***** OFFICIAL 2015 KANSAS FOOTBALL THREAD *****
 

Let's go...



Rob Likens (Offensive Coordinator)

"Rob has been a major player in some of the best offenses in the history of college football,” Beaty said of his new OC, who enjoyed great success at Louisiana Tech and helped lead Cal's 2013 offense to several school records and put the 2014 version in the Top 10 nationally. “I have always been a fan of Rob's ability to develop players who produce at a high level. Rob has learned from some of the best in the country and is as fine of an offensive mind as I have been around. Rob is a man of integrity and character and I cannot wait for our team to be able to benefit from his wisdom."

Zach Yenser (Offensive Line - Run Game Coordinator)

A source with knowledge of the rest of the Kansas University football coaching staff told The Journal-World on Tuesday night that Cal assistant coach Zach Yenser would join Beaty's staff as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator.

Cal coach Sonny Dykes later confirmed the news via a statement given to Cal's Rivals.com site.


Clint Bowen (Defensive Coordinator)

Je'Ney Jackson (Strength and Conditioning)

"Je'Ney brings a great familiarity with the University of Kansas as well as a wealth of experience in the strength and conditioning world," Beaty said. "His ability to develop and relate to our players will be a large part of our initiative moving forward. He is widely regarded as one of the top coordinators in this field. He is without a doubt, my most important hire and we are honored to have him here."

Kevin Kane (Linebackers)

"I always admired Kevin as a player, but I am even more impressed with his ability to teach and develop young players. He is a tireless recruiter and he is as well thought of in the Kansas City community as anyone I know. He will bring an energy and toughness to our team that we will all benefit from. It has been fun watching his linebackers play over the years and I'm glad that he is now coaching our guys.”

Calvin Thibodeaux (Defensive Line)

"His players exhibit responsibility, toughness and passion and we are looking forward to him bringing those elements to KU. His ability as a coach is only surpassed by his upstanding character and integrity as a man."

Klint Kubiak (Wide Receivers)

"He is as hard of a worker as I have ever seen in our profession. His ability to connect with his players in the NFL and at Texas A&M has been impressive to watch. Our wide receivers will benefit greatly from his experience."

Gene Wier (Director of High School Relations)

"Not only is he fulfilling a lifelong dream of becoming a Jayhawk, but he will certainly add a much-needed element to our staff. His long-standing relationships with the great coaches of the state will allow us to better understand and serve our coaches."

I'm not real sure what to think of this guy. Can't be any worse than Charlie and Turner.

Killer non-con. Let's go.

DeBerg sumthing

Tomahawk, maybe you could add Beaty's new staff to the header for the time being?

:clap:

Can we make it to 4 wins?

I don't think so.

Rutgers and Memphis in the noncon and both had great seasons in 2014.

South Dakota State yes and perhaps Iowa State. Texas Tech? Texas Implosion?

I say 2...

Matt Tait ‏@mctait now8 seconds ago
Just confirmed w/ a source that Gary Hyman will join #KUfball staff as ST & TE coach. Hyman & Beaty worked together at A&M… UTEP before that

Long ways to go before Sept gets here...

Like hell you say. We've arrived!!!!

Just helping out the slow posters....

Hopefully for your own sake, you do not respond to this.

...or your will be tied with Bambi with most posts in this thread.

/just saying

Along with Clint Bowen, Reggie Mitchell was also retained as Running Backs coach. He's survived multiple HC firings now.. guy is like a cat with 9 lives. If there is one position KU has been good at over this stretch it has been rb.


also

It seems pretty wild to make a guy with 1 years experience as a college coach a co-DC but I guess that's what it took to pull him away from TCU. Good connections for recruiting

We also lost a couple recruits

Losing someone to TCU I get but what is the kid thinking going to SMU?

The exposure there is so small.

***** OFFICIAL 2015 KANSAS FOOTBALL THREAD *****
 

Found this on twitter tonight.

@JoshMoore_08: If you didn't know already, I will not be going to Ku.

@JoshMoore_08: It was a deal where my high school coach tried to force me to go to his favorite school.

He doesn't happen to go to Blue Springs, does he?

***** OFFICIAL 2015 KANSAS FOOTBALL THREAD *****
 

Olathe North

He has a nice offer list too. Looks like a big-time loss.

http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...h-Moore-155406

Appears academic failing is the issue. Good luck to him wherever he can get on the field.

So, do you guys beat Iowa State this year or are you going winless in Big 12 play?

Looks like you owe me an apology...

Why do you give a ****?

Are you going to schedule someone in non-con or are you going to get shut out of true playoffs again?

Why? You didn't apologize re: Christian Colon despite the MLb.com article by Sam Dykstra. All you did was get pissed off and double-down.

Did I miss something? Did we trade Colon for Upton?

We're not Baylor.

We schedule tough teams in our non-conference schedule.

Are you jealous that we won the Big 12 so quickly?

I mentioned this in another thread when he committed to ku. He had committed to Ohio State, and then was told by tOSU that he would not be accepted academically. He was then told that by just about every school. Weir told him to accept the ku offer as a fallback option in the event that he would qualify. Now, it appears that he has a small chance to qualify, which is why he's taking the mu trip. I still think the kid ends up at a Juco.

Scheduling was not TCU's problem - collapsing like the Twin Towers against Baptist U was their issue.

MU academic standards are that far below Kansas and Ohio State?

That's surprising.

I gladly apologize to you knowing my school has standards that won't allow a player like this in.

Good luck to him and I hope he gets his life in order.

LMAO - Yeah, I don't think so. The deal is he now sees an opportunity to qualify, and he want's to be at a school that actually plays and competes in football. Let's be honest, he was completely goaded into taking that ku offer.

He's a 4 Star Talent with a 2 cent attitude and brain

Don't give a ****. We aren't winning shit anyway.

ROFL

He's a sign and place.

Ahhh, I see. Sounds like a Bill Snyder move to manipulate roster and recruiting levels.

As I said, good luck to him.

Funny, MU had always said they can't compete with KU because of academic standards they have

C'mon, bro. Don't kick us when we're down.

Not kicking you. Just curious. :evil:

Kansas has what...8 JUCO kids in this recruiting class alone?

and Kansas State has 1.:LOL:

Steven Sims is dubstep nation

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ebr_4P-CSyY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Field is getting new carpet too...

Is he related to James Sims?

http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/...psajyxkq9b.png

I don't think so. James was from Dallas.

Feelin it

What are they doing now?

Tagging now so that I can unsubscribe later.

Couldn't help it

45 is on the staff now.

Players that did what Missouri never could.

Thanks for reminding us.

One of the better trios of LBers the Big 12 has known.

What is that..take a really gay picture..if that is the case Missouri sees your picture and raises you a really gay video on draft night..not a fight you want to take on :thumb:

Keep your draft pics, i like that trophy.

Spring practice started yesterday. Even some new recruits showed up...

Remarkably, she'd be as good as any other ku football player on your squad......

And probably start for EMAW basketball...

Dude, yes.

At least her shirt doesn't say "I <3 BJ". That's a step in the right direction.

ku's football stadium is hideous.

You're kidding right?

Wait. What? She's not on the squad? Could have fooled me.

No.

I don't think anyone at Kansas is concerned with your opinion.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...terStadium.jpg

Are we talking about stadium's or fan support? Amon G Carter kicks the crap out of Memorial Stadium

Yeah our stadium is not that good guise

LMAO Now you're trying to post old pictures of our stadium and act like it looks like that now?

Doesn't matter. TCU kicks the crap out of ku on both.

This photo goes a long way explaining why the Wall Street Journal pegs the value of their football program on par with KUs.
