This could imply that Jones does not have enough confidence in current QBs on the roster.

@nuleafjhawk said in 4 potential KU football coaching candidates who are established Group of 5 winners: We’d make Candle into a candle in the wind. We’d make Monken into a monkey (for the love of God no one make that a racist remark - it’s a damn zoo animal) We’d make Fritz go on the fritz. We’d make Leipold not so bold. Plus - Buffalo? Been there - done that. Would love to get Leipold - - -seems to be a pretty popular choice

@FarmerJayhawk said in Spring Football: @Texas-Hawk-10 I’m assuming a new coach would see that and want to keep Jones. Buffalo could easily promote Ianello and leave Jones as an AHC/WR at KU. Frankly I think (presumably) Goff would ask about Jones and if the new guy was smart he’d try really hard to keep him. Similar how Les kept Hull. And if you do the search in November Jones probably leaves anyway and may take some players with him. So if it’s going to happen regardless I think you hire your man now if it’s the same guy you’d hire in 8 months. But there’s definitely a good case for riding it out with Jones. Best case he’s our Dabo, worst case he’s clearly in over his head and we agree to move on. Personally & I know happens a lot. - -New Coach he wants to bring in his guys/new staff , I am hoping kind of like you mentioned that Leipold would at least interview Jones. The one BIG thing to retain jones on top of obviously others is his connection it seems with the players - -that showed when they was looking to name an interim - -had A LOT of current players say how much they waned Jones as the interim. - -Has to be worth something. I know you can’t have dictate who Coach’s are - yet you want that connection Coach’s/players - plus his recruiting ability. The man can recruit no doubt about that - -wish it was a little different scenario where we could just have named Jones as the HC. - -just not quite ready for that position yet . - -I like Jones for sure – & I’m pretty stoked on Leipold , with keeping Jones on your staff I think less chance of transfers out/players leaving. I just feel pretty vitual we keep as much as possible to keep this roster in tact , and retaining Emmit on the Coaching Staff I would think would be a huge step to make that happen

@kubuckets Aren’t a long way off from what? Disbanding? I’ve had enough KU football kool-aid.
