From The Couch – Jerome Tang Fired

From The Couch – Jerome Tang Fired

JM: Jerome Tang is out as K-State’s head basketball coach, apparently fired FOR CAUSE. Rumors are that K-State athletic director Gene Taylor and Tang met on Sunday morning and are discussing the terms of a buyout. I’m a bit surprised that they are not letting Tang coach the final games of the season, but this isn’t necessarily surprising given Tang’s controversial comments of late, which made it to national sports programs as a point of discussion and controversy.

From The Couch – After Colorado Win, Klieman Blames Injuries, Lack Of Money For Poor Season

K-State beat Colorado 24-14 on Saturday on a cold, snowy, rainy, and windy day at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Running back Joe Jackson ran for 142 yards and three touchdowns in the win, his second great game in a row.

I made the incorrect prediction a few weeks back that K-State…

From The Couch – Chris Klieman Breaks Down After The Utah Game

My apologies for the tardiness of this “From The Couch” column. I was in Branson for a family gathering over the weekend and am in the middle of preparing to host a big family Thankgiving. Some of you have asked where my column is, so that is why it was tardy. Also, if it seems I am rambling a bit here, I was trying to quickly put my thoughts together, and it has ended up that I have a lot…
