The Sudden & Sad Downfall of Kansas Football (The Hype is Over)

Lance Leipold has quickly turned the Kansas program around, so much so that he had them ranked going into 2024 and they have been seen as a program with an insane future. Sadly, the Jayhawks are off to a terrible 1-3 start and the sky is seemingly falling with choke after choke. Today, I want to take a look at how bad Kansas was, how Leipold rebuilt them and why the season has fallen apart, enjoy!

East Carolina University, please

OU Sooners Monkey Paw on offense and defense and missing on the top rated QB in the recruiting class.

Texas Tech Football could be cursed video. (It's like you're old video you made about Boston College about them being cursed).

[@the1magageneral323]

Talk about the most underrated QBs like Tyson Bagent.

Team that are not talking about

[@BubbaBrons]

I like that we’ve gotten to a point as a program that people are hyped for us and going 1-3 in close games is considered to be massively disappointing, however it’s soul crushing because we all got SO hype for this year. We are absolutely talented enough to turn the season around, but I’m afraid that we might’ve dug ourselves into too deep of a hole to redeem this season.

[@Cooljohn760]

It's sad to Kansas Football headed back to dark years. The problem is the QB Jalon Daniel's. He is regressing big time. Lance Leopoid needs to make a QB change. I still think Leopoid is a good coach and KU can be a bowl team.

[@thundergato84]

It doesn't help Kansas lost their OC to Penn, and hired Jeff Grimes.

[@Cooe.]

Bean was solid and consistent, but with a lower ceiling. Jalon's all over the damn place and EXTREMELY unreliable. 🤷 It's a downgrade overall.

Its exactly where they belong 😇 as a free win

It’s 2010 all over again for Kansas football

[@lukedetering4490]

I wouldn't be too quick to call Kansas a failure this year. While they are 1-3, they were extremely competitive. They could be bowl eligible this year if they fix their issues. While making a small bowl game seems like a let down, it's a let down due to higher expectations. Getting Kansas to this point is honestly impressive

[@yigyountry]

keon coleman and jamar chase committed !!! that would’ve been cool to see

[@damianpresha9833]

Won't matter now they in the pros

[@cameronb4359]

Hoping that the issues can get fixed.

[@epic_gameryt523]

Yall are a pretty good team when Jalon Daniels doesnt throw the ball to another team.

[@rngfootball759]

This version of Kansas is way better than the dark days of the Gill/Weis/Beaty regimes of the 2010s and going back a bit the post Glen Mason days of the late 90s (they were quite bad but not 2010s bad). Hopefully they make it to a bowl game.

I’ve been a life long Notre dame fan but haven’t been big into cfb ever since deshone Kizer and will fuller left, but now that the ncaa game got me invested again, your channel is an awesome way to get acclimated with current day cfb 🙏🙏

[@jackpackage4278]

I really like Lance Leipold so I’m hoping they can have a resurgence this year. He brought Kansas up and out of the mud but it’s still a developmental program. Down years happen at schools like that.

[@cjboyer4355]

Yea problem is they have 30 seniors and all their playmakers have 3+ years of starting experience. I think everyone expected next year to be a down year but this is truly sad.

[@BrodyNiehoff]

Good thing they have a decent basketball program😅 Hey Scott I was inspired to re-edit one of your previous videos and sent it over in an email. Would love to hear what you think when you get a chance! Keep up the awesome work!

[@aaronklinker5604]

I honestly think that this program still needs a lot of work after a decade of losing constantly I don’t think Lepold is a bad coach and the OC isn’t helping anything but it feels like there is still the stench of losing all these years.

[@TheKing60210]

Kansas needs a new stadium

[@Cooljohn760]

They are working on a renovation.

[@captaingramcrackergrams5990]

Yes, this year so far has been disappointing for Kansas, but considering how bad they were before the last couple of seasons, I wouldn't call it a failure or act like they're going back to the dark ages quite yet because remember it wasn't that long ago. A one and three start wouldn't have been that bad for Kansas lol and as a Nebraska fan, the panic here after we lost one game after starting 3 and 0 is also laughably hilarious. We're having the best season we've had in 7-8 years and people are acting like the whole thing's falling apart and it's the Scott Frost era again because we lost one game to a closely comparably ranked team lol

[@Omacracker19]

Kansas has 3 losses to teams who are a combined 9-2 (two undefeated) and one currently ranked, all by 6 or less points. Calling this a downfall already so so dumb.

[@jacksonperry23]

I think 2 ranked. UNLV and Illinois

[@cjboyer4355]

@@jacksonperry23UNLV isn’t ranked but going off AP votes they are #29 in the nation.

I thought Kansas was going to contend for the Big 12 championship going into the season. Changed my mind about that now.

At least we have basketball😢

Honestly we need to quit saying this. Football is the life blood of every college athletic department.

Wow that Lindenwood shade

[@RSeaker]

Didn’t KU just lose its innovative OC?

[@michaelugwueke6312]

I never bought Kansas being back I thought that was would still be Kansas even after last season or the season before that. Turns out I was right

[@spoonsz]

Not really tho 😂 the old Kansas loses the first game they won and they would have been ran out the stadium by the others but played them close you're just a hater dear God 😂😂

[@cjboyer4355]

They lost a one score game to #19 Illinois and a one score to UNLV they are not bad they just can’t close out a game.

[@LuigiWithGun]

To be honest, its a little early for a kansas downfall video. I think kansas will be fine

[@lastpme]

KU will be ok if their coach stays.
