New AD isn't gonna stand for this kind of 'progress'.

How bad is his class next year? 5 out of 5 turds?

1 recruit so far. 2*

Word going around Twitter (Petro) and campus is that Beaty has been canned. Announcement supposedly tomorrow. Could be BS, but it’s picking up steam.

Lots of smoke about Les Miles. What do you all think of that possibility? And, if not him, who would you prefer?

Les could bring them from the depth of hell to 6-6/8-4 type seasons in 3-5 years. Be regular at bowl games....

What more would a KU fan want?

The only thing about Miles to me is that he's 64. How long would he coach? another 3-5 years then we'd be in the same boat? I dunno... i guess it's better than what we've been dealing with the past 10 seasons.

Les will have the clout to hand it off to someone legit when he’s ready to step down. I doubt he would leave the program in the dumpster like every joke since the big Twinkie was here.

I think we finally have an AD who knows WTF he's doing, especially when it comes to finding a good football coach. So, even if Miles were hired and he left after 4-5 years, I have faith that Long could get another good coach. And Miles would have the program in good shape by that point.

All I want as a KU football fan is for them to not have losing records. I would like them to be in a bowl game pretty much every year and once every few years, they challenge for a New Year's Day bowl game (by getting to 10-2/11-1). I don't think that's too much to ask.

That’s all any of us want.... something to celebrate and look forward too.

Les Miles would be a hoot, at least

I'd be pretty happy with Miles. He is a legit HC.

I can't bring myself to give much of a damn.

But I can't see Miles not getting ****ing crushed by Big 12 offenses without SEC defenses.

But yeah. I won't throw a fit either way.

considering our past AD was so bad that he was trying to do hundreds of miliions of dollars of fundraising to build up a football stadium that only gets about 10-15k attendance because the team is so bad. Long at least understands that we need to improve the team and put cash towards that instead of a stadium.

He’s throwing cash on top of the stadium, not instead of.

3-0 KU at the half!

Let's all chip in to get a banner to Save David Bayty!

Awesome conservative game plan that would make Herm proud! Got 'em right where we want em!

Welcome to the cellar KSUck.

Beaty is a nutless coward and a dog shit coach.

Hey that was pretty cool - he managed to turn 3 points into 0 points after the running into the kicker penalty. Leader of men.

Les Miles name has been thrown around as a replacement for Barry Odom and meh. He has a championship and is in his mid 60's--not convinced he isn't looking for anything more than one more payday.

It was inspiring!

Lmao if KU wins

Huge run by KU, flag.

Huge run by KU, flag.

Can’t send Old balls off without a sunflower showdown win.

Those calls.

Breathtaking clock management

Beaty makes Andy Reid look amazing in the clock management department

Fitting end to Beaty HC tenure.

I'm so glad Beatty is done. Wish we weren't stuck with his lame duck season.


Does bill snyder even know where he is?

Both absolutely horse crap calls. Neither was anything other than a routine block allowed on every damn play the rest of the game. Hell, there were blocks much closer to holding on several of the purples go ahead TD drive. Sofaking ridiculous.

from JayhawkSlant on twitter. Long has talked to D.J. Durkin about the KU job.

LMAO

I have complete confidence KU will **** up hiring Beattys replacement

NOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s the Jayhawk way.

I’m confident they will also.

No! We will all eat grass and sing Kumbuya!

I dont think how Durkin coaches is much different than anyone else - but it would be a PR nightmare. You just can't do it.

AD LOng was hired to make a splash AND to fix this program. Hiring anyone other than a home run hire will equal in backlash and Bad PR.

Don’t jerk is around Long.

Long denied reports of meeting with Durkin

Who is the last splash that worked out?

Probably Urban Meyer.

After that?
Has Harbaugh lives up to expectations?
Chip Kelly?
Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards?
Lane Kiffin? At any of the stops he made?

**** making a splash for the sake of making a splash. Get some one who can recruit and coach.

All of those have worked out pretty well actually

That would be remarkably reeruned.

This rumor was so false that Long himself took to Twitter to discredit it.

Guys are 'splash' hires precisely because they can recruit.

The underappreciated position coach will take years to develop recruiting cache and that just won't work at KU. They need to challenge a 5-6 win season in the first couple of years to give themselves a foundation to build on.

It's gonna be a lot easier to do that with a Miles sort who has relationships with key coaches that can jump-start that process.

That's what he just wants you to think! Not surprising. I don't think he'll ever get another NCAA job again (at least he never ever should).

MUH HARBAH THO

Agreed. The worst part was that Maryland administration initially voted to re-instate him... and only fired him because players literally walked out on him.
Long would be answering to Chancellor Girod and a bunch of very angry donors if he made a hire that stupid.

"Aqib Talib is too slow. He will be an NFL bust" - Cochise, NFL draftnik, 2008 draft analysis ^^^

You guys can have Odom if you want, all you gotta do is ask nice. I mean, he's no peach but he's better than anyone you'll be able to land. Think of it as a gesture of goodwill between our peoples.

It wouldnt be a sexy hire but Dave Doren would be a great get. He has Kansas roots, was great at Northern Illinois, and has had 1 losing year at NC State which was his first. He knows how to develope talent (Bradley Chubb anyone?)

I get the appeal of Miles but it's so much easier recruiting at an SEC school. His offenses the last few years at LSU were really really bad.

he was 39th in offense in 2016 and 77th in 2015 thats not really really bad lmao

2015 9th in total defense and 2016 25th

Then why did he get fired? I mean it's one thing when you put 60 on The Citadel but look at those losing streaks. The offense was total shit and that guy had NFL talent.

because LSU thinks they're some kind of all time great football program

They are easily a top 10 program and with the right coach top 5

To be fair there is a truly insane amount of talent in the state of louisianna.

IT'S HAPPENING

I would love to get Doren, but his buyout may be way too high.

That's before mentioning that he already has a championship and is old. How much is he really going to care if KU isn't turned around on his watch?

It's probably for Ed Orangutan errr....Ogeron

LSU announces settlement with former football coach Les Miles
 

http://www2.kusports.com/news/2018/n...-les/?football

This says to me that the guy is ready to get back into coaching. I think he will be coaching next year, whether that be at KU or somewhere else.

And this is another guy KU is considering. I like his resume.

As an offensive coordinator, yes. DO NOT WANT, as head coach

Nicholls earns FCS playoff bid and share of Southland title (8-3)

http://www.espn.com/college-football...meId=401030223

Couldn't win the Nicholls Bowl - but at least won the Horned Toad bowl! (it's not a Frog - it's a ****ing toad - and they claim to be of higher education)

Because he didn't beat Saban every other year and their AD is an idiot.

Les Miles squandered a lot of talent for years. LSU was right to fire him, they just made a baffling choice in his replacement.

We're Kansas.

We'll take Les Miles.

Anyday. Any time.

It's a little different than the Charlie Weis situation. Les Miles has sustainable success and has proven he can build programs (at Okie State too)

Miles to KU

https://www.si.com/college-football/...coach-contract

Les Miles is exactly the type of hire Kansas needs... big name, will excite the program, and a good recruiter.

Obviously he has his limitations as a championship caliber HC, but wouldn't building a program that is consistently bowl eligible and wins 7-8 games a year be enough to satisfy KU fans as they pass the time until basketball season begins each fall?

I'll take 7 wins a year all day everyday.

Fun!

We gun b gewd!

KU now has national champion coaches in basketball AND football!!!

Winnaz, Big 12 is shakin' in they boots!

In 2021!

But yeah, I'm excited.

We will be better next year because we will lack the incompetence we had prior. Big question now is who will the O coordinator be?

A much better coach than KU deserves after they destroyed the program in the past decade.
