It was dumb, although either way, you'll see recruit attrition. As for candidates... I don't think there's any chance we'll go the retread route after Chuck's performance. I also think Gill will have made them a little gunshy about the mid-major route, although maybe Craig Bohl would get consideration. I think Beatty or Ed Warriner or Scott Frost or Tom Herman seem like where we might land, although Herman might not want the job, as it might be a career killer. Beaty is someone who can recruit in TX, if they want to do defense, I'd look at Venables from Clem as well. Either way, I'd look at it as if you hire someone who's successful in 3-4 years they're likely going elsewhere, like I view Stoops at UK. Hudspeth at ULL will likely end up in a major conf. but I don't think its a good fit for KU.
