Baylor, better coaching destination than K-State?
Sorry, TB and 'Cats fans, I just wanted to gather your thoughts on Tim Griffin's assertion that Baylor is a more desirable coaching destination than Kansas State.
Here's the excerpt:
10. Baylor -- Receives a small boost over the other schools because of its proximity to the rich Texas recruiting base. The school faces some unique challenges as the smallest school in the conference, along with its private-school status. Some might believe it's an impossible job, although Wake Forest's Jim Grobe has been successful in similar situation in the ACC. They always will have the daunting challenge of sticking with the South Division superpowers. But the Bears will have a new state-of-the-art football facility that will open soon. And if you really like Dr. Pepper, this would be your the place.
11. Kansas State -- Bill Snyder turned this program into a national power, transforming it in the most remarkable turnaround in modern college football history. But Snyder started to change the culture when KSU was in the Big Eight and not the Big 12. Its remote location in the North Division makes it difficult to recruit. But it can be done -- it's just not very easy. You just better know your way around the junior colleges in Kansas.
Does this seem as sketchy to you as it does to me?

I think it all depends
on what’s available at any given time. From a national standpoint, Manhattan isn’t the most ideal place to coach. Other than the local JUCO powerhouses, there aren’t many options to recruit in Kansas. That’s why K-State is the top spender in the Big 12 in recruiting costs.
Man do I hate Longhorn fans, well except for the ones that actually went there.
I'm starting to wonder about Tim Griffin
He is consistently negative in his attitude toward K-State on his blog. On top of that, he has yet to respond to my request to do an inter-blog interview, similar to what he did with Seth over at Double T Nation. I’m really starting to think he has some issue with K-State, or me, which would hardly be unlikely.
I was going to write a lengthier response to this, but I realized it would be much better as front-page material. Thanks rpt.

Thus far...
He’s made sure to extend olive branches of sunshine and propaganda to Texas and Nebraska, as well as try to reciprocate the love that Seth at DTN was giving him.

I've noticed...
that the best way to get a question posted on his mailbag is to start out “Love your blog! You’re doing a great job!” Then the other day somebody wrote something critical, and he put it up, but wasn’t very happy about it.
I think he’s doing a good job, but I’d be lying if I said I thought his coverage has been even-handed.
