    Long time lurker, first time poster here. Rather unbelievably, even what you wrote doesn't do how awful KU has been justice. Kansas hasn't won more than 1 conference game in a season since 2008.

  • We’re back bitches!!!

  • A lifetime of being a KU FB fan has taught me to have low expectations, but hope for the best. I think Leipold has turned KU into a legitimate team far faster than expected. It is not just being 3-0,

Geez, what does the brain trust do with Beatty now? Fire him and start over AGAIN. Or say fuck it and give him another year?

I think you gotta give him another year to keep that recruiting class together.  Fire him and that dude may decommit, then what you got?

This is the dilemma.  We have 2 winable games on the schedule with ISU and KSU.  Not a chance we can fire him with 5 wins.  4 wins might be iffy.  Nicholls might be the game that cost him his job at the end of the day.  But, let's say he wins 5 games this year.  We have 25 graduating, multiple guys are shopping for their next school, and 1 guy coming in.  We might have 45 guys on scholly next year.  Which means another 0-2 win season and just pushing the rebuild back another year because Beaty's lazy ass is not going to recruit if he doesn't have a guaranteed job at the end of the year.

I think when it is all said and done, we fire him more because of recruiting than anything else.  God I hope he gets fired.  Based on the group I head (saveksfb.com) and their feelings, if Beaty lasts to the end of the season Jeff Long is going to come under fire.  If Beaty gets one more year then I would look at all out mutiny from the football fan base.

Do you think those two guys can take Jeff Long?

I'm worried that Pooka will transfer after this season because his talent is being wasted in Lawrence, though i wouldn't hold it against him either.

Iowa State is going to prison rape you. You have a better chance at beating Texas.

If all of this is true I don't see how KU doesn't fire Beaty.  And that's with a win vs. us this weekend, which, I happen to agree is winnable for KU.  It just seems like short of a Bowl birth; KU recognizes that Beaty will just start the cycle over next year.  KU football will just be spinning their wheels.  He's had enough time at KU to get to a six win season.

Like it was with us and Charlie Strong, when you start asking yourself what games he has to win to save his job, it is time to move on.

Here's the kicker... he's holding KU hostage.  He won't recruit because he doesn't know that he has a job.  If he somehow got 5 wins and retained his job this year he would be fucking himself for next year.  Then he wouldn't recruit next year because he wouldn't put the effort in if he thought he would be fired after a 2 win season. Which means we'd have 2 recruiting classes of 5-10 players and as many as 50 players leave the program over this year and the end of next year.  In 2020 we'd have like 30 kids on scholarship.

We need to lose this weekend so we can fire him.  The sooner the better is the truth.  Name Tony Hull the head coach and let him keep recruiting.  Tell the new staff Tony's job is safe.

Local news here saying Ned Beatty got fired.

Get Les Miles into this shitshow. He can't be anywhere near as bad as the trio of dunces before him.

Not a fan of firing mid season but their season is essentially done and recruiting is a disaster so it makes sense.

with the early signing period this will become more common for programs.

So if you're the interim coach do you just start playing every warm body on the roster at this point in the season to get them some experience?

You think the coaches considered that when they all wanted it?  I'm thinking they didn't, definitely not all of them.

I guess at this point if you have people that haven't played at all they can still Redshirt and still play All 4 games that remain on the schedule. Or is it three? I don't know

You think Kansas beats Kansas State this coming Saturday..? I am not so sure, but I guess it's possible...

What’s the benefit of announcing you’re firing the guy in three weeks? Either fire him now or just announce it after the Texas game.

They are doing everything they can to hold that recruiting class together.

Hopefully Herman makes a call to Beatty

Not sure how well Beatty knows defense but it’s probably better than Todd Orlando

Their one commitment for next year is just hanging on by a thread imo.

This son of a bitch better be in crimson and blue before 2019...

Oh man, caught a painful bit of his post game weekly show on the radio last night.  Talked about a lot of what if's and almosts from the game Saturday.  Shit was just sad to listen to.

One undersized three star running back.

Just saw a news release that LSU and miles have agreed to a one time payout on the $6.5mm they owe him.  He's getting $1.5mm immediately.

The fucking smoke is insanely thick and I'm going to have to go 3 inches and a cloud of dust on my shank here at the office.

Well, Kansas just did wonders for their season ticket sales in year 1, not sure about much else.

Does Les eat astroturf?

Apparantly 

Happy for Kansas. They have been through hell and this is coming from a Tennessee fan. 

Looks like the grass eater and KU have reached a deal. I wonder what our offense possibly will be under him but whatever it's gotta be better than the last three losers right? If Bill Snyder retires after this year KU has some hope to build at least a mediocre to average program. Maybe.

I can't help but wonder if this will be Charlie Weiss 2.0 for KU.

I guess we'll wait on the contract details.

I'm not sold on miles as the x and o coach to turn their roster into a winning team, but I do think he carries enough weight to boost recruiting at least a bit which is a huge need for them.

While not to the same degree, this is a bit like aggy and Jimbo.  Haven't done anything in the field to get recruits excited to play for your school?  Hire someone who has and maybe they'll come play for him.

At best, he still has some good years in him and helps turn it around.  At worst, I think he'll leave the next guy with more talent than he inherited.  Feels like about as good a hire as ku could hope for at this point.
