Heard it this afternoon from a large booster. According to him all "anti-Lew" large donors all received a phone call this AM.

Re: Lew Perkins gone as of today!!!!!

So what does this do for the current staff?

[Jayhawker]

Re: Lew Perkins gone as of today!!!!!

It really doesn't do anything other than put them on edge. Hopefully the new guy realizes that jobs are hard to come by and keeps them around.

I was talking about the football staff.

Re: Lew Perkins gone as of today!!!!!

Their pretty much in the same position. I would think they might be a little nervous though if the new guy comes in and doesn't appreciate losses to FCS teams.

Re: Lew Perkins gone as of today!!!!!

I don't know, I seem to remember a few years back when an AD left that a certain bball coach really liked. It started a downward spiral of that coaches tenure in Lawrence. I think Bill Self is a big Lew fan, I don't know that for sure, but, I think Self has gotten anything he wanted from Perkins (that's not a bad thing). I know this thread is in reference to what the football programs response to the AD "retiring" but it will go much deeper than that IMO.

Re: Lew Perkins gone as of today!!!!!

One big difference Lime, our current coach doesn't think he is bigger and better than the University itself.

Coach Self knows that he has an awesome job regardless of who his "boss" is.
