Thankfully, Earle Bruce was not fired after his third consecutive 4-7 season. Glad we did not listen to those fans.

In none of those years did Earle Bruce finish last in the big 8. In none of those years did he go 0-fer in conference either.
Also there's a big difference between year 3 and year 7
If KU isn't a gimme, then I don't know what is. To call them the worst team ever assembled by a power five conference program is probably hyperbole but holy crap are they awful. Not only are they not going to win a conference game, I think they'll struggle to keep any conference game within two touchdowns.
this isn't last years Kansas team, which is saying something when last years team only won 3 games.
They lost by 32 to memphis for crying out loud.
I don't know what you've been watching for the past 2 years. There are no gimmes for us. Like I said before, we're KU to KU. They're looking at us as one of their few chances for a win the same way we're looking at them like that.
Yea, Lanning is not the answer now or in the future. Worse, we don't have the answer at QB on the roster.
Yea, you're right... lets just sit back and hope Paul Rhoads is the next Earle Bruce. After all, why should we have any sort of urgency for a program that is the front door of our university.
2 weeks into the season and people are already jumping! Best time of year with college football, let the season play out before assuming!
Assumption if the mother of all F*** ups
Nice start to the day Mr. Optimistic, the clones are a 4-6 win team if all come together and play better than average both ways. Yes, if we win only 2 games and underperform to my expectations CPR will be gone and yes Hawkeyes are not much better than us (if only by their win over us) and should win 6-8 games in the EASY B10 schedule again and CKF will be gone also.
I said we should start 5-0 and struggle to get 2 wins last 7 games, well I'm down to 4-1 and same last 7 games and planning on going BOWLING, how's that for optimism? I rather look at it this way after first 2 games then your way this early.
I think that's exactly what worries most of the negative posters here. With the way this team has played the last couple of years, I don't think our only issues are with the players and their talent level. For me, it's mainly development. It's difficult to look at many of the returning players we have and say they are vastly improved over last year or the year before. Especially in the QB area.
I'd like to see that statement proven on the field. You may very well be right but we have mountains of evidence that SR isn't the answer so what's the harm in trying? Another 2 win season? Noooooooooooooooo
Sam isn't great I'll give you that. He is not terrible either. He has not been the problem the last two years. It's a team sport. Put a Boykin on this team and do you really think we would be that much better. Maybe he gets us an extra win a year, possibly 2. So were still a none bowl team. The problems are so much greater than that. Sam is a solid college QB. However if we are 1-4 after the first five games we I'm all for seeing what Lanning had got for next year.
So basically what you're saying is that if we could win another game this year with a QB switch it isn't worth it because Sam is a good guy and a 5th year? That pretty much encapsulates this program and the majority of the fanbase right now.
In the last fifty or so years the only "step-ups" that come to mind are Florida State and Boise State (at one time a JUCO).
SBR could not even see his right pinkie when he threw the ball as so many Hoks hands were waving in the air. He could not see his targets to throw it.
