KU Kansas fires Charlie Weis - Page 8

thabear04 · 09-28-2014, 08:45 AM

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.

Make Bill Self coach the football team. The state of Kansas is already broke, can't afford another contract for awhile.

I'm sure there's an available busboy at the Free State with a little extra time?

KU had a winning program but the players were upset that that coach asked them to work hard and penalized them if they didn't. So if they can find a winning coach who doesn't ask them to work hard they should be successful.
