Doug Gottlieb is interested in the K-State job. K-State took a chance on Huggins (DUI) and Martin (unproven). Hire Doug now. #Gottlieb4KSU

There's no way a school like that will hire someone who hasn't even been an assistant coach. It would be beyond stupid.

[44PRIDE]

[BRNCUSEFRVCUSE]

You are assuming that his JetBlue flight arrives.

ESPN's Gottlieb very intrigued by K-State job
Doug Gottlieb, for the most part, has no coaching experience, and admits it's not an ideal scenario that plays out too often in the world of college basketball. Yeah, it's probably a long shot. But if Kansas State were to open the door and hire the ESPN college basketball analyst for the Wildcats' head-coaching vacancy, he believes he'd do well.
"I'm pretty self aware and I understand that the idea is not necessarily out of left field, but it would not technically be the norm for an athletic director," Gottlieb told The Mercury in a phone interview on Thursday. "But I do believe if given the chance I would do it pretty well."

Ok, I will arrange for his flight on JetBlue.

I will buy the airline, fly him in his own plane, and give him two planes as escorts just in case he has to emergency land in the middle of nowhere.

Still working on the 'buy the airline' part.

Bill Self says hello.

I once heard JetBlue first class was amazing. Yep.

 

[Melancer46]

I was actually just thinking the other day that I honestly think Gottlieb would be a better coach than he is an ESPN analyst.

BTB’s odds for Kansas State’s next coach:
Brad Underwood 3/1
Doug Gottlieb 3/1
Tim Jankovich* 5/1
Steve Henson 6/1
Tad Boyle 8/1
Chris Mack 20/1
Kevin Stallings 25/1
Orlando Antigua 50/1
Steve Wojciechowski 50/1
Chris Collins 50/1
Lon Kruger 50/1
Bruce Pearl** 100/1
Kim Mulkey 500/1
Field 2/1
*Jankovich was the previous favorite only because K-State’s AD is incompetent and will likely find a way to screw up the hire. But after Gottlieb trashed him on radio (brought up his divorce), had to knock him down a few pegs. **Kirk Schulz, K-State president, hinted the school has no interest in Pearl on Twitter.

You all do realize that if he did leave ESPN and become a coach, he would no longer provide analysis and editorials. Since, a good number of people on this board hang on every word he says, his leaving would probably kill about half the posts made on this board. What would you people who are Gottlieb fanatics do with your lives should that happen?

 

[midloviking]

Gottlieb only wants to coach Syracuse.

 

[Whitey23]

Sounds like its gonna be Bruce Weber.

Field 2/1!

 

[CusefanATL]

Sounds like its gonna be Bruce Weber.

Field 2/1!

Jacob pullen seems ecstatic about the hire.

 

[Whitey23]

Jacob pullen seems ecstatic about the hire.

"Bruce Webber didn't think I was good enough to play at Illinois and I don't think he is good enough to coach at Kansas State"

That's great.

 

[HOFCeluck]

What has Weber accomplished that KSU thinks would make him a good coach?

He took Bill Selfs players to the title game in his second year. Thats the list.
