I say that with the caveat that I'm a country boy at heart and prefer a smaller town atmosphere. My main point was that Columbia would be one of my LAST choices of places to live.Quote:

I only put LSU last because of the sanctions and getting someone who wants to deal with that at a football first school is not going to be easy. Maryland might still be open I?m not sure but they will be trying to get a power 6 coach like Florida. I don?t know if any other coaching jobs are open at the power 6 level that would be a threat to us. I?m glad Louisville got Payne because that might give us a better chance with McMahon, but if UF or Maryland calls him we don?t have much of a chance
I don't have to attest ... A friend of mine in my same platoon had his throat cut while downtown - and while I was there two more service members were robbed and killed. Not to mention my own personal experiences there. I didn't intend to hurt your feelings or insult you but I know what I know..... What I don't know that I will admit to is that was in 1979 and maybe things have changed since then but I still remain skeptical about the city .... I'm sure things might be different in the suburbs or rural areas and I have seen other parts of the state that are absolutely charming but for the city of Colombia itself - you will never change my mindQuote:

Simple things like that
KSU? Is it really desirable to be in Manhatten Kansas? You're 2 hours from Kansas City, which I guess is nice. But otherwise it seems like you've got all the same downsides of living in small towns in the Southeast but with the additional drawback you're not near anything of interest. Have to fly to get to decent water. Can at least drive to snow sking but still a freaking haul. I have probably not spent enough time in the midwest to be a fair judge, but the little time I spent there made me think it was god awful.Quote:

Not the best beaches or snow skiing, but mediocre and accessible is as good or better than great that you fly to once a year or every few years.Quote:

We have had conversations with multiple candidates. While I do not think we have met with all of them directly we have met with representation from all of them and an offer is on the table for our top guy already.
I?m not saying Kstate is a great job, but their basketball success overall is greater than ours has been. I would put our football job more desirable than theirs but not hoops. Unfortunately, Jans is from Iowa so I could see him choosing Kstate or Mizzou over Miss State. We might have a better chance with McMahon thoughQuote:

Sterlingarcher says most likely Jans by as early as Tuesday. If we pull that off, I think the move was warranted. He's won at 5 stops.
Outstanding hire if it's him.Quote:
