think K State would want to make a bigger splash than SL.  I would think they would want to get a bigger name that has more skins on the wall.  They weren’t good this year and really have to improve recruiting quickly.

SL might not be a bigger splash, but he would be a great hire.

What's more likely

Seth stays here for 5 years and turns us into the g5 darling

Seth goes to Kstate and wins the big 12 in 3 years

 

Elevating us.

People who talk about what K-State could be forget that OU, and Ok State, and Texas, and hell even Iowa State, have strong offensive minds at the helm AND a head start on K-State in momentum.  

K-State has potential, that much is obvious.  The question is if K-State is like North Texas in that the natural advantages (location, improving facilities, more excitement than ever before) make it easy to reach, and stay at, the top of their respective conference.

The guy we had poached played at Boise Capital High school, then Boise State, started coaching there and was OC for the OU win. Plus $1.8 million ain’t chump change

At what point do the G5 schools finally say enough and start fighting back legally?  If UCF can go 2 entire seasons without a loss and still not even sniff the playoff it will NEVER happen.  And we’ll be resigned to watching our good coaches walk out the door to “better opportunities” that are, in fact, really the only way they can get a “shot” at a mythical national championship.

Looking at the number of unique schools who have played in either the BCS championship or the playoffs, you quickly realize that there are really only 10 schools who really, REALLY have a shot.  The rest of the P5 schools are tag alongs who support the system because they get a cut of the money.  Hush money.  

Make no mistake, KSU is a tag along.  They’ll get the same playoff consideration as Baylor and TCU did.  So good luck, coach.  You’re a rung up the ladder but still have no shot at a mythical “championship.”

I say it’s time to burn this system down.

Agree.  

What do we have to lose by trying (with advice from America’s best legal minds)?

Right now we have no fighters to challenge it. Go along to get along?

But, but, but, 20 years ago KSU almost played for a national championship!

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
