And (hopefully) shortly thereafter, he will be named our new DC.

Hopefully we will know soon if any changes are going to be made. Need to hit the recruiting trail hard.

Now that the Leavitt ship has sailed, what changes do you think will be made to Snyder's staff?


We still need to fill Ricky Rahne's position (TE coach).  He was the last holdover from the Prince regime and left for Vanderbilt to become QB coach under James Franklin.  There have been rumors that Sean Snyder would officially join the staff but not necessarily fill this spot.

There has also been speculation that Keith Burns will reunite with Houston Nutt (played together at Arkansas) to serve in some defensive capacity at Ole Miss.  His son, Tanner, would more than likely stay at K-State as he transferred here from San Jose State last season and already exhausted his redshirt sitting out for the year.

Mo Lattimore (OB 2.0) has suggested that retirement is imminent and this would be perfect timing as the defensive line has struggled and some new blood would be beneficial.  He has been on the staff for 20 years!


Finally, Matt Wallerstedt's name has started to come up in the last couple days.  He is a graduate of Manhattan High and K-State, as well as coached under Prince for two years.  Word is he left because he was not impressed with Prince's coaching philosophy but would be open to returning.  In addition, he also coached under current OC Dana Dimel, when he was head coach at Wyoming.  Wallerstedt is currently DC and Associate Head Coach at Air Force where he has had a lot of success recruiting linebackers and improving that defense.

Yeah there won't be any big changes this year besides the obvious vacancy left by Rahnes. I honestly don't think there will be any kind of shake up until the end of next season at the very earliest.

I know this thread hasn't got much use in the last few months but...

What happens at Penn State?

Ohio State?

and Ole Miss?

Thoughts on if Gill gets canned at the end of the season.... That is if KU can afford it? Where does Leach land?
