I have tried to find a record for consecutive wins to start a career by a rookie coach. If anybody has any idea please post. Im guessing CFH has a ways to go though.

I know Bob Guthridge who took over for UNC after Dean Smith retired had over 30 wins his first year as head coach if I remember correctly.Quote:

Yeah, Bill was the one the won 17 straight. Not sure what Bob was up to. Probably hanging out with Dave McCarney.Quote:

I don't think it has been close at home since we had Jake Sullivan. I think KU is even better than last year, esp. when they get Selby back.Quote:

Morgan played them close in '05 (year after Jake left). Mac took them to OT in '07.Quote:

I hope CFH can get us back to the days I remember-Beating KU in close games at Hilton, then who cares what happens at the Phog. We had a nice stretch of winning quite a few games against them (at home).Quote:
