Kansas Score
- Thread starter State43
- Start date
Keep in mind that this isn't the Duke FB team of old. That being said, that score is still more lopsided than most people predicted.
They should have stuck with Gill a year or two longer if for no other reason it would have made them less tied to the next guy. Charlie was telling people he was only going to be there a few years after he just got hired, even if it's true that's a horrible way to start building a program, let alone that the guy's ability as a head coach is questionable to say the least.
Tbh, I don't really think Kansas was in this big of a rut when Weis took over. I feel like they have gotten worse if that is somehow possible. Is he still running them on like 80% of their plays?
Are they still paying Gill? I assume the only reason Weis is still around is because the boosters are tired of buying out football coaches.
And geez, I think I saw that score in the 3rd quarter and it was a couple possession game.
No brainer. Central Michigan is decent. Guess KU should not have bball recruits go to the game.
They were absolutely horrendous when Gill was fired. I don't think they are worse, but I also don't think they are better.
Gill was in the process of building what was supposed to be a 4-5 year project. He got the rug pulled out from under him mid way. We know all too well that re-building a program in today's college football landscape is a very tough thing to accomplish. I try not to laugh too hard at Kansas, because we're only a few injuries, bad luck and a bad coordinator away from ending up in that position.
I don't think Kansas is better under Weis and he's done all kinds of things to indicate he's a short-timer. Kansas is terrible, and I expect them to pull the plug on him at the end of the season, barring winning 4-5 games. I think the next guy will need a longer time horizon and it has to be the right guy. The fan base is a little impatient though, is my sense. It's a weird fan base IMO. They say that they don't care about football, but I think they are kind of like us, in that they want to be respectable and be around .500 and in the bowl talk. There is plenty of money around KU - they just need the right guy and to give him 6 or 7 years. How could the outcomes be worse than what they are seeing now. They were idiots to force Mangino out, and everyone around here that I talk to knows this and wish they had never got rid of him.
"Samesies."
Still, too bad KU! I have no problem with everyone in the conference keeping their foot on their throat.
Gill's 2nd year was beyond pathetic. They were setting Big 12 records I bad ways. That team was just flat out uncompetitive in 2011. They actually seemed to slip quite a bit from 2010 to 2011 even though it only resulted in 1 less win.
Gill really took KU football to the ground. Unless they hire Nick Saban, I don't think KU football is going anywhere.
