SIAP: Bill Self Bizarre Answer

Sounds like someone's agent is using the media to make a play for more money. I hope his ass ends up in Stillwater like Calipari did in Fayetteville.

This is dumb... I'm not looking it up but didn't he just win kansas a 2nd title 2 or 3 years ago. 2022? He's had two Mediocre seasons due to misses on talent and honestly hunter Dickenson probably isn't a player you can win big with in that system... he's a great player but it's not really working. And that's your two years right there...swing and a miss. I still think self is a great coach, top 3 active easily.... hell I wish he'd leave kansas right now. This isn't like coach cal last 5 years at UK... but I could be wrong, we will see, big 12 way tougher now, if he has 3 more of these seasons I was wrong. ... but NIL era, he'll get the players and they will be back.

Unless maybe the reason he is looking around is because kansas isn't acting like they are going to be able to compete NIL wise and he wants to go somewhere to get more NIL money to build a team.

I'm not saying anything about whether he should stay or go. I called out a bizarre ass answer. And that's a bizarre ass answer from Self.

Imagine if Cal said that about Arkansas

"I did talk to them... Not necessarily about hiring me, but about what needs to happen for them to compete in this league... But the part that I stayed holed up in Fayetteville... that was totally inaccurate"

We'd be demanding a head on a pike. I don't care if OSU is his alma mater. They're in the same damn conference! And a direct competitor! You WOULD NEVER give a rival coach/school about what needs to happen for them to be more competitive. Holy cow. Imagine you did this at your company?! You'd be FIRED instantly! "Hey boss I know I came from Company B, and they've been struggling. So I went to them to give them some advice of how to be competitive in our field" Do you see how insane that sounds?
My goodness. This whole damn place is falling apart.

It’s his Alma mater so I would assume he wouldn’t mind to see them do well when not playing KU, which is why he offered advice.

The problem with that is, same conference. And a direct competitor. If I'm AD that would not sit well with me. At. All.

And if you believe that Self saying that is the truth, well, I've got oceanfront property in Nebraska for you.

Dude, I was like 13-14 when that happened. I liked Clinton (he was the fun, sax playing President) and when I heard him say "That woman.." I was like, "Oh you lying sack of...."

I was sad man. Kinda my first taste of politicians are lying poop sacks. Just sucked because again, Clinton was funny and cool. Miss those days when politics were kinda fun instead of dogmatic holy wars.

When i said it was dumb...i wasn't aiming it at you OP if that's what your thought so I'm sorry if it came over that way.

I mean it's dumb for the KU fans that think he's leaving or want him to leave basically...which has been some chatter. But yea I'd be pissed if he was talking to a rival like when Cal talked with UCLA and was more pissed that Barnharts dumba55 didn't call the bluff and gave cal lifetime deal

No, it's all good. I was clarifying that I don't care if Self stays or goes. I can't stand the dude.

And yeah, I don't see how anybody reasonable would be ok with that. I mean, we were pissed when Stoops was going to A&M and said, "Nah, never mind. It's YOU guys I love." Again, a-Bull-ah-shit.
