***** 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."

Can we take out the TCU trash. Last thing I want to see is that there are new posts in this thread and then taking a peak and only seeing troll garbage.

When real news happens or football starts, I'll leave you guys alone. Chill out until then.

Iowa States coaches sound pretty excited/encouraged this year. Wasn't the case at all last spring.

Pretty exciting year. First time in awhile no staff overturn. We return a LOT of guys who played for the first time last year. Even more guys got playing time because we had an insane amount of injuries. Best RB we've had in a long time, and he's a freshman. One of the top WR corps in the Big12. Bowled in South Endzone finally.

Not winning the Big12, but it will be a good Iowa State team.

Sam Richardson. Believe it or not one of the best returning QB's in the Big12. Just need the OL to play better than it has. And stay healthy. We had I think 9 different starting OL combinations last year because of injury.

Top returning QBs according to "The Big Lead"

1. Trevone Boykin [TCU]
2. Trevor Knight [Oklahoma]
3. Michael Cummings [Kansas]
4. Tyrone Swoopes [Texas]

. Cummings is not 3. If Richardson is back, I'd take him. Hell the Baylor backup probably put up more yards and scored than Cummings.

Don't get me wrong. I like the kid. He's tough as an old boot, but he doesn't have it unless he's gotten ALOT better in the offseason and the WR and OL suddenly aren't an embarrassment.

This is just their list. The competition is wide open.

It's night and day compared to the Weis disaster.
