***** 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."

Ah, man. Why do these KU players end up on the Chiefs' division rivals? Chris Harris, Steven Johnson, and Aqib Talib at Denver. Darryl Stuckey at San Diego. Now Ben Heeney and Dexter MacDonald at Oakland.

That would actually mean something if we didn't return almost our entire offense and most of our defense.

Lol @ another beaker fan failure.

So you're saying you'll be even worse next year. Perfect.

Embarrassing to have a shitty B12 team have more drafted players than "NFL U."

[Bambi]

Jacorey torn his ACL Saturday. He's out for the season in Philly. Tough break

Apparently, the concept of players not trying to get out the door as fast as possible is strange to ku fans.

TCU had a young team last year so they brought back almost the entire team. ku just sucks.

How's the QB battle going? Is Michael Cummings going to be back? Last I heard he screwed up his knee and had to have surgery.

Why are you here? No one cares about TCU in the KC area. Kansas looks at you lower than shit we scrape off our shoes.

I know this hurts you but you're not making it any better by posting in this thread.

Go back to the Re-Alignment thread so I can crush you in one place.

@ the fact that you think anyone gives a shit what a shitty program like ku thinks.

Double @ the fact that you think you crush anyone in any argument.

Triple @ the lying townie that didn't even go to ku.

[Prison Bitch]

Nobody in the entire region cares about TCU, Nitwit. Nobody in the nation does either. Last December should've made that plainly apparent even to dipshits.
