Possible Coaching Candidates

With the departure of Bill Snyder, the Kansas State coaching job has been left wide open.  Everyone knows that Snyder has always wanted his son Shawn to take over the program.  Here is our top three realistic coaching options for the Cats.

Seth Litrell

              Seth Litrell has been thrown around as the frontrunner for the KSU job, and rightfully so.  He has led the Mean Green to two straight nine win seasons. Although that may not seem impressive, North Texas finished 1-11 the year before he took over the job. Lastly, Litrell’s recruiting class at North Texas is higher than K-State’s class was this season.

Brent Venables 

              Brent Venables seems to be the fan favorite this offseason.  Venables seems like the perfect candidate, previously playing for the cats under Snyder.  He is one of the top paid asistants, and has been to the playoff with Clemson.  He also is known as someone who is able to recruit well, and gets along with players.

Jim Leavitt

               Jim Leavitt is known to want the KSU coaching job.  It is in his contract at Oregon.  He seems to be another liked candidate, and has coaching experience.  Although the front runners seem to be Venables and Litrell, look for Leavitt’s name to be thrown around as well.
