Considering the circumstances I think it’s a good hire. Goff is green but has been around one of the best in the business for quite awhile.
I also think the coaching search moves FAST now. The search firm already is vetting and gauging interest. Leipold would take the gig tomorrow if offered.

I agree with you on how quick they move. With the Ad in place , everything I’ve been hearing that Leipold really wants this job, and I think again from things I’ve heard well John Q Public wants Leipold also - - hell I think he would be sweet also - -and I’m thinking he is in pretty favorable spot with the group looking for the Coach.
All things considered really don’t think we could ask for much better, plus I think from everything I’ve heard and his field success he can turn things around. We’ve went with the Big Name Coach’s and look where tha has got us , really don’t think I want to go that route anymore. - -Thing is - -are we just another step up higher of a stepping stone for Leipold? Just time will tell , not sure how he does in his recruiting but I’m hyped about his possible hire anyways - - I’m ready to give him his shot. - -Hell we might have a New A d by Monday and maybe even a Coach by Friday. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Farmer ? - - -we getting a new AD named tomorrow buddy ? - - have you heard ? - - Coach by the end of the week ? - -Goff & Leipold hopefully? - -what you thinking ? any updates buddy ?

Goff and any day now. I would be stunned if the coaching search was done by week’s end. Thinking more end of April-ish

Really? still that far out on a Coach? - -thought the committee or Search had been having guys come in for interviews. - - Do they have to wait for the Ad or couldn’t Girod himself give the go ahead for that. That if it is stil that far out makes me think they won’t hire on during the Season and just let Jones have the reins for this Season

Yeah, the AD will want to do his own interviews in all likelihood even though TurnKey did their vetting and all that.

Goff. Wednesday presser.

-

if what your saying is true - - I would be very very happy. - -I want Leipold

Interviews starting tomorrow. Buckle up.
-
I’ll take Leipold, please and thanks.
Great tweet earlier - “this is going to come full circle. A Buffalo coach put us in this mess, and now one has to pull us out.”
-
@Kcmatt7 That Buffalo coach was one of about 35 coaches who put us in a mess.

Oh Buddy that sounds nice , like the sounds of that - just have to keep my fingers crossed
-
The football/athletic training facility at Northwestern is a site to behold. It’s right on Lake Michigan, simply spectacular. Goff’s fundraising ability at NU was incredible. I’m hoping he has the same impact at KU.
-
Getting some interest. He’d at least listen and probably interview. I have him at the top of tier 2 on my board. https://247sports.com/coach/Dan-Lanning-3823/
-
@FarmerJayhawk Would be very happy with
-
My gut feeling is for not to hire a new coach and see what Jones can do. He has support from players and hopefully recruits will not decommit.
With Jones I think that KU football will not be worse than last year.
-
@AsadZ I just don’t think you can hire him to be HC. He’s unqualified, period.
Keep him on the next staff.
-
One scenario is to let him be HC for one year and evaluate the progress and if enough progress is not seen hire a new coach next year. This can also provide greater number of candidates next year as it will be difficult to hire a new coach now, Spring practices are already underway.

he already had some support & backing of recruits when he wasn’t the interim Coach - -they was already backing him along with current players. I think if he remain Coach throughout this year - -this roster would stay in tact. Hell we took a chance many moons ago with the Basketball Coach. A fella named Roy Williams, he really didn’t have any head Coaching experience and we saw how that turned out. - -I know totally different but just saying.
Do I want him as a permnant HC don’t think so not right now anyways. - - just hoping they retain him whoever they hire
-
@AsadZ I think now is the right time to hire. There isn’t any competition from other schools in the market so we kind of have our pick. Leipold and Monken were both finalists for P5 jobs last year, so I don’t want to have to compete with other schools when hiring in December.
-
Your point makes sense as well.

Some poor guy who really needs a hobby wrote a way too long piece on candidates. Worth checking out tho https://gametheoryblog.wixsite.com/gametheory/single-post/kansas-football-coaching-search-a-tradition-unlike-any-other

It won’t be that quick. This time next week it could be done.

Interviews are going to wrap very soon. Think we pretty much know this weekend.

@FarmerJayhawk wiLL we?

@Kcmatt7 very LLikely. Goff is doing his due diligence and could find a Juicy Mystery candidate as well.

Been hearing some other names tossed around. STILL just fully believe in the end when it’s all said and done now - - going to be Leipold Or Monken - -dam those aren’t spelled right but you get what I mean lol
-
Well , just from everything I’ve been hearing lately is - -it just sounds like Monken just might edge out Leipold. - -I just can’t honestly say exactly how I feel if this turns out to be the case. I want Leipold but then who am I ? - -just a fan that’s all.
I have heard skuttle butt that if he comes that yes he is agreeable to change in offensive thinking - -He BETTER, that offense he ran at Army will not cut it in the Big 12. - -He very well might be a decent Coach, like I’ve read were probably not going to get much better chance for a Coach other then him or Leipold - -that’s who I want . I’m sure in time if it is Monken it will sink in and we go from thre.
I’m just ready to get this Coach hired and move on- - let’s get this done

Oh yeah there’s a 0% chance Monken would run flexbone triple option at KU. Rumor is he’s got his OC in the bag to bring along but it’s a bit flimsy right now. Looking more spread option.

Well again asking think I know your answer but checking to see if you had flipped. - -I still would prefer Leipold more, & beleive you said he was your # 1 choice - - has that changed ?
-
I dunno Farmer , but what you think ? -I just feel that whoever comes in really should give Jones a chance to remain on Staff. I just think the guy has THAT connection with these kids, pretty good recruiter , just think he is to important of a piece of the staff to lose. - -I guess the big thin is though would Jones even want to remain on this staff if he isn’t hired as the HC. - -he just seems to be able to relate to this group and remain leary of mass trnsfers if he isn’t some kind of piece in this program - -what you think Farmer ?
-
Leipold is still #1 on my board. I’m fully prepared for the very casual football fans to hate the hire because he has the charisma of a tomato our last Buffalo hire didn’t work out. I feel very strongly whoever gets the job will retain Jones.
-
Jay Norvell, who’s been mentioned a fair amount, is out. Declined to go through the process.

@AsadZ With ME KU football will not be worse than last year. And I work cheap by Big 12 standards.

Vernon said Kane impressed in his interview. Take that fwiw.
Still think it is either Monken or LL. Would be happy with either personally.

Seems like things are spinning again , sounds like Monken chances might have dropped some - -some say they would be surprised not to see him at Army this fall , seems like Leipold might be gaining steam again. Also read the Texas A & m cord name pop up - -Ecko? - -is that right?
-
Monken or Leipold. Kane is a really impressive guy though.
