At least people have heard of Turner Gill. Most of these other candidates appear to be have chosen (at random) from the phone book.

I am the very definition of patient. . . . why would I be impatient about ku's football hire.

There's no where to go but up for the Big 12's worst football program.

Those last couple of names would be much, much worse than Gill. They have to be a joke.

They probably are a joke, but think about this:

1) KU fired a coach two years after he won an Orange Bowl
2) KU fired the next coach two years into the job
3) KU is hiring a coach in a season with an unusually high number of really good job openings

That job is pretty toxic right now. They might get a decent guy, though. However, most coaches that would normally be interested would probably prefer some other guy do the heavy lifting to fix the mess before they really considered taking the job.

Why do all of ku's "good" recruits play the same position?

Any word on how the Francione meeting went?

Would hire Fran ASAP and get those doughboys in the weightroom they haven't seen in 2 years. Please include goEMAW on the secret newsletter distro. T-Y Hawkz.

I think we'll end up with Doeren at the very least. These other guys are just smoke screens.

So, another MAC coach is your idea of Christmas? Are you a rough ridin' Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)?

Urban Meyer was a MAC coach. Nick Saban was a MAC coach. Plenty of really good coaches have come from the MAC.

jtksu · « **Reply #1132 on:** December 05, 2011, 12:34:57 AM »

Yes, because Doeren is clearly the next Meyer/Saban. Gill was also from the MAC bro.

llinois might come calling as well. Not sure which would be the better job.

Yes, Doeren should be your last resort. He's had more success in the MAC than Gill, but he also has the head to head loss this season. Honestly, Fran would be a safe bet to get KU to consistent 5 or 6 win seasons. It would be much easier to find a quality coach once KU gets to that level. Either coach would make for a decent last resort. It just depends on whether KU wants to go the huge risk/big reward route or the lower risk/super low ceiling route.

Doeren was defensive coordinator at Wisconsin and recruited a lot of the talent that won KU an Orange Bowl. JohnTuckKSUFans.com.

Ohio State: I am told on Sunday that Urban Meyer shifted his focus to Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn, who remains a candidate for a head coaching position at Kansas. Malzahn has already interviewed for the head coaching job at UNC.

phog.net is now clinging to 1) Full Fulmer and 2) Dick Koetter

hilarious amounts of rationalization going on over there

jtksu · « **Reply #1148 on:** December 06, 2011, 08:36:43 PM »

Fulmer would be a solid "calm the waters" hire.

Kansas: I'm hearing former Tennessee head coach Phil Fulmer has emerged as a leading candidate. Do not be shocked if Memphis gauges the interest of Fulmer for the Tigers' head coaching job.

Squawks getting beat out by Memphis??
