Kansas State didn’t wait long in their search for a new director of athletics. The Wildcats will introduce Gene Taylor at a press conference on Monday.

On February 28, John Currie surprised Kansas State to say he was returning to the SEC and the University of Tennessee.

Gene Taylor, who spent over a dozen years at North Dakota State in the football powerhouse of the Missouri Valley Conference is the new man in Manhattan.

Taylor did build the NDSU Bison football program to national prominence.

On the other hand, I am thankful Taylor also worked the past three years at Big 10 Iowa.

Word of Taylor’s move to Kansas State broke Friday afternoon. Not a great day to break big news.

Despite that, the social media world was busy.

Some comments positive and some controversial.

I hope Gene Taylor is enjoying the weekend. He has a big job ahead of him.
