"Warinner, also the Illini's run-game coordinator, has been a wanted man this offseason after illinois led the Big Ten in rushing with 188.8 yards per game. He was among the finalists for the Air Force head coaching job that eventually went to Houston Texans offensive coordinator Troy Calhoun."

At least his only prior coaching experience isn't at North Dakota.

 

[ECN]

doesnt matter where you start..just where you end up.


do you expect everyone to start off for a BCS team?

hardly.

Not everyone can start their professional career at a toll booth. 

[jeffy]

So they hired a run-game coordinator to be their OC.

Is that to make their non-existent running backs better? 
Or is that to make Kerry Meier/Todd Reising better at knowing when to keep it and run from defenders?

[Dirty Sanchez]

Wait...he was the O-line guy in 03-04?  That line sucked real bad back then. 64-0 bad.

[BMWJhawk]

Actually, he started out at K-State, but don't let that get in the way of being a complete idiot.

Is that to make their non-existent running backs better?

Umm... Jon Cornish ran all over your defense and was the leading running back in the Big 12.  ku has plenty of guys who can carry the rock.

39-20.

Good God, you're lame.  I'm not saying that because I think you are on the wrong track.  The truth is, I'm not paying that much attention.  For all I know, you could be absolutely correct.  I'm talking about you as a person.  You're just really lame.  For the benefit of us all, try harder please.

No, Bill found him working part time on a turnpike.  Your head coach was working in a turnpike and you're questioning a guy starting out at ND St.  I bet your boyfriend beats you, that's why you try to act tough on these boards.

"ku has plenty of guys who can carry the rock"

that depth will come in handy if mangino ever falls down

the score "that launched a thousand" (-plus) idiots to tear down goalposts over non-rivals.  The game where ku was outgained and didn't have a single TD drive w/ out it being off a turnover.

And why are you bringing up Cornish?  What does he have to do w/ Wariner?  You will have a new OL next year and new RB=No running game next year.

I'll let NJHawk take it from here:

Folks, this is a good hire.

Warriner has been a part of some very explosive offenses. Granted, most of them were option, but you can be very successful running a lot of option out of the spread. Bill Snyder won a gawdawful lot of games doing that.

I think its also apparent that Mangino has a lot of trust in Warinner. After Warinner left the program Mangino brought him back and gave him a promotion. In the business world that happens all the time........... when you respect the hell out of the guy that left. I'm also pretty sure (although I don't know for sure) that Warriner had a hand in Mangino hiring Reagan.

Why is the trust factor important? Because Mangino isn't going to hand the keys to the offense to somebody he doesn't trust. We're a lot more likely to see new and different stuff from Warinner than we would be if we hired somebody like BYU's OC or any other hot shot young coordinator.

Warinner is respected in the business and he's done some great coaching jobs over the years.

This is better than a good hire.

Cheers,
NJ Hawk

Not to worry Hawkers!  Another stunning achievement for Mangino and Sweet Lew!

And why are you bringing up Cornish?  What does he have to do w/ Wariner?  You will have a new OL next year and new RB=No running game next year.

K-State needs to worry about their O-line.  ku is set with Rodriguez, Wolfe, Hartley, Cantrell, and Collins.  That's 3 returning starters, a Juco who signed with ku over Florida State, and a redshirt-freshman who is our top o-line prospect and signed with ku over Wisconsin and K-State.  Brandon McAnderson is a solid fullback as well.  ku's running attack should improve under Warriner. 

Hatter.... you are the same guy who thought that Thomas Clayton was a better running back than Jon Cornish.  You are the same guy who thought before the season that K-State would beat ku in Lawrence.  Don't even get me started on that one.  Despite your ignorance, ku has plenty of guys waiting to be the man at running back. 

The game where ku was outgained and didn't have a single TD drive w/ out it being off a turnover.

Wrong on so many levels.  ku was outgained because we had such a short field to work with, thanks to Josh Freeman and his SIX turnovers.  You also fail to point out that ku turned it over 4 time IN THE REDZONE.  The game was not even close.  It should have been a lot worse than 39-20.

allright, name some

I would take Patton over Sharp, but that's just in my jmho.

[BMWJhawk]

First of all, how many predicted Leon Patton to be the starting running back as a true freshman last season?  

Secondly, I believe if you have the right scheme and good enough blocking up front, the running back position is the easiest position to replace in all of football.  

Now, looking back at Rivals rankings for '06... Leon Patton was a 3-star, 5.5 rating, #61 overall athlete coming out of the state of Texas.  

In comparison, Donte Bean, the guy I would like to see fill Cornish's spot, was a 3-star, 5.6 rating, #15 overall all-purpose back and ranked in the Texas Top 100 coming out of high school.  Bean has better measurements than Patton, as well as a 4.43 40-time and a 4.25 shuttle time.  I expect him to get a lot of carries next season.

Another option at running back is Angus Quigley, who was projected as the 2nd-string running back behind Cornish last season until he had a season-ending injury.  Quigley stands 6'3, 210, with 4.5 speed.  Rivals gave him a 3-star, 5.6 ranking, and he's another guy from the state of Texas, which produces tons of talented football players.

Next on the list is Jake Sharp, who I'm sure you all know about.  Sharp was the #1 ranked player in Kansas and the #17 overall all-purpose back in '06.  He was an EA Sports All-American and broke all sorts of rushing records for the state of Kansas.  Rivals gave him a 3-star, 5.6 rating.  He averaged a little over 6 yards per carry last season as a true freshman.  Sharp also took 2nd in the state in the 100-meter sprint.  K-State tried to make a late push, but he stuck with ku.

Now, after I've listed three players who were ranked higher coming out of high school than Leon Patton (your starting RB), with better size and speed, is there some other reason why you think ku doesn't have anyone to replace Cornish?

[fatty fat fat]

Yes, because Kansas Football has never ever been successful. Like, ever.

yes, James Johnson our OTHER was a 4 star comming in from Juco and is 5' 11" which is taller than both Bean and Sharpe and is also heavier and has a higher bench than all three running backs (all have higher squat max), Johnson runs a 4.4 fourty  which is faster than Jake Sharpe (4.5) faster than Bean 4.43 and, faster than Quigly 4.5

[BMWJhawk]

That didn't make any sense.

I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

[Saulbadguy]

His name is "Bean".

God you're a tool.

[BMWJhawk]

Thanks for the kind words.

Apparently you've never seen Billy Madison.

[fatty fat fat]

Don't worry, I'm sure stunner is forced to laugh at your beyond lame jokes.

[waks]

Thanks for the kind words.

Apparently you've never seen Billy Madison.

I have, and that is why I called you a tool. Anytime you resort to quoting Billy Madison to insult someone else shows just how pathetic you truly are. I mean, Billy Madison, WOW.

However, it was a nice way to avoid the statement. You obviously are really good at that. I mean, you have done that every time I have said anything. That really is a talent you should tell people about.
