Tim Weiser out at K-State

Tim Weiser is leaving a good job at K-State to take a position with the Big 12. Kansas State reported that in Weisers new role with the Big 12 he "will assist the Commissioner as a staff liaison to the Board of Directors, oversee the day-to-day operation of the Conference office and coordinate activities in the Commissioner’s absence."

Weiser has made some questionable hires and fires at Kansas State. He hired Jim Wooldridge which in did not lead to many great wins and many u Wooldridge had 83 wins and did a decent job. However after a flop in the 2006 Big 12 tourney Weiser fired Wooly. Wooly's big win was at Allen Fieldhouse in 2006 when his Wildcats came in and won for the first time in a long long time against the Jayhawks. After Wooly's departure and Bill Snyder retirement earlier in the year, there have been questionable hires.

Ron Prince, who has never been a head coach was brought on to lead KSU Football and Bob Huggins the animated coach who does not graduate kids was brought on to lead KSU Basketball.

Weiser looked like a fool after Huggins left for West Virginia. Huggins did however bring some top level coaches and athletes to KSU win him. He did get the Wildcats to a 23 win season. Weiser though looked bad after Huggins left after one season. It was a black eye.

Weiser might have another black eye with Ron Prince too, unless Prince can come up with some big North division wins. Yes wins over Texas are nice, but they mean nothing when K-State football is not able to beat Missouri and Kansas constantly.

Tom Osborne came out of "retirement" to take over Nebraska Athletics, I wonder how many times Bill Snyder is going to be propositioned to take over the Athletic Department at Kansas State.
