Kansas AD retires early...

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Look what running a guy off and his replacement losing to North Dakota State will do to you..you quit ahead of time...

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Embattled Kansas athletic director Lew Perkins has retired, a year before he planned to step down.

Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little and Perkins made the announcement Tuesday.

Perkins is 65. He had said in June he would retire in 2011.

Since Perkins arrived from UConn, the Jayhawks have won the NCAA basketball championship and the football team won the Orange Bowl.

But there have also been scandals and embarrassments, including a ticket scam allegedly conducted by staff members that cost the school as much as $3 million.

Perkins has not been implicated in any wrongdoing in the ticket scandal. Sean Lester was named interim athletic director.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Turner's got 2 years if he's lucky.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

your probably right..since the guy who is going to be his AD didn't hire him, there won't be that pull to give him extra chances

Yeah, it's tough for coaches to stay if they're not hired by the guy in charge, unless they're good, solid coaches with the records to show for it.

I actually think he's in Florida right now. I think KU paid him a lot to leave. Come to think of it, I think Mike Leach is out there too

[Jacie]

So Leach and Mangino are on a pirate ship somewhere plotting how they will get their old jobs back in Norman?

[Soonerfan88]

I think it was more about the ticket scandal but that embarrassing loss sure didn't help matters. Enjoy retirement, Lew!

[yermom]

You didn't even give him a chance!

heh.

[yermom]

[SoonerLB]

Leach gave up on the ship thing and got hisself a land yacht!

[delhalew]

Leach got himself a VPN line or whatever on his boat so he do a sweet assed show on Sirius 122 at 11am central. It's call CFB Playbook with Jack Arute. Leach being the pirate he is, he doesn't work on Fridays. Eddie George subs for him.
