Before The Hearing
You’ll see a lot of texts updates in this post. This is because I used the new Scoops Texts feature to communicate with VIP subscribers through the weekend. Any email would’ve been outdated and potentially misleading within an hour of sending it. Also… the texts feature is awesome. You’ll see below.
You can upgrade here to get exclusive Hearings, texts, chat live 1:1 with me, and more. Existing VIP subscribers, you can sign up for texts at the bottom of this article.
I know I’m pushing VIP, but I’m confident you’ll find it worthwhile. By upgrading, you’re also supporting my work in keeping KU fans as informed as possible.
Breaking Down the Last 48 Hours of Lance Leipold and Washington
Whether Washington officially offered Lance Leipold or not is semantics. The Huskies wanted KU’s coach. And Leipold didn’t say no until the very end. I’m confident in that. So yeah, tweets worded like this were quite the spin from ESPN.
As Washington courted Leipold, I Heard stories of stress, confusion, confidence, and leverage in the painful few days of the Huskies’ head coaching search. Ultimately, this could be THE program-defining moment for Kansas football.
Here’s how it played out the last 48 hours.
