Despite the fact that the article didn’t do much at all support its points, the attempt by our SB Nation sister-site Viva The Matadors to convince everyone that other schools in the Big 12 should be scared of the fact that we fired Sheahon Zenger did get me thinking about the importance of that hire for KU.
I don’t think it is questionable at all that the main impetus for firing Zenger was his inability to fix the football program. But it’s also abundantly clear that there are some very big challenges facing whomever is tasked with leading the athletic department next.
