Andy Kotelnicki
-
Does he have any ties to Penn St ? - Old friends, former associates , Relatives ?
-
@jayballer67 nope, just wants the best path to a P5 HC job. If he kills it at Penn State he’ll be at the top of everyone’s list in a year.

Wished I had an argument to this , but I don’t. & it sure doesn’t look good, from TOS they had a thread/link of from the Penn St 247 boards . most the responses there sounded like from their fans it was pretty much a done deal. Someone even mentioned a possible press conference, I didn’t see that anywhere and someone said there hadn’t been one or anything, just a matter of time I’m afraid.
Do you think Farmer this will impact the decisions of our 24 recruits , or influence the decisions of some of our current offensive players ? -only asking cause just wonder how much of a % in the decision for our offensive recruits goes into who the OC is and the relationship they might have built during their recruitment process. - Man I hope it doesn’t make major changes. - -These guys have to learn a whole new offensive scheme.
This might sound really out there but if Andy does leave would it be possible that a current member of the Staff could take the spot and be able to keep the same Scheme ? - just wondering , know that’s must sound nuts but. - - ROCK CHALK
-
How happy is Bieniemy with his current job??
-
@jayballer67 the 24 recruits are solid
-
@nuleafjhawk no thanks on that one
-
The rumor of Franklin flying in to Lawrence has been deemed false. Confirmed PSU plane in Kansas was the volleyball team.
-
@kjayhawks he did meet with Andy in Lawrence. It was a plane that doesn’t appear on tracking sites (like KU’s jet)
-
@kjayhawks really? The Chief’s offense seemed a lot saltier under him than Nagy
-
@nuleafjhawk receivers catching the ball is a lot of that, he ain’t doing anything in Washington. He’ll have to prove himself away from Mahomes and Reid before I consider him anything other than below average.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Well your in town not me but several KU Twitter are claim it’s a hoax but who knows forsure beside the parties involved.
-
@kjayhawks Bieniemy was coaching them to catch the ball
-
@kjayhawks it’s unfortunately 100% true Franklin met with Andy this week in Lawrence
-
@kjayhawks It has been reported by both Swain from the KU 247 site and the guy that writes for the Penn St site that he was in town and did meet with AK. We will know one way or another tomorrow I bet.
-
If Coach K takes the job , maybe we can lure the Oregon OC here, heard some rumor he might be available/looking
-
Hate to lose AK! If so, what does LL have in his pocket? He had to know this could be coming.
-
I’d watch for this fine fellow if there’s an opening, and more importantly if his health allows https://theathletic.com/5078535/2023/11/22/kansas-football-matt-lubick-leukemia/
-
@FarmerJayhawk - Wow! Very impressive on many levels!
-
I’m available if the price is right. Just so you know, I’ve never lost a game from my couch.

I’ve never lost any game on a field, so move over potato!
-
@mayjay lol. I’ve never been on the field either.
-
Hearing this could happen on Friday if it does happen… What are the odds that it does happen?

From what I’ve seen looks like it’s almost a done deal.-- Now, I’ve read where might have been a verbal handshake --FWIW- -gonna be a really big loss if he goes just hope it doesn’t effect our recruiting and or we can get a really good OC to take his place.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich I can’t put a number on it but was told last night “uphill climb” to keep him
-
@nuleafjhawk That could be our tiebreaker. I coached softball but we lost. If you never lost in sb, you get the job.
-
Is it money or opportunity he seeks? Might be able to match the cash, but if he wants something else that’s just too bad.
-
@mayjay I played football and basketball in high school. I sucked. I’ve always loved sports though. I also coached my son’s little league baseball team and my daughter’s softball team for 9 years.
Because I’m bored, I’ll tell you a stupid softball story. One year the softball team was doing very well. About 3/4 through the season we were undefeated. The girls weren’t great athletes, but they were smart and they listened.
We had a tournament in Hays, Ks one weekend. We were very blue collar. Our uniforms were T-shirts and shorts. We arrived at the field in a caravan of 12-15 cars. Something like that. We were just throwing the ball around, waiting for the other team to show up.
When they did arrive, the game was over before it started. This team of Olympic athletes rolled up in a Greyhound bus, team logo painted on the sides. They’re all wearing pinstriped uniforms, each carrying monogrammed duffle bags.
I could see the fear/awe in our girl’s eyes. I called them together and gave them the David and Goliath speech. It worked well.
We lost 62-3. In 3 innings.
-
@nuleafjhawk I lost 62-23 in an intramural game in a law school league. I am 6’ and was the center (vertical = @ 4"). The other team’s front line had a 6’7" former TE from the UMich fb team as their center and two guys 6’4", and their guards were both 6’2".
I held onto the big guy’s wrist one time as he jumped for a tip-in, and he took me higher than I jumped the whole game. He came down, laughed, gave me a low-5, and said “Good try!”
We had zero points or rebounds from our erstwhile center…
-
@mayjay Lol - good stuff.
-
My comment isn’t necessarily about Coach Andy, but maybe. After seeing Jason’s nearly perfect performance against Cincy, I’m really pissed our coaches didn’t start him against KState. Unless available means he can’t play, why the hell didn’t our best QB play in the game that means the most to KU fans in Kansas? Ballard played his best, but he’s nowhere near the QB who was declared available before the game. For me, the KState game was the most important game on the schedule. Maybe Coach Lance doesn’t understand how much a W against KState means to us. Even if we win the bowl game, I’ll still remember the W that KU should have gotten against KState.

Remember the Texas game and how bad Bean played in that game because he didn’t get practice reps. If Bean didn’t get many practice reps during KSU week, then he likely wouldn’t have played well in that game.
-
Available != healthy. A wounded Bean with basically no reps was a bad idea
-
Does anyone know whom we might replace Kotelnicki with if he does go to Penn St?
-
I wish the Chiefs were having this discussion instead of KU.
-
Have the bridges between us and Brent Dearmon been irreparably burned?
-
@Jhawk69 it would be a little ironic if the guy that found JD came back to coach him his last year.
That being said, Jesus himself has a better chance of coordinating KU’s offense next year than Dearmon
-
Yep, it’s done.
-
Also some chatter Borland may hang up the headset

Borland not as big a loss as K -dammit though , I know you told me 24 class was god , but still worried if K & Borland both gone that could cause issues
-

Leipold did promote Jordan Peterson to co-defensive coordinator so I’m guessing Borland won’t be back next season either.

Wouldn’t surprise me. He’s had some health stuff this year too. TBD
-
This is the penalty for success folks. I hope they try to keep him for sure. One argument is the Penn State has gone thru an offensive coordinator every 2 years on average since Franklin has been in town, most of which were fired.

So I wonder how Peterson stacks up ? – - -Has he been with Coach L for some time ?
-
@jayballer67 Peterson was a holdover from Les’s staff. He’s gotten G5 DC offers in the last year and rumor was A&M made some overtures since he’s an alum.

So you think if he were offered here he would stick & would he be a quality DC ?
-
@jayballer67 oh yeah he’s solid. Absolute monster recruiter too

Well that really sounds good then < hope we can retain him then offer him the Dc and keep continuity
-
Bummer. I’m hoping we can hold on to our other coaches and especially LL.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich we good

I feel somewhat encouraged by Zebrowski and Peterson having just received promotions.
