Lance Leipold Hired At Kansas

[OldandStillaVol]

The really sad thing is that Kansas has been to one of the BCS Bowls (Rose, Fiesta, Sugar, Orange) more recently (2008) than Tennessee.

I know many may disagree. But teams like Kansas in football is why I wish we had the league relegation like Euro soccer.

We would've been kicked out of the SEC at some point within the last 10 years if we had that.

And we would have deserved it. Always chances to get back in though. Just imagine how much more each game would mean.

A million times better coach then I'd ever expect Kansas to hire...Or be interested in that job.

 

[golfballs]

Wow! Thought they were finalizing Monken. Leipold would have been my first go...maybe even for us.

Agree

He just committed career suicide though

Career suicide.

Career suicide.

Career suicide.

Maybe, but he will be about $10 million richer when his contract is up at 63. I would take that.

Think this through, he’s 57 making now $4m per year for 4 years ($16m) how many years does he have left in his career? How many years would he need to coach Buffalo? He can’t make the Jayhawks worse so he probably stays as long as he wants. They are happy with 2 stars recruits....

 

[TennesseeFan07]

Good luck to him. He wasn't getting younger.

Kansas is a blue blood in basketball and that is basically their sports history.

Alma mater of Gale Sayers. GOAT if knee reconstruction had been developed sooner.

John Riggins was another great Kansas running back

I tend to forget that. He’s a force of nature player in any era.

Very nice hire by Kansas he'll make Kansas competitive in a few years.

I doubt it. He might keep them from being absolute garbage, and decrease the scoring gaps in the blowouts, but he's not getting the 10 years it would take to turn Kansas into a mildly successful program in today's CFB environment.

Needs two classes of his guys.

How competitive are we talking about though? It is Kansas after all.

Kansas has played in a BCS bowl more recently then we have. Soak that shat in. Gross.

There’s no reason they can’t be a consistent bowl team.

I know he was an a**hole, but forcing Mangino out was the worst mistake they ever made.

I've said that several times....he had them competitive. He spoke his mind for sure and most was right.

Heupel has inherited a tough situation, but Leipold will be starting new in the fall. He didn't even get spring practice with his team. That is rough. The one thing Kansas football has going for them is that they have the most impressive spring game trophy.
