not sure why some of you guys are surprised by the hire unless you're saying one thing and believing the other. ku football hc job is the worst in all of p5 football. their facilities are terrible. they weren't going to get anyone with a pulse.
i don't think it's a bad hire. it's risky but that's the situation they're in. and there really is no downside.
the guy knows texas HS recruiting and that's all that really matters. hire an OC who knows his stuff and move forward, no way Bowen leaves KU, he'll be the DC.
