As for head coaching experience, Long shared his belief that where Kansas currently sits among its fellow Big 12 schools, that it’s going to be near impossible to learn on the job and have success
“I’d like to have a someone with head coaching experience. These jobs are too big to learn on the job. And I’d like to be able to attract someone who’s been a head coach.”
