The deal is done?
ChiefsInsider Warpaint Illustrated For those that thought Mike Leach was a lock for the # Jayhawks, things have cooled. Interested in speaking to UCLA about their HC Vacancy! |

Still think Larry Fedora would be the best for the job (wanted him over Gill the first time). I'm not an expert, and take it all at face value from what I read on the internet.
So, like most of us, I have no real clue as to who would be the best candidate.

Knowing Zenger, I doubt he would make a move like he did as quickly as he did without having pocket aces. It wouldn't surprise me at all if something were to be announced next Monday, hell, or even this Friday.

UCLA isn't goint to offer 3 million a year and Leach isn't even their top target. This is all about trying to gain leverage. Not saying KU will get Leach, just that your scenario buys into the leverage Leach wants to create. KU will counter with other candidates and how badly Leach would like to get back into the Big XII and Texas recruiting which is his wheelhouse. The finances come mostly from boosters, not the university. IOW, boosters have made up the buyout money. So, the university books are largely concerned with what they are paying the next head coach. Don't forget, the new contract begins to kick in as well, so these revenue problems you're so concerned for us about aren't nearly as bad I believe you hope they are.

He might just be Leach without the crazy and the pricetag. Then again, Leach without the crazy is only about 1/2 as entertaining. The good news is that you can't do worse than the last guy.

Like I said - I love me some Mike Leach. Put him in the XII and I'll still get to see his teams play and listen to him be a little nuts. I'll get to see a guy that wants nothing more than to beat a team from Texas; I can get behind that. It'll make sports radio in the area that much better and it's not like Mizzou will have to deal with playing him at this point since you fellas are still being bitter. I'd be happy to see Leach end up at KU, it just seems like a pretty tall order to pay for Gill, Perkins and Leach at the same time, especially at a school where most booster dollars seem to be allocated to basketball (your own faithful will make that point and make it frequently). Calm down, dick. Just because you like to come be a complete troll in our threads doesn't mean I'm doing the same here; quit projecting. You'll notice I didn't even post in your disaster of a 2011 thread because I don't care about that trainwreck, nor did I post in the EMAW thread.

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.

I wonder if it's a reduced amount at least; the time value of several million dollars that would've been earned over another 3 years is pretty significant. If he's getting the same amount and getting it all up front, he's cornholing you guys. Besides, if he gets another job, that would offset the amount he would technically be owed (mitigating the damages). As such, KU would be entitled to reduce the entire balance by whatever he earned. If he already has that in hand, KU now has to go through the process of getting it back from him. I'll be honest, that kinda seems unlikely, but I guess it's not impossible. Did they negotiate a reduced buyout with him? Because that would make more sense at that point. He'd have more leverage to demand it within 90 days and he'd have more incentive to go out and find a new job.
