Rumor: Ed Warinner a candidate for Kansas HC

I hope they meant Fred Warner.  

Warinner isn't a splashy enough hire for Kansas. Les Miles seems to be the bigger name thrown around. 

Just trying to stir the pot for Michigan fans, I'm sure. He also predicted that PSU would get a big win over us last week, and we all saw how that prediction turned out. 

There's nothing concrete for this to go on, but if Warriner wants a HC job, I don't blame him. I'd just tell him he can do better than KU. Much, much better. That place is probably the hardest P5 job to win at right now. Harder than Rutgers, where at least you're surrounded by good HS talent. You've got nothing out in Kansas. 

Kansas' AD said it would be someone with HC experience thus Warinner would not be a candidate.

So is he a top candidate because Rick Neuheisel thinks he should be or because KU is actually interviewing him?  Seems like Slick Rick is just spouting his personal nonsense to fill air.

Nooooooooo.  

It’s not official until Herbstreit mentions it during his Saturday night football broadcast.

Les must either really need the $$ or be bored out of his gourd if he's even thinking about taking the KU job. 

I am a big Warinner fan.  There is only two coaches on Michigan staff that will make me lose sleep if we lost.  The Don and Harbs. Yes, I really like all the coaches on staff right now. But success will get them poached.  Just the reality of successful college football teams.

Can't Bill Self do it?

I'm pretty sure everyone involved in the decision to hire him at Michigan, on both sides, knew this was meant to be a short-term springboard for more high-ranking position elsewhere. One day soon, likely within the next 8 to 9 weeks, I'll read that he's accepted a position somewhere. If not this year, then next year. No biggie.

What ever Kansas offers him which won’t be much match it. Why in the world would you want to coach at Kansas? He won’t last 4 years. Not Saban would succeed there

Has anyone started a GoFundMe for his contract extension yet?

Long already said they want a guy with prior HC experience.  Ed doesn’t fit that.

Im really hoping they hire Les.

STOP

Request denied. He stays at Michigan. He's not in Kansas anymore.

I don't mind him leaving, but any interested team needs to wait until after the regular season/championship game to contact him. 

Rick Neuheisel lol.

Please pay that man.

But also, I understand the drive to run your own program but what person in their right mind would take that Kansas job?

Neuhuisel is a dink and has never liked Michigan.  Screw that guy.   And pay Warinner.  

I would not be surprised if coaching O Line at Michigan is more enjoyable than the stress of trying to run/build a struggling program right now.  

Gary Moeller won like three games in three years as HC at Illinois.  That’s not fun. 

How much does that D coordinator at L$U make? Something like 2.5 large per year? Seems like 2 would be a bargain no? Hmm that means paying Don Brown the same at least. Okay Ward will have to put some serious thought into this.

Rick also said Penn state would beat us so there's that..

Pay him what a true OC at Michigan would make. Make 1.5 million here and be the man doing what he does best or make a little more in Lawrence and have to coach FCS level talent

He was a miserable OC that got the position because of the Peter principle. I think he would be a pretty bad HC too. He is one hell of a line coach though and I hope we can retain him. 

The Mad Hatter has the inside track so don't worry.

You couldn’t pay me enough to live in Kansas.

My son is a - you have no idea how hard this is for me to say - he's an OSU fan (I'm pretty sure it's motivated by spite). One of the things he has been complaining about is that OSU coaches DON'T get poached by other programs and move up the food chain. He thinks that's a really bad sign if no one is interested in your coaches, and he has a point. 

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

The sky is falling! 

Can't blame the man if he has the opportunity and/or the desire to be a P5 head coach.  I think he has done a tremendous job with our line, but when Harbaugh built the Death Star other programs are going to seek out his assistants. Part of the game...

Holy shit I’d kill myself, we need to offer that man the maximum amount of money we possibly can

If he goes, I'm not worried, so long as Harbaugh finds an O-line coach that can do the job.

Rick Neuheisel is not particularly credible, and this reads more like him just throwing names out there.  If Warinner leaves, then good luck to him.  But he's got a good thing going at Michigan and he could do a LOT better than Kansas if he waited a bit.
