Coach drama- UPDATED 12/8/9

First off, congrats to the hoops squad for putting it on UCLA.

At a later date we'll do a season recap for football, but we're looking at coaches now-

What do I want in a coach?
Someone that can recruit their balls off. I'm talking about bringing in playmakers on both sides of the ball.
One the biggest problems with the latest installment of KU football was that we couldn't turn teams over and we didn't have that guy on offense that when he got a crease you did, oh my god I might shit my pants dance, so we need that.

So being that Kansas is located directly in the middle of the world per google, we need to recruit locally and in Texass and Oklahoma, we should not for the most part be worried about coasts.

We need someone that is a little zany after the snore that Mangino was, yep we sawed all that wood and it got us at hope with our families during the holidays.

Here's a list of guys being tossed around and what I think of them- agree or disagree with me-

Charlie Strong has a presser to be the next coach at Louisville tomorrow, so he is officially out and Houston Nutt backed out today as well, so there goes 2 guys that would have me excited for the future of KU football, the rest are below.

Randy Edsall- HC Uconn- he got a guy killed at a campus party and he has a losing record in conference in the big east, which as a conference is the hoops equivalent to C-USA. Plus he's from UCONN where Lew was and its a pussy hire, tells the fans you aren't trying. Still no word on whether or not he has interviewed

Skip Holtz - HC East Carolina - was hired at UCONN by Lew, so again a pussy move. Plus he has no ties here locally so his recruiting would not be good unless he dire some amazing assistant hiring or retaining. Plus ECU hasn't really done anything that makes my pants snug and make me think he would have a shot to get us to the next level, so he's out too. Suposedly has or had an interview with LP.

Turner Gill- HC Buffalo- best thing he ever did was prove that in the land of corn the forward pass is a new thing by botching that 2 pt conversion. He's a bible beater and while that's all fine and dandy, that isn't going to fly in lawrence so he's out too. Has interviewed, has me worried sick that he will be the coach, like fetal position crying worried.

Jim Harbaugh - HC Standford - Yes please, no need to explain, whatever it takes to get the guy that's what you do. He'll get that Gridiron club built and he'll run the ball when we're up 3 on our rivals with a bowl birth at stake and less than 3 minutes remaining, but everyone one do that, right? Looking less likely to go to ND, which can only help KU. He won't want to show up Gerhart in his quest for the Heisman on Saturday so we probably won't here anything on him until next week, so a presser gets announced this week, that means it ain't JH.

Tommy Tubbervill and Phillip Fullmer are broadcasting right now, but both are available and both have good track records, however neither has local connections or Texas connections.
These guys might be a poor man's Harbaugh and an older version at that. The would bring stout D and a power running game, which might sound boring after the aerial attack of the last couple of years, but you know what's fun? WINNING and D and running the ball wins games, ask Herm Edwards, kidding.
Also these guys have the same agent as Houston Nutt, so the agent, Jimmy Sexton, might have been trying to make the KU job sexier for his other clients, whatever is clever.

Larry Fedora from So Miss- wants the job and has a lot of connections to Texas, so he might not be bad as a back up plan. He has not been contacted by KU, so that'll make it kind of hard.

I'm not including Kevin Sumlin from Houston on here because if he gets hired my brain will implode

There are others for sure, so let's see what happens.
