Is this the low point in KU athletic history?

I honestly have no idea. At this point, he could be talking to Marty Schottenheimer & Norv Turner about coaching KU.

A big name coach from Texas would make a lot of sense. I feel like Malzhan is the most likely pick, but something about Zenger makes me think he wants to make a splash.

This likely is the biggest decision that he'll make while at KU - it's huge for him and definitely huge for the KU football program. Hopefully he makes a good decision - the only thing I'd really not like is if he made a choice that is similar to what Gill was before he got to KU.

He had to get the boosters to pony up for Gill's buyout. There were a lot of rumors that boosters had pledged a lot of dough for Leach specifically. I wouldn't be surprised if the boosters are attaching strings to that money, and those strings would likely require a big name. I base this last part on nothing other than my gut.

Assaul Good tries too hard to be a troll. I'm gonna put him on ignore before get mad and then go find out where he lives and go shoot his family... then I'll go back in time and go shoot his great-grandpa in the face with a musket.

There have been message board rumors saying pretty much the same thing - but I've taken them much like I've been taking Tait's blog - with a grain of salt.

Hopefully they come through with a good coach. Obviously we aren't going to get the top guys, but someone that has the potential to grow into a coach the likes of Texas/LSU/Alabama would want to steal away would be nice.

Mr. Plow · 12-05-2011, 07:53 PM

And I'm not really asking for much from whoever our new coach is....we just need a coach that constantly brings in 5* blue chip kids, has KU ranked in the top 5 every year after his second year (I'll give him a year to bring in "his" players), and is yearly in the talk of National Championships.....maybe I should raise my expectations a bit.

Good to have you back, Dane.

Then why are you claiming to not care about Mizzou anymore and then immediately post about Mizzou in a Kansas football thread?

I've never understood why people are so protective about 'their school's thread'. Get it password protected if you are that butthurt.

Yes, butthurt.

I think they need to try to hire someone like him, an up and comer from a minor conference. They had the plan that was right for Kansas, they just picked a completely wrong person for the job. It gives them a better chance for continuity over the long term.

Could be. And this is MU's high.

Still an empty trophy case.

You guys really need some higher standards over there.
