Gill fired/KU coach search/Weiss master thread

[ew2x4]

I've seen zero evidence that Weis can coach on the collegiate level, and successfully manage a team. He was pretty good in the NFL, though.

[Cartierfor3]

Except Weis can recruit at a higher level, and he'll bring in some top notch assistants as well.  Just an absolute homerun hire for KU.


 

If you like highly rated recruiting classes, teams that get progressively worse over time, and rascals, then you'll LOVE the Charlie Weis era.   

[Cartierfor3]

"Why are you taking the job at the University of Kansas?"

"Kansas State was 10-2. Why is Kansas 2-10? I don't know, but I'm here to find out."

Does he really not know why?  Charlie, ku has terrible players, coaches, fans, and facilities.  KSU has good players, fans, facilities, and FANTASTIC coaches.  Boom, case closed fat dumbass Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). 

[Rams]

This is really simple folks.  It's one last cash grab before he takes his buyout and retires to Florida in 2 or 3 years.  Why do you think he left his wife and daughter in Florida?

Charlie: "I'm taking the KU job"
Mrs. Weiss: "You want me to move to KENTUCKY now?"
Charlie: "No. It's in Kansas."
Mrs. Weiss: "KANSAS!?!11!?"
Charlie: "Now hear me out.  They want to pay me..."
Mrs. Weiss: "I don't care.  IT'S IN KANSAS!!1!1!"
Charlie: "$12.5 million and you can stay here."
Mrs. Wiess: "I'm listening..."
Charlie: "We can't pass up this money.  My coaching stock is dropping like a rock and my body is falling apart. I'll phone it in for a couple of years and you can use the private plane as much as you want and I'll be done in a couple of years and we can retire comfortably here in Florida."
Mrs. Weiss: "whatevs"

KU Fans: 
The rest of college football nation:

Mangino went to four bowls in eight seasons at KU, including a 12-1 Orange Bowl season in which he won National Coach of the Year honors.  He also owned both Mizzou and K-State.  If Weis can do that, I'll be ecstatic. 

[OregonSmock]

Ok, time for a reality check...

Charlie has only had success with Tom Brady as his qb. That's fact, not arguable.  So unless Brady strolls into Lawrence, 3-5 wins a season is the cap here.  Sorry to piss in your Cheerios, Ben.

Weis went to two BCS Bowls in his first couple years at Notre Dame and developed Brady Quinn and Jimmy Clausen into 1st/2nd round draft picks.  Next.

KU has better fans than K-State.  We actually sell out our stadium when the team is good.  KU has better facilities than K-State... and it's really not even close.  KU has equal talent as K-State aside from a few positions.  The only difference the past couple of years was that KU had Turner Gill and K-State had LHC Bill Snyder.  Sorry to break it to you.

[OregonSmock]

Don't question Beem's expertise on coaching!

10. Turner Gill will exceed expectations in his first year.

If you've ever been to Buffalo, you know that Gill's success there proves he can make something out of next to nothing.

That should serve him well at Kansas, where, at least from the outside, he has inherited a dumpster fire.

Departed head coach Mark Mangino helped the Jayhawks earn a little respect on the national level, but he may have left the program in worse shape than the mess he inherited.

As rumors of dissension within the team began to swirl, KU imploded down the stretch in 2009 with seven straight losses to close the year.

The ugly divorce with Mangino seemingly cast a pall over the program.

Yet, the situation in Lawrence isn't quite as dire as portrayed. The toxic atmosphere surrounding the team appeared to contribute heavily to the late-season swoon. In that respect, the regime change should pump some new life into the program.

The Jayhawks also bring back an experienced offensive line, which should help take some heat off the winner of the upcoming quarterback competition.

Maybe the biggest question will be what Carl Torbush can accomplish with Kansas' underachieving defense in his first year.

Granted, KU won't be playing in any BCS games this year. However, don't be surprised if the Jayhawks earn a bowl bid.

don't be surprised!

Wait... you guys actually think I wrote that? 


 

[ECO_CAT]

Just watched the Weis press conference and I must say, the guy is a terrible speaker and a flat out moron. If he couldn't get the job done at ND there is NO WAY he will at ku. PLUS... his family didn't even follow him in the move to Lawrence! His wife and daughter are living, and will continue to live in Florida. Sounds like the making for a well thought out long-term position... Oh, and Sheahon Zenger is a douchebag.

His teams got progressively worse until he was eventually flushed down the shitter like a fat log. Next.

You have a track around your field.  End of discussion.

ah Oregon Hawk...KU football is so cute and cuddly.

btw, KSU has more wins in football than KU over the past 62 years.  I'd look for that trend to continue.

I can smell the stench of fear all the way up here in Oregon.

Your pressbox is the smallest in the Big 12, and your stadium is in the middle of a bunch of pig/sheep fields.  Next.

Nice run y'all had.  Can't wait to see Sean Snyder coaching 'em up in a few years!

You're mistaken; that's actually the stench of a successful hire.  It's coming from Pullman.

[ew2x4]

Did you think we were "scared" of Turner Gill? I honestly can't remember. Safe money is yes,

Snyder's a robot that we won't turn off for a while.  He'll keep working.  He doesn't need a Tom Brady or Brady Quinn to win.

btw, thoroughly enjoyed your comment about Weis being a good recruiter...you do realize that he's recruiting to Kansas and not Notre Dame, right?  I believe he had a few more options there and that was before his name had taken hits in the college game.  Bombing out at KU and producing the 102nd ranked offense with UFla's talent doesn't do much for his legacy.  That will continue to take a pounding at Kansas.  Snyder's locking his chops over your hire.

We've got a 5-star QB coming in this weekend, and we'll be involved with several big-time recruits/coaches in the coming weeks.  You are so uninformed/ignorant when it comes to this hire that I'm going to assume someone hacked into your account and is posing as the real Manhatter. 

[OregonSmock]

Terrified. 


    

[wazucat]

"involved with several big-time recruits/coaches"   

"KU has options"   

[pondwater jack]

It's funny to me that KSU's coach left and you guys hired Wies after making fun of our DC (who wasn't worth a damn anyway) leaving. 

Now Wies will coach you guys after a months work.  Our chances are lookin better all the time.

So nice to see O-H happy with KU's football program again.  I'd say KU made a "Weis" hire, here.
