KU ***** OFFICIAL 2015 KANSAS FOOTBALL THREAD ***** - Page 22

Mr_Tomahawk · 08:15 AM

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."

It's just humorous that experts on collegiate properties deem TCU to be essentially worthless.

Is that why Nike comes up with new uniforms for us on an annual basis?

TCU brand is so cheap, it's not even sold. It's traded out in barter.

I don't blame Nike for trying anything possible to get the public to pay attention to your school.

So far... it hasn't worked.

Gwangju, South Korea — Eleven months ago, former Kansas University football standout Kerry Meier traveled to Korea to teach English to Korean students.

He was chasing a dream. His brother’s dream.

Meier’s older brother, Dylan, died in 2010 at the age of 26 after falling from a cliff while hiking with his family in Arkansas. Later that year, Dylan Meier, a former Kansas State quarterback, was set to begin teaching English near Seoul, Korea.

Holy shit! I didn't know Dylan Meier died by falling off a cliff. That's horrible.

Does anyone know how good is South Dakota State? Tickets are cheap. I don't mean to be a bandwagon fan but I don't want to waste my time going to a game if they're just gonna get whooped. Is this the same team that beat KSU a year or two ago?

KC native · 07-13-2015, 12:11 PM

So, how many walk ons are you guys going to give scholarships so you can actually recruit going forward?

That was North Dakota State. SDSU is terrible. They aren't whipping anyone. It should be a competitive game.
