I don't agree with either sentiment here.
This year's team is WILDLY dependent on reading Ds.
Bruce's last 5 years his teams were 28th in def efficiency. Brad's 38th his last 5...which is heavily impacted by the e8 '24 team being 80th in D.
So I guess the def efficiency more or less proves my point on defense. Bruce did have a pretty active defense system. The trap defense of the 2025 team was a beauty. Completely destroyed Chris Paul and lots of good guards. I never said Brad's players don't read defense and I think they are doing pretty well this year. However, Brad said himself that their main philosophy is to hunt mismatches. Personally I like it because it's a simple but effective method. Not every players are good reading defense but it's not hard to tell when youn see a mismatch. Either way, you need the personnel though.

I agree about not wanting to give Tyler a nepo job but if Brad retired after this year I'd legitimately want to consider Luke Murray to replace him.
FIFYHere's to a tournament championship to continue raising his stock
Tyler should try and land a mid-major coaching job after this year. Maybe a school like Illinois State or even Loyola. He needs to hire his own assistants and get the feel for being a head coach. If he does a great job then maybe he can replace Brad in around 5-7 years when Brad is read to retire.

I would think that it is a great feeling to be coaching with your dad. He should cherish the moments & do it a while longer.

I thought it was sort of universally thought of as a “meh” job, lol.
I don’t see evidence that Tang is a solid coach. He had a great start at Kstate thanks to a great guard. Since then it’s been bad. He’s had NIL money the last two years and spent it poorly. He’s has chased after recruits he had no shot at instead of being realistic. He doesn’t know how to construct a roster where the pieces fit. He’s paid a lot to bring in a new assistant to install an offense but it hasn’t worked. His ridiculous contract is a poorly timed disaster. Kstate needs to give the new football coach all the resources they can in his first years so he can start off well and paying $18M to make Tang go away doesn’t fit that plan.
Time for the rumors to start
Since Josh is a phenomenal AD, nothing to see from our end. Brad's 100% out of play for ANY opening, much less trash like KSU.
The only Underwood rumor I’d consider possible is Tyler.
K State is not poaching Brad … No need for those rumors to even start …
Is Tang a good coach? I think so, but can’t tell.
Just 3 years ago he was the biggest coaching darling.
He will have better offers if I’d have to guess
Schertz will have better options. Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Boston College, Arizona State., etc.
Fired "for cause". We'll see how that plays out.
