QUOTE OF THE DAY
"He is just that crazy to do it." — Anonymous Harbaugh confident stated about possible switch from NFL back to college football at Kansas ESPN.com
FACT OF THE DAY
The last NFE head coach to return to coaching in college football was Nick Saban, who was fired by the Dolphins in the 2005-06 season. Saban is still the coach at the University of Alabama.

TRIVIA OF THE DAY
Q. What was the record at the 49ers in 2013 when they went on to play in the Super Bowl?
A:13-3

THE MORNING BREW
Is Jim Harbaugh a legitimate candidate to become next KU football coach?
Did anyone ever think current San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh would ever
leave to coach KU football? Well, I'm here to tell you it might just happen. Recently, there have been reports around the 49ers organization reported by ESPN and SL.com that there is unhappiness with how Harbaugh is coaching, and his players no longer want to play for him. If ESPN and SL.com are right in their reports, then there should be no reason not to try and make a pitch to him about coaching here at Kansas.
Harbaughs wife currently lives and works in Kansas City, Mo., as a nurse, and the rest of his wife's family lives there, too. His wife is originally from Kansas City, and she graduated from Olathe East High School. If he comes

If this were to happen, the football program would drastically change. He turned the 49ers from a disastrous team in 2011 to a team that won the 2013 NFC Championship.Before that, he shaped the Stanford University Cardinal football program into one that was among the top 10 every season.
to Kansas, he can live with his wife in Kansas City and make the short 45-minute commute to Lawrence.
Not only that, but last year, he attended a KU basketball game. To me, that is a sign he could be a candidate to become the next coach. Lawrence just seems like the right
Lawrence just seems like the right fit for him. The University would
definitely get all those KU football fans back that have been missing for six or so years now. It would have the ability to take recruits away from all the other Big 12 schools. He could help snag a couple Texas players and 4- and 5-star recruits that can start on a daily basis and improve game-by-game. He is also the best coach to help struggling quarterback Montell Cozart. He specializes in quarterbacks; just look at where Alex Smith, Andrew Luck and Colin Kaepernick are right now. Each player led his team to the playoffs last season.
Everything is in line to make this hire possible. In athletic director Sheahon Zenger's search for Kansas' next head football coach, he
should not overlook Harbaugh. Kansas missed on the opportunity to hire him back in 2009 (Kansas hired Turner Gill instead), so why not make up for that mistake and grab him now while
he is considering leaving the 49ers after this season? Jayhawk fans shouldn't be surprised if, by next fall, Kansas has a current NFL head coach roaming the Memorial Stadium sidelines.
THE DAILY DEBATE

Who is the Kansas soccer MVP so far?
"KAITLYN STROUD"
+
The Kansas women's soccer team sits at 13-1-0 with five games remaining in the regular season. Ranked 11th in the country and undefeated in Big 12 play, the record season for the Jayhawks will only become more exciting in the weeks to come.
The team has leaders in multiple facets of the pitch. Coach Mark Francis has led Kansas to the best winning percentage in the country at 928, in his 15th year in Lawrence. Liana Salazar and Ashley Williams trigger the Jayhawks' attack with nine and six goals, respectively.
But the biggest key to Kansas' success this year has been fifth-year senior goalkeeper Kaitlyn Stroud. Stroud has kept this Kansas team in every game she's played in, allowing no more than a single goal in a game and allowing six total on the season.
.46 goals per game average. On top of all that, she has 56 saves on 62 shots on goal this season.
Looking at strictly stats, Stroud has been incredibly impressive with seven shutouts in 13 games played. She has a .903 save percentage, and a
All stats aside, there have been games and saves where Stroud has drastically changed the structure of the match.
thing with Stroud is, she hasn't had that much to do in some games, but when she needs to make a save, she's coming up really big"
In a 4-0 win against Saint Mary's, Stroud faced few shots throughout the course of the game with Kansas in control. Yet, with the score tied at 0-0 early on, the Gaels had an almost certain goal-scoring opportunity after a breakdown in the lajyawk defense. Stroud was able to make an acrobatic save denying Saint Mary's the early lead.
"If Stroub doesn't make that save, it's 1-0 and we're down 1-0, and it's a whole different ball game," Francis said after the Saint Mary's game. "The
In addition to making key saves in multiple games, Stroud was also recognized as the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Week on Sept. 30 after back-to-back shutouts against Baylor and TCU.
Stroud has been the anchor of the defense this year and has quietly led this team to one of the best starts in the program's history. If they expect to continue this success, win a Big 12 Championship and make a deep NCAA Tournament run, they will have to rely on Stroud to add to her already spectacular season in goal.

"LIANA SALAZAR"
A as a soccer coach, there is no greater joy than to have
joy than to have a dominant presence, both fast and powerful, that you can count on to score goals every game. There's also no better asset than to have a midfielder who defends well and can backtrack while still scoring like a forward. Kansas coach Mark Francis has both players, or rather, both qualities in one player.
Liana Salazar, a 5-foot-3 junior midfielder, has all the speed and finesse of a great striker, along with the movement and versatility of a top-class midfielder.
DAILY DEBATE RESULTS: OCT.7, 2014
In fact, the No. 11-ranked Jayhawks have ridden on her back for much of the year on their way to a 13-1-0 record.
The stats alone are impressive. Her nine goals are good for 23rd in the country and first on the team. Her 21 points also lead the team, and she's taken nearly twice as many shots as the next leading jahawk.
Who should be the starting quarterback for the rest of the season?
MICHAEL CUMMINGS: 50%
— 12 people polled
VOTE FOR THE WRITER WITH THE MOST CONVINCING ARGUMENT AT KANSAN.COM
MONTELL COZART: 50%
Nine goals on 41 shots isn't exactly the picture of efficiency. But for the explosive jayhawk offense, it's not about the efficiency so much as the sheer number of shots. The Jayhawks have outshot their opponents by nearly 30 through 14 games, and have outscored opponents 30-7. In fact, compared to their opponents, the Jayhawk offense is nearly four times more efficient, and Salazar alone has more goals (9) than all her opponents combined (7).
Salazar has made an impact on her team that goes beyond the goals. She's played more minutes than every midfielder except Jackie Georglouis, showing her dependability. She's been issued just one yellow card in 14 games, showing her discipline. She's the only
Jayhawk to take a penalty shot, and she's converted on both opportunities, showing her cool under pressure. And her three game-winning goals are the highest on the team.
She also has World Cup experience, playing in three matches for Colombia in 2011, including a start against the United States.
In Salazar, Francis has a dependable goal-scoring, clutch, cool-under-pressure, powerful midfield force — one of the best in the country. It's tough to say Salazar is the MVP of the Jayhawks over Kaitlyn Stroud. But Salazar has created something out of nothing countless times, not only supplying herself but assisting her teammates, all out of a midfield position where she is required to track back on defense in addition to attacking. While Stroud must usually depend on her back line, the high-powered Jayhawk offense depends on Salazar.
And if they want to unseat the UCLA Bruins and win their first ever championship, they'll need big contributions from Salazar.
