Thanks for all the great teams Lon. Go enjoy your retirement.

He's bounced around a lot of places, but has been mostly successful. Kind of cool/interesting to see his son got the head job at UNLV in the same year that he retired. He'll probably move to Vegas and help out as a special assistant.
Why the heck did he leave Kansas State in the first place? Florida most have thrown serious money at him. Because they had pretty close to no history before he came there.
Started it all at UF with great recruiting etc..
I think the Vince Carter situation did him in at UF. Billy D stepped in and ended up getting his signature on the court
heck, even Mike white got to an E8.
Thanks Lon

I definitely get that. I'm ready to retire despite far less success than Kruger has had and no children to watch do stuff.
He told Ron Paradis (starter on KSU ‘64 FF team) that he couldn’t get any recruits to visit Manhattan. Two other factors were the $ that Florida was offering and the commitment the KSU was making towards football.

He closed on a new house in Vegas in January.

Well, yes, both reasons make sense. People often say there's nothing to do in Manhattan. Those are pretty valid reasons for jumping ship. KSU sure a rough go in the 90's w/o Krueger leading the way.
I did it a few years ago. Do it as soon as you can. You won’t regret it.
Congrats! It's definitely not easy to do. I keep moving my number up.

I don't get it, a guy has all the resources in the world and can't win. So lets hire him, "we're ok with those results".
