KU ***** OFFICIAL 2015 KANSAS FOOTBALL THREAD ***** - Page 2

Mr_Tomahawk · 08:15 AM

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."

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

Quote:

Kansas head coach David Beaty hired Gary Hyman as the Jayhawks’ special teams coordinator and tight ends coach in January 2015. Hyman arrived in Lawrence after spending the 2014 season at Texas A&M where he served as the quality control coach for special teams.

Quote:

Kenny Perry joined Kansas head coach David Beaty’s staff as the co-defensive coordinator and cornerbacks coach in January 2015. Perry came to KU after spending the previous two years at TCU, including the 2014 campaign as the cornerbacks coach.

Prior to his time at TCU, Perry served seven seasons (2006-12) as head football coach at Bowie High School in Arlington, Texas. Before his time at Bowie, Perry was also head coach at Haltom High School (2004-05) and Arlington Sam Houston (2000-03).

A three-time District Coach of the Year, Perry was the 2007 Dallas Morning News Coach of the Year. He was also a six-time selection as the Dallas Cowboys Coach of the Week. In 2010, Perry was selected to the Board of Directors for the Texas High School Coaches Association. He has also been the director of the North Texas High School Football Association.

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
