KU ***** OFFICIAL 2015 KANSAS FOOTBALL THREAD ***** - Page 64

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."

Seems to still be declining.

He has 64 scholarship players.

Vince Lombardi himself couldn't help with the team as currently constructed.

You don't let anyone go after this season. Simply aren't the numbers to make a true evaluation.

Bowen's defense beat this same West Virginia team two seasons ago.

Did Bowen get canned?

Sully · 01-06-2016, 02:54 PM

Looks like Kane is gone. That sucks. i really like the guy, as I mentioned earlier (I don't know if it was this thread or a previous one). I felt like he was going to be a key part if your guys were gonna turn this thing around. Got the DC gig at Northern Illinois.

Well, losing to advancements is a good thing. Hopefuly, Beatty can find a good, young coach with which to replace him.

BTW, I think we need a new 2016 Kansas Football thread.

Bambi · 01-13-2016, 10:49 AM

Bledsoe has narrowed his choice to KU or OU.

**Lzen** · 01-15-2016, 09:06 AM

Today's Jayhawk Trivia:

The Outland Trophy - presented to college football's best interior lineman - is named after former Kansas player and coach John Outland.

**Lzen** · 01-15-2016, 09:07 AM

So is someone gonna start a 2016 Kansas football thread?

Get on it!

Sully · 01-16-2016, 10:05 AM

Ok guys!

Some info I just heard in Bledsoe from some people who would know.

kU has a legit shot. Here's why. Every other school believes he is eventually going to be a 3, and plan to move him there. kU will let him call his shot, and play DE, where he really wants to stay, so they are legit in the running.

Never understood why fringe star players like Bledsoe would choose to go sit on the sideline at a school like OU instead or getting to showcase your talent from day 1 at a place like KU.

FWIW Matt Scott officially changed his prediction for Bledsoe on Thursday to KU.

Prison Bitch · 01-16-2016, 12:36 PM

You could use that logic for KU basketball
