It's called an Internet message board. Welcome. And who has been the biggest Mr. Know It All concerning Kai Horton and Covid 19 on this board? Just saying your post rings of the kettle calling the frying pan black.

And oh by the way, you seem to be a know it all about Willie Fritz's plans as well. See the above (quoted) run-on sentence. I guess it's not hot air when YOU believe it's true.

The only public end to any of these coaching dramas is when the school in question announces their new coach.
Man people really love to quote “public end” . . . A “public end” to Kansas’ pursuit of willie fritz would also be an announcement from Fritz & Dannen they have agreed to a 1 /2 year extension on his contract. 👍🏼

Let’s face it, when the Greenies beat OU this year, Kansas will appear with an ATM link to Fort Knox.

He got an extension less than 1 year ago. He hasn’t earned another one

Some things are never said, but Willie has a lifetime contract as long as he wants to coach the Wave, the big money people that pull the strings won't let him go. Where do you think the 1.6+ million came from not just the University. Benson, Glazer, Hertz and others. Do you think that would come out to be abused by this board and others, lol

Believe what you want why do you think Willie won't comment on any coaching offer, because he knows buzzards come out attacking, lol. fans can be a asset for a University or its own worst enemy. Silence keeps the Peace!!!

There is nothing unique about Willie or Tulane being silent on potential coaching jobs--it is the norm almost everywhere. Coaches deny or refrain from comments, schools deny or refrain from disclosing any info about their search--it's always silence by all. There is nothing with Willie or Tulane that is unusual on any of these coaching flirtations.

And quite normal for a program's fans to comment on them on an internet bulletin board like this one. We're actually tame compared to other boards.

Absolutely. If we didn't kibitz about something as significant as a potential coaching change, nobody would participate on these boards.

I guess Travis figures their 2021 season is in the crapper anyway. But it seems that given the calendar, how many coaches are going to seriously consider jumping into the KU football black hole at this time, unless they are already unemployed-- at least unemployed as a coach. I have to believe that the Fritz, Monken, Leipold trio slides down, if not off, of their list.

To me, the safe play would be to name the interim coach the interim coach for 2021. If they win a few games he can take the interim out of his title. If they stink, that's expected. It buys him at worst until December, possibly a few years.

Let the fun begin. It’s a death trap suicide rap...

KU has lost 115 of its last 136 games in a stretch that dates back to the 2009 campaign. The Jayhawks have had five full-time head coaches across that period.

Those thought to be leading contenders include Army head coach Jeff Monken, Buffalo head coach Lance Leipold and Tulane head coach Willie Fritz.

I bet KU interim head coach Emmett Jones gets the job, an attractive, qualified minority candidate; and, Jones is a good recruiter plus the players seem to love this guy. 8-)

I agree. At least a trial run for one year. If a safe play out the gate for Goff.

KU has been an absolute job killer for anyone willing to work there. Hopefully this search is over soon so the speculation of WF leaving can be put to a rest.

Hiring a coach who has never had gameday playcalling duties i think is a bridge too far for Goff. Latest on their job search is they will have someone announced by Next Thursday the 29th. Supposedly Fritz still in the mix but Leopold and Monken are the two leaders, with Crieghton from EMU also being Considered.

Fansided article says WF has been “invited” to interview. We should know where KU is going and whether WF has any real interest in this job by about this time next week.
