It's kind of a conundrum. On one hand, this season is "better" than usual for them perhaps that's due to some continuity. On the other hand, with lots of seniors graduating and a 1-man (yes, 1-man) recruiting class coming in, there isn't a lot of hope.

It's a train wreck either way with no great answer.

seems like a mistake, but as someone else pointed out, they have a lot of starters that are seniors, and they still are not good. Yeah, they are definitely better, and are not total garbage, but this might be the best they get under him too.

The fun thing about KU FB searches is that they go out and find someone worse than the incompetent guy you would expect them to find.

Not saying he was the coach to bring them back to a bowl team, but come on you can’t fire coaches every 3-4 years and expect to build a winning program. I should say 3-4 years at a school like Kansas.
Exactly this is why they’ve been so bad. They fire coaches to quickly and then aren’t able to actually build anything.

Dan McCarney ain't walking through that door, Kansas

Wait. Actually if you paid him enough he could walk through that door.

Man knows all about turning a program with horse **** facilities or at least keeping the fans happy enough while working on turning a program.

No doubt about it. Play with class.

They've signed ONE player? You think he's second-guessing his decision? :) Man, that's a weird situation.

Absolutely ridiculous to fire him until they get stadium renovations funded. Nobody can effectively recruit there until that is done.

Their AD had to be embarrassed by the entire product on and off the field today.

Hilarious. Beaty is actually a good coach. And that they fired him now, a week after a win, just shows what a black hole that program is.
