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

[Mr_Tomahawk]

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."

Once he realized how stupid your head coach was he bolted. At least that's what's the Iowa state reporter said. I have to be honest, I was only have listening. No one cares about Iowa state.

You are the most delusional troll ever.

you just wait. 2-3 more Head football coaches, and we'll win another league game.

That's right, let the fear control you.

In order to save some time in retyping this, I'm just going to quote myself from the last time you said something stupid.

Edit: Who am I kidding, the room wouldn't have to be locked. I'd be surprised if you could figure out how to turn a door handle.

Mizzouche losing to Kent + Vandy, may go 1-7 in league. KSU throttled 55-0 at home to OU, now loses to Tex. season over. Corn Nubbers can't beat Northwestern at home, Iowa State gives up 800 yards.



No wonder they won't talk about any of it.

No where until there's another conference that can add more money.

Thanks to KU's third tier media deal there's simply no reason to go anywhere at this time.

It's nice to have options.

I'm not sure it would be wherever they wanted. Geography, academics and social quality of life make the Big 10 the best match for Kansas.

This map is generally the most agreed upon scenario.

So Boston College and Wake Forest make the cut, but Iowa State and Kansas State don't? That makes sense.

Is it that hard to think about? Iowa st isn't even a real athletic program, I can't believe you get players coming.

It's not at all hard to think about.

It's not like ISU and KSU will stop playing football, it will just be outside one of the top 4 conferences.

The Basketball Playoffs will never change which is great being that practically any school in the country can compete for a national championship.

Football just isn't sustainable in smaller states like Kansas and Iowa. I actually believe a school like North Dakota State might have a better shot at being in the top 64 after it's all said and done. It could take decades but don't count it out.

If it goes to 4 super conferences, say hello to a 16 game tournament with only P4 teams. No way do you share that pie if you're the big boys.
