Sticking to my guns

I’ve been saying that I felt Self was coming back and I’m sticking with that. My gut tells me he’s coming back. Nothing is official until its official, but I just have a gut feeling.

My guess is soon. Before the end of the week, or sooner, is what my gut is telling me.

I hope you are correct. It just surprises me that he's made the program unstable for this length of time. I can't imagine he'll let this go much longer.

Appreciate you sharing your opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if there are negotiations going on that are causing it to take a bit. I understand not rushing something like this anyway..

I would imagine that if Bill is coming back JV's contract is getting re-negotiated as more of a head coach in waiting. I think all along they would like to keep it in the family and get JV a couple of years under Bill before he takes the reigns. By the way recruits have mentioned JV being on staff as a major positive for them. How about we run Bill's D and JV's NBA O next year? Let JV be the offensive coordinator.

Yes he is trying to firm up additional support for NIL and the portal.

“I haven’t decided,” Self said when asked if he would be coaching next year. “I’ll get back and visit with family. I’ve had obviously some issues off the court health-wise. And that will be discussed. But I love what I do. I want to feel good while I’m doing it, though.” He was certainly undecided and that will remain the case until he says otherwise. Still, I think he’ll return.

Then please provide plausible explanations as to why he is drawing this announced intention to return out so long? If he was confident in his decision to return. What does he hope to gain by drawing his public announcement to stay???

Thanks, Shay. I think you're right. Any thoughts regarding Stokes? Has that ship sailed or do you think he's truly waiting to hear what Self decides?

surely the talk about JV head coach in waiting is just a joke right? I sure hope it is really just a joke

Doesn’t matter whose offense we run if you have only 1 player hit 40% on 3 point shots, and a total of 2 players at 38% or more.

I don’t think the ship has sailed at all. I’m talking to a few people, they still believe that Kansas is in great shape. We’ll see.

He legitimately took the time to visit with his doctors and family. Some harder to convince than others. Even if you play this out and say he decides to retire Friday. Our top two candidates are still coaching and the third is on staff.
