Brian Bohannon Fired

Does KSU have many well to do alums? It is a new school on the scene so to speak, may not have had the time for the really wealthy alums to develop that also want to contribute to their FB program.

Seems to me that KSU is a run of the mill liberal arts school with a business school and an engineering division. I don’t know that they have had time to develop many CEO types. Maybe so, but I’d be surprised.

Michael Coles was the CEO at Great American Cookie Company (which he started and sold) and Caribou Coffee. He’s been on the BoT at KSU for decades with his name plastered all over campus, including the business school.

Overton is catching hell over this decision. Something tells me that he must have had some donors in his ear...if not, Overton will likely be shown the door soon too.

How much does it take to be a big money booster there who has input into hiring/firing decisions??? I am guessing that three crisp $100 bills and a box of fresh Krispy Kremes (the ones wth sprinkles) makes you KSU's version of Phil Knight, T. Boone Pickens, Jimmy Haslam or Jimmy Rane.

I took a look, and there are some alumni that you would have heard of. Some sites say that Ryan Seacrest is an alum (I can’t confirm any of the lists)

Mostly, KSU students are the first in their families to attend college. They often won’t have the connections of some alumni from older schools, but I know a lot of people who live to hire their grads.

I don’t think they’d have nearly as many wealthy alumni as UGA or Tech, partially because they really started expanding about 30 years ago and they have more alumni from 10 years ago than from 25 years ago. They’ll probably start having more, though

72 - 38 with three conference championships, he has three so-so years including a bad start this year and they fire him, then lie about it. A bad end for a career that literally lifted KSU into football relevance and included some really great years. And all because the transition to BCS and didn't prepare for it. This was not Bohannon's fault.

Bohannon didn't deserve this. Maybe he can catch on at one of the service academies. They'd be glad to have him, I would guess.

Get this man on staff to cook up some plays with Buster.

We should def find a spot for Bohannon, he’s a helluva coach, there was a noticeable drop-off after he left Tech for KSU
