That Rittenberg article is shite. I've read like half dozen of these coaching grade articles and any one of them that doesn't ridicule the Hugh Freeze hire should be mocked then dismissed, Rittenberg gave Liberty an A.

Seems like a good hire to me.  Their version of Huggins.

That's an awful comparison, read up on Hugh Freeze. I guess it's an A in the sense that he's perfect for Ian McCaw and those hypocrites at liberty.

I think it's an accurate comparison.  Freeze is a good coach just like huggs.  Huggins had the dui.  Freeze had strippergate.  Just because Freeze was doing shady things doesn't mean he can't win football games.  I'm mean if you're Liberty, and you're willing to look like a hypocrite, this is the best hire they could've made.  They were never going to be able to land a coach of Freeze's level without something like this happening.

That's fair.

I honestly don’t know that much about recruiting, but how much can you really attribute to a coach after a few weeks at the school?

Not much unless your a 'seed from Lawrence expecting big things. Yes, there are several that thought Miles would flash a ring and the recruits would come running. But they are still KU, they just don't get that.

He is 65 years old.  Who wants to play for an old balls coach.  He could die on the sideline at any moment or get dementia halfway through the season.

It's hard to hate on their class with just a month on the job and not being able to hire anyone on his stuff, but holy crap that class is an absolutely disaster.

There is seriously only one I would take (the Russell kid.. well ok, probably the massive human being DT too).

I don’t think Les is interested in over working himself from what I’ve heard....

Chances Charlie Weiss and Les Miles texted before Les got hired?  I'm guessing pretty high.

Charlie: Heard you were thinking about retiring soon.

Les: Yeah, found I nice pad on the 9th green at Sarasota.  Woulda put a down payment on it too if I weren’t so cash poor.

Charlie: Have you ever been to Lawrence?

KU made the better hire....Miles is a sure fire grantee

I don't actually hope that Les is a replay of the Weis debacle, but the rubes in lawrentucky and the rube fan base sure fall for some pretty damn big scams.   Makes our hire of Prince Ron with the notebooks look enlightened.

I want them to be good enough that we get to rip their hearts out each year when we win.

But first, I want him to bomb yext year. They need to get 100 losses in 10 years. They deserve that much at least. Too much time and lack of effort to let that potential milestone go to waste.

It can’t be emphasized enough that virtually every player will be better next season. More focus, better coached, schemes that make sense to the personnel

Trust the guy with a Ring and 3 decades of experience at P5 Level

They're going to win way more than 2 games next year.

Eh, I don't know. Most of the teams that they'd have a shot to beat; TCU, BC, Iowa State... are on the road. For home games, they've got two winnable ones to start the season, and then everything else is questionable until they close the season out with Baylor.

If TCU hadn't screwed the pooch this year, I'd feel pretty confident they go 3-9 next year and become the first program to have 100 losses in 10 seasons. I agree, it's not likely, but the possibility is still very much there.

they will find a way to keep Pooka eligible but without him they would be in serious trouble. they graduated a lot.
replacing all the WRs.
the OL will take a small hit but they do return their RBs who are pretty good.
their leading tacklers are gone but young secondary will improve.
any injuries on the lines, which they avoided this year, would be a catastrophe next yr

I just can't believe they keep chasing the JuCo's like this every year........Les doesn't have the guts to bite the bullet, suck for a couple of years and build the roster from Freshman who red-shirt because he wants to "compete" now......trouble is they go JuCo and still lose........not exactly "Breaking the Cycle"  :confused:

Yep. That's Fusker-level stuff there, if true. He's cooked.
