This can't be a serious post. Beth's new hire for men's basketball is 12-2 and has the team ranked #19 in his first season. The women's team is 13-2 and #14. Not sure what your expectations are, but a complete train wreck? Come on. LOL.

As for the OC.. Are you honestly saying you would rather have Brian Ferentz back running this offense?
Change the batteries in your sarcasm detector 🙂

Beth is not hiring a football coach. She will do what the board and boosters tell her to do. She doesn’t know a zone blocking scheme from a sack of doughnuts
Wow, harsh considering that most people think being a very good to great head coach is organizational skill, hiring and managing a great staff, being great at handling players, not the X's and O's which is important. Also being a great recruiter and managing players and boosting players abilities.

Lester seems to really be a player's coach from what I have read.

The board and boosters also do not know jack **** about zone blocking schemes

I agree that a new contract with a rolling 1-year extension is the way to go. Say, for every year that KF remains employed as HC on January 10, he will get one year added to his contract. Right now, he’s under contract through 2029 (4 years left). With this proposal, he will always have 4 years left.

The thing that is important — that many fans don’t understand — is that with coaching contracts, you never want a guy coaching on the last year of his contract. That screams lame duck to everyone — recruits, assistants, fans, media, etc. You want the contract to promote stability. There is a big difference between player contracts and coaches contracts. Almost no coach coaches until the end of his contract.

Honestly, I think the time is right to talk extension with KF, though I know that will make some fans’ heads spin right off their necks. I think a 1-year rolling extension makes the most sense, as it would keep you from having to revisit the topic in 2-3 years, if KF happens to still be coaching then.
Good point ... but this will end badly. Just call it quits KF, go coach Oline with your stupid kid wherever that lout is.
