Dear Kwansei Gakuin University,
ANNOUNCE LES MILES YOU FUCKING N**S!!!!!

The Alabama of Japanese College Football. Research, gaijin.
A team that is capable of holding its own with KU, I might add. Seriously though, Satoshi Ikeno (current KG coach) is a better fit for the job than Les Miles, wink wink.@Hachiko wants a Japanese university that probably has a major for Hentai Development and Exploration to hire a football coach who is a creepy perverted sexual deviant. They go together like sushi and sake.

Didn't KG get smoked by Princeton? Princeton! If they can't get over on an Ivy, I don't think a Big XII opponent (even a shitty one like the Jayhawks) would be a better matchup for them.
Doesn’t the USA team made up of D3 players always crush foreign all-star teams in the university games or whatever it’s called?
What sports are you referring to?
I suspect our college players are generally head and shoulders above similar-aged competition in most sports outside of soccer, rugby, cricket, and maybe badminton. In football, I suspect a really good high school team could beat most non-Americam collegiate teams.
There’s some international college football competition. I’ve watched a few games over the years. The USA team is like all D3 players and my recollection is they beat the living hell out of everyone else including Canada.
Les is out.
Leipold, Monken, and Fritz mentioned as three top candidates.
I don’t see any of those guys wanting to go to Kansas

Australia also plays, although I’m not entirely sure of the level.Just on my cursory research, I've learned that gridiron American style college football is played not only in Japan, but also in Mexico, South Korea, the UK, and of course, Canada.
I had known Japan played college football, ever since I watched a program as a kid that showed what was then called the "Pulsar Bowl" and was their collegiate championship game, and I remember being quite intrigued about it.
I've got to wonder about the skill level of these international players, given that probably fewer than 5% of them played ANY sort of organized football before college (with the exception of Canada, which I know plays HS footbaw), but I think it would still be neat to watch.
Or, it might be on a par with watching high school level American soccer.

THIS. Seriously though, Les Miles should be banned from football worldwide.
Agree to disagree, but if he still wants to coach, he needs to do it overseas. He is finished over here.Didn't KG get smoked by Princeton? Princeton! If they can't get over on an Ivy, I don't think a Big XII opponent (even a shitty one like the Jayhawks) would be a better matchup for them.
They should have hired Rick Jones from Greenwood, but I don’t know that Kelley would be the worst hire.Staples: Kansas needs to do what comes unnaturally — go for it with Kevin Kelley

At first glance, Kelley’s methods seem daft. His Pulaski Academy team doesn’t punt. It onside kicks after every score. It routinely runs trick plays. And all the Bruins do is pound the stuffing out of teams that usually have far more physically gifted players.
National Championship for Colleges is called Koshien Bowl, high school championship is called Christmas Bowl, pro national championship is Japan X Bowl and overall national championship is called Rice Bowl. Korea's overall national championship is, aptly, called the Kimchi Bowl. #bowlseasonJust on my cursory research, I've learned that gridiron American style college football is played not only in Japan, but also in Mexico, South Korea, the UK, and of course, Canada.

Nope, not THAT.
We've had a few canadian teams travel down to play my local hs. The canadian teams without fail are horrendous. I remember one game where the kick off return guy called a fair catch on the 5 yard line of the opening kick of the game. We would hang 70 on them with a running clock
I’m thinking it’s not “Nags.” So, I’d like to buy an “I.” NI*S. How about a P?
Do Canadian HS teams play by the same rules as the CFL (12 men a side, only 3 downs, 110 yard field)? And if so, do you think part of them being bad at playing American teams has to do with adjusting to differing rules?
Or is it perhaps that football in Canada is like, well, probably like soccer in the USA - a given school's most athletically gifted players tend to play football, basketball or baseball, and soccer generally doesn't get the high-level athletes. In Canada, I suppose anyone who is an athlete wants to play hockey.
Eddie George hired as head corch of Tennessee St.
First ever coaching job. Just going all in trying to copy Jackson State's Deion strategy.
He hired Jeff Fisher as an advisor. Fisher's son as defensive coordinator & yesterday he hired Hue Jackson as the offensive coordinator
So, the strategy is to suck on purpose?
So, the strategy is to suck on purpose?
They will probably hire SKIP then
Is there any guarantee Monken runs the option at KU?
Not saying he isn’t a good corch, but nobody is hiring a 61 year old whose best season at the G5 level is 7-6, Tulane or not. Tulane has its problems, but they’ve also invested a lot into that program. If he won 8-9 games like you said, he would be getting more attention, but he loses too many games he shouldn’t. They lost to 3-5 Houston and 3-7 Navy last year. That’s not attractive to anybody when it’s your fifth year running a program. Start out 5-1 in 2019 and they drop 5 of their last 7. His third year was really impressive, but they haven’t done anything better since then. He should’ve had an 8-9 win season at this point, and yeah, it’s Tulane, but don’t be shocked when nobody wants to hire a guy who’s 61 and hasn’t done better than 7-6. Moving to Tulane was a dumb move on his part if he’s interested in going to the P5. He could’ve kept winning 8-10 games a year at GSU and eventually gotten hired at a low level program in the ACC/SEC/Big 12.
I don’t know why you guys are so obsessed with Fritz, anyway. If you want to talk about a guy who has succeeded everywhere and is doing well at a program with a ton of constraints, Chris Creighton has more or less the same resume as Fritz except winning 7 games at EMU is like winning 10 at Tulane and he’s done it twice.
