KU HC David Beaty has been fired

How weird would this scenario be:
Snyder dicks around and doesn't retire, and KU fires their coach, and under the table offers Venables $5 mil.
 
I don’t want to spend too much time on Miles because I honestly don’t see it happening, but Kansas needs someone that can change the culture first and foremost, not someone that will immediately get them winning 6+ games. You can’t have the latter without the former.

Not sure if the KU administration understands that. A slow build is required, but who knows if they will actually wait that long.
 
CBS shortlist:

Miles
Troy guy
App state guy
NC State HC
Tulane HC
Candle
Army HC
Bama OC
Eastern Michigan guy
Some LA Rams

Miles (best option, but his age is a factor)
Troy guy (maybe)
App state guy (maybe)
NC State HC (I understand why he's on the list, but he'd be a fool to leave NC State)
Tulane HC (Really? Tulane hasn't done crap the past 4+ years)
Candle (will wait to get a better gig)
Army HC (possibly, but not many colleges like running that style of offense)
Bama OC (haha nope)
Eastern Michigan guy (Really? Eastern Michigan hasn't done crap the past 4+ years)
 
This KU job is a career killer in every sense. I don't see anyone turning it around in less than 4 years, and KU hasn't shown any interest in giving anyone any longer. The facilities suck, the fan support sucks, the roster sucks, the recruiting class doesn't even exist. And even if you manage to get the program back to bowl contention, you are still a distant second to the basketball program.

Spot on. KU fans will come out and support the football team if a dramatic turnaround occurs, but they will not even feign interest for less than immediate success. They have been completely spoiled by their basketball success and are the definition of entitled.

There may be some parallels to our past football woes and KU's current situation, but fan support isn't remotely close. Whatever coach replaces Beatty is going to have to perform a miracle in under 3 years just to be able to keep his job long enough for the fans to start giving a ****.
 
honestly thought this was an error at first. I'd say the only person that should take this job, is someone who needs a check, has a great financial planner, and a great agent who will negotiate an intense buyout clause.

Where things stand today, is there any P5 program that could make the case for being a worse job than KU? It is going to be pretty tough to land your choice when pretty much any other job offer is a better offer.

I can't remember if KU had decent fan support for Mangino or not. Even if they had a miracle and won 6 games next year, I still don't think anyone would show up.
 
Kansas beat Rutgers by half a dozen touchdowns....

True. But since KUs last bowl game in 2008, Rutgers has been to 5 bowl games, winning 3 of them. I don't know if Rutgers is a clear cut worse job.

Right now? I think so. KU was going to win 3-4 games, which is awful, but Rutgers is in a different world and not moving forward. KU was moving in a positive direction. Slowly, but they were moving that way.

Recruiting was going to kill them. They probably had to do this to sell hope.
 
So... How many FB coaches is Kansas paying now and will be paying next year? That can't be cheap. But at least they have AddiaS to help them.
