He was such a terrible recruiter in comparison to Chev I'm not so sure it's clear cut.

Our 5-0 start probably didn't help us here.

So we hope.
For those of you who have an Athletic sub here's an article that makes you think twice about LM. I'll admit that I was on that train as well.

Was just reading the same post on my iPhone and had the same thought, maybe I was wrong to be so excited about LM coming to CU. I do trust RG until he proves otherwise and I suspect if he really wanted LM, he woudn`t be setting up in Lawrence.

Virtually no one thinks LM would have been the long term answer at CU. Nor will he be at KU. However, he would have been an immediate stabilizing force at CU. Something they desperately need right now.
Per this report, CU had interest in and some strong connections to LM. And yet, being “way down the road” WITH KU FOOTBALL was too much to change anyone’s mind. JFC.
Mandel makes a lot fo good points. He seems to ignore the fact that smash mouth football also wins. Harbaugh did turn around Stanford that way. My concern with Miles is that he might go away from what made him great because he thinks he needs to be something he's not.
Mandel is an idiot. Miles is a nuts and bolts coach that understands the game is won and lost at the line of scrimmage. If he can recruit beef to KU then KU will become a winner.
Nice hedge there.
That's a much more reasonable number than I thought Les would take. He must really have the itch.
That's it???
Holy crap he has a bad agent or did a friends and family discount deal.
Frosty is getting $5 million for 7 years
Les was worth at least $4 or $4.5
Cheap
Must be planning to spend big on Assistants
he probably just wants to coach
Very good points.

You’re joking right? He was awful. Hasn’t done anything at Oregon St other than a second half vs us. Chiv might not be the answer but Lindgren certainly isn’t. We forget that almost all the studs we have, Laviska, landman, etc are here bc Chev recruited them. He’s also done a good job coaching the WR’s

Or there wasn’t really that many teams in the market for him after all. Interesting.
He got passed over so many times, he had no juice to ask for more especially when he cleared the decks on his buyout. He’s more concerned with legacy than money. Plus, this salary should allow for a nice assistant pool.
KU will be in bowls if Les hires two kick-ass coordinators and stays out of the football operation.
We dodged a bullet here.

I think Kansas is a good fit for Les. He will recruit well and he is a solid coach. The CU job would have a lot more pressure than KU. KU will be happy with Bowl games. I think CU under RG wants conference championships.
I think maybe we dodged a bullet....
