Anyone concerned about losing Leipold to Nebraska?
-
@AsadZ I’m dead serious when I say that if I were the AD I’d make him the highest paid coach in America. I’d bet my job on him at this point. I’d be BEGGING donors for the money. I’d be going to Adidas and seeing what they would do for us considering the National TV exposure LL has gotten Adidas the past 5 weeks. Literally anything that could be done to make the KU offer work I’d be doing.
He’s clearly not a fluke. He won at WW. He turned Buffalo into a top 25 team out of the freaking MAC. He has a team that won 0 games 2 years ago into the top 25.
He’s worth literally every penny.
-
@AsadZ -Two well three things. Number one has been brought out got to consider Coach’s age at this stage of his Career , he is 58 yrs old, # 2. -He has stated multiple , multiple times and I know it’s a cliche quote you often hear , yet he saying He & his wife are really happy here and aren’t going anywhere & I actually believe the guy. Like has been brought up several conversations just strikes me as a guy that just might wanna stick around and finish what he has started.
Last our KU AD has already said steps will be taken to keep Coach, you can take it to the bank Donors are being hit up , Coach in the end you can bet anything will be offered a substantial raise here AND extension I for one just think he stays.
-
Man I’ve said this before & I’ll say it again , I just listened to another interview with Coach , and every time I hear him I’m just so impressed the guy just ooozes Class all over the place for you guys who wanna listen it was on the phog he was on the show Patrick Netherton - -great interview class period. - -Again saying how happy he was here.
Mentioned how our team was the youngest P-5 program in the Nation last year & 3rd yongest overall. That’s something we have to think about - - most these guys on this squad will all be back again next yr - -I like that- - check it out if you wanna hear his interview. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@AsadZ he said on one interview today, they weren’t interested in WI.

I hope he didn’t say anything like: “I could give a shit about [Wisconsin] right now.”
-
@Crimsonorblue22 But he’d be crazy to say I’m interested in Wisconsin right now, wouldn’t he? Even if he is, you don’t let on in the midst of a historic season in Lawrence that you might leave.
-
He’s 58
-
I’m not interested in winning the lottery. Unless I do.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 How’d you know my age?
-
@wissox How"d she know my net worth?
-
@mayjay IDK but tell me what it is and I’ll decide whether I should treat you really nice or just plain nice.
-
@wissox My wife thinks I’m worth all the treasures of all the stars in all the galaxies, but she still won’t consider me for a loan.
-
Aaaaand Matt Rhule is now going to be in the Nebraska sweepstakes. Fired by the Panthers today. Very much a Chip Kelly situation where a P5 college program will want him.
I’m serious when I say that he probably moves to the front of the line for the Nebraska job.
-
Can rule out Wiscy https://twitter.com/journalsentinel/status/1594176884748730368?s=46&t=1e8f7HNYv3QTpkcPaKL2hw

Too bad if Lance leaves. He seems to be a good coach. I would hold no ill will towards the man, KU football is about a failed abortion of an abomination. It’s just too bad we have to put up with such a horrid program or get dumped from a power five conference.
-
@dylans Don’t think he’s going to. leave. He has the foundation built, and the team has been competitive with the exception of yesterday. Another good recruiting year will make them even more competitive.
-
If I were LL, I would have an extra incentive to stay–to prove yesterday, not the first 5 games, was a fluke.
-
Not concerned about Nebraska. - -Everything I’ve been reading from Nebraska boards is he isn’t even in the picture anymore - - saying how 4 potentials have moved to the lead and he is not one of them. - Read Matt ruhle - -Gary Patterson – can’t remember the other two right now but Lance isn’t one of them. - -Even heard that Joesph is still might be the Coach.
I think Lance is staying put, wants to finish what he started. - - Might take some mor money & extension but KU better get on that like NOW. What he has done with this program n one year is incredible , we have progressed so much. SURE we have landed on tough times NOW. - -Yet who here before the Season started would of ever predicted we would win SIX games this year and be bowl eligible - - - Sure in the hell not me, and if most of you say ya I expected us to win SIX- -then I call bull shit.–you say that and then you would believe I’'m gonna be the Pope tomorrow too. - We have won SIX GAMES and now some forget just how bad - - -I mean REALLY BAD this program was and now think we should of won 8-9 games THIS YEAR. - -this is a process it is going to take more then one year to turn this around. - -We sure in the hell didn’t get this bad in one year, were not going toget that much better in a year.
Lance is getting the pieces in place , the recruits - -the talent level is improving, he will continue to use the portal , and we are STILL one of the youngest programs in D-1. - -He is who we need and I think he stays
-
Mama bear has spoken. Lance will be back

Exactly - - Mama likes it here I think so does Papa
-
He’s got something to prove. It may take a few years, because he has to have the talent and that requires transformational change in recruiting. But once he gets a pipeline going, I don’t think he’ll leave until he takes a team to the CFP (which may include more than 4 teams by the time we get there, but still, that’s a goal).
-
Also, KUAD is really, really pushing NIL to keep Lance. We can compete with Nubs on salary, assistant pool, and those things. We’re behind on fan support and especially NIL. Get out to Mass Strategies or OpenDorse and support our guys if you can, and tell your KU friends to do likewise. It’s even more important than the stadium.
-
There’s getting to be some smoke around Nebraska and Klieman, however.
-
Going off the Nebraska boards I’m seein every ones name BUT LANCE L. - -seen one thread where they said they already have the next Coach-- got the handshake done deal - -but the posters couldn’t say who it was.
I know Lance said two things ONE he wanted reno of the Stadium - --TWO he wanted better NIL for the players. - -Ku better not let this guy get away
-
Well now just MIGHT be a little reason for some concern. - -Flight tracker shows a Honda Twin Jet leaving Lincoln today at 2:42 and then Landing at Lawrence at 3:14 p.pm - this might not such a good sign. - - HOLD ON TO YOUR BUTTS BOYS
-
@jayballer67 Well, if they don’t care enough to send a REAL airplane…

Don’t think it matters to them as long as it gets to Lawrence and they talk to Lance. - -I had been hearing Matt Ruhle was leading almost done - -now not sure
-
I’m like 95% sure it won’t be Leipold. Hearing a lot about Bronco Mendenhall, which wouldn’t be flashy but he can really coach.

Hawks just extended Lance and gave him a raise let’s go!
-
Lance told Nebraska no per Swain lolololololol
-
I read that BShark. - -according to Pete Thamel , Tweeted out - -Sources : -Kansas and Coach Leipold have agreed to terms on new Contract. - - Extension through 2029 structurred to keep Leipold at KU for the long term. – This would be Awesome. - -Farmer is this solid? - how much can we take Thamels word for ? - -hoping it’s solid , feeling better for sure
-
Well looks like it’s solid. - -ESPN has the story , & just came across local WIBW here in Topeka that Lance and KU had come to agreement - -Yes is a awesome day in Lawrence and KU fans alike. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer67 Thamel is a respected national reporter that works for ESPN fwiw
-
@jayballer67 Intel had been leaning that way for a few days. Glad it’s all true!

you and me both guy - -glad to put that to rest and our players can count on continuity - -glad to have Coach L as our Coach- -nothing but class.
Mama says LANCE - - NOPE we stayin put LOL

Seeing Matt Rhule to Nebraska swirling around today.

Ya , I’ve been hearing that for some time off their boards - looks like could happen
-
@rockchalkjayhawk They wouldn’t have to worry about losing their new coach to the NFL if that’s the hire.
-
Matt Rhule has officially been named the next head coach at Nebraska.
-
I think Matt Rhule is a home run hire for the Shuckers. He’s going to have the Texas connections to recruit Texas. Plus, this isn’t his first rodeo rebuilding teams. He rebuilt Temple and Baylor very quick.
-
Wrap up the regular season tonight. - - Hoping to be competitive. Afraid Vaughn runs wils , Howard picks our secondary apart been pretty shaky all year, I thinks that’s where we need the most help , the defensive side of the ball
I think a lot of how this game goes is on how KU approachs it. - -Do we play Jalen take the chance on he re-injuring and then not be available for the Bowl game ? Do we play Bean and sit Jalen ? – OR do we sit both Jalen & Jason - -play our freshman Vasko , give he gain experience & stil not lose his red shirt and save BOTH Jalen & Jason for the bowl? Hoping for the best. Play competitive - -play hard – look forward

A KU win A) ends the 13 year streak,
knocks KSU out of the B12 title game, and C) IT’S KSU, GO BEAT THEM!!! Beating KSU doesn’t happen with Vasko or Bean starting at QB.

Nobody is 100% in game 12 of a season. Unless the bowl game ends up being against Missouri, I don’t really care about winning or losing that game as much as I care about beating KSU. Getting the extra practices from being in a bowl game are far more important than the outcome of that bowl game right now for KU.
-
Guessing 42-24 KSU. We just don’t have the horses to go 60 minutes with them…. Yet.
-
@FarmerJayhawk ugh, I’m praying for a Christmas miracle!
-
This game is a win-win for us. Win, and we crush Silo Tech to the bone - lose, and we crush Texas’ pipe dream of making the conference championship game. What’s the downside here?

Probably more like 52-14 - -Vaughn gonna run wild - -Howard go bat doo - pick our secondary apart
-
We want to get a good bowl game and I don’t want
from ksu people! Our boys deserve it! Great for recruiting! We are due!
