Tom now calling for Zenger's head:http://www2.kusports.com/news/2017/oct/15/tom-keegan-clock-tick-tick-ticking-kansas-ad-sheah/QuoteJohn Fitzgerald 2 hours, 51 minutes agoI keep trying to tell myself "Beaty needs at least 5 years to rebuild the program", "we're still below the 85 scholarship mark", "we can't let go of Beaty and Zenger because of the new stadium project", and lastly "who would want to even coach KU if we did fire Beaty". But after the last two games, I think I've settled on a few things:1.) As Brett has pointed out, and I've stubbornly disagreed in the recent past, it DOES NOT take 5 years to rebuild a program. See UCF, UAB, Washington State, ISU, etc. If progress isn't being made in year 3, will it ever be made?2.) Per an article by Tom or Benton, I can't quite remember who, Beaty mentions we're at 84 scholarships now. That is no longer an excuse even if a chunk of those were walk-on's.3.) As Tom has mentioned, the new stadium is going to happen regardless if Zenger and Beaty are around, because it NEEDS to happen. They may have helped get the ball rolling, but a fresh new face at AD and HC won't hurt or stop it.4.) I've said "no coach in their right mind would want to coach KU Football" to myself plenty of times lately, and it's starting to not make sense anymore. One thing about Beaty is he has filled this roster and it's definitely at a better place as far as the talent level, meaning it won't be an issue for the new coach coming in. Also, the new stadium has to be exciting for anyone interested in coaching KU. They can be the one to introduce it and the first to coach one of the best stadiums and locations in CFB. And finally, there is a lot of money being left on the table with KU Football. It's a matter of time before a coach comes here and is successful and can reap the benefits. Kansas doesn't have to be a "career crippler" it can just as easily be a "career maker" if we can hire a competent coach.So, needless to say, I'm okay with whatever it takes to get this program back in the win column. But whatever happens it needs to happen soon so we can have a jump on the other programs that'll be needing coaches.5Sign in to reply

Cause the ones I saw wouldn't put their stadium even in the top half of the conference.
Tough times for http://www2.kusports.com/news/2017/oct/14/tom-keegan-cyclones-blowout-jayhawks-tailspin/
We are at a point where no half-way quality coach in his right mind would even consider coming to Lawrence. It's like showing him the Puerto Rico damage, handing him a broom, and telling him to clean it up.
When do they break the all-time record for consecutive road losses? I know it's coming up.
The KU game is on primetime this weekend against the Horned frogs. What kind of sick twisted person does this to the Hawks
Phogistan over Frogistan
