  @Texas-Hawk-10 Right I’m not saying it will be exactly the same but Micheal Cummings wasn’t a big guy that was a good QB in short yardage. You don’t have to be 6’5 to run but it helps.

  If at the break after the 6th game KU is not at least 2-4 and preferably 3-3, Beaty will likely be gone at that point and since the last 6 games will be loses, he will be gone at the end of the year any way. The offense might score point but I don’t see the defense as being any good. Short of a miracle, I just don’t see how Beaty survives.

  Barely beating Nichols State could have occurred under Zenger. But crushing the Fighting Nicks would be hard evidence that Jeff Long has helped Beaty get better, right? Won’t it be awesome when Jeff Long improves Beaty to .500 then 10 wins and the a B12 title? Athletic Directors are so vitally important to developing football coaches. Wouldnt it be a shame, if Jeff Long never got to show his other reputed gift of being able to hire big time coaches? I don’t know which to expect, or hope for. Either way, one of Jeff Logan’s gifts could be under appreciated. Sigh.

  @Texas-Hawk-10 my thoughts exactly. I think he may get fired. But $35M richer

  Texas Hawk 10 said: @JayHawkFanToo You don’t retain everyone on staff and I didn’t agree with keeping Bowen because he can’t scheme for crap. Reggie Mitchell was put best recruiter while he was here and RB’s was also one of the strongest position groups while he was here. He was worth retaining which two coaches did before he left for Arkansas. Tony Hull is definitely worth trying to retain, but I think it will take promoting him to offensive coordinator to have any chance to retain him. I wouldn’t have any problem with that. – aROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

  I’m very interested to just see what size we have on the line. Last two seasons our guys have been grossly undersized. If the the strength and conditioning program is actually at a D1 level, they should be pretty close to a normal P5 line this season. At least size-wise. What should really help is more depth. We have added some guys so the drop off to a second stringer should be less. If the line improves, the entire offense should look much better.

  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.

  @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.
