KU Football 2021 off season thread

[NewtonHawk11]

Ya know, they talked about a KU guy. Goff is a true blue KU guy. Grew up in Kansas, went to Kansas, worked at Kansas. Could be the potential Northwestern AD, Kansas is lucky to have him.

Think this is a good hire.

But football is the ultimate test, and he has to nail this hire. Still think Fritz or Monken are the guys they are going to hire if it’s not Jones.

I am fine with Goff, but that move doesn't by any means guarantee us a top football coach candidate.

[NewtonHawk11]

It doesn't, but Long promised that and it went nowhere.

I think Monken and Fritz are desperate for a P5 opportunity, I think Kansas has the leverage with them. Should be fun to watch what happens the next few weeks when Goff takes over and starts doing his thing.

Poor Matt Tait out at the Lawrence airport staking out ADs and Coaches. Why isn't he just using flight tracker like the rest of us?

[NewtonHawk11]

Goff all but official. Decided end of last week I guess.

Either let Jones have the gig or hire Monken. It would be great to have everyone in major roles under the age of 60. Some youthful exuberance into the program.

Athletic reporting Goff to be Kansas AD

[NewtonHawk11]

National media loving the hire.

Dodd mentioned deal is about done.

Ready for Goff. We need a guy who is great at development and fundraising, and that is his specialty.

He looks like a cheese dick

I like the Goff hire because I think the combination of learning under Jim Phillips at Northwestern and having experience at KU is valuable.

BTW, Lance Leipold and Willie Fritz both have the same agent as Pat Fitzgerald....

[NewtonHawk11]

Only 41 years old. Damn.

Tait saying official announcement this afternoon.

Says the 3 names he constantly has heard are Fritz, Monken and Leipold.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Leipold my first preference by far.

[UnholyLivingDead]

I like the sound of all of that.

[CrimsonNBlue]

coach searches: tennis? rowing?

[NewtonHawk11]

Any concern his own employer hasn’t hired him yet but he’s involved in search process..?

[NewtonHawk11]

Again, Bryson is a bit of a dweeb, but he’s been very accurate. He says it’s either Leipold or Jones as HC in the fall.

[CrimsonNBlue]

I still think we are some time out on a HC hire.

[NewtonHawk11]

I think you have to hire someone by May if you hire someone new for 2021. After that, you wait until November/December.
