KU ***** OFFICIAL 2015 KANSAS FOOTBALL THREAD ***** - Page 59

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."

Oh and last time he was an OC he had the #9 passing offense. But yeah, nice try.

So who will be your head coach next season?

So many phantom wins.

Paul Rhoads probably lol.

Unless he doesn't win a game the rest of the year, then who knows. There's some winnable games left though. Dropped the ball against Iowa and Toledo we coulda/shoulda won... Both are still undefeated.

I personally wouldn't be mad if they brought in Bo Pelini or Mike Leach though.

**Saul Good** · 10-28-2015, 02:39 PM

If Rowdy Boy Rhodes is back next year, it's because ISU doesn't have the cash to buy him out. (I believe he's owed something like $4.5 million within 60 days if he's fired). On balance, ISU has been the second worst team in the conference during his time there, and they're only getting worse. I think you can get a decent coach. You've been beyond patient with Rowdy Boy.

Yeah it would be a big buyout with his 20 year deal he got a few years ago, but we are saving a lot with Prohm over Fred, and if the donors want CPR gone they would pay it... The two biggest donors who just paid for the SEZ love him though.

This is what happens when you let donors call the shots...Prohm and Rowdy lead your teams. Sounds like a certain basketball program that I follow...

RustShack · 10-28-2015, 03:00 PM

I have a feeling Sturdy will do well to end the season at OC and get the staff a last year though. There's a lot of young talent at the moment.

20 year deal? That can't be serious. That's an exaggeration right.

Talent?

The last ranked team in recruiting in the conference since 2009 has been either Iowa State or Kansas State.

Most recently Iowa State is last three years in a row.

Dude, stop trolling the ISU fan. I come here to read (and occasionally post) about KU football.

At least our coach was good enough to be in the NBA unlike Bill.

You really don't get it. Why would Self go to the NBA when he has it made at Kansas? Kansas hoops IS a dream job.

And yeah, I know I just scolded bambi for engaging Rusty but I just couldn't let this moronic comment go.

Lanning, Warren, Thomas, Lazard. Montgomery, Bundrage, Wesley.

Yeah, there's more than enough talent for an OC.

Donors were willing to match his deal with the Bulls, but the NBA is Fred's dream. Some guys like college, some like Pro, some like other sports or no sports at all. Great for Bill being a college guy.

Oh and someone said no one would want to come to Iowa State, well Washington States former HC who was with the 49ers during their SB run is VOLUNTEERING.
