We’ll have a new coach by May 1st. These next 10 days are going to be wild.NewtonHawk11 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:19 amKind of what I thought too. New Coach takes in the final part of spring practice/spring game.UnholyLivingDead wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 8:01 amJones, Drake, and Jackson need to stick around whoever the new coach is. I also wouldn't be surprised or mind to see Eargle be on a new staff. What are the odds Goff makes a run at his guy and he gets introduced at the spring game May 1? Obviously just speculation but I could see something like that happening.NewtonHawk11 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 08, 2021 7:56 am
We're in agreeance. I do think that if an outside hire is made, I wouldn't be surprised if Jones, Drake and Chevis Jackson stick around. But I think that is a ways down the road. I do also think that a decision will be made one way or the other by end of April.
If it doesn't happen then, it's probably Jones.
I just don't think Jones has the experience yet. But make him the Assistant HC and OC. Keep him and the players happy.
Those two are for sure you went the wrong way. Monken has a serious problem in that the offense that he has always coached with does not really fly at KU. If you take away his offense and he runs something from the 21st century then he is not really the same coach.NewtonHawk11 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 16, 2021 1:28 pm Can't go wrong with either of those. Slope gets slippery if you move beyond Monken and Leipold.
I mean it was pretty obvious it was Miles in 2018. It seems pretty obvious that it's going to be Monken or Leipold.
I 100% hope I'm wrong. My opinion mirrors hartjack's for the most part; both are good coaches, but the hole is so deep, I'm not sure how anyone pulls this program out of it.NewtonHawk11 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 18, 2021 2:22 pmReasonings not saying you won’t be wrong or anything, just curious.
Where I would start is not making 4 costly hires in a row.InfiniteJ wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 11:11 amI 100% hope I'm wrong.

Step 1 was completed with Miles.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 11:20 am Miles was of that mold and had the ring to go with it.
Miles was insanely qualified for the job and the football side of the hire was going about as well as could have realistically hoped when he was justifiably fired for other reasons.
I think we have tried it all, and this time you really just have shade towards the safe options. Build over several hires . . . we have been at this losing thing for well over a decade.
Interesting/great take; not sure I've ever heard the "build over several hires" philosophy before.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 11:20 am Miles was of that mold and had the ring to go with it.

I think that is premature only because we will have to see what kind of player losses we take if/when a completely new staff is brought in.NewtonHawk11 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 11:23 amStep 1 was completed with Miles.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 11:20 am Miles was of that mold and had the ring to go with it.

Like 10 steps to go.
I listened to an interview Jon Kirby did. He mentioned that spring Game May 1st, Finals start like May 10th and then guys go home. If you hire externally, you HAVE to hire within the next 10 days. The coach has to be on campus before students go home.holidaysmore wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 1:52 pm We've been led to believe that this would be the week that movement takes place.
