Re: It’s a Done Deal
[QUOTE=gizmo;1320474]This is strictly my opinion with few facts to base it upon. It appears that CK’s hiring was at least semi-controversial at KSU. The FCS label bothered a lot of boosters. Some KSU folks did not want to be outdone by Kansas’s hiring Les Miles. There is a good possibility that CK got over the hump by agreeing to bring a limited number of assistants with him and keep some core KSU staff in place. Bill Snyder’s fingerprints are all over this deal.[/QUOTE]
This is not accurate according to Gene Taylor. Interview is at kstatesports.com
BS: As we get into the details over the next few days, were there any stipulations put on Coach Klieman or any of the candidates for that matter about the current coaching staff retention?
GT: No there's not. As you go through this process, we have some really great assistants. All we told every candidate is look, we have some great staff. We encourage you to interview as many or all of them, whatever you feel your needs are, because obviously they have coaches they're familiar with and coaches that they've coached with or people they've worked with that are maybe at other institutions. But we never want to say you have to hire somebody, that puts that coach in a bad position and puts the assistants in a bad position if you think about it because they only want to work if they're wanted too. We did tell them here are our staff that we think would be great additions if you wanted to keep them but that's up to you as the head coach. There was never a stipulation on any, whether it was Coach Klieman or any of our candidates, and there were never any real financial issues. They knew exactly what the contract was going to be and those that were interested knew what our parameters were. People take jobs and don't get jobs for a lot of different reasons.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
