***** 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."

You're claiming titles from the 30's, so it doesn't really matter.

The whole damn point is that you claiming TCU has a college football national championship is a complete and utter joke. However, I'll let you keep boasting about that women's nub-licking rifle shooting national championship

It's not a joke.

You're just jealous because ku has iowa state levels of fail when it comes to the football field.

Oh man, you've got me there. Incredibly jealous. I don't think anyone is stating that you haven't had a good program since Patterson took over. The 60's through mid-90's sure were a bit rough for you though.

Don't care. I went to TCU starting in '99.

Check out this game from TCU's "championship year"

Tulane Stadium

LSU 0 2 0 0 - 2

SCORING SUMMARY
LSU: Safety: Incomplete pass by Sammy Baugh in own end zone (2nd).
TCU: Taldon Manton 36-yard field goal (2nd).

So you're saying you are a product of reincarnation since you also celebrated the National Championship in 1938? Or were you a non-traditional student in 1999?

It's ok to be jealous.

Don't be mad because my school has actually done something in football while ku languishes away at the bottom like iowa state.

[KC native]

Enough of focusing on superior programs though, are you guys going to win a conference game this year? (yes, I know you beat iowa state last year. That's not really a win though).

I'm not mad at all. I've had KU season tickets since 2000 and will continue to support them.

Did you know that TCU has the same number of BCS Bowl victories as KU? I'll bet you didn't.

Says the guy claiming a 1938 National Championship over Carnegie Tech

[Ceej]

Clinging onto "championships" from the 19 ****ing 30s.
