Someone convince me that this isn't the equivalent of Kansas hiring Les Miles. I laughed at that hire. Seems like a lot of outsiders are laughing at this hire.
I agree with the sentiment, but Les Miles made it to 2 national championship games, and won one. Even with the support of a program like LSU, that's some serious success. In a dozen years in the SEC, he had ONE season below .500, and that was only 1 game below .500. Helluva a run compared to BB.
3 wins in 20 games at Kansas so far. Think about that folks. And by the way, Miles is getting $2.8 million there. BB is what, $4.2 mil?
Everyone remind me to come back here when he's brought Illinois up to respectability on and off the field, because I'll be surprised, and very happy to be reminded that I didn't see it coming. Definitely give me more respect for JW.
