volleyball, basketball or women's soccer, right? KS has to put together a team of 123 players, and so far, has still not had a full P5 budget to work with. He won't have it until 2025. His schedules have been tougher than anything past head coaches Edwards or Mendenhall ever faced, and it's not close. You do realize as well that at this same point in LaVell's coaching career (after 8 seasons as HC), he had 0 wins in bowl games and was playing weak schedules every year?

Facts are stubborn things, and apt comparisons are inconvenient things, especially when you're a little too determined to disparage a coach to judge him fairly.
