What about Les’s history makes you think he will struggle

We know you’d blow les but maybe you should go watch Kansas and see the talent they have before spouting off. And yes. This thread will be bumped by someone. Won’t be you though.

This. It's not because Les is a bad coach or a tough schedule. It's because KU has such a talent deficiency compared to other schools that expecting them to jump to bowl eligibility immediately is unreasonable. I hope I'm wrong and they surprise me this year, but I think it will take a few Les classes coming in to help make up the difference between KU and the rest of the Big XII.

Would the Iowa model work at Kansas? Just a bunch of well-coached, corn fed white boys. Aren't going to be exciting to watch and won't ever really be elite, but average 7/8 wins a year.

Indiana State - Win
Coastal Carolina - Win
@ Boston College - Win
West Virginia - Win
@ TCU - Win
Oklahoma - Loss
@ Texas - Loss
Texas Tech - Loss
Kansas State - Win
@ Oklahoma State - Loss
@ Iowa State - Loss
Baylor - Loss

Pooka will get lots of Heisman pub.

It probably would. If you look at K-State, that's how Bill Snyder grew their program. Brought in a bunch of Kansas farm kids, they worked hard for him for a few years, and by junior or senior year, they were starters. They're bowl eligible almost every year with a random overachieving year thrown in here or there.

People who think Kansas is going 6-6 this season really demonstrate their ignorance of the situation- perhaps college football in general.

Kansas isn't a normal bad football team. They're historically bad. They didn't win a road game for a decade. They lose to small conference teams. Badly.

This isn't a "grab a new coach" and we'll be competing next season deal. Kansas winning 3 games would be improvement. Four victories would be phenomenal. Stop the 6-6 shite.

they will go 2-0 and all jayhawk fans will be all over les' nuts. then........they will win only one more game and it'll be back to normal in Lawrence.

Everyone in Lawrence would be very happy with 3 wins this year.

quote:

---

They won 3 games last year. They also had another 3 losses which were 1 TD or less.

---

Yes, they won three games. Those three wins were against Central Michigan (1-11, win over Maine), Rutgers (1-11, win over Texas State), and TCU.

The three one TD games were a loss to Nicholls State in OT, Texas (10 points in the last four minutes of the game to make it a seven point game), and K-State.
