@Kcmatt7 I don’t disagree with that assessment and don’t believe he should be fired after this season even if we have won our last game of the season. I predicted 2 wins and still feel pretty good about that. But we may steal another one at some point. The points you make are why we will never be taken seriously in CFB. I don’t have stats on every coach in the country but I’d bet a high amount of money a coach in his 6th year at a power 4 school isn’t returning for a 7th if he hasn’t made the post season for 3 straight seasons. Look at Aranda at Baylor, people have been screaming for his job for the last 3 seasons and he has won a conference championship in 2021 and made bowls 2 of the last 4 years. Before Briles and RG3 their program mirrored ours on most levels. At this point in time it’s a hard sell that KU football will be any better the day LL leaves to the day he showed up.

Well at the very least LL is the reason for the major facilities improvements. He definitely made an impact.

I'm usually the Negative Nellie here so I'm not sure what to think. The game I watched had Marshall throwing for 330+ yards and we were about 3 or 4 stupid penalties and a couple of boneheaded play calls from beating one of the best teams in the country on their home turf.

If I’m being a 100% honest this team is more competitive than I thought they would be. That’s what makes the bone headed penalties and give aways more frustrating. Saturday is a big day for Lance. Find away to win this one and everyone suddenly will get a lot of patience back. Lose and the seat starts to get warm. I don’t think he gets fired but there will plenty on that wagon.

I don’t think athletics has the money to replace him and hire someone and find the NIL budget to become competitive.

Good or bad I think we have LL for a bit.

Wow. Should have 14 more. Such a Jayhawk football loss

If there is one bright spot out of this Marshall may be figuring out the speed of the game. If the offense can get clicking we may win another game or two.

Wow, our defense is still uh, porous.

I thought the D looked better so far this year, but man this was not the showing I was expecting

Just glad they’re putting up a fight

I could get behind the feeling that Melvin does not raise our ceiling, but to say he lowers it is categorically false. Many many great teams, including some that have won national championships, have started guards who are not good 3-pt shooters.

He is inefficient on offense as a whole. I could live with the 3pt shooting, it’s the 4/17 games with 12 missed floaters.

IMO he has to take a major step forward in shot selection (or shot making).

They need a big man more than a PG if you have to choose.

If they find a way to get both bending whatever rules, than Melvin starts and plays a ton and it is what it is. Lowers our ceiling imo, but he would be the heart of the team.

I still think Rosario starts over Kinney. But minutes will definitely have to be earned either way

Went to the game. Wasn’t expecting a win.

But LL should not finish the season unless something major changes next couple of weeks.

I appreciate what he did but he isn’t a P5 coach. Playcalling was a mess. Decision making was even worse.

Disappointed but not mad.

McComb 13/13 3TDs 234 yards against Holy Cross.

Only KU would have both QBs get hurt in one play

Been burned on the blitz about every time tonight

That ball is out.

Mizzou got a guy at QB… hat to say that

Shockingly entertaining game for there to be no scores coming from the offense yet 1.5 quarters in

I’d say Isaiah get one more drive then you have to pull him those 5 yards just cost us 3 points

I think you gotta just let him get all the reps this year. Let him learn, if he’s going to be the QB for two more years after this

Based on what do you think he is a multiple year P4 quarterback? Yes, work through some mistakes, but he has to show something??? Thus far, Simmons
looks a lot better and he's just 19...

You haven’t seen enough to write him off. So I think you have to assume he’s the future and you let him get experience in the big moments until proven otherwise. Not like Ballard has proven anything either.

We’re so lucky Mizzou is doing just as stupid if stuff

I was criticizing the decision to punt but that uhhh well that was a great punt.
