OMG - - this Coaching search has turned into one huge Cluster F - - - . KU fans wondering why KU Goff and others are dragging their feet making the announcement - - - Army fans going nuts as to WHY Monken would want to come to this crap show. - Some Army fans saying they don't blame Monken cause he as always wanted to Coach at a P-5 School , Some saying his legacy is being destroyed by coming to KU - it's just insane

Read this : - -Sources from inside the College football industry said. They felt Geoff will make a decision today. Saying as of this morning nothing yet but not far off

Announced the case will be decided within 12 months. - -Dam nothing like dragging this thing out. - 12 months? - holy crap

Yeah, it's pathetic. They are apparently trying to find evidence, and they are not going to find any.

We have no idea whether they were looking for more evidence which I find to be impossible at this stage. There is nobody but KU officials and coaches left to spill any beans. All the actors do not have to cooperate that are not connected to KU. Personally I think they went back to reinvestigate the NCAA's handling of this

it's just a dam mess, and it will probably be the full 12 months

@Kcmatt7 said in Coaching Search/AD Thread:

Oh idk about that. There will be some departures. No way Monken is only bringing two coaches with him.

not so sure about that. From what I read of the knights message boards said he was making calls for his staff but wasn't near as many coming with him a what you might think

Got this from one of Army sites. : Black Knight Nation can confirm , that Monken has made calls to assemble a staff to take with him to Kansas. The number of Assistants Monken could take with him is not as many a one would think

@bennie said in Coaching Search/AD Thread:

some program should probably pick off Jones for his recruiting ability. he's not going to advance at kansas

let's hope he is able to stay in some capicity - -if not your going to see transfers

Well the big ol pushover Marshmellow me - -got to say I just became impressed by Monken , looks like he might have the inside track. - -Took a peek off other site LJW had a couple of really good video's of Monken one when they were getting ready to play Michigan and his speech to the team and the other after their win against Temple - got to say got me jacked hyphd up -course that's pretty easy to do.

If I can't get my number 1 Leipold then this guy would work , looks like really invested motovaitor. - -I'm ready , check these video's I like it - -also watched him Mic up at practice pretty cool. - -let's do this

EX Texas tech player freshman tyreek Smith has committed to Oklahoma state

Tech been taking some hits after Beard left

Announced the case will be decided within 12 months. - -Dam nothing like dragging this thing out. - 12 months? - holy crap

Ku among final 7 for Kajani Wright---not really sure if there i a shot for the kid or not

Something just bothering a little. So , we have taken all this time to find that RIGHT Coach Ok , I get that but having taken so long to decide find that Coach mean while back at the Ranch, this current roster has now went through an entire Spring Conditioning , learning an offense and getting to really no know the guy that got tagged as an Interim Coach , a guy that by the way a lot and I mean a lot happen to connect with and like A lot Now I know before it's even said in any response - - -you don't hire a Guy as your head Coach just because the players really like him - - True I get that I mean ya think ? However it is really nice to have a Coach that the players CAN connect with and more then ready to bust their Ass for. , do anything for. Where I'm hearing that very possibly the new Coach we do hire - - umm not so much not really a Coach/player type of guy

So actually here is the big thing I'm trying to bring out in the bigger picture overall scheme of things is : This thing has drug out the entire Spring. What would be so wrong to give Jones THIS season to show what he could do ?-- Hell who knows he might even surprise people be more competitive - -win games - oh dear parrish the thought can't be. YET what if he did ? - proved people wrong , dam we will never know if he wasn't given that chance At this point what's ONE more shit season if it doesn't work out with him? - were sure the hell no worse off then we are right now - - - can't get any worse.

With him having a Season to show what he can do - -you take a big less chance of player exodus/transfer out with another Coach. - -With it taking this long , WITH Jones you have a team that knows the Coach - -we have a OC where the have had time to learn his approach.

You are now brining in a new Coach - -and that Coach most of them want to bring in their own staff, were right back at square ONE - -AGAIN. on top of mass exodus chances are the new Coach has his own choice of an OC. So now the kids have to start all over new Coach - - New OC - learn yet ANOTHER offense in the fall and once again turns into one giant cluster F - - - .

Who can say 100 % that a NEW Coach being brought in Now would do any better ? - -you can't say he would - -so nothing to lose.

Don't get me wrong having said this - -yes we need change , I just think the way the timing of this played out -- is just BAD TIMING. With it now that it is think maybe would of been better to play the Season out with Jones and who knows may surprise - if he does - -Staff remains the same The Connection with the kids are already there - If he meets expectations you simply remove the title of Interim If not? - -- - then you have the off Season to do the Search. - -just random thoughts

Definitely in “many people are saying” territory now but Monken might get it. I haven’t been able to get anything solid for a day or so, which means this plane is about to land.

DAMMIT

I mean he’s my 1B to Leipold’s 1A. I wouldn’t be disappointed at all.

understand buddy just had my heart set on 1 A - - as long as Monken can get an offense that works in the Big 12. - - I sure hope they retain Jones in some capacity

if that's true guess we just got to take what we get - -really wanted Leipold

Anytime my man! It'll be tough for sure. Yesufu, Tyty, and Dave are ball dominant for sure. I think Cuffe has a long way to go to adjust. He's skipping his senior year after only playing two games as a junior. Big jump from basically a sophomore to Big 12 competition.

Well that's very true, guess I just went brain dead not realizing he only played two games his Junior year. - -Still very much a fan though cause I truly believe he will be very good before it's all said and done

@Kcmatt7 said in Coaching Search/AD Thread:

Vernon said Kane impressed in his interview. Take that fwiw.

Still think it is either Monken or LL. Would be happy with either personally.

Seems like things are spinning again , sounds like Monken chances might have dropped some - -some say they would be surprised not to see him at Army this fall , seems like Leipold might be gaining steam again. Also read the Texas A & m cord name pop up - -Ecko? - -is that right?

I dunno Farmer , but what you think ? -I just feel that whoever comes in really should give Jones a chance to remain on Staff. I just think the guy has THAT connection with these kids, pretty good recruiter , just think he is to important of a piece of the staff to lose. - -I guess the big thin is though would Jones even want to remain on this staff if he isn't hired as the HC. - -he just seems to be able to relate to this group and remain leary of mass trnsfers if he isn't some kind of piece in this program - -what you think Farmer ?

I have heard skuttle butt that if he comes that yes he is agreeable to change in offensive thinking - -He BETTER, that offense he ran at Army will not cut it in the Big 12. - -He very well might be a decent Coach, like I've read were probably not going to get much better chance for a Coach other then him or Leipold - -that's who I want . I'm sure in time if it is Monken it will sink in and we go from thre.

I'm just ready to get this Coach hired and move on- - let's get this done

Oh yeah there’s a 0% chance Monken would run flexbone triple option at KU. Rumor is he’s got his OC in the bag to bring along but it’s a bit flimsy right now. Looking more spread option.

Well again asking think I know your answer but checking to see if you had flipped. - -I still would prefer Leipold more, & beleive you said he was your # 1 choice - - has that changed ?

85 on scholarship, 105 including walk-ons

Young - -really young

Was looking at our roster for this upcoming Season have a question ? what is the number of players we can have? - -what is the limit ?

Looking off KU Athletics .com - -Were going to be really young again. Between FR , Red Shirt FR - - Soph , Red Shirt Soph - makes up 61 of our players. - - -- Then from our Jr's , Red Shirt Jr's - - Seniors , Red Shirt Seniors - -& Super Seniors - -thats another 36 players for a total of 36 more - -which gives us a total of 97 players - -isn't that over the limit ?

I'll say this KU has really started to take off with the Red Shirt program - -was a time when it was almost ZELCH. - -

you know & I know TY TY is NOT an option here anymore - -That Shipped Sailed just as soon as Cal offered

So is there still any other names we should kind of keep our eye on OR are we done ? -Any other players that might be interested ?

Mercy was that guy a STUD or what ? - -been a long time KU has had that type of player , domination - - -just so impressive , will be a long time before we have someone like that again.

Could you imagine if Doke would of had ANY kind of jumper -probably would of been a top 5 pick. Lol I remember watching his announcement when he pick KU to play, his dress attire kind of look like the high school nerdy type - - ol bow tie big like horn rim black glasses lol just goes to show don't EVER judge a book by the cover.

Just failing to see vision of this offseason so far. Yesufu and Pettiford seem like the only 2 guys of the 7 we have coming in that can actually make a difference. No idea what Ochai and Wilson are doing. If they return great, if they don't I'll laugh and move on. Maybe after the final roster is solidified I can take a hard look at the ceiling of this group and get more optimistic howeverright now I wouldn't be surprised if we took a step back again.

@BShark

Certainly seems like that favors us with Bishop. However Beard doesn't have a single big on his roster coming back.

I'm hearing Sims is leaning on coming back

Don't put a lot of stock into Bishops shooting % 60 plus for career. - -A lot of those on dunks , 29 % shooter on two's and 55 % free throw shooter only attempted 8 three's in his career at Creighton. Just relaying information from the North Carolina Board.

From what I read most there seem to think he is coming to KU , thre was a Couple that said they thought NC had a punchers cnace. I am starting to feel more like NC is where he ends up ,However after seeing those % that's kind of a down side of him for sure
