Two things:
1. Currie was hated at K-State (couldn't get along with Snyder and ran off Frank Martin). We were warned by K-State fans when we hired him that he was an autocratic control freak who could raise money like crazy but couldn't get along with anyone. That points to problems getting along with coaches in general.
2. Fulmer is highly respected in coaching circles and rightfully so. He's likable, intelligent, and down to Earth and anyone looking at the job knows they'd have an AD who wants to win more than they do.
Fulmer's name alone would've opened the pool but when you combine it with Currie's name closing it things should be even greater. The problem is whether or not we're too late to the game.
