Zeke, you took the first line of DJ's quote out of context by truncating it. As for the "career suicide" comments, it is absolutely being discussed by national personalities, and I think its a very real concern for up and coming coaches.
If you're the next big thing, why would you go somewhere that just fired the last big thing after only 2 years?

Again - this is the national reputation of your program right now. Dan Patrick doesn't give a wet fart about MU/KU but he specifically noted that many assistants might choose to stay at their current level and wait another year rather than take the KU job. VanPelt said something similar, but he was talking about mid-level head coaches (like Dykes). Go ahead and say its just sour grapes if you'd like, but I'd suggest you listen to the national outlets a little more before believing it. Kansas has developed a national reputation for coaching suicides.

I clarified the point to make the discussion more worthwhile; he must've clicked the quote button almost immediately. As to the rest of his response; pretty head-in-the-sand stuff right there.

There are two possible scenarios I see playing out here and both can end up being good for KU. 1) KU lands Fedora. We know that he interviewed openly with ASU, A&M and UNC. Three good jobs. He chose KU over them (possibly, depending on if we find out he has offers). That gives me a ton of confidence in Zenger. 2) He gets a job at one of those schools, and we don't know whether KU was ever actively trying to get him. This also gives me confidence in Zenger in that he is doing what is best for the school. Not openly recruiting anyone and everyone with the hope of landing someone. He's gathering everything he can and getting the best guy in here that we can get without publicizing all the "no's" along the way. If Zenger was out there making all these interviews and offers public, it could be bad when a few coaches say "no" and then others are looking at it with the attitude of "maybe I don't wanna coach there, heck they all are turning them down". Either way, it's being handled correctly by our new AD and this is giving me a lot more confidence that we have the right guy making this decision. Yes, there are many more scenarios that can play out here.. but That's my positive spin for the day.

Blah blah blah.
You're one of the premier trolls on this board, I'm not terribly concerned about your consternation.

Uh...no, that's not my opinion at all.
When I say that KU has developed a national reputation as a career-killer and I cite national sources calling it a career killer, that is not my opinion, that is the opinion of said national sources. Had I simply said "KU is career suicide", that is my opinion. However, when it comes to reputation, perception is reality. Right now, the perception is that KU is a coaching graveyard and the national media guys are repeating it. If you really think that Dan Patrick is just making this shit up and it's not coming from the coaching community, more power to you. Like I said, very much a head-in-the-sand response from you here.

And then because the nice guy that couldn't coach a lick was fired by the new AD? Give me a break. Face value, that's all you have.

I'm talking about the coach thinking that HE is the next big thing. Nobody is going to confuse Kansas football with the next big thing. Its more like pissing with a boner. \admits to trolling there

Have you ever tried doing that while standing up still? It's quite fun, actually.
