Can we all promise not to overreact to the introductory presser?

With all signs pointing to Monken, it sounds like his detailed plan really won over Goff and the search committee. Apparently he came into the interviews with a detailed plan and a coaching staff mostly laid out. I like the idea of "best plan wins". This has to be considered as close to a home run hire KU could get for a football coach given the last 10+ years.

He will most likely bring his defensive coordinator Nate Woody with him. Word is that was a big part of his plan when we he was preparing to make a run at this job.

Re: KU Football 2021 off season thread
Phew! Really like this outcome!
Re: KU Football 2021 off season thread
Plus, Monken really wants to be here.

Yeah don’t think this is the case with Monken. If it is, it’s because he got hired on by a better program.

Re: KU Football 2021 off season thread
WTF.....you guys go off on tangents that absolutely make no sense. Do you even have a clue who the HC's are at these schools. They pay way more than us and they are never ever going to hire Leipold.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 10:18 amPurdue/Cuse: easier rebuilds, but KU fan expectations are super low.

If you know you're one year away from multiple P5 offers, you can require KU to back up the Brinks truck...and demand whatever you want. If they agree, great, you get your power 5 job a year sooner, if they don't you get a better gig in a year.UnholyLivingDead wrote: ↑Wed Apr 28, 2021 10:06 am
That's a great point. If we hire Monken, it might not necessarily be because we picked Monken, it might mean Leipold said no because he knows he can parlay one more year in the MAC into a serious payday this fall.
Leipold said no so he going to get a much better P5 job next year.....deep deep tangent. Totally clueless but a tangent.
Look we could have hired Monken instead of Miles. His was the best name tied to KU.
Freaking AD... my little brother could have hired Monken or Leipold. Speaking of brothers we should have hired Monken's brother. That would have been a good hire.

Will admit I did not realize Brohm made so much but know that Louisville recently tried to pluck him. But, Miles made more than Babers, and pre-pandemic numbers show KU had more revenue than either school.

Re: KU Football 2021 off season thread
I have to admit that I didn't think we paid Les that much and I think I was talking about Monken's cousin not his brother.

Re: KU Football 2021 off season thread
I have been melting down since the MAGIC man got fired. Did not pay that much attention to Gill getting hired but since then I have been like WTF we can not be that stupid. Everyone in the world knew that no one was hiring Fat boy Charlie or Wheel Chair Les. But we did. Beaty was what you get for 800K, who you getting for 800K nobody, which is about the same as Beaty. Fat boy Charlie put KU football program six feet under the ground and then Beaty showed up with dump trucks of gravel and poured them on the grave making sure the resurrection would be that much harder.
I am telling you right now if Goff walked through the door and said I found my coach and it's Div 3 Leipold or TO Monken it would be a hard conversation. First off WTF did we hire you when we could have got those two without you so obviously we do not need you. I recommend you call NW and see if you can get your old job back cause you are done here.
