This, and 8-4 in year three of Leipold reign are two things as a Kansas fan I don’t think I’d ever utter.

Unfortunately that's the price of success in the KU Football program.
Let's hope Lance is NOT next - soon.

And also thy it’s the system as much as it was Kotelnicki. Although I wish him luck at PSU. My BFF is all Penn State all the time. We agree not to ever talk about Sandusky.

Edit: When we toured Beaver Stadium earlier this year, he and our guide got to talking KU basketball and the guide made some remark about our basketball scandal.

I simply said ‘let’s go easy now, I can cite recent history if I need to.’

But also admitted that Self and everyone here had to know what was going on. Especially when the allegations were limited to basketball operations.

I can't blame Kotelnicki for taking the job.

Not great.
Also let’s not call him Coach K.

How about KNick.

I suspect the KU offense won't take a step back.

I'm actually looking forward to running a little more straight ahead offense...especially in the red zone...it'll be interesting to see who they hire.

If Kansas basketball can replace Roy Williams, who will go down as one of the 10 best coaches in the sport's history with a guy who is even better, then KU football can replace an offensive coordinator.

Of course. But KU football doesn’t have a history of success like KU basketball does, so it’s normal that it causes a slightly more puckered response.

If I think about Bill Self, then I don't trust Leipold.
If given the opportunity, why won't/wouldn't he leave for a job at a more elite program that might/will pay him substantially more money than KU will?

Maybe I am just gullible and believe that he wants to continue to do the work he came here to do. Leipold was brought here and came here to accomplish a specific thing and maybe he simply wants to do what he came here to do. I am a project guy and like to see a project through to the end even if it takes a long time so I get it.

How about we quit worrying about all this and just enjoy the fact that we all look FORWARD to a Kansas Football game?

Lance will be here until he isn't.

I think oil and water in this move. Penn State is conservative even in a conservative conference. I had to laugh at one of the YouTube commenters who mentioned that he would be taking on "elite" athletes. He is leaving elite offensive athletes to take on a program stuck in 1980. He should have waited for a HC position. Penn State is a graveyard for OCs.

Penn State is a graveyard for OCs, in no small part, because Franklin seem to run the bus over OCs repeatedly.

My thoughts too. He has had several. Ego is toxic. Andy should have played the long game. There are several good openings already

Maybe they promised him full control of play calling or something. Obviously the or something would be $.
