Charlie Weis was fired as Kansas' football coach, the team announced Sunday.

Clint Bowen will be the interim head coach, according to athletic director Sheahon Zenger.

"I normally do not favor changing coaches mid-season," Zenger said in a release. "But I believe we have talented coaches and players in this program, and I think this decision gives our players the best chance to begin making progress right away.

"I appreciate what Coach Weis did with several facets of our football program. But we have not made the on-the-field progress we believe we should. I believe new leadership gives our coaches and players the best chance to make a fresh start."

Weis was in the third year of a five-year deal.

Kansas, 2-2 on the season, lost their most recent game on Saturday, a 23-0 shutout to Texas.
