Here is what I have heard in the last few days... I keep hearing Chad is the number one candidate so far to replace John. I would love for Chad to come back but the word out there is OK ST AD is retiring as well and he on their radar also. Now the interesting part is Chad and Brad Underwood and still fairly close friends. A lot of these moving parts may have to do if Chad decides to come back to KSU or wants to hold out for OSU. I have heard if Chad passes on KSU Brad may opt to stay with OSU in hopes his buddy and someone close becomes his next AD. Right now I was told Chad is number one, a former KSU ast AD that is now out east is number two and Laird is third on the list. One of those three will be the new AD.
