OFFICIAL BIG 12 COACHING SEARCH THREAD (OU, CU, ku, NU, TTech)

[Chingon]

The Big 12 is slowly, but surely removing all of the fun characters out of the conference...

I for one will miss the grumpy blueberry.

Who wants to head up to Lawrence to show our support for a fellow B12N coach?

Add Stoops to ND and Leach to Louisville, and it's not a good year for Big XII coaching talent.

Leach to CUSA is a demotion, right?

Louisville is Big East, which is sadly a BCS conference.

Mother of god. It's just like the Big 12 in basketball now, except less competent

If ku hires Tommy Tuberville, I will probably do something drastic and life-threatening.

Rumor on ESPN's board that Perkins has already contacted Turner Gill about the ku job.  Apparently his daughter goes to ku.  Thoughts?

I give it about a 10% chance...but I think it would be a decent hire really.

[cireksu]

good hire.

[steve dave]

PLEASE HIRE TURNER GILL!  (ku would have a crappy coach and NU fans would lose it because he was coaching somewhere else in the Big 12)

I think Gill will really flourish once he gets away from that nightmare of a schedule he plays at Buffalo.  Who can honestly be expected to win against the murderer's row of Ohio, Western Michigan, Central Michigan, Bowling Green and Temple?  After running that gauntlet, he should have no problem with the Big 12.

[Pete]

CU boards are saying that Turner Gill is a candidate for the CU job as well.  Tough to tell if this is all just the typical coaching search speculation or "real" stuff.

In either case, they seem to be in agreement that Hawkins is out, and prolly before NU game.  This is nuts.

If Leach and/or Stoops leave, this will be the wildest coaching carousel in conference history.   

[steve dave]

If you are one of the few african american head coaches in the country I bet your off season schedule is pretty much filled with interviewing and subsequently not getting offered every single open position.

It's gonna be an awkward athletic department when Sherron rapes Gill's daughter....

Jake Sharp almost walked and Gino is still thumping buffets in Lawrence? What position does Jake play again? This is huge.

A fun post from a ku board...

    I have decided it is more likely that we can pull a "reclamation project" on our big coach than we have a chance at hiring an equal quality coach.  Its our only chance to keep any sort of momentum.  If he agrees to do it. WHICH IS A BIG IF....send him to anger managment seminar and issue a public apology to all he has hurt in the past.


    If we fire coach and lose this recruiting class you might as well count 2014 as the EARLIEST bowl possible.


    I have absolutely no problem rooting for him.  Zero.

Oh god. G-Patt to ku and Venzy to CU. All past K-Staters are teaming up in the Big XII in order to try to take us down...

Speaking of Hawk:

Coach Hawkins says if he had it to do over, he would not have brought his son to Colorado to play quarterback
