KU ***** OFFICIAL 2015 KANSAS FOOTBALL THREAD ***** - Page 41

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."

Who is going to start on Saturday? It seems like Cozart had the better performance, but Willis may be a bigger part of the future. Are they going to throw him into the fire against Baylor?

Cozart generally moves the ball better but that's simply because he's older and has more experience. He's "hurt" with a shoulder and from what I read he won't be available Saturday.

Willis has a real arm and he showed it with his limited time on Saturday. A couple of his nice throws are shown in this video

Neither of which Cozart is capable of making imo.

That's what you're going off of? Two passes from a QB the defense wasn't prepared for? Most QB's look good in that situation.

Your quarterbacks threw great balls too.

Is Fatgino still your OC? This picks were bad. I'd like to think the DBs made a good play but those were bad balls. I figured the O would roll quite a bit harder than that.

So this has to be the historically worst KU football team in history, right?

Yeah, but did you see those two balls that Willis threw against............nobody?

j/k. I actually think Willis is going to be a good B12 QB. How good depends upon Beaty's ability to recruit an OL to run his system.

RustShack · 10-06-2015, 10:26 AM

I seem to remember Kansas losing. Which doesn't seem to add up with you claiming to have such a great QB.

That would really be hilarious.

KU actually had a shot to beat TCU last year, and quite frankly should have beat them. I have no idea how that happened.

TCU was looking towards the playoffs. KU had no business being in that game.

UT / KU battle of the reeruns...

If KU somehow wins, I know it will never happen, but if it did KCNatives meltdown/pile on would be way better than the win.
