@Kcmatt7 fair points but you have to be good in FB and BB to be a successful AD at this level. Instead of spending a $300 million donation on competitive players it was blown on facilities for one sport.
Agree to disagree. A lot more nuance than that to it. Facilities are an important part of remaining competitive.
And the old one was literally falling apart. It’s not like all that was AD money either. We had opportunities with ARPA and other funds to make it pencil. Not like any of it could’ve gone to NIL anyway.

I really want to like LL and think he is a decent coach but this broken record playing the last 3 years is unacceptable. We are a D1 power conference football team that can’t even successfully execute a punt 50% of the time.

@kjayhawks2.0 Thanks, like I knew what you were going to say but wanted to hear it for sure! I do think he's lost some of his fire and may just be like other guys my age who say screw it, this system we're in is just dumb. I can't keep guys at one of the 2 or 3 best programs in the land and have to go after guys who've played in 3 different states in 3 years and hope they come here and are somehow better than they were at St johns and Wisconsin and Narnia St and at Puff the Magic Dragon U of Honalee.

The question becomes how much longer can we have Marshall playing QB? 13 for 30 against Missouri and 12 for 26 against KSU. I warned myself and everyone else of growing pains but dang his season completion percentage has now dropped below 50%.

I think you’ve got to let him finish the season at this point and see if there is any progress. Nothing to gain from playing any the other guys as far as the future is concerned.

Ha, sounds like Marshall has a little Daniels in him ... shows immense athletic ability and talent ... but then makes a mind-bogglng decision or two each game.
He's likely by far the QB that gives us the best chance to win. He's just inexperienced. Hopefully in time he puts it all together.
Some QB stat comparisons (he could be worse):
Marshall -- KU -- 4 TDs / 8 INTs / 1143 passing yards / 135 QBR (from fox sports)
Manning -- Texas -- 5 TDs / 10 INTs / 1122 passing yards
Johnson -- K State -- 3 TDs / 9 INTs / 1092 passing yards / 134 QBR
Boley -- ASU -- 3 TDs / 12 INTs / 1229 yards passing / 149 QBR
Ratnor -- ISU -- 4 TDs / 7 INTs / 1101 passing yards. 124 QBR

I don't know what's sadder, the fact that we've lost 18 in a row to KSU or the fact that we still lead the all time series.
