Honest question, how is it way better? He seems very similar in that regard from what I've seen.

huh?

Gill was never a coordinator, Fedora was the best OC in college for a time w/ stints at Florida and Ok State...

Fedora never won less than 7 games, culminating in this season's 11-2 conference championship..Gill only won 7 games once, ending with a 5-7 season before being hired by KU


*edit

gill was 8-6 once

Article on WSU hiring Leach.


http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports...=pm_sports_pop


One thing that popped out to me in the article:


Moos had his eye on Leach ever since the WSU season started falling apart with five straight losses after a 3-1 start.

He said he flew to Key West, Fla., in the week prior to the Nov. 19 Utah game and spent several hours with Leach.

Sheahon should have gotten a head start.

Leach probably told him that he would consider WSU unless KU offered him and didn't make him drop his lawsuits.

If Leach was his target and if Zenger waited until after the MU game to talk with him, he was already 2 weeks behind and ****ed up.

KU admin nixed Leach

his refusal to drop his lawsuit being the main issue, if you believe rumors...

I could see that - but I'm not sure I believe it.

From Tait's chat yesterday:

holdenkc

Do you think that BGL was instrumental in us not going fully after Leach?

Matt Tait

Nope. I've been told by multiple sources that there's no truth to that and that she had nothing to do with Leach not coming to Kansas.
She'll have some input here, as well she should, but thus far she's been letting Zenger run the show and it looks like that will continue...

Also, this is KU's Vice Chancellor of Public Affairs:

I could too - I just really hate twitter for obvious reasons.

[DeezNutz]

If I were a KU fan, I wouldn't be able to rationalize passing on Leach. He would make the program instantly relevant and more profitable. At this point, the university desperately needs to establish both of these qualities for the program.

There was no downside to hiring Leach for KU football.
