Here's the thing. No one is going to work harder, be more loyal, and have a better understanding and passion for ku football than Bowen. He's 45, a Larryville native, ku alum, relates to his players, a good recruiter, has been a DC and knows the B12. His next most logical step is HC. Unless ku can put together a HR hire (which I doubt), why would you want to hire anyone else? ku needs to think in terms of building a Program, and less about flash. Weis was all hat and no cattle (ku's version of Ron Prince - with less success). Radio was in over his head from day 1. Bowen is your guy.

I'm actually okay with this*. Good post.
* I reserve the right to to change my mind if KU looks worse as the conference season goes on.
