11 - - Mike Nice ? - - Ball State : MAC champs 2020 Nice brings dynamic passing game from his time with the New Orleans Saints and just showed the patience to endure a long rebuild at Ball State.
Then Yahoo talked about the possibility of KU naming an Interim Coach - -And they were ,:
1 Long has tabbed OC Coach Mike Debord as the point person for now - -Debord chances depend on who is in charge. Has close relationships with Long and Miles both , that could hurt his chance and only been her a month and hasn’t had time to build strong relationship with the players.
2 They said if KU decides to fire Long , & hire a new AD and then they run a search for after 2021 then most likely Candidate would be DC Cordinator DJ Elliot . 9 Seasons as a DC at a P-5 school and has had stints at Kentucky & Colorado. Of the returning Coaches he would be by far the best resume.
What a mess , Who knows - -but just passing along

Well now that it is official just showing this again. -Yahoo Sports came out with these names there would be a couple of them I wouldn’t mind them checking into. - -Mike Nice from ball State - - - Candle from to Toledo Or Leipold might be nice
