Title: At anytime did Ron Prince ever make fans do a pledge?
Post by: WavetheWheat on April 29, 2010, 10:24:43 AM
I am deeply concerned.  Thanks in advance for your answer.

We are one step away from rabbit ears.  I see them coming soon.

Really looking forward to the first awkward moment when ku fans do the "rip his rough ridin' head off" thing and Gill calls a timeout to stare them down.

Although he has had his hands full with football so far, Kansas University football coach Turner Gill has found plenty of ways to demonstrate how important community is to him.

KU officials announced recently that during halftime of the Jayhawks’ April 24 Spring Game, Gill plans to lead a group of youths and their parents in a pledge against the use of drugs.

In a letter sent to all of Lawrence’s elementary schools last week, Gill wrote: “I want you to know that we teach our players what you are learning in your health and science classes at school — drugs are not fun and they can harm you, your friends and your family. Together, we can all take the pledge and promise to live a drug-free lifestyle.”

The reading of the pledge, which can be obtained upon entering Memorial Stadium the day of the game, will be led by Gill and senior defensive back Chris Harris.

In addition, the first 500 youths who arrive can pick up a “Drug-Free Jayhawk” bracelet and the first 5,000 fans will receive a free T-shirt.

Becoming evident that when coaches do things (pledges, read a lot of books, etc) other than focus on coaching, they're in over their cowboy hat.

Wave just hasn't been the same since Mangino was fired.  Heaven forbid a program fire a coach who lost seven straight games to finish off the season, and a coach who had one winning conference season in eight years.  At least give Gill a chance before you start comparing him to Ron Prince.  IIRC, Prince had no head coaching experience, and never won three national championships as an assistant.

That program had five wins total in the six seasons before Gill took over.  He won the conference by his third year.  Get some perspective, or GTFO.

Wave just hasn't been the same since Mangino was fired.  Heaven forbid a program fire a coach who lost seven straight games to finish off the season, and a coach who had one winning conference season in eight years.  At least give Gill a chance before you start comparing him to Ron Prince.  IIRC, Prince had no head coaching experience, and never won three national championships as an assistant. 

Just a heads up BMW, a coach who had one winning season in four years at a MAC school got promoted to your head coach.

Just sayin  :dunno:




That program had five wins total in the six seasons before Gill took over.  He won the conference by his third year.  Get some perspective, or GTFO.

That year they had a record that was tied for fourth in the conference, even though they were in the much easier division. Then they pretty much got lucky with every break in the title game.

He was at a mid-major.  If you don't completely suck as a coach, you'll be decent about every 4 years whe you have a couple stud players with experience.

^Perspective^

Anyways, if you're seriously happy with him, then good for you I guess.

This is about as ridiculous as beems yelling about hating on an unproven coach, given that 90% of KU fans widely panned the Ron Prince hire at the onset. Hell, I was one of them. It took until 2007 to get KSU fans really soured on Prince. Before then, Prince was on the way to resurrecting the program in the eyes of EMAWs, even on ksufans.

I don't think that Gill is as nearly as full of crap as Prince, but he does seem to be jumping the shark on this whole morality thing. Then again, maybe he did that at Buffalo, and nobody heard about it because nobody covers Buffalo football. He could still be a damn good hire, or he could send KU back to wandering in the wilderness again. For me, I'd like to see Gill's in-game coaching for a few games for KU before passing judgment.

the biggest difference that i can see so far is prince brought in FreEMAW and was inheriting a fairly experienced team while Gill is starting with a bare cupboard and no big recruits.   at this point it is pretty rediculous to completely throw Gill under the bus, but outside of putting together a decent coaching staff (which prince also did his first season) i don't see a whole lot to be optimistic about just yet, at least not compared to any optimism felt in prince's first yr.

I was all about giving him a chance until the first game.  Then he called a hail mary deep ball on his first play and I hated him.  Over the next year and a half I tried to talk my self back into liking him a few times, with varying success.  The lst year and a half I hated him...I hated him hard.

Gill isn't starting with a bare cupboard.  Mangino brought in some pretty good recruiting classes in his last couple years, with guys like McDougald, Opurum, Kande, etc.  KU returns most of its defense and its starting offensive line from last season.  If Kale Pick can add another dimension to the offense with his ability to scramble, I could see KU being pretty decent next season (anywhere from 6-6 to 8-4).  Keep in mind also that the schedule gets much easier next year with KU going back to the South rotation of Baylor, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M.

their offensive line and defense were both terrible last season, but if you want to lean on that, thats fine.  prince in his first season inherited a starting QB Meier, RB Clayton, a couple of all big 12ers in WR Figures and LB Archer, and some solid senior role players in DT Echols and LB Diles and DB K. Williams.  It obviously showed since even prince was able to get them to a bowl.  Gill returns nothing except hope that some mediocre/bad players improve, plus a better schedule (though the non-con is one of ku's toughest in years.)  I see 4 or 5 wins at most.

Gill has SEC/Big 12 assistants as his defensive/offensive coordinators.  He also has guys like Reggie Mitchell and Darrell Wyatt who can recruit with the best of them.  I really see no similarities at all between Gill and his coaching staff compared to Prince's.

Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) = thinking that ku's Garbage second team could beat a conf opponent.




A lot of that "garbage" second team consisted of guys like Bradley McDougald, Jamal Greene, Prinz Kande, Quinton Woods, Huldon Tharp (who started by the end of the season and was first team freshman all american), Kale Pick, Lubbock Smith, etc.  These are guys that will be contributing a lot next year, and who made big strides toward the end of last season.  Mangino also had a bunch of guys in the doghouse, like Steven Johnson and Anthony Davis, for example, who would have been big time contributors last year if given a chance.  

Also keep in mind that I was basing my prediction on a K-State team that lost, 52-21, in Lawrence the year before.  Let's not forget that K-State started Carson Coffman at the beginning of the year and lost to Louisiana-Lafayette.  I give Snyder all the credit in the world for playing small ball and squeezing every ounce of talent out of that team last year.  I still believe that KU had more talent than K-State last year, with guys like Stuckey, Briscoe, Meier, and Reesing, but for whatever reason, that team quit halfway through the season.  KU was a couple plays away last year from beating Mizzou at Arrowhead and Colorado in Boulder, but the coaching (and the refusal to utilize a power running game) ultimately cost KU a solid 7-5/8-4 type of season.  Hell, KU was up on Texas Tech, 21-14, at the end of the 3rd quarter (in Lubbock).  KU also gave Nebraska all they could handle.  

I know you're really proud that K-State was able to squeak out a boring 17-10 win in Manhattan last year, but honestly, that game was a total fluke.  KU missed two or three field goals and had some really uncharacteristic turnovers in that game by way of the fumble.  K-State limited the possessions and basically snuck out with a flukey win, in a game that seemed like it only lasted for about three quarters.  Regardless, I'll take a recent BCS Bowl victory and three out of the last four wins over one bowl in six years any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

PS.  In 52-21, Prince had a lot of would-be contributors in the doghouse who would have made a difference.

We just didn't have Mangino coaching.  Would have won easily if we had. 




Yeah, K-State would have easily made up those 31 points if Carson Coffman was starting in place of Josh Freeman.

2 things I'd like to clear up here....

1)  KU fans, administration, media, marketing department (myself included) got incredibly cocky after the Y.O.D.  There really isn't any arguing it.  We did say some stupid things, we put a 80 ft tall banner of our current QB on outside of our stadium, tried to launch a stadium expansion (after 1 year...1 year...of sellouts) and launched the now incredibly ironic "history awaits" campaign.   I don't blame myself, as a matter of fact I am glad we exploited the YOD as it was incredible for us and I loved every minute of it.  Including going to a freaking Orange Bowl, staying in South Beach, and WINNING.  I loved the YOD.  I hope someday in my lifetime we have another YOD.  So for those making fun of us celebrating our YOD.....screw you....it was a magical year.

2) Turner Gill was an incredible reach and an incredible gamble hire.  I am not sure how anybody can debate it.  His resume is weak and unimpressive.  He does seem like a guy that can motivate and the players seem to "like him"  We will see which way works better.  I have always been under the belief system that football coaches are not your "friend" and with that many kids in one team, it goes from being a "friend" to walking all over somebody very quickly.  I think Turner's pledge is hokey.  I think his chants and acronyms are sophomoric and will not work long  term.   He does have some good assistants who have shown the ability to recruit at other places.  We will see if that translates to Lawrence.  I will tell you what I have told everybody.  I hope this experiment works.  My confidence level on it, however, is somewhere around 2 out of 10.   There are too many red flags already.

Good post, Wave.  The thing that gives me confidence about Gill is the fact that he brought in a coaching staff that has experience at the BCS level, and a coaching staff that has proven it can recruit top talent.  I agree that the pledges and stuff are pretty cheesy, and it's not really my style, but there were plenty of things I didn't like about Mangino as well.  Let's just give this guy a chance first before we compare him to the joke of a coach that was Ron Prince.

I'll take a recent BCS Bowl victory and three out of the last four wins over one bowl in six years any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

I'll take 14 of the last 17 (kinda guessing on that) over 3 of 4.  I would also take a conference championship over a BCS win (provided its not the title game) and no conf championship appearances.  So I guess we're both happy with what we got.

Why stop at 17?  How about 37 of 102?  Or maybe we could just shorten it to 2 out of 6?

I think that we can all agree that when it comes to programs that aren't in the top 10 historically, "all time series" numbers are ridiculous.  It's about how well you have done during the lifetime of potential recruits and their parents.

KU basketball enjoys this exemption, because they are a top 10 basketball program historically.  So, even if KSU rattled off a series of MBB wins, KU would still recruit very well because they have quite a bit to hang their hat on.  Similarly, just because KU won a couple in football under a now infamously dirty coach, it doesn't really count for that much because over the course of recruits and their parents lives, KSU has been vastly better at football.

You'll see, it will play out that way (in football) over the next five years.  Trust me.

Because those favor you.  Therefore, I like my way better.  Also, mine exists within my lifetime, during a time period that I went to games and what not.

Curious as to KU's record against during the time period you want to games.  I'm guessing pretty close to 4-2.

Turner Gill was an incredible reach and an incredible gamble hire.  I am not sure how anybody can debate it.  His resume is weak and unimpressive.  He does seem like a guy that can motivate and the players seem to "like him"  We will see which way works better.  I have always been under the belief system that football coaches are not your "friend" and with that many kids in one team, it goes from being a "friend" to walking all over somebody very quickly.  I think Turner's pledge is hokey.  I think his chants and acronyms are sophomoric and will not work long  term.   He does have some good assistants who have shown the ability to recruit at other places.  We will see if that translates to Lawrence.  I will tell you what I have told everybody.  I hope this experiment works.  My confidence level on it, however, is somewhere around 2 out of 10.   There are too many red flags already.
