I’m confident they will also.

I dont think how Durkin coaches is much different than anyone else - but it would be a PR nightmare. You just can't do it.

AD LOng was hired to make a splash AND to fix this program. Hiring anyone other than a home run hire will equal in backlash and Bad PR.

Don’t jerk is around Long.

Who is the last splash that worked out?

Probably Urban Meyer.

After that?
Has Harbaugh lives up to expectations?
Chip Kelly?
Squirmin Herman Motherfucking Sack of Cunt Edwards?
Lane Kiffin? At any of the stops he made?

Fuck making a splash for the sake of making a splash. Get some one who can recruit and coach.

All of those have worked out pretty well actually

That would be remarkably retarded.

This rumor was so false that Long himself took to Twitter to discredit it.

Guys are 'splash' hires precisely because they can recruit.

The underappreciated position coach will take years to develop recruiting cache and that just won't work at KU. They need to challenge a 5-6 win season in the first couple of years to give themselves a foundation to build on.

It's gonna be a lot easier to do that with a Miles sort who has relationships with key coaches that can jump-start that process.

That's what he just wants you to think! Not surprising. I don't think he'll ever get another NCAA job again (at least he never ever should).

MUH HARBAH THO

Agreed. The worst part was that Maryland administration initially voted to re-instate him... and only fired him because players literally walked out on him.
Long would be answering to Chancellor Girod and a bunch of very angry donors if he made a hire that stupid.
