Fire Chris Klieman

[wetwillie]

He should try to make Nathan Scheelhaase OC

Unfortunately he makes nearly as much as messingham already

[420seriouscat69]

We’ll be fine. That game was just a mess.

Dana Dimel has UTEP at 6–1. Can he come calm the waters?

People on here absolutely hated him too. Lol

The Mustang was never ever going to fail to give the Meadowlark at least 5 years no matter what.

I think you have to or you start looking like KU. He hasn’t had scandal or been like 1-11 levels bad so he will get 5 years.

Which is really how it should be for any football coach, barring sociopathic behavior or recruiting completely cratering.

Agree. You have to have some stability. Head coach has to be able to assemble a quality staff tho. He has to be able to get rid of underperforming assistants as well.

I don’t know what the payroll budget is for assistants, but you also gotta be able to pay for quality assistants.

Mess can get lost.

However, no D-coordinator can scheme his way to victory with the lack of talent and depth we have on the defensive side of the football. Our LB corps is absolute dog crap. It's on the coaches for trying to convert a QB, safety, and playing folks who have no business being on the field at a P5 level.  Our secondary is forced to play in the box because our LBs can't make a tackle. Our D-line, obviously, has been obliterated by injuries.

We have a recruiting problem and Kliegoober has demonstrated he is no better than Snyder in this department. His seat is going to get toasty if next week looks anything like this week.

Yeah, our edge rush is non existent since Duke and Co. went down. The rare push we get is on the interior, and we often don’t have anyone setting the edge so mobile QBs either get a nice pocket or scramble outside and have time to make a play.

I still think a Mess offense can still be effective in the B12, but they have to be willing to run the QB 12-15 times a game. If you aren’t willing to do that, then you better be able to recruit much better.

Sky has no business playing with his injury in an offense that needs the QB run. He can’t be asked to do it, but the rest of the QB room is a mess & we have no other option. We have a HC with a $15M buyout whose plan for QB next year is transfer portal roulette.

[pissclams]

klieman, taylor, and whoever hired taylor all need to be dismissed

[Trim]

It always comes down to Renz.

[sonofdaxjones]

Gonna need to transfer portal hard for a QB.

MoValley Messingham probably isn’t a QB magnet right now.

Might need a separate thread for these folks.

[star seed 7]

 How long will "the streak" continue?

[star seed 7]

If ku is removed from the conference, does fuckhead ever win another league game?

[fatdamon]

i'm not sure ol' potato face is long for qhuatland

[sys]

if we can't fire him because of money or whatever, we have to at least place him on the hot seat.  our dignity as a university demands it.

[Trim]

Don't fire Fh, just have him stay home and mail him his checks.  Get Gruden or Orgeron to coach for free as image rehab projects while they're already collecting paid from gigs they just lost.

I hate him but this is a goddamned great idea that Jamie Pollard would never allow to happen.

[MakeItRain]

I have a feeling he will be our coach for 2 or 3 more years.

First of all, there are very few programs that should be firing coaches after three years without scandal or an overwhelming number of losses. I don't know how many times this has to go poorly, in how many different places for athletic directors to get it. I'm glad Gene understands that hiring and firing coaches from the fickle nature of message boards and social media.

That being said, if Klieman doesn't end up working out, the timing of him getting gassed after 5 or 6 years couldn't work out any better. Well be finishing up facility improvements, again, and we'll be strolling into a new Big 12 that doesn't have two programs recruiting 30-40 places higher than everyone else. We'll be much better positioned to get a guy than we were in 2018.

What are the issues with the staff that need to be fixed?

Defense has been pretty atrocious over the last two years.  Klanderman's seat should be pretty warm imo, same with Stanard, who was kind of a scramble hire anyway, iirc.  The interior DL is a bit of a concern.

I have fewer gripes about the offense, but we've got to find a way to address the WR room, which seems like it's been near the bottom of the conference in terms of talent for the duration of CK's tenure.

I don't know how you scheme your way out of that LB room. (Or any other room with an injury or two)

LBs are all healthy though.  They just stink.
