You must not have heard about all the upgrades the Big 12 is making these days ;)

No doubt. We got rid of Missouri! Woot!

K-State might not have gotten "It's Patterson!" But the Big XII certainly did.

What's Wazzu have that KU doesn't? I mean that in all seriousness; that program sucks.

At least at KU, he'd be able to use his old recruiting ties and take shots at TTU every year.

That seems like a pretty bizarre decision. UCLA makes sense (more upside, likely more $$), but WSU just seems lateral at best.

Go get Sonny Dykes.

Their team sucks, but their program doesn't over the past 20 years. 4 top 10 finishes in the last 2 decades is nothing to sneeze at.

KU should crawl back to Mangino and apologize.

Fortunately for KU, Mangino would tell them to go **** themselves.

Yeah, WSU is a powerhouse compared to KU. :)

Personally I think he wanted out of the Big 12. Everywhere he goes in the conference he'd be "that guy that put Adam James in a closet and got fired, then sued TTU and ESPN." At Wazzu, he's just Mike Leach.

No matter where he goes, that stuff is going to pop up.

The internet disagrees.

yep. The more you think about it the more this is becoming very obvious.

Funny how that works.

Braincase 11-30-2011 10:43 PM

So, Leach is a no go. Who is the next best option?

For instance, I think Herm's a dolt of a head coach, but a legitimately nice guy. He was a guy that I really wanted to see succeed but damn if he couldn't just stay out of his own way.

KU fans seem to hate Gill right now, and I suppose with good reason. But is he the kind of guy you really want to essentially expunge from existence? I mean it's not like he Quin Snydered you fellas or anything. He didn't bring in a bunch of women beaters and rapists, didn't do coke, put you on probation or nail a player's girlfriend. If nothing else, he was a damn fine representative for your program. Does that spare him any barbs here or is it pretty much just raw, unadulterated hate?

There just seems to be a lot of personal venom towards Gill. I know he was a shitty coach, but damn, he didn't go all Sandusky or anything.

Well, it's a varying degree of hate, but I'd put it on a scale just above Herm. But I hate Herm more than you do.

From my perspective, I hate him as much as anyone would who is a fan of a program that spent years in the cellar, appeared to be climbing the hell out and in the space of 2 years, is farther down in the cellar than they have been in my lifetime.

He's probably a nice guy, but he was an embarrassment to the university and absolutely murdered any progress we had made as a program.
