People forget that KU had more recent success than Stanford back when we were trying to hire Harbaugh.
Stanford:
2007 - 4-8
2008 - 5-7
2009 - 8-5
Kansas:
2007 - 12-1
2008 - 8-5
2009 - 5-7
Even in 2009, KU started the year 5-0 and in the top 15. Our football program had just built a brand new $31 million football complex and had set an all-time attendance record. It wasn't a dire situation like it was when Gill was fired in '11. Who knows whether or not Harbaugh would have been successful at KU, or left after one season, but it couldn't have been any worse than what transpired under Gill.
Is there anyone else on this earth that lives in the past more than Beems. Everyday is the 07-08' season in his mind.
It's kinda how I imagine Putin views russia and the soviet union.
"We can't invade Ukraine, it's a sovereign country!"
"Bro, we were just there in like 1989. They love us."
