Good move and good timing. Get ahead on things while KSU dicks around with how they are going to get rid of their old fossil.

I thought he deserved another 5 years at least

Lol

KU football coach has to be one of the most difficult jobs in the world

I mean mangino did it but was mean to the kids and was too tough on them so he was let go. They have been a trashfire ever since.

Les Miles

KU was trending down at the end and they just used the being mean to the players as a valid reason to can the fat ****.

The mistake was the following 3 stupid ass hires. The next hire for KU will depend on how much they want to overspend on a HC. If they overspend enough and put in a ton of years on the deal for security, they could land a quality candidate.

If I were the AD there, I'd double the pirates salary and guarantee him the time to build the program. If he can turn around ****ing Wazzu, the guy is what KU needs.

Yup.

He's 64 years old. I'm sure he'll do a decent job of recruiting and then getting bombed out by teams with less talent.

Favorite is probably Mad Hatter....but I don't know why. He was ran out of Baton Rouge because he wouldn't conform to the pass heavy offenses of current times.

With the hiring history of KU football they'll end up with Butch Jones.

Considering KU's recruiting class for next year consists of one two-star player, you're talking as if the bar can get literally ANY lower than what it is right now.

Hire Trent Green!!!!

Wazzu football history >>>>>>>>> KU football history.

Wait, what? How is that even possible?

Good. Now either throw some money around to get an actual good football coach or just disband the whole thing.

They are throwing money around, with the money that the capital campaign is bringing in there is no reason why there wouldn't be room to bring in a legitimate coach.

les miles ROFL

he will show up for some 2-3 win seasons and eat some grass from the field in lawrence

Ok?

GAIS I HEARD ITS CUZ HARBAW WANTS 2 COME HOME TO KANSIS

Also why leave a program on a clear upswing to a program in need of a massive overhaul? Leach isn't one to jump programs. He would probably still be at Texas Tech if the AD and boosters weren't such stupid egomaniacs.

Anybody know Ebonics?

he was saying that khaki pants might move to lawrence because he is getting tired of so much winning in the big10

They are in a tough spot here because an established coach probably wont take the job and they will be at the bottom of the list for an up and coming coach. Miles wont win many games but he will acquire more talent which would make the job attractive in a few years.

Chris Creighton at Eastern Michigan is who I would consider if I was KU. He has won at the hardest spot in FBS. Has Kansas ties was head coach at Ottawa and also was head coach at Drake.

Gregg Williams, check your mail.

$$$

Bye.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...91b363ebb6.jpg

We should just start cheating

I blame Lew for that, he wanted to get his guy. Thank goodness he's gone and Beaty as well.

Oh, I'm sure we have been, but sometimes it's just hard to compete with the cheating of every other program in America.

Even KU can do better than that shitbird.

Whoever it is, they should hire a guy who has built a program up a bit with lesser talent, and give him 5 years.

Trying for another splash hire will probably result in another Weis or Gill like disaster.

Beaty was closer to what they need to do but didn’t have proven skills as a head coach

He was offered the job and didn't want to come to KU

Liar^

Same win %, same # bowl wins.

Long should tell burritto Bill to eat a dick and renew the stupid rivalry with Mizzou. In football atleast. That program needs some life brought into it.

Good! Now we can finally get serious about getting this program turned around. I think Long will find a good coach for that job.

**** that bullshit, and **** mizzou should never play them ever outside of charity events

I wish the same thing would happen to their basketball team.

Why? They're #1, not a good time to fire a coach.

About three years too late.

Not sure if troll?

Hue Jackson and Todd are available for hire.

I'm not trolling. Your program needs some excitement and theres never enough money to be made. You're telling me playing Mizzou again wouldnt do that?

Here's a thread of tweets from the Long presser that is happening now:

Does anyone actually want that job?

No former Patriots or fat guys. Or any combination of former Patriots or fat.

Rehire Mangino - not sure if joking or not

Does not meet my criteria unless he has lost 350 pounds.

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

How much does it pay, asking for a friend.

This guy is available. Have no idea who he is, but he is fat enough.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8237d46a8f.jpg

^ Butt pic? Please, asking for a friend.

You're probably right. Now that I think about it, quite a few people may still care.

To me, both teams are completely irrelevant right now and the would be no implications whatsoever. Personally, I wouldn't be excited at the prospect.

Is it even worth trying a triple option coach?

I mean there's not much more of a 'zag' than that. And KU would be a pain in the ass to prepare for on offense. Recruiting would be a little easier because you're not out there trying to snag 4* passers. You can chase the old school option QBs in a softer market for them and a couple of RBs (easier to find/coach up than WRs).

It unquestionably puts a ceiling on the program but wouldn't it also seem to raise the floor? They're not winning 10 games doing that but they shouldn't lose 10 either.

I'm more than certain HCBS is done after this season.

That's quite a bold statement.

Didn't he sign a 5 year extension a few months ago?

Fair point though. They don’t want to have to compete with K State for available coaches.

Maybe. I forget if it was you or someone else on the board but it sounded like he wasnt going to step down until his son was the HC.

Yes he did, but his buyout is roughly $3 million, if he was "terminated". But if he were to resign (retirement will fit this one), chances are he will go to a "Special Ambassador" type of a role, and there is no buyout being paid out, the way I understand it by reading his contract, which can be found online.

He has been told, more or less, Sean is not going to be a HC. Now, how accurate that is, I do not know, but it has been out there for quite some time. So I doubt that is an option.

Plus, if you have watched his post-game pressers recently, he's making comments that I have never really heard him say is before prior to last year or the year before. This is the first time I recall him ever throwing a player under the bus (Zuber) publicly. Not to mention a few others, such as:

- Corey Sutton situation
- Yokel (Kellis - the reporter)
- Six inches
- write what the hell you want to write
- anybody else?
- Midget (our kicker).

And you have reason to believe this will happen?

Other than the play on the field of course.

I believe KSU can't handle the bad PR of forcing out Snyder.

I do. I truly believe it's time for Snyder to retire.

Re: Bad PR. You'd be surprised actually. Quite a few KSU fans I interact is ready for Snyder to move on, because of the product on the field, and the recruiting situation.

The ones who's defending Snyder are the true fans/homer/cults type of individuals, which is a minority.

Fair enough. I try to steer clear of talking KSU ball in these parts.

Fair enough on your comment. I apologize for hijacking the thread. Hope KU can find someone like a Matt Campbell type, like how Iowa State did.

Agreed.

I told my buddy the other day, it's hard to win 10 games a year. It's also hard to lose 10 consistently.

absolutely not on any type of gimmick offenses

Ok, HCBS refers to self. Not Snyder. Only Self had a title

Meh. I see what you’re saying. But they used to call the spread concepts that Fatgono ran a gimmick too. Now everybody does it.

Maybe in the midwest? West coast had been running the spread for a while.

So, who's got Mangino's phone number? Is there a Golden Corral in Lawrence??

Yeah, that annoys the heck out of me. I'm so used to seeing people refer to Self as HCBS on forums that it took me a bit to realize that he was talking about Snyder. Just type Bill Snyder, plz.

HCBS should hang it up for in Manhattan.

Neg rep

When they get done with Bill Snyder how long til they bring him back?

I'm so sick and tired of HCBS and want gone.
