We will feel this on the recruiting side.. Not sure how good of an actual coach he was

Well he’ll probably bottom feed at a better salary, and I’m betting Les Miles will turn that program around. Chevis was on Miles’ national championship team at LSU and also was a graduate assistant on his staff there so this move makes total sense.

He will fail there like every other coach has. Coaching (in many cases ) is like real estate, location location location.

Do we repeat the experiment and go young for recruiting purposes and maybe sacrifice some coaching.. Do we do the same if Curtis is gone

Now we really keep an eye on Hanna and Murray and see what they do

Yeah, I remember when that failed program throttled us 62-10 (and it wasn’t that close), after we had nearly upset Clemson the week before. National champ Miles will never win there, even after KU dumps $300M+ into their football facilities. That bottom-feeding, B12 program perpetually sucks.

Even if you throw the 10 best coaches at the conference, isn’t it logical that 50% will be successful and 50% won’t be successful?
Bottom dwellers should know their rightful position and be satisfied to remain there.

Bottom dwellers should know their rightful position and be satisfied to remain there. Remarkable amount of wisdom there...especially where parity in coaching isn't going to happen anyway. And if it did, the bottom dwellers would have huge disadvantage in all the other areas required to be winners.
Such top coaches go where everything else is there for them to win. Rarely would a true top coach ever take the job at the bottom dwellers except perhaps as young coaches on the way up, usually making an overnight stop in a hell hole for coaches, like Bloomington maybe? But maybe even then they go to a lower conference and win big there on their way up the ladder, or far more likely go to a power as an assistant.
What bottom dwellers need is not just talent coaching, they didn't get to the bottom by accident.

Kansas has had some success in the past 20 years, including making it to the Big 12 Championship game. They have been terrible for at least 5 years now, but it is possible to have some success there.

Sure, but hard to imagine them overcoming the odds and challenging UT or even OU, OSU. Not the oil and cattle money, maybe, and football tradition which creates alumni expectations. But they have better odds than IU of becoming respectable in FB along with BB tradition. |

I’m not thinking championships there but more like 7-5, 8-4 type seasons. At Kansas that’s turning it around.

Agree with both 00hmh and cardfan. Success at Kansas is 7-5 or 8-4, not necessarily championships and that is attainable.
And yes, they do have a much better chance than IU of having two good programs.
