How long does the post Klieman honeymoon last?

[WhoRepsTheLurker]

Why so negative? Oh, that's right ...

Easy depending on the situation

1.) If things go smoothly, Klieman is a great ambassador for NDSU going forward, does not cause a distraction to the team and we win another National Championship, I’ll never stop the honeymoon phase.

2.) If we lay a dud and blow a perfect season, I’ll probably forever have some resentment for the distraction it caused.

Thing that scares me now vs 2013 is that we have a real opponent in the semifinals

Good intentions never go unpunished. CK is always going to be a class act. Circumstances can always mess with outcomes.

If we lose I doubt that it will be because the team was distracted. I would be willing to bet that it is the fans that are distracted. No doubt among some Coach K will be the convenient scapegoat.

Everyone is praising Coach Klieman and NDSU on how well this has been handled versus Craig Bohl leaving. But when does that happy feeling start to fade? NDSU struggles and wins this weekend, does he get flack for being in Kansas 2 days? What if they lose? How is he viewed then?

How about when it comes out which coaches are going / who is staying? What conflict does that create? And lastly, what if some recruits or current players decide to leave?

If they can pull this off, great and more power to them. But whether its a banking, legal, accounting, etc I don't care what type of business relationship you choose, conflicts always come about if a person that is leaving sticks around to long.

No conflict here on any of your made up talking points.

Some believe an employee can't leave an employer and do double duty with integrity, keep a staff intact to do their job etc. We have some strong senior leadership. We know we have integrity in Gene, Matt and CK. Let it unfold. We are good.

Well said. Thank you.

Gotta believe that CK knows the best, first impression he can make on his new school and fan base is to win one last title.

Nope. Everything is sunshine and rainbows.

seems like most post honeymoon phases now end in one party being resentful of the other, which causes hate and you don’t feel the love anyone until the new hot piece comes into your life...
