I do have to laugh a little at Beems take given that ku hired Don Fambrough twice: Tthey brought him back after he went 16-17 his first time around, and when you consider that 2 out of their last 3 hires were Terry "NIU" Allen and Turner "Losing Record at Buffalo" Gill.


And Mason quit (twice), stepping up the ladder to take the worst job in the Big 10.  



Minnesota is not the worst job in the Big 10. 

If there is one thing Ben knows, it's being the worst job in a conference



KU is not the worst job in the Big 12.

So you're saying Snyder might make as much as Turner Gill did... if you include his bonuses.

Why do you think KU is a good job when every national media outlet puts it on par with UAB?

If they don't get Leavitt with Cheyenne's connections, they should just can his ass and let BGL make the hire. Seriously, they should have made that hire by now.

Because the current AD at K-State wasn't going to cave and pay a 70 year old guy some absurd sum of money, when he had already been paid millions of dollars the first time around and given a $1 million dollar annuity after his first retirement.

Just because Lew Perkins tossed around cash like a drunk and ended up saddling ku with over $10 million dollars in buyouts (partially for himself, nice job Lew!!) . . . that's why ku athletics has gone from operating well in the black, to literally breaking even, as in NO net revenue reported in FY 2011, none.

This thread has really made my afternoon...

Just imagine if KU had a DoD of our own to sell... we might be able to bring in a random offensive coordinator from the ACC, or maybe even the Big East.  It's times like these when I wish KU had our very own 72 year-old grandpa waiting to come out of retirement.  Maybe one day we'll make it to the mountain top.  One can certainly hope, right?

Only sad part was that he didn't push the "mountaintop" phrase for a few more pages worth of comments. After "Glass Houses" day a few days ago and "Mountaintop" today, I thought we could make a BMWJayhawk BBS Phrase of the Day flip page calendar or something. Maybe sell it for BBBS.
