Money is a funny thing. It can be managed in a manner to manipulate the public's perception. For example, where do their facilities rank compared to us? How much of their budget do they re-invest? What is their debt ratio? What is/was their borrowing rate? There's so much more to it than just the budget. And, as we all know, basketball (their cash cow) is one the more dynamic sports: meaning going up and going down is easier than football. It'll be very interesting to see the next few years of Self's rule. A new basketball coach does not necessarily mean continued success. And a reduction in basketball success will have the mob out in force. Leading to a cycle of coaching turnover. It's a much more delicate situation over there than most people think.
Les Miles Done For?

- Start date
Could someone post the gif from Step Brothers where Brennan and Dale say they aren’t no longer step brothers and photoshop Les and Bills’ heads in their place?
So, since this is a "Mutual agreement" then KU is off the hook for any buy out in Miles' contract?
I guess on the bright side, if Jeff Long does not get fired he will hire the next KU Football coach. I like the prospects of that.

I'm sure they negotiated a smaller severance to part ways. No way he gets nothing when it's mutually agreed.

Didn’t t they hire him knowing most of his creepy predator nature? Undoubtedly someone else will hire him too.
That would be great. Jr. and Bill could yuk it up over a few beers and argue which is the better word in hok coaching today-- Victim or Blindspot.
Man, this is horrible timing to try and get a new coach and add to that the fact that you know a lot of guys are going to be looking for a new home if they can find one.
I wouldn't put much stock in announced athletic department budgets, the accounting on those is always subjective at best. They have the worst facilities in the league, the shittiest stadium and as of just a few years ago were paying Beaty $800k to be a head coach - less than what ISU pays both Manning and Heacock. No matter what they may say publicly it's fairly clear in reality that they don't have the cash to throw around.
How many coaches are they paying to not coach at KU now - or did they finally pay some of them off?
I know they paid Beaty off last year, so maybe just Miles now? I don't know for certain, it's hard to keep up with that cluster ****.
That is why they had to let Les go. They can't be just paying one head football coach.

It came as no big surprise when a new study on spending in high-profile college athletics found that the University of Kansas has paid more than most to get rid of football coaches. An analysis of coaching buyouts over the past 15 years published by AthleticDirectorU.com revealed that, among...

Incredible. All the $ goes to basketball facilities and buyouts.
KU football was already a dumpster fire but with Les now gone they are really screwed. Im putting the over/under win total for the next 5 years at 12.5.
Covid year financials make letting Les go even harder. K-State's revenue will be down $25 million reportedly. It will be that or more at Ku.
They need to focus on hiring competence over flash, which hasn't worked with Miles and those who preceded him. Someone like Willie Fritz or Skip Holtz.

Potential candidates for Kansas Jayhawks head coach
Again, there's an open sign. It's hanging in yet another Power 5 conference football coach's office. This time? Kansas. Late Monday night, in a move never in

SEAN SNYDER, USC Special Teams COORDINATOR: The son of legendary Kansas State head coach Bill Snyder and former All-American punter at K-State, the 51-year-old Snyder spent his entire 26-year coaching career at his alma mater before he accepted the position as the Trojans’ special teams coordinator a year ago. As with Fritz, such a move would engender instant in-state and in-region credibility.

A Snyder in KU colors would be a good storyline.
I am going to be absolutely hammering the under here.
