Title: Official KU Coaching Search
Post by: CHONGS on September 29, 2014, 09:57:00 AM
As you guys know, e have a lot of input into who the Jayhawks of Kansas will select for their brand new Head Coach (in Football).   Let's take this responsibility seriously (no jokes come on guys).  Select a coach, give us a reason why and a suggested salary!  This will be fun and productive!

ATTN: KU FANS!!!! THIS IS FOR YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN THE MOST!

Ron Prince

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.detroitlions.com%2Fassets%2Fimages%2Fimported%2FDET%2Fphotos%2Fphotos%2F2014%2F07-July%2Fprince-article-072514.jpg&hash=51d3926734e9936fff5470e63b97e2f4c27c20b4)

We all know that Snyder left this program in a pile of crap, the facilities are awful, no setting, and Ron ended up 17-20 with several wins over Top 10 teams, contended for North crowns, and went bowling.  If he could do that at K-State, there's no telling what he could do with the facilities and setting in Lawrence.  Also, he's had more NFL experience since K-State so he will have a lot of new ideas to enact in Lawrence.  Am I completely off base here?  KU fans I know would probably slide down the piss troughs in the Mem Stadiums bathrooms with a 17-20 record, Top 10 wins, and fun and exciting style of play, not to mention, great non con schedules. 

Salary:  $2,000,000 USD

I do not have any legitimate candidates for KU.  I'm not trying to be mean or anti-TSC, but here are my reasons why I think KU will have some major problems finding a coach:

1) Basketball school - KU has not given football the attention it deserves in the past 5 years.
2) Facilities - Simple renovations will not work.  They are having major infrastructure problems.  They need to pour in $350m
3) Fans - The fans have shown to be apathetic towards the football program.  Though the team has been horrible, it is known that fans don't come back after halftime (even during Orange Bowl year)
4) Big 12 competition - It will be very hard to build KU into a 6 win team in a round-robin conference.
5) Salary - rumors going around that KU does not want to pay their next head coach like they have the last two.  That will make it even harder for someone to come in to a program that doesn't want to pay big money for a coach to put his career on the line.
6) Recruiting - Lawrence is in fly-over country.  A new coach will have to have major ties to KS/OK/TX in order to get some decent talent.
7) Alumni Support/Donations - They like to pay to get rid of a coaches, but it seems like any/all major athletic donations are for basketball.  No additional funding from private donations will not help with #2.

Some positives for a new KU Football Coach:

1) Can't get any worse than the program is now.
2) Stadium no longer has a track.
3) Could possibly get a very long contract and suck and still get paid by KU for multiple years
4) Harvard of the Midwest
5) The setting around the stadium
6) LHC Bill Snyder is getting old and might die soon.

A new coach for KU should get a $1.5m per year contract with bonus incentives (wins, rival wins, bowl eligibility, etc.).  Contract should not exceed 3 years.

Kurt Bryan - Pretty much the next Malzahn/Briles.  High School coach who is an offensive genius.  Invented the A11 offense that essentially makes every player eligible.  With a mind like that, you don't need talent.  He could have KU in the hunt in year one.

Mike Martz

KU has this weird fascination will NFL coaches.
Greatest show on Turf, owns a super bowl ring.
Basically the NFL's version of the Pirate.

Give him 3 million per year, because if it doesn't work you can still point to the fact that you will over pay and get 3 to 5 2 years.

What ever the big money donors do, it needs to be big money.  That way, even if this doesn't turn out to be the homerun that they want it to be, they maintain the image of serious compensation for the next coaching hire.  Also, guaranteed contracts so that any serious coach knows that he isn't looking at being fired on some dumbass Grape's whim in the first two years of clean up.

Craig Bohl would be a great hire for KU.  1)  He knows how to win with crap for talent.  2)  He is very cheap.  Could be had for $1.0M per year, and he'd leave Wyoming for that.  Lots of upside for little cost.  He's already 2-0 at Wyoming, BTW.

Just so it's in this thread, too.

Ed Orgeron, he'd take the job because he's on a tilt right now. Would probably have to pay him $2.5M per year on a 4+ year contract, but I think he's the best coach they actually have a shot at.

Gary Barnett would also be a good hire.  He was asked publicly earlier this year if KU would be an option and he didn't right away shut that crap down, so you'd know he'd listen.  Former Big 12 COY.  Still watches college football in his free time and can really talk pigskin.

Craig Bohl would be a great hire for KU.  1)  He knows how to win with crap for talent.  2)  He is very cheap.  Could be had for $1.0M per year, and he'd leave Wyoming for that.  Lots of upside for little cost.  He's already 2-0 at Wyoming, BTW.

He just got his ass beat by Michigan State over the weekend, so I don't think he's 2-0 anymore.

One reason to believe KU will knock this hire out of the park, is that in the Big XII era, KU has never had 3 complete dogcrap failures at head coach in a row.  Don't look for that streak to end anytime soon.

Even though he's 66 years old you know he still has some of that old nasty "The U" swagger left in him and that's just what the Jayhawks need IMO.  A Coker led team never would have got shut out at home.

He already has UTSA on an upward trend so it's okay to for him to leave San Antonio and turn things over to their next guy.

The only downside is that SMU sucked while he was coaching, but honestly, I don't think you can blame the coach on that one....

Phil Bennett.  Ties to Kansas and coaching experience in Texas.  Could get the recruits he needs.  Would be awesome seeing him at KU.

I'd take a real hard look at Dameyune Craig.  1.2 Million per year.    They need a huge shot in the arm recruiting wise and I think he could compile a staff that would get it done.  They need to take a calculated risk on an unproven coordinator at a relatively low salary figure.

He's pretty fat, so KU could save on coach's gear and office chairs and stuff that Weis left behind, plus, it's just continuity. He has one good year at every place he's coached, which is better than nothing. He'll be unemployed soon, and we'll be paying him 2 mil next year so you could probably get him on the cheap.

He recruits really well, actually. So there's that too. He doesn't wear a headset so you can save a bit there.

I know KU probably has their heart set on Harbaugh, but he's a lot less interested now that the tracks been removed.

I mean, does it get any better?

Quote
It was just another Monday, but then Washington State coach Mike Leach had to go out and predict the end of human kind. Because of course he did.

"I'm not really good with technology. All this button pushing and whatnot. I mean, you can just imagine based on what's happened in the last 15 years. Conversations won't happen 10 years from now. There aren't going to be people to talk to, it's going to be this (mimics pushing buttons). 'Do you want to go out on a date with me?' 'I don't know, what do you look like?' 'Well I look kind of like this.' 'OK, what are your interests?' 'Well, what do you think my interests are? Looking to this thing and typing into this just like yours are.' 'Yeah, no kidding, that's what everybody's doing.' 'Well, where do you want to go?' 'Well, what difference does it make? Because all we're going to be doing is looking into machines anyways.' Well, that's true and in the end, it's going to tough to perpetuate the species. There's no question about that. So we're all going to look in this box and eventually be extinct. That's how it ends."

When asked if he really wanted to be Kansas' fourth head coach seven years, Orgeron was undeterred.

Guys I have decided to throw my hat in the ring for KU's next football coach.  I have zero football coaching experience, but have been undefeated the past 2 seasons coaching my 4th and 5th grade soccer team and it is called football in Europe.  Also I have read almost all the Fan_Frames and have watched almost all KSU games since 1994.  The best part is I would do it for somewhere in the neighborhood of $300k/year, due to my lack of experience.  My only drawback would be that I am well under 200 lbs.

I think that I could get KU rolling at 4-5 wins per year as their head coach. The only problem is that I would probably need 4 years to build the team up with my guys to get to that point, and KU has proven that they just aren't that patient. So I would need a guaranteed contract to even think about it.

the plays and personnel choices will all be made in real time by the collective internet hive mind.

IT costs: $15k/yr?

Oh man!  Feed it through twitter.  You could block the ppl that submitted plays that don't work so that you eventually whittle down to a good solid set of twitter users/coordinators.

I still think the only way to get it turned around is to bring in someone who can do something like what James franklin did at Vandy.
Excellent insight. Most coaching searches don't target this type of candidate

While driving home from work was listening to the afternoon sports show on WIBW 580.  Caller noted that if Bowen could win 6 games (heck, maybe even 4) this season, the job at KU would probably be his.

Of course, got to love his KU zeal.  :excited:

My guess is that if Clint can win 1 or 2, he may be coach of the year in the Big 12.
if they get bowl eligible he needs to be ncoy

Dan McCarney

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dallasnews.com%2Fincoming%2F20120213-100811northtexas02.jpg.ece%2FBINARY%2Fw620x413%2F100811northtexas02.jpg&hash=ff8f4708d3dd07202ee99046a3fce4889bc6609d)

Pros:
Could be had for less that $1 mil per season (currently at $600,000 with bonuses at N Texas).
Texas recruiting ties in place.
Has experience taking a Big XII team with terrible facilities from the cellar to bowl games.
Basically can roll out of bed and lead you to .500 season within 3 years.
Can make the KU job respectable again by the time the facilities are improved; can dump him then and hire a hot shot HC.

Con:
Can only give you .500 seasons. But as my (very casual college football fan) dad said on Sunday, "I'd just like to see KU be competitive, like Iowa State." This is the most precise way to get KU to that level!  :tsc:

crap yeah they have a lot of choices.  How many coaches are looking to spend their last 3-5 years of their career at a place where they get free use of a university jet, all excuses built in for failure from facilities to old coach's recruiting, and after all that, if they crap can you before you retire, you get a huge payout because KU athletic dept doesn't actually read their contracts.

Gary Barnett (born May 23, 1946) is a former American football player and coach. He served as the head coach at Fort Lewis College (1982–1983), Northwestern University (1992–1998), and the University of Colorado at Boulder (1999–2005), compiling a career college football record of 92–94–2. His 1995 Northwestern team won the Big Ten Conference title, the first for the program since 1936, and played in the school's first Rose Bowl since 1949. At Colorado, Barnett was suspended briefly in the 2004 offseason due to events stemming from allegations of sexual misconduct by several members of the football team.[1]

Seems overqualified for the ku head job. Kansas officials should get him inked now.

Barnett to LHCBS after a Colorado drubbing " did you really need that extra 7 at the end there ?" :billdance:

It looks like its ole Ed's to lose:

Quote from: Ed Orgeron, via College Football Talk

"It's a Power Five (job)," Orgeron told George Schroeder of USA Today at a speaking engagement Monday in Little Rock, Ark. "(Mark) Mangino went 12-1 and went to the Orange Bowl. It's in a great conference. His staff proved that you can do it."

When asked if he really wanted to be Kansas' fourth head coach seven years, Orgeron was undeterred.

"It's a challenging job," he said. "But most jobs you get, there's gonna be some things you're gonna have to fix."

(https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.onset.freedom.com%2Focregister%2Fblogs%2Fusc.ocregister.com%2Forgeron.0225.jpg&hash=f4394e8e47638c588fe1ac533d355b091ca764d5)

I am thinking 2 Million maybe?
I think his success at the helm with USC was more to do with being surrounded by talent than his coaching . Despite that, Pat Haden did Orgeron pretty dirty IMO. Pulling for O to get a gig but it would be too big of a gamble for Zenger to keep his job, O hasn't proven he can do something with nothing

I wonder how many guys Coach O already has secretly committed to the Hawks? (http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/11790412/spending-football-saturday-legendary-recruiter-character-ed-orgeron)

Heard some great stories about Weis and Mangino this past week.

Girl I know went to do an interview with Weis. Got to his office and was told to wait. After 20 minutes they let her in and he's just sitting at his desk with a blanket over him. Kind of weird, but okay. After a few questions he reaches to grab something on his desk and the blanket falls down a bit, revealing that he is not wearing a shirt under it! He had 20 minutes to get ready, and decided putting a shirt on just wasn't that important! Who knows what else he wasn't wearing!

Talked to some parents of a kid that was pretty low on the totem pole in the AD, and would run errands for Mangino when some other people couldn't. This included sometimes having to pick up his daily snack of a bucket of fried chicken from KFC. The best part? He wouldn't eat the chicken, just the fried skin. Then he'd throw all the chicken away.

They also had to install a super flusher on his toilet because he clogged it so often. And he also would often forget toilet paper so his female secretary would have to bring him in toilet paper on a regular basis.

Oh ex-KU coaches, I love the stories I hear about you.
