Snyder making $3m a year. Can you get to a top P5 program through UNT or do you need to go to a lower P5 first?

K State is one of those weird schools where they cherish both football and basketball. If SL wants to go to a low level P5 he would be best going to a basketball school where there will be no pressure to win big. A basketball school where getting to 8 wins a for a couple years would be big like Kansas or Iowa State. If he does go to K State and replace their legendary coach, all eyes will be on him. Big risk in my opinion.

While probably true, you know Seth doesn't think like this. He's not scared of a challenge

Maybe not, but our beat writer and their boars or beat writer are singing the same tune. That can't be orchestrated I would think. That would me lead me to think something must be going on.

Biggest concern is keeping recruits if Litrell leaves.

Wren just FLAMED Vito into ether.

So everyone who covers Kansas State for a living is making stuff up? I doubt it...

like Brett Vito said, Seth is KSU’s top target. Doesn’t mean it’s a done deal.

I agree with you but this is also where he needs to calm down and think about his end goal. If he intends on getting to OU, he would be better off staying put for a year to see what happens with Lincoln Riley. Even if it's not necessarily OU, he can get to a big P5 with a big season at UNT next year similar to Tom Herman's trajectory. Going to K State restarts his entire process unless he immediately has a 7+ win season.

I mean, what else is Wren supposed to say? That the ship is sinking and they're throwing chairs out of the windows?

He didn’t have to say anything 

[BillySee58]

Do people not know how reporting works? Coaches don’t have to leave for it to be true that a school sees them as a candidate.

What ship is sinking. We have facilities and money in place. The show goes on whoever is at the helm. This ain't rv Athletic department.

But ignoring fans could also be construed as admittance.

He didn’t say anything.

Lets see how it plays out.

You would think with the general hysteria on the board and on twitter that everything is going to hell. Losing SL would hurt a lot, but its just the reality of our station in life.

The reality is that our successful coaches will be poached from now until forever. Even if we match any offer (which we shouldn't), there's no substitute for the limelight of the big time.

Hope I don't have to worry about it this year, but I'm mentally prepared if it does happen.

There are more reports besides a KState Message board?

Expand  

No. The same message board has kept perpetuating the rumor. And Vito lazily just picks up random stories and regurgitates it to drive his twitter and clicks. Seth may very well end up a candidate. He may very well get offered and take the job. But I highly doubt he's K-State's sole focus. Venerables is a grad. Jim Leavitt is a grad and once was there as the heir apparent. Neal Brown is and Satterfield are both still on the market. This is a message board creating "premium" content to get subscribers. Put it this way, you think Wren and Smatresk would call in Brune or Vito and say here's what we are going to do? No. The circle of people in the know on these are incredibly small. All year we heard if Kliff is fired, Seth is the guy at Tech. People on here said their baby's momma's daddy was best friends with someone on the Tech regents who said Seth's the guy. Turns out, that wasn't true. I agree with WB, chill out!!

Best news for North Texas if Littrell is offered & leaves is I don’t think Wren Baker will disappoint us with SL’s replacement.

I’m worried about keeping the 2019 verbals

So “The Wren” is calming the waters through Twitter.  Did RV even know there was such a thing as Twitter?

Agree. I honestly feel UNT has went from the outhouse to the penthouse. It's almost uncomprehendable to say this, but I truly feel this is the best job in CUSA. I wish someone would anonymously survey CUSA coaches.

I'm sure RV knew as much about Twitter as Dan McCarney did.

[Travis]

Tech came out on Monday much earlier saying that SL was never on their top list. This was one we never had to sweat. 

[Rudy]

Although I would hate to lose Seth, and prefer to keep the continuity we've begun, I'm confident in our administration and donors to make losing Seth a fight, and to find a replacement that will continue our upward trend.
