All I know is that if he fired Frost early spending all that extra $, and takes all this time conducting this search and building the suspense, and then ends up hiring Monken or Campbell or Leipold or some other middle-of-the-road coach, well, that's sad.

You're more optimistic than I am

Petersen would be a home run in my opinion. However I think all these folks who think we're going to hit a home run are setting themselves up for failure. I learned my lesson from the Riley hire. I have no doubt it's going to be another safe, economical hire with zero flash or buzz. Meanwhile Auburn will hire Kiffin and get all the spotlight for stealing him away from Ole Miss.

Kansas very well could finish 6-7 after starting 5-0. Not nearly as impressive as initially thought. I hope Leipold isn't the guy.

Depends on who you talk to. There are plenty of folks who think Leipold would be a good hire. Heck, there are plenty who want to keep Mickey just because "the kids play hard for him."

We're gonna end up with Leipold or Campbell or Monken with all the media and AD pretending it's a home run aren't we
