Massachusetts high school football coach fired after some let's say non-standard terminology found in his playbook:

quote:

Robert Trestan, the director of the Anti-Defamation League’s New England region, said the players had used “Auschwitz,” “rabbi” and “dreidel” as audibles — or last-minute play calls — during a game on March 12 against Plymouth North High School.

Yeah, there are also about 120 other schools in the same boat who don’t have the same level of year in year our success we have had the last 20 years. It’s cool that my team can be good and (similarly to Florida) have the ability to get into the playoffs yearly if they take care of business.

I mean he left but I think it was a deal where he knew he was on the chopping block. His last season he was with us just had some wild and inexplicable collapses on defense that came down to poor coaching and this was after a season where one stop on 3rd down and we would have beaten Alabama. Fans were out for blood, boosters were out for blood, and the AD was willing to cut bait. So he left and we hired Pruitt and improved by every metric.

Honestly the best reason why he'd say yes is he loves to hide the program from anyone that wants to see it, no one cares about Kansas football, so it would be very easy to fly under the radar doing nothing for fans or the media.

I'd say Rich Rod but I think his star has faded too much and he's still too toxic from Arizona for that narrative to work.

And he's busy in Monroe I guess.

if you take godfrey's view of it (and why wouldn't we), it's also a 6 year project. you're gonna come out the other end smelling like a rose but building something and getting your rear end kicked for 5 years is a long, long time to suck

it's pretty much a young man's job unless you find your david cutcliffe just kicking around somewhere (and cutcliffe was still only 54 when he took the duke job) and most young coaches would rather bet on themselves and waiting for a good g5 opportunity than on ku i think

I don't pay enough attention to them to know the details but I'm pretty sure they're not good at the least.

They still had a track around the field just a few years ago I remember, at least that's now gone. Jeff Long was trying to get more renovations going a couple of years ago, but he was Jeff Long and nothing came of it. Couldn't really find much in two seconds of looking but hey, this is something I didn't realize about their stadium:

they're p5 so they'll always have more money, but it is a capital b Basketball capital s School even moreso than places like kentucky or duke; the real problem is that the fan interest is almost zero and they were hovering around 40 scholarships a couple years ago (which is abysmal for a g5 much less a p5 team)

It's sort of like Wake Forest, with the grassy end zone scheme and small stands. As far as budget, I have no idea. I'm thinking the boosters send their money to the basketball program.

Looking around, and these are from vastly different sources so they're not 1:1 on methodology, but:

Kansas is 56th out of 65 P5 schools in football revenue, at $38 million:

https://247sports.com/LongFormArtic...08/#145373708_1

An AP story had them at 65th (of all schools, not just P5), and stated that by % they spend less on football than any other P5 school.

https://www.syracuse.com/orangefootball/2017/08/which_schools_spend_the_most_on_college_football_where_does_syracuse_rank.html



I don't know of a way to quantify facilities, and apparently nobody has tried; there's tons of "best 20 facilities in college football", but they're essentially factoid based with anecdotes of poo poo like Clemson's slide or LSU's new locker rooms. There's poo poo like "every stadium in NCAA football ranked", but that's just pure opinionizing.

well some of this is that I'm pretty sure they're spending the most on basketball or are right behind Kentucky

It's almost definitely the worst P5 job and there are several G5 jobs I'd rather have but the gap between it and basically every job in, say, the MAC is still pretty massive.

The thing with Kansas is that it's not unreasonable that you could get that program into a bowl game by 2024 because the gap between Oklahoma and everyone else is pretty steep and there's no other consistent contender. Iowa St is not gonna be this good for long, Mike Gundy is gonna wear out his welcome at OkieSt sometime, Gary Patterson looks to be cooked at TCU, Texas will never get their poo poo together, WVU is improving but we don't know their ceiling, etc.

Schedule three bad MAC teams and go 4-5 in conference, go bowling. That doesn't seem that tough!

I wanna say what they need is the football Bruce Pearl -- an elite coach forcibly knocked down a peg without becoming entirely canceled -- but Auburn basketball at least had access to money and proximity to recruits whereas Kansas does not have those and also successful football coaches do not become disgraced without also being canceled to the extent of unemployability.
