Either way, seems like Cini will have their pick ahead of ku, doesn't it?

Houston would be a great step for Gill if he ever wanted to become a "great" coach. He needs build a relationship with Texas recruits. What better way to do it than to go to Houston. If Gill succeeds there, then maybe he could be a decent coach in a conference like the Big 12.

Just curious... all Two Cents are welcome. All (realistic) uk fans are welcome too. tia

I'll bite.

1) Basketball School
2) Asshole AD who has a happy trigger finger
3) Poor fan support (see attendance after halftime)
4) Hard to recruit against Oklahoma, Nebraska, Texas, etc..
5) Scared of in-state rival and HOFCBS

My personal opinion is that there are four primary reasons in place right now....

1. It's a basketball school. This is a bigger deal than most will admit to. Donors give to basketball first. Alumni would rather travel to see a sweet sixteen game than a Cotton Bowl...

2. Mizzou is good right now. You won't last long at ku if you can't beat Mizzou. All coaches know that beating the rival is very important to alumni satisfaction.

3. Bill Snyder is back. Look, any new coach knows about Bill. You honestly think someone like Kevin Sumlin doesn't pause for a moment when he thinks "So, I will be expected to beat Bill Snyder more than he beats me." Bill's "status" is greater in no community than it is amongst other coaches.

4. An "National Coach of the Year" just lost 7 Big 12 games in a row. The talent is obviously depleted.
