  Also sounds like both Bragg and Martin could have the chance to be grad transfers like Hartzog or transfer down to a lower level to play right away if they don’t have the credits. I wish them luck but if you can’t make the 2 deep at Kansas, which I doubt any of these guys would have, your gonna have trouble playing for a D1 team. That being said best of luck to these guys in whatever they decide to do, I don’t blame for not wanting to ride the pine so late in their careers. Edit: Bragg is a injury issue as well according to LJW.

  Anybody remember when KC ran the old wing t for part of a year? It worked very well for about 3 games.

  I figured it was because so many players got injured last year there were multiple “starters” at each position. Since they had the offseason to heal up they’re back. Returning 19 of 22 legit starters should give everyone a real good idea what Beaty’s coaching is actually doing.

  @Woodrow It doesn’t matter what anyone else says about Beaty, former player or not, when you keep changing your vision of what you want the program to be, keep reassigning coaching duties, and abandon your recruiting strategy, it’s going to lead to failure. The longer David Beaty remains head coach, the longer it will take KU to begin an actual rebuild.

  Was great to see this happen, figured he’d go 3rd or 4th round. TE Ben Johnson signed a undrafted free agent deal with San Diego, sadly I felt we never used Ben to his capabilities. Sad to see some of the talent we have not add up to more wins or even competitive games, prob 3 or 4 guys on this years defense that have a good shot at going pro and a few on offense.

  Who are your top candidates to replace Beaty?

  @Texas-Hawk-10 I was talking about experience at major programs and not necessarily success. I just don’t see any coach with ties to KU that could step in, say in the next 3 to 5 years; Manning has been a disappointment at Wake Forest. KU commands a high level coach; hopefully Coach Self stays at KU for at least another 10 years in which time someone could have developed enough to step in.

  Imagine the tragic absurdity of getting brain damage playing for a program as awful as KU. I cannot even find the words for it. Rock Chalk…uh…Rock Chalk…um…

  @nuleafjhawk I agree with you. For decades I watched or listened to Saturday afternoon KU games in the fall. There was some good years and bad ones. For several years now I don’t even acknowledge that KU plays football and won’t til they are no longer pathetic. If KU can’t find a coach to win games, then maybe it’s time to replace those who are doing the hiring.

  @Texas-Hawk-10 Absolutely agree. Skill guys, particularly RBs and WRs, can help right away because if you have speed, or elusiveness, that translates right away, particularly if you play for a coach that can get you in good situations.

  The CFP is a joint venture owned and operated by the FBS conferences (all 10 of them). They negotiated the TV deal which runs until a couple of years after after the Big 12 TV deal does. The Big 12 appears to be a zombie league since ESPN and Fox each refused to bump up the TV deal up to allow expansion and will likely be divided up in a few years. The CFP will then expand to 8 teams with the next TV deal and the conference title games will be the quarter final games. That’s 7 games total for an 8 team playoff. Rotate between the 6 games in use now for the CFP and New Year’s 6 games (Cotton, Fiesta, Orange, Peach, Rose, and Sugar) and keep bidding out the title game like now.

  Well I went back and made notes from the seasons gams and stats & two things really jump out to a huge issue for this joke of a season. They were # 1: - - Points off turnovers , Ku was outscored off points off turnovers 15-117 - we got 15 points off turnovers - -holy crap., - But that goes in hand with turnover ratio - - KU forced NINE - -nine turnovers the entire year - -we committed 26 - -so the ratio 9-26 - -speaks volumes. I was actually surprised - we had 21 sacks on the year- -BUT we gave up 29 sacks. We had 5 int’s and only 4 fumble recoveries, there is a really good starting point for this season that just plain sucked. Actually Rushing defense for KU was ok - in 9 out of the 12 games: Southeast Missouri St ( 94 ) - - -Central Michigan ( 123 ) - - -Ohio ( 196 )- - - Iowa State ( 106 ) - - -TCU ( 191 )- - - Baylor ( 120 ) - - -Texas ( 113 ) - - -Oklahoma ( 157 ) - -& Oklahoma State ( 167 ) Now I realize that their passing may have help the rush defense some - BUT Southeast Missouri had ( 170 ) passing - - -Ohio ( 254 )- - - Iowa State ( 212 ) TCU ( 284 ) - - so those games was average anyways - -BUT again turnovers, turnovers, turnovers just killed us. AND plus we had a punter that shanked 1/2 of his punts were the opposition had really short fields to work against. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

  @HighEliteMajor Couldn’t agree more, winning is all that matters unfortunately. Mangino was a perfectionist and a an asshole from my sources that played for him but they all said their HS coach was tougher to deal with. He too was highly successful. At least we ain’t Baylor and Penn State with sickening issues they’ve had. I think we saw the the same coach is mean crap with Frank Martin at KSU. It was fine when they made an elite 8 but terrible when they were preseason top 5 only to squeak into the NCAAs. They basically forced out the best they’ve had in the last 30 years because according to my KSU guys he was too hard on Will Spradling.
