The official new head coach bio/info thread of hope/change/dreams

[sonofdaxjones]

Is Tom Herman under contract yet? When is the presser?

[AppleJack]

Is it better to suffer through another year of dementiaball than to be the 10th best opening this year?

This is actually the very question I struggle with.  I mean, he won't can Dimel or Hayes so we can continue to expect recruiting on the laziest of all levels.  I suspect Dimel will adapt or he will never work again.  Hayes will go back to Tanners

[wetwillie]

the recruiting is only going to get worse

[Dugout DickStone]

Afraid so.  What if they double down on the "we can sign up kids with no offers and coach them into winners" strategy?  We could see the first all Kansas team ever fielded in NCAA history?

Why do you guys think the job is so bad because I don't agree at all. I feel like some of you calling this a bad job are the same ones that would be pissed if a coach used the "I can't recruit here" excuse.

[Dugout DickStone]

I think it's a great job.  I just think the combination of following Bill and the talent level might be a hindrance if we get into a head to head competition with Va Tech or Miami

We have a trump card now...

If anything, it's Currie that would make it a "bad job".

Again, it goes back to Currie. I can easily see Currie pulling someone away from either place, depending on the candidate.

[Dugout DickStone]

I think Currie focuses on fb enough that he won't be a detriment to picking our coach.

[michigancat]

Hope so. But he is kind of a weird guy and we've heard about Snyder hating him for various things. I can see why a coach would think he's a weird guy to work with and be scared off.

[chum1]

We only have to worry about Currie if we try to hire someone with options.

[chum1]

I like the novelty of replacing an old coach with another old coach. That said, if it was me, I'd ping Gary Barnett and suggest he start engaging in some illegal recruiting a la Bob Huggins.

[Blackcats]

Anyone. Literally anyone. Throw a rough ridin' dart.

How about Pan?
Has people skillz. Has never lost a game as head coach.

Has Snyder ever gotten along with an AD?

A control freak with a God complex usually doesn't get along with his "boss" well, by and large.

[star seed 7]

Most ads probably don't have to force their head football coach to accept upgrades

[Dugout DickStone]

Agreed.  Snyder only really got along with Weisee because Weiser basically worked for him.  Currie has shown he will work his ass off to build a Cadillac for the coach then give them the keys.

Currie fucjed with Frank because frank mumped with Currie.

if the rumor that Currie forbade Snyder from hiring his first coordinator choice after Cosh left is true, that's a bit more serious/worrisome than Snyder having a god complex who hates any "boss".

refresh me?

[BackPayne]

If it's going to happen I hope it does very soon. I want our new coach before signing day so he can bring in some of his cruits.

I don't know if that's true or not.  Currie probably isn't fun to work with, but I really can't imagine LHC Bill Snyder considering him more than an annoyance.

I'm with Dickstone in the fact that Currie has given Bill about $160+ million reasons to have a good working relationship.  Gundy has had a similar relationship with his AD, but he's stayed because it's hard to find a situation where you never have to worry about money or facilities. 

The problem is that Bill doesn't give a crap about that.  He'd just as well have practice in the middle of a field and have games in CiCo park.

It's true. But that donor is dead, we have his money, and everyone kissed and made up last December.

Isn't this the rumor that we had Jim Leavitt on the line, possibly as a HC in waiting/ or co HC/DC, and Currie nixed it?

Nah man, remember in that one video he said he really wanted a training table!
