Les Miles Done For?
- Thread starter TheJackWePack5
- Start date
They had like a death sentence type year where they were able to recruit and bring in some players and take a redshirt year the year prior to their first year of games. A kid I know did that and still had his senior year left to play.
Being optimistic is normal. Ridiculing people because they have a take that is more realistic opens you up to being laughed at.
Ku has to hire an athletics director before they get to yet another coach. Because there are so many structural problems with football, getting the director hired will be far easier than signing a competent football coach thereafter. Ku is a big and noteworthy job as AD, just the opposite for the coach.
When they hired Jeff Long (and then Les MIles), it was met with great fanfare. He turned out to be a skunk in the works. Bill Self was evidently a player in the Long hire, as I'm sure he will be in bringing back Danny Manning or some other MBB minion.
To date, Girod’s decision to fire Zenger in May and execute a search to identify Long as his replacement represent two of his biggest athletic decisions. And by nearly all accounts, Girod scored big with both moves. LJW

That's fine. If I provided a few laughs in this day and age of too few laughs then you're welcome. I can handle it. I laugh at my own absurdity sometimes.
If you can't laugh at yourself then you can't laugh at other people and who wants to live in a world where you can't laugh at other people?!?
I'm sure @surly remembers at KSU when their AD (that was also going land deals with donors) was canned...and the president named his buddy the AD (Krause..married to a top donor)you get...Ron Prince....napkin contract and lawsuit years later.
KU, literally, just have an academic dean or other senior leader sit in the driver's seat for a kit, lol.
Yeah, Jon Wefald swung and missed appointing Bob Krause as athletics director. Bob was an academic and fundraiser with a lot of moxie about many things, not athletics. But he didn't hire Ron Prince. He did extend his contract with some under-the-table deal that later got Bob canned by his friend and then-president, Wefald.
Bob died of cancer a few years later. I always thought the whole affair destroyed him emotionally and physically. I knew him some. He was accomplished and proud but completely unsuited for an athletics director job. Wefald also left soon after under a gray cloud.
John Currie came next and put K-State on its present course.

Sharon Lewis' lawsuit (against LSU) said she was denied pay raises and subjected to verbal abuse after going to officials with the allegations against Miles — including her accusation that he told her there were “too many Black girls” employed in athletics and an incident when a female student accused him of “getting on top of her” on his office couch. It also accuses LSU officials of working with a law firm to cover up allegations against Miles, including one that he engaged in “explicit sex acts” with a student.

Comical, but if it were going to be one school doing it, it would definitely be Kansas.
I can’t believe the first three would even be interested.
I thought this sentence was going to end "Wisconsin Whitewater is kinda like Kansas but with a higher talent level".
The did so well last time the hired Buffalo's coach
The new AD really should just let the interim coach handle the upcoming season and then bring his own guy in after that. Watching KU continue to be a train wreck is glorious.
