Jayhawks in London

@Texas-Hawk-10 I don’t think they should fire LL right now but man that was rough. It’s like we haven’t worked on 2 minute defense or offense since he came to town. The problem is most P4 coaches are packing their bags if they win 2 or 3 games in year 6. You also have to figure he made all sort of demands to stay here including the new stadium. It’s a pretty shitty look to demand stuff and then not even make a bowl for 3 straight years.

I could understand hanging onto Lance or moving on from him. My personal stance would be to let this season play out and move on if he doesn't turn things around. Something to consider: if it weren't for our horrendous sucktitude from 2009-2021 and our fear of regressing to such a state there is almost no chance Lance would still be our coach.
-
K-State is 3-0. We're 1-2 with no hope of winning another game. It's comforting to know that some things never change.
America! Where you have the right to be wrong.
-
@Jayhawk_69 this is true and I’m personally fine if we give him next year but if we want a good hire, we would need to up our NIL budget. It appears most of that 300 million dollar donation went to the stadium and not to the players. By the time the stadium is done we will have some of the nicest facilities in the B12. Cignetti turned Indiana around instantly. If you get the right guy here, it’s doable.

We would be 3-0 with their cupcake schedule as well.

@kjayhawks2.0 I'd like to believe that's true but I'm not 100% convinced

Lance is 2-8 in recent one score games. One perspective is that he has made us "competitive." Is that enough? We lost by one score to a team that has essentially the same NIL football budget. Could have won if we'd have cleaned up the mistakes. Remember . . . the stats were in our favor. Let's hope the staff can clean up the mistakes moving forward.
BTW The up and coming coach is at Tulsa -- Tre Lamb. One last thought: It's not an even playing field. Our football NIL is 11th in the 16-team Big 12. -
@nuleafjhawk We would not be 3-0 with K-State's schedule. In at least one of those games, we would have fumbled, blundered, blustered, and clowned our way to a slapstickishy comical loss
-
Ugh. Fugly to watch at times.
Lance has made us competitive. So can’t argue there. But it would be nice to win winnable games once in a while. The laughably predictable ways we lose games is just painful to watch.
I know it’s just one factor, but that punter. Omg.
Take away whatever that one punt was supposed to be and I still wish we had another punter. Just watching that style of running around before he kicks it makes me wanna vomit. Stop running around and just Kick the freaking ball! Embarrassing.
I admit I fell asleep on the couch for lots of the second half, so missed lots, but Marshall doesn’t seem like an adequate QB.
Play calling and execution were both bad.
I’m sad to say we may not win another game this year.
-
Marshall played well in the second half. He has definitely taken a huge step forward since last week and this loss is not on him in any way shape and form.
It is a shame that we wasted the one good defensive performance we will get this year on a humiliating loss.
There is no hope for the rest of the season. We will not learn from this loss. We will not become a better team from here on out. We will not be resilient. We will not be successful.

Cignetti doesn't win the title last year without Mark Cuban's money. Yes, he is a great coach, but without Cuban's NIL money, he doesn't get Indiana over the 8-9 plateau because he wouldn't have the money to retain his good players and bring in top transfers.

I'll have to wake up and watch the second half. Marshall seemed up to his old inaccurate tricks early on. It seems like the coaching staff couldn't trust him to throw the ball. Third and long ... run.
Also, generally speaking, i think our defense has been good to respectable -- except for a few idiotic plays here and there. Run game D seems good.
I just looked at the game stats. wow. we outgained em by quite a margin!!! how did we lose?
-
Marshall was not great. But he was not awful either. He played okay, which is more than we can say about many other players.
In the first half he and our offense couldn't do anything, but in the second half Marshall made some great throws and was consistently moving the ball. He threw one pick, but that was in a 4th and 10 desperation situation that he was put in by the failures elsewhere on our team.
Outgaining them by 200 yards and still losing is something you just have to admire. Nobody loves losing as much as Kansas football and we are damn good at it
