I'm putting my money on John Wefald.

He probably thought he could do a better job if he just had more time.

I don't see the K-State tie here either...

Moot point.

I believe Indiana fans blamed him for Kelvin Sampson.

I don't see a K-State connection...

but does seem to be a decent fundraiser.

True...

Just apprehensive about putting auslanders in charge….a la Prince.

I suppose it has to be better than the Good Ol’ Boys Network.

SEC connection

I wonder if Schulz and Currie had met before while in the SEC. Perhaps not since Currie is involved in athletics and Schulz in academics but they may have along the way.

GO STATE!!!!

I guess I'd like to see a guy with more experience...

but gray hair isn’t the end-all-be-all I guess.

My main concern is whether or not he can play ball with Sweet Lou.

I mean, he’s from the SEC, so he knows how to deal with shady characters. Maybe that will help.
