Probably never, but that would probably involve 10 wins which would be like a 7 game improvement.

Kansas is a shot show.

6-42 2-34 in conference

7-6 would be a step up.

Kansas has 1 Coach over .500 since WWII and only 4 since WWI

I don't know about top 15 but I'd bet they're top 25 at some point by 2021. Les will probably not make them a title contender, but he'll make them a respectable and relevant team again.

as much as i like les miles, i highly doubt this. i believe he will improve that team but he really has a rough row to hoe.

When have they ever been respectable or relevant?

Never. He may get them to their 1st bowl game since 2008 if he stays for 2 or 3 years though.

What is the point of this thread?

We all know it’s almost impossible for Kansas to be a top 15 type of offensive team. It probably wouldn’t matter if they had Lincoln Riley.

So I just don’t get the reasoning of this thread. Are you making fun of Miles? I admire he took that job because he wants to coach. He didnt have to take that job.

They went 12-1 in that crazy ‘07 season. Won the Orange Bowl, I think. That season was clearly an anomaly for them, though.

Terrible roster structure right now. They're looking at losing over 30 seniors next year, so they will be playing catch up on roster size the next few years.

KU should be able to get better talent over the next few years, but it's still a tough position to start in. If he has them in a bowl game in 2020/2021, most KU fans will be satisfied. I think 2022/2023 they'll be looking for that next step.

agreed, i think he gets them up to regular bowl eligible and possibly a steady 20-25 ranking at best

Miles is 65. He will be there long enough to get a decent foundation laid, and may even make a bowl or two. It will be the following hire that has to take Kansas over the hump though.

I don’t think anybody saying 2021 realizes how bad Kansas is. This is possibly the toughest power 5 job there is. You could say Kansas state but they are in much better shape than Kansas as of right now
