KU ***** OFFICIAL 2015 KANSAS FOOTBALL THREAD ***** - Page 30

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."

And what sucks is I had to pass up the Canton trip as I was Already booked for another trip.

They went to Bettis private party and met him in person. Bettis moved through the crowd quickly to get to the person we flew up there. Cried when he hugged him. Had no idea they were that close.

Still pisses me off that j could of went.

Neat. I think Bettis is a decent dude IRL.

Wilson Was trying to make the team.... he worked out with the program in the spring and part of the summer, but never made it.

Despite an enormous amount of fuss made about a workout video posted to the Instagram account of KU student DeVonte Wilson, the Jayhawks do not have a new running back on the roster.

Wilson’s videos, which show him running through a series of impressive workouts that display his raw athleticism and strength, went viral Tuesday and caused confusion over his athletic status.

However, Beaty confirmed Wednesday that Wilson, who sources said explored the idea of walking on in the spring, is not a part of the KU program and there are no plans to add him to the roster.

Complete workout warrior, that couldn't play football for the life of him.

It's tougher to get into TCU than ku. Plus, our fans actually go to our sporting events in multiple sports.

You're right that we're not your concern. We win conference championships in sports that matter. You guys just suck.

You pay apparel companies to outfit your sports teams.

I can't think of anything more pathetic.

TCU is a try-hard

**Lzen** · 09-01-2015, 08:49 AM

Going to the season opener on Saturday. I don't expect much but hope to see improvement in the coaching. KU lost a several good players on that defense. Heck, I think I read the other day that they only have 4 starters (offense and defense) returning from last year. In a way that's good but we lost a lot of experience. Beaty is starting from the ground up.

Lol at KCnutbag for thinking that hoops isn't a sport that matters.

Because we have one of the smallest stadiums in the conference.

TCU used 99.4% of its capacity for all of the home games. Oklahoma, Kstate, and Baylor were the only ones higher.

No one cares about college basketball (except ku fans who have nothing else to cheer for). The era of the one and done has made it irrelevant.

Again, you have no clue. College football may be number 1 in ratings and money brought in, but college hoops is definitely second place. Also, you're not the first person to claim that KU fans only care about hoops. In the Mangino years, I posted pics of the filled stadium the first game of the season. Same thing early in Gill's and Weis' tenures. KU fans will support the football program but we won't support ineptitude.

Prison Bitch · 09-01-2015, 09:14 AM

TCU fans show up for their teams:

Football: 9th of 10
Basketball: 10th of 10
Women's basketball: 10th of 10

No wonder they have to pay Nike for gear.
