I keep telling him that he didn't have a chance to succeed early on and that nobody would have had success with the shit show that was left after Carlie Wies. Gill followed by Weis. Could we have picked two worse coaches to take over the football program? The cupboard was pretty bare as far as talent. It doesn't matter how good a coach you are, if you don't have talent you won't win.

I think you give Beaty another year. The program is going the right direction albeit slowly due to the aforementioned AIDS forest fire Weis and Gill left.

The execution isn't good. That should probably be there by year 2, but maybe some of that is personnel. Particularly at QB.

I don't know what the answer is but it doesn't appear to be the train wreck Gill and Weis had despite the record so I think you roll again.

I think the future is bright with Stanley at QB.

I mean, just from watching games this season I do think there are some head scratching game management moves from Beaty, but it is the guys second year. He essentially came in here and started a program from scratch. You definitely have to give him another year. I think the team has been far more competitive this year compared to the last 2 or 3 seasons. I think if he was fired at this point there would be a huge rallying cry from the players.

Congrats on doing something Nebraska could never do

What gave that impression? I recall he made one good throw, surrounded by about 15 bad ones.

Jayhawks Named National Team of the Week

Quote:

LAWRENCE, Kan. – Fresh off its 24-21 overtime win over Texas, Kansas has been named the National Team of the Week by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA). The come-from-behind win marked KU's first over UT since 1938 and snapped a 19-game Big 12 Conference losing skid.

Bending, but not breaking against the run all day, Kansas' defense came up with an extraordinarily clutch stop against the NCAA's leading rusher, UT's D'Onta Foreman, on fourth-and-5 with 58 seconds left allowing redshirt freshman quarterback Carter Stanley a chance to orchestrate a game-tying drive against Texas Saturday afternoon inside Memorial Stadium.

Stanley answered the call with a 52-yard drive to get KU into field goal range for senior kicker Matthew Wyman to tie the contest at 21-21, from 36 yards away with seven seconds remaining in regulation. Perhaps the unsung hero of the contest was wide receiver Steven Sims Jr., who wrestled away an interception in the end zone after an errant pass would have sealed the game for Texas. On the second play of overtime freshman safety Mike Lee snatched KU's sixth takeaway of the game, setting up a Wyman 25-yard field goal to knock off the Longhorns and claim KU's first Big 12 Conference victory since 2014, 24-21.

The valiant defensive effort allowed the Jayhawks (2-9, 1-7 Big 12), who were down by 11 points in the fourth quarter to Texas (5-6, 3-5 Big 12), an opportunity to send the game to an extra period and eventually win the contest. The defense scored the team's first touchdown and secured four of its six total turnovers on four-straight possessions in the second quarter as five Jayhawk defenders recorded 11 or more tackles—led by sophomore defense end Dorance Armstrong Jr., who contributed a career-best 11 total tackles (9 solos) 2.0 sacks, 3.0 TFLs a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in the win.

The Football Writers Association of America's National Team of the Week was created as part of the Grantland Rice Super 16 Poll in 2002. Since then, it has been awarded each Monday during the regular season by various committees that have included members of the FWAA All-America Committee, the association's board of directors and its past presidents. Kansas has won the award on two previous occasions: following a win over Missouri on Nov. 29, 2008 and following a road win at Texas A&M on Oct. 27, 2007.

In addition to being named National Team of the Week by the FWAA, Armstrong and Wyman picked up weekly awards by the Big 12 Conference following the win over Texas.

UP NEXT: Kansas closes out the regular season when the Jayhawks travel to in-state rival Kansas State, Saturday, November 26. Kickoff against the Wildcats in the Dillons Sunflower Showdown is slated for 11 a.m., with the broadcast designated to FOX Sports

I don't pay much attention to recruiting any longer. Give me the run down.

A 4-star CB with offers from Florida, OU and other powerhouses and a 4-star WR, who's like top 10 in the nation at his position.

A LOT of optimism about the program right now. Beaty is doing an amazing job, IMO.
