Coaching Changes
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Has KU ever had to 'split' with a coach? Roy left on his own terms, Larry did, not sure about Ted Owens, Phog I'm sure wasn't fired.
-
"Gong Owens!" was a rallying cry that started in, I believe, 1978 (year I graduated). Only KU coach to be fired (1983).
-
I've heard through a connection in Chapel Hill that TJ Otzelberger is/was first on the list.
-
His buyout is much lower then Lloyd as well
-
Looks like if Self retires, Tommy Lloyd won't be an option because there's language in his contract that prevents him from leaving Arizona for another school within the conference.
At this point, if Self does decide to retire and KU does end up looking outside the KU family, Otz would be my pick. His buyout is only $4 million and it sounds like ISU is struggling a bit with NIL because they don't have the wealthy donors that can fund NIL like other schools can.

I talked to a lawyer friend of mine earlier. A court might not look at it very fondly because non-competes generally aren’t enforceable if there’s no geographic issue (Tucson to LFK is a long way) and there are no trade secrets really at stake.

Even if a judge rules on it, by the time that lawsuit would make its way through to a conclusion, that's a lot of extra money and time wasted if KU tried pursuing it.

Was he hired while still in the Pac12? That also might make the restriction more dubious as this is not the same conference as was intended when he signed.

Like most cases, it would give both parties a very strong incentive to settle. It’s in nobody’s interest to drag it out.

Will Wade back to LSU wow

Wait but I was told the players are the ones who lack loyalty?

@FarmerJayhawk everyone lacks loyalty right now, wild Wild West all around.
