ZachTheZip Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 http://footballscoop.com/the-scoop/ Quote Kansas State: Source tells FootballScoop Akron running backs coach Eric Hickson is expected to join the Kansas State staff. Hickson, the all-time rushing leader at K-State, has been at Akron since the 2015 season. He previously coached running backs and served as recruiting coordinator at Garden City and as OC and then head coach at Emmerich Manual High School (IN). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZachTheZip Posted January 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 That depends entirely on who we bring in to replace him. He was obviously doing something right. He had to have one of the hardest jobs on the coaching staff, constantly losing his best players to injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cykron Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Kansas State is a time bomb right now with Bill Snyder trying to make his son the new head coach, even though the AD already contracted with someone to become the head coach when Snyder retires. It is an ugly power struggle. We can't wait for Snyder (the vampire who appears once per year to such Cyclone blood) to retire. He was won so many close games in so many freaky ways against us! Taking a job at Kansas State right now if rolling the dice on what will happen next, though Hickson is probably more safe than anyone else no matter what happens.

Steve1982 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 I always wondered about Ricky Powers as a college assistant coach. He surely would have the gravitas in NE Ohio to recruit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope we find a great replacement and I hope our top RB's stay healthy during the upcoming seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoZips94 Posted January 12, 2018 Report Share Posted January 12, 2018 Not to change the subject, and congrats to Hickson on taking a job with his alma mater, but what does the list of schools look like that are trying to steal away Milwee? How can I help them become successful in doing so? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really; they have a contract with the next head coach! Not that everything you say is above reproach - SOURCE? What makes Hickson more safe - SOURCE?

Not that everything you say is above reproach - SOURCE? What makes Hickson more safe - SOURCE? Its messy. As I look back at the articles, I see reference to "verbal agreement" between the AD and his candidate for head coach. But it was well-known, which is why Bill Snyder could intervene and block it. http://www.kansas.com/sports/college/big-12/kansas-state/article190600669.html https://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2017/11/16/16665968/jim-leavitt-kansas-state-bill-snyder-coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Is this the new RB coach?! You'd think this would give us the inside track on up and coming SVSM players who aren't elite P5 caliber. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy5 Posted January 31, 2018 Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 Not sure if RB coach, or the 10th assistant spot that the NCAA created this year. I don't think I've seen us hire the extra coach yet, unless I missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted January 31, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2018 He's more of a defensive-minded coach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachTheZip Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 (edited) Another coaching staff move. Who is Mark Ouimet, and why does his hiring away from Akron warrant several verified Twitter accounts reporting it as breaking news? I honestly have no answer to either of these questions. GoZips.com lists him as our assistant DFO. Edited February 7, 2018 by ZachTheZip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
