Jacque Vaughn... Thoughts?
-
Du… du haase… du hasst to see it.
-
@wissox Dammit. What you just said. THAT’S what I wanted to say.
-
@wissox nobody has a large college sample size given how different the game is post NIL. Bill had zero NBA experience, something that might have been valuable these last 3 years
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Larry might have had two if Archie Marshall hadn’t gotten injured in 1986. Besides Haase, Roy also might have won if Capt Kirk hadn’t hurt his knee. Bill, perhaps three if Embiid hadn’t …
You can go on and on with what if’s! It’s what makes sports fun–no season is ever over in our memories!
-
97 team was so good! Agree
-
@mayjay 3 if embiid didnt get hurt? No way man. That roster was “woof!”
-
So, ball is in Vaughn’s court as far as taking the job. Perhaps he’s negotiating some more NIL (half kidding) but hopefully some news this week there.

Bill likely scored another nattie in the Covid year. That team was a real smasher!
-
Embiid was never going to beat Florida that year. However, our 2019 team if Doke stays healthy and LaGerald doesn’t quit the team might be another final 4 or title as well.
-
It getting close with Jacque vaughn and ku
-
@JAYHAWKFAN214 just heard that!
-
Done deal.
-
@RockkChalkk yes it officially
-
awesome! An all-time great back in da house.
-
YES!
-
Pretty happy about this. Difficult to be angry about misses when our staff changes and the guys we have gotten all seem like hard workers. This offseason still has the potential to be magical with lots of time remaining, but at the least it has been all positive.
-
Definitely feels like a potential successor to Self if Vaughn can handle the transition which I think he’ll be able to.
Also really looking forward to seeing what Vaughn can do with Peterson and Elmarko Jackson’s development.
-
I’m glad to see some jayhawk bloodline and history on the team. None of these current players are going to know crap about Jacque, but I think he’ll give it his best shot.
btw, I’ve probably mentioned it a few hundred times, but my wife taught Jacque (great student) and BJ Thomas (punctual, but not great) in English 101 back when she was working on her PhD at KU in the 90s.
-
I love that we hired a former Jayhawk! I never heard you say that your wife taught him. Pretty cool. He’s a cool, calm, steady smart guy.
-
IMHO, Vaughn didn’t come to KU to be a long term assistant. I would think this hire portends a near term Self retirement (2-3 years). Or is KU a springboard for Vaughn?
-
@Gorilla72 a good tryout? See how much coaching Self lets him do.

Think JV chances is going to be our next Coach, I still feel Bill will hang it up after next Season. Bring JV in and get him familiar
-
I’m on board thinking JV is trying out to be Self’s replacement. And I support this maneuver!
-
@drgnslayr Could JV come be an assistant at my place of work? And take over IMMEDIATELY?
-
@nuleafjhawk What is your work? Coaching college basketball is something I don’t understand on the hiring practices. I know some of it is political… a bit of a popularity contest. Otherwise, I think it requires visionaries to see the future when hiring. I don’t trust myself to pick the next KU coach… but I like the idea of JV coming in as an assistant, and I can sense the potential of him being the next Kansas coach.
