Kansas fires coach
- Thread starter phoenix4nu
- Start date
That’s crazy. Kansas football has been a joke but there was definite improvement in play and recruiting. The “win now or else” culture is keeping a lot of programs down and won’t work sans a few schools that will always recruit at an elite level.
They'll have a hard time finding a decent coach. Pelini might have been considered for a job like this if he hadn't left Nebraska the way he did and/or if he was having a good season at YSU.
New AD...so the coach was going to be gone at some point this year.
Not sticking up for Beaty but they want an experienced guy and it is very hard to imagine a current head coach jumping to Kansas. Maybe a former head coach...one more adventure for smiling Mike?

Totally agree...I think they are going to hit up some dude that has coached for a very long time.
Smiling Mike would be a perfect HC for Kansas. He knows how to lose to everybody and still keeps smiling!
Oregon state played usc yesterday. They did not win.
Tim Beck could be a good hire for them. His Mangino connection might be a problem but IMO Beck could win some games there. I suspect they'll hire some hot young non-power 5 coach. No established D-1 guy in his right mind would touch that place with a 10 foot pole..... I don't even think they could hire a top assistant at a big time program.
The Troy coach would be a good choice. If he would take it.
Go get Tracy Claeys...he is a good coach...Kill is from Kansas too and would probably be happy to be on staff/consult.
The number one thing they need is somebody who can recruit and sell KU. Not sure Claeys could do that. They need Jimmies and Joes more than anything. Beck had success there and he could sell that to all of the connections he has in Texas. He is very well liked and respected by Texas high school coaches. I would take a chance on somebody like that before I brought in a guy who is going to get his brains beat in for 3 years then get fired.
Best man for the job:
Knows the conference- CHECK
Recruiting connections from prior job: CHECK
All American QB: CHECK
National Champion: CHECK
Unbeaten HC record: CHECK
Clearly the answer is Middle Florida Tech College Golden Knights HC JOSH HEUPEL!!!
That would be the freaking hilarious.

Heupel wouldn't touch KU. He's smarter than that.
Bill Snyder. Maybe then his kid can take over after 1 year. Doesn't sound like it'll happen at manhattan
oooooh......He would be scary there....in more ways than one. He could win there.
Massive PR hit initially, but if they can weather that he’d transform their AD budget in a couple years. Pretty sure he’d do well
Theyve gone with a has been (Charlie Weis) and Up and Comer (Turner Gill). I'm sure they want a proven head coach. Maybe they could lure Troy or Appalachian State's coach
Please let this happen.
Don't be so sure, Kansas is indeed a better job than UCF***s.
Les Miles would be Charlie Weis Part 2. He won't win without the 4 and 5 star recruits and a great defensive coordinator. He was average at Okie State.
Les Miles would be a great hire for KU and I bet it happens. He didnt get 5 star recruits at Okie State and he was very successful. "Average" my ***.
KU will open up the wallet with this hire.
He took over a depleted roster coming off a 3-8 year and went 4-7 in year one. Throw that out and he went 24-14. Good enough for LSU to come knocking.
As a suffering KU fan, if we could get Miles...you do it IMO!!!
Almost had a heart attack. Thought you meant Tim Miles. And thought Bill Self got fired for the FBI thing. But you are taking football. Is Kansas good in football?
