This thread sux. imo.
Well Lance The Wizard of Div3 has not hired a coordinator since his days in Div 3. You starting to see the problem. It will come to you eventually.RainbowsandUnicorns wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 7:24 pm
Not so dumb question time....
Did KU not realize Grimes wasn't good a BU?
That would have been the move if someone would have been allowed to take the Div 3 Wizard away from us. Say someone hired LL which was used to get some nice raises. Then we promote AK to HC.
You'd think that KU fans would have learned their lesson from the Mangino firing but apparently not. Firing a coach because you got your hopes up and it didn't work out is corny and childish. The entire KU roster and staff looks like they didn't properly prepare for the season and it has bit them. Daniels seems to have rested on his past achievements while resting his back and is now suffering from rust and bad decision making. If he performs even reasonably close to what was expected of him then KU is 4-0 right now.
There have to be consequences for underperformance; otherwise, people get complacent and it becomes the norm.twocoach wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 12:22 pmYou'd think that KU fans would have learned their lesson from the Mangino firing but apparently not.

You forgot Option C: fire what you have only to find that the pool of coaches available to hire to replace him (AKA the coaches who don't currently HAVE A JOB) results in the team being even worse than before.JKLivin wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 1:36 pmThere have to be consequences for underperformance; otherwise, people get complacent and it becomes the norm.twocoach wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 12:22 pmYou'd think that KU fans would have learned their lesson from the Mangino firing but apparently not.

When KSUck was struggling offensively, Bill Snyder used to tell the coaches over the headsets, “We either score on this drive, or one of you will be unemployed tomorrow.” Apparently it worked for them.
Sending Grimey packing and/or benching Daniels for the TCU game might light a fire under some unmotivated rear ends. Or, just keep making excuses, lose out the season, and play to an empty new stadium next season.
I don’t much care for Option B.
Uh, Mangino got fired for consistently mistreating athletes to the point that they said something.twocoach wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 12:22 pm

We have had much more success hiring up and comers who were successful at lower levels than hiring coaches who have been let go at other places, regardless of how successful they might have been at one time.

He was an abusive bully. Old School is how I think many would define it. Parents of my parents age would have supported such behavior. Half a generation + later, nah. Today, forget about it.
None of that really matters though. Uh, the hopes wouldn't have been up if results hadn't happened. With MOSTLY this same group of players. Corny and childish? GTFOH. It's not a lack of preparation is hard to call, which seems like it's saying they aren't trying or didn't give it their best (players and coaches). I doubt either is true. Simply, some bad breaks have happened, coupled with mistakes from players and a switch of schemes on offense, which has produced less results.
My Penn State best friend was bewildered that PSU was beating Ball State with trick plays. It was motion, switching fields, etc. He's not used to that at PSU. I told him to get used to it, as it's how AK confuses and distresses D's with his playcalling and formations.
A lot of this is on coaching. Some of it on bad luck (truly). Some of it on JD6, in particular.

I’m not sure what they can do play calling - wise when your QB can’t be depended upon to either a) make a good read and complete a pass or b) not fumble the ball away when pressured. The opposing defense starts keying on the run game pretty quickly.Back2Lawrence wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 5:09 pmUh, Mangino got fired for consistently mistreating athletes to the point that they said something.twocoach wrote: ↑Tue Sep 24, 2024 12:22 pm
