WE'RE GETTING TWO HEAD COACHES!!11!1!!!

What happened to Harbaugh? I thought he had ties there?:)

I hope you are right about this. I'm tired of the bad hires.

We'll see...

Looks like it's Beaty. I'm fine with it. Great recruiting ties, and KU needs an infusion of good talent. When Beaty was here, we had a pretty solid stable of receivers.

OK. I laughed at the 400 lb bit. That's funny.

I'm actually surprised he'd take the job. On paper, at least.

I have no idea what system he's going to run or anything, but it's optomistic that they're focusing on recruiting. He has got to know what he's getting into.

Also nice to see they're not going after "names". Hopefully he has a reasonable salary and earns a big contact.

Beaty became recruiting coordinator in 2013...

They also moved to a different conference.

ATM has good facilities and a good football program. Kansas is Kansas. You guys assume the doormat role nicely.

You just worry about competing with Minnesota

I'm sorry, but no recruit north of 3 stars will want to go to KU unless this guy has a contingent of cheerleaders dishing out free blowjobs.

Sick burn!!!!!!

Seriously, this hire is ass. KU hired a WR coach/recruiting coordinator as their HC.

Then it should give you a few more years of doormat jokes.

Top 10 finishes last 13 years:

Kansas 1
Nubbers 0


13 years is a long time brah

I wanted Warriner but I'll support whomever they hire.

LMAO

Never mind the 13 years being completely arbitrary and extending it ONE more year squashes your dumb point.

That said, now I know how KU coaches rake in the three stars. "Hey, forget that we were 1-11 in 2012 and only slightly better since. As the recruiting/WR expert HC at KU, I'm inclined to tell you we've finished in the top 10 once in the last thirteen years."

I'd be mad too if I was Nebraska. KU just beat them in a HC hire.

Oh the times we live in...

sec VS B12

Seriously? Head coach trash talk?

You ****ing hired a coach that put up a ****ing worse record than the mother****er you just ****ing fired.

And you're coming in here with coach hiring trash talk?

ROFL

We have a shit program. We know it. At least we admit it.

"I'm inclined to tell you we haven't" - Mike Riley

I am so freaking glad you guys didn't get Warriner, he slid through the cracks again. I think he would have been a huge get for you guys.

Warinner is a good coach, but incredibly socially awkward. The kids around here for his first couple of stints thought he was a really weird/strange dude

I've said it before & I'll say it again.... I really want KU to have a solid FB program. I'm supportive of them & hope each hire turns it around. With that said, the state of the program has gotten me to a point where until it changes for the better, I'm just not going to be excited about anything.

Beaty is a beast in the DFW area. Not sure how he'll be as a head coach but worth a shot

What did they think of mangino?

This is an embarrassing hire from a PR standpoint. KU must have struck out not only on every Head Coach they were interested in, but every offensive and defensive coordinator as well. Beaty has been a wide receiver coach for the last NINE years. So, it's not like he's some amazing up and coming coaching talent. Maybe it'll work out, maybe he'll have that charisma to figure it out. But it doesn't sound too promising. Only good thing is the University will save a ton of money by giving him less than a milsky a year, and can cut ties with him virtually whenever they need to. I'm sure Radio and Fat Chuck have really strapped them for cash in the football department.

This guy didn't even have his own wikipedia page until today.

I don't like the hire because you hired him for recruiting. We hired Radio for recruiting. We hired Fat Chuck for recruiting. You aren't going to recruit if you are Kansas. Look at Synder, he doesn't even try to recruit, he knows he can't. K-State's recruiting classes barely even marginally better than KU's. You need a guy that has a gimmick, and can make 2 and 3 star guys shine, to get you to some wins. Get some momentum, a couple bowl appearances, then maybe we can talk about recruiting.

Just about any coach not named Tressel would have had a worse record than Bo. Only Saban won 9+ games the last 7 years. You guys should have gone for Bo.

The friends I had that played for him thought he was a dick, but in that football coach kind of way. They seemed to enjoy playing for him. And these guys played for him in the early years...prior to his successful bowl run.

In the later years, the team seemed fairly divided in how they felt. I don't think any of them loved him, but I don't think they hated him either.

Yeah, Warriner is super cut and dry, people either like him or they don't. He does not sugar coat things at all, if you are willing to do what he wants you will achieve things, but if you don't, he wont play you.

I know when he was at ND, he did not eat with the players or mingle with the players, he was all business all the time. It definitely hasn't hurt recruiting for us, because our last two classes have 10 very good O-Lineman in who say they love him. Also putting 3 lineman into the NFL as rookies this year and all of them starting doesn't hurt his reputation either.

Iowa State has two Four Star recievers and another guy who easily should have been. So why couldn't Kansas get them? I mean we have better facilities and a stadium and what not, but location is somewhat similar.

and you still suck ass.

Well they are a freshman and sophomore both starting their first year. The other was arguably our best player but got hurt for the year the first game. Could easily be in a bowl game now that they are healthy and experienced and the second year in Manginos offense.

Good Lord. LMAO

I've come to appreciate Rust's insanity. Our own fanbase could use a few hundred thousand dreamers - people who are so delusional that their loyalty compels them to pack the stands for bad teams. Our fans are definite wine & cheesers who won't support garbage, I'm one. I want to be more like Rusty.

I'll drink one for Rusty.

"Kansas Football 2015: New Head Coach, Same 2-10 record."

I mean, I really don't expect this guy to be able to prove anything next year. Unlike most people, I like being patient with a coach. Give him a chance to get his guys into the program. Not saying he is a great hire, but at this point, a shot in the dark doesn't hurt.

Lol guarantee we are back in a bowl game next year.

Next year is the year!

LMAO

"NEXT YEAR!!!!!"

Riley had a very limited ceiling at OSU for several reasons. In contrast, you just hired a POSITION COACH for your HC vacancy. He's spent most of his career at the high school level. With college teams, he's been a position coach save 2 seasons (one as co-OC). Not quite the 15 year HC history of our guy.

We have a great program with history, money, and facilities. We know it. We will never be in absolute shambles like your program. Hiring a guy to recruit and coach up your WR's won't help.

I'm starting to think it's a gimmick of his. It's just too convenient.

fyp

I'd have liked it, but someone said it best. Pelini's best option is to go back and be a DC in the SEC rather than get his ass beat here.

Yeah, we're ass. No worldbeater coach is going to come here in it's current state. We have to hope that we get a guy that becomes a world beater here.

You guys with all your high and mighty tradition, history, money, and facilities got a guy with a ****ing losing record.

LOL Bill Calahan disagrees with NU never being in shambles. I ****ing lived up there when he wrecked that ship. Yeah, it's probably not as bad as ours is now, but NU basketball was in shambles too. I wouldn't talk too much about using the term "never."

Beaty just said he's hitting the JUCO recruiting trail starting tomorrow.

Weis joke. Lol

Kansas didn't need them to win though

http://m.cjonline.com/sports/2014-12...ss-all-details

The more I read the more I like this hire. I think we may have hired this guy a few years sooner than most schools would have but I hope we found our guy for the long haul. I like his work ethic. He said he wouldn't sleep until we had something to be proud of in memorial stadium.

Can he stay awake for 3-5 years. That's how long its gonna take to turn this around.

I hope so. I like his work ethic and of he can keep up with recruiting I think he has a shot.

Let's hope. Really tired of being everyone's bitch.

We did beat Iowa State.

And Rusty said they're a couple lucky bounces away from a Bowl Game, so I think we're good. :D

Perspective. Thanks B.

After reading this post, I would be surprised if you left high school with a diploma.

You should put his picture in your avatar. That's worked out well for you.

Have you ever bet your career on a hire? Sheahon Zenger just did. I hope it works out.

I'm not sure who is more delusional - you or Bambi. JFC!

I've don't believe I have ever put a coach in my avatar, so not sure what that means.

You think? If this guy doesn't work out Zenger is done?

Good rebuttal. Keep talking trash on coaching hires when the mighty nubs hire a guy that just put up a losing record.

Huh? Buehler seems pretty smart to me. Ill disagree that Callahan wrecked NU, as they were really wrecked by Steve Pedersen the AD who fired Solich. And all he did was win 9 or 10 games a year. Like Callahan. Like Bo. Like Tom Osborn.

It's not hard to remember when NUBBZ wanted "Dr. Tom" fired when he couldn't bring home the title. And they did want him canned. Then he turned up the the cc's on the steroid syringes and looked away when the guns and assaults and rapes happened and lo and behold he won two titles and was voted into the office.

Nebraskans...Gene Havkman said it best in Unforgiven: "Hell, I even thought I was dead 'til I found out it was just that I was in Nebraska".

Old Man Snyder followed the identical blueprint and he got voted into the college hall of fame. What's the diff?

Professional Players-

Kansas: NFL (7) NBA (17)

Iowa State: NFL (5) NBA (0)

But you know... facilities!

It wouldn't surprise me. KU basketball has such a tradition that the AD is most irrelevant. But after shelling out big bucks to Weis, who failed, and hiring a relative unknown, I'd wager he's gone if he fails to get his team bowl eligible.

That said, it should be fairly easy to get them to at least 5 wins next season. Recruit the JUCO's hard, while signing three star recruits for the future. If he's even halfway competent on the field and recruiting trail, it should be a no-brainer.

My inner asshole comes out when I'm drunk. That wasn't a very nice post.

I didn't come here to talk smack but there's a big difference.

He was 13 games over at Oregon State and turned down Alabama, USC (twice), UCLA, and Wisconsin. To compare him to a 9 year WR coach is laughable.

Funny, that quote could seamlessly be replaced with kansas, given those states are very similar. And living in Omaha or Lincoln is much different than living in the smaller towns that have nothing going on.

Also, Riley didn't have this:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/IRn_L3Hwr1Y" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Be sure to note the 5 national titles at the end. Whether you want to admit it or not, we have tradition and history that KU, Mizzou, and KSU can't buy. That makes a huge difference in recruiting.

Also of note: KU's last conference championship was in 1968 LMAO. I did not know that until my buddy who went to KU told me that.

I don't remember the rapes?

CFHOF isn't the legislature?

Yes it could and yes they are. I've never failed to have fun in any the old Big 8 college towns I've been through. Although I've never been Ames.

Agreed. Except I have been to Ames, and that was my least favorite (sorry ISU fans). I won't go into detail. That was also 5ish years ago, so maybe it's better.

Big difference in the shit talking. And you're also not saying dumbshit things like "NU will NEVER be a wreck" or whatever he said.

NU got the better coach sure. But is he as much better of a coach than NU is of a program? I doubt it. Surely not enough that I'd come into a KU thread and talk shit about it.

Many corn-f'ers are depressed about the past decade or so and they're lashing out at everyone they can find. In 2000 it would be inconceivable they'd be bragging to Kansas fans about football but that's where we are at now

Nebraska hiring someone like Mike Riley shows just how far they've fallen.

Shoulda stuck with Bo.

You have no idea what you're talking about. An average coach can win 9 games at Nebraska just with our talent advantage alone. But when talent was matched, Bo shit the bed. Riley, on the other hand, was tasked with winning despite talent deficiencies at oregon state.

The simple mother****ers are looking at record to compare the two. You haven't shown you are any more than that.

Talent.

Yeah, you wouldn't know much about it. As of today, KU is 71st in recruiting, and has 1 former four star on their roster.

Look who Bo won games against. We had more talent than those teams. But when we played Wisconsin, Michigan State, etc. who recruits very similar classes (talent, bambi), we lost.

Finish in the top 10 like Kansas has in the past 10 years and then come and talk to me about talent.

Hopefully the short time will be enough for you to find some other obscure, arbitrary stat.

Thank you for coming to our thread and sharing your thoughts on Nubb football. Like any of us care that you suck
