Very little football talent in-state.
:D Title: Re: LeSmiles Hired at Kansas Post by: ricky023 on November 18, 2018, 04:30:48 PM I bet Ol' Les will win more than anybody at Kansas. RTR!

Really setting the bar up there pretty high, huh Preacher? :lol:Title: Re: LeSmiles Hired at Kansas Post by: McBaman on November 18, 2018, 06:50:09 PM I bet Ol' Les will win more than anybody at Kansas. RTR! Really setting the bar up there pretty high, huh Preacher? :lol:Ha! KU football has been in such a mess that it won't take too much for Les to succeed. But I'll bet that he will bring in a better overall coaching staff than they've had in a long time. He'll bring in a strength & cond. guy who will work those guys like never before. He knows what FB players look like and will find a few. He won't win a NC but they will be better.

You forgot the statue they will have of him, too. :facepalm: Title: Re: LeSmiles Hired at Kansas Post by: bamaphil on November 18, 2018, 09:33:00 PM In Saban’s first year at Bama, and the year Les won an NC at LSU, Kansas went 12-1 with an Orange Bowl win. It will be hard for Miles to even reach that level of success, but not impossible.

:wall: Title: Re: LeSmiles Hired at Kansas Post by: pmull on November 19, 2018, 06:47:21 AM I think Les is a good coach but that is a difficult job. If he can get them to a bowl game that is a big improvement.

Title: Re: LeSmiles Hired at Kansas Post by: 2Stater on November 19, 2018, 07:14:35 AM They won't have enough room for Les to have a statue. It's all being taken up by the one of Mark Mangino.

Those teams are not built to stop the run like SEC schools, so theoretically he could have some success. But Les will have a hard time recruiting the same level of athletes he was able to mostly cherry pick in Louisiana.
