That's my thought. He's great but I don't want him at KSU. I hope he leaves for a top program ASAP
Didn’t he quit because he hates NIL? Texas ain’t the place for him.
Wright is too classy for the horns.
So tired of these types of takes. He was a huge piece of that staff no doubt (just like all staffs on a good to great team/program) but Scott Drew is a damn good coach and to say he wasn’t the one behind Baylor’s success is dumb. Baylor doesn’t have their normal make up this year with the size, but they are starting to figure it out with their guards.
So many said the same thing about Tech last year without Beard and Adams when they had such a great year. Welp let’s see how things go because now all you see is people saying how Adams is not the guy and in way over his head.
Baylor’s going to look a lot different with everyone healthy so don’t be surprised if they turn this around.
There have been coaches that have come in and given an existing team a spark and pushed them to the next level, only to fail to identify and recruit the same guys as their program deteriorated over the following years. In other words I wouldn’t call the analysis complete.
I also think he is a class guy trying to get the KSU fans to be less "little brother" about stuff. Meaning, K-State chants "eff KU" at every game in some capacity (i.e. when they are not playing them). Here is a story I saw during football season:

he seems legit...but is now trying to tell their fans to act like you belong vs be a little brother.
It'd be like if for whatever reason our senior leadership didn't like that you could hear the "don't know the words to this stupid effing song" and that became a thing and told the band to not play it any more...and the only way we could play it is if Matt Campbell told the students to not chant that, etc.
Biggest change at KSt is the relentless tough defense under Tang. Plus the pg is the real deal which is necessary for a top tier team. Best player in the conference in my view at this juncture. The change from Webber to Tang in how this team gets after it is obvious. Have no idea what happened in their one conference loss however.
Relentless tough defense? They've been a very good and much improved team, but its been by outscoring everyone. 83 on KU. 110 on Texas. 97 on Baylor.
Between Johnson and Nowell, been putting points up at will. Wouldnt call them a defensive team by any means.
I'm with you, thought it was hokey. Goes out of his way to say expect to win and love the guys and they chant F-KU the entire game, win in the front 1/3 of the conference and he has a big shin dig at the end of the game. I like the guy, but geez, if you want to act like you've been there, act like it.
I am basing my analysis of their defensive ability on eyeballing one game against KU at home in which they played tough against a team that was better athletically over all.
Guys, the name is Pootie Tang
I thought K-State's coach was going to slap the refs with his belt after the no call at the end of regulation.
Coach Tang is trying to change the lil brother culture, y'all said it above and it's true. A lot of this over-the-top hatefulness emanated with Frank Martin and carried over: the angriest fanbase in college sports. It's unhealthy on many levels.
Well, Tang is deeply religious and offended by the f'Ku chant which was tamped down last night relative to earlier years dating back even before Martin.
It's the ole land grant v. flagship thing that he's trying to change. If you visit a Ku board you'll understand better.
As for going to Texas, that would be an oil and water marriage. Could happen because of his Texas roots, but I doubt it. Texas hires the next bright star only to fire them time-after-time.
Good win by Cy last night as well.

Yeah, from what I've seen, they try to force you into their pace, which can lead you to turn it over and waste possessions if you aren't careful. If you play under control, you can burn them with it (like TCU did).
They got tired of consistently winning under Barnes. Same reason they forced out Mack Brown. Too much winning, not enough scandals.
Why not just say those things in a press conference though? Definitely gave me weird vibes. Like sure, maybe if you just clinched the regular season title, but there is a lot of season left.
