if something was to happen and KSU did move on from Bill this year it could be an absolute disaster trying to find a decent coach to bring in unless you are somehow able to land a BV and even then it's still unknown how he does at head coaching. With the probability of UT and UO being open along with LSU already being open with quite possibly USC as well the pickings for a replacement are going to be slim. You would be hoping to pull a needle out of a haystack to get a decent replacement. Just something to think about as we all say we are ready to move on. Even if he retires who is really out there to hire. You have to think people like PJ Fleck will be a hot commodity elsewhere just because the shear lack of candidates to fill the big jobs potentially this year.
