Poll Question KSU Sports Forums Almost seems like someone is paying the RCPD to arrest KSU football players. Maybe someone can pay a little more and have Prince arrested. 2

Posted By: coolcat It all started after getting hammered by the cornbusters last year. The question on everybody's mind was and still is, is rp continuing to proclaim himself a head coach. A coach to me is someone who is well versed in the x's and o's of football. Someone who can turn an average 3 star recruit into a SUNDAY PLAYMAKER, a person that talk's the talk, but also walk's the walk and someone who the players RESPECT. If the coach said the sky was purple then the sky was purple because the players bought into the system. rp does not have a clue, no chemistry on the field, players are not buying into his system the coaches are not either for that matter Oops I was not suppose to say that. All this said I say we lose by 5+ TD's against texas tech and yes it will be very ugly. (Can rp convince the administation to fork over another 250 grand as payment so they will start there 3rd stingers at least for the first half ?) 1

Posted By: FlyOnTheWall Lets just say I think Snyder was the best coach KSU ever had. That being said the downfall started back in Snyder's final 4 or so years. I know 2003 was when we finally won the Big12 title, and he retired after the 2005 season. The drop off for recruting happened because coach Snyder kept scheduling weak competition. It's hard to get recruits to get excited playing the likes of the western kentuckys, when you're conference oppenants are playing Ohio States, Notre Dames,even Washingtons. The next part of the downfall came on the dicipline aspect that Snyder didn't dish out fairly. I don't think anyone would have cared if he would have set Ell Roberson from starting the Fiesta Bowl. Then in 2004 when Darren Sproles was having a case of the fumbles on punt returns he didn't pull him for even a short period. Bill knew Darren was the best playmaker he had on the field,but I think some of the other players thought they weren't getting treeted as fair. Bill could of had alot more productive years if when the 10 and 11 win seasons kept coming he would have beefed up the schedule. I'd just like to say I met Bill at 1 of the fan apprecation days and he was one of the nicest people I ever met. I will cherish my autographed football till the day I die. 12

Posted By: y2k3cats I grew up going to K State football and basketball games as a young child. My father is a K State Alumni and retired Veterinarian. I have always been proud to be a WildCat fan. Until the Prince regime. I am trying desperately to figure out what is wrong with our football program and can find only one thing to attribute this to - recruiting failure and poor coaching. Our defense and offense has always been second to none in the NCAA for years. Now we can't even hold our own with unranked teams that heretofore would have been afraid to even think of playing K State, now they jump at the chance as we are a laughing stock in the league. This sickens many other K State fans I am sure. Anytime you give 500 yards on the ground, that only means one thing. Either you have poor players, or you have incompetent coaching. Come on, Ron, which is it? Why are we not able to secure good players? K State has always had awesome recruiting, and now suddenly, we only have Josh Freeman and Brandon Banks to hold up the whole offense. These two players do not a team make. It takes 11 player on both offense and efense to make a cohesive team. We demand to see some changes, either in the way you recruit and coach, or the coaching staff. There is a lot of money being spent on the sports program and we want to see our money well spent on the scoreboard. Sign me, Disgusted Fan 5

Posted By: JamesAlan I'm interested in Forum opinions about contract extensions to LJ and RP. Is it fair to compare them? How do the deals look for each organization short term? Long term? Money well spent? 3
