The KU Rayhawks are NOT going through a rough patch. They make Raytown, Missouri proud!

[meow meow]

Glad they didn't come after Andre Coleman.

[KCFDcat]

did they make a hire?

David Beaty, aTm wr coach.

[ChiComCat]

did they make a hire?

A bunch of them think so.  They also think they hired Warinner yesterday and Harbaugh years ago.  They have no clue

[kso_FAN]

did they make a hire?

Twitter is saying Beatty.

[michigancat]

Who is Beatty

Bio from the aTm website. From this hire its pretty clear to see Zenger is still 100% emaw.

This is NOT underwhelming. This is a great hire.

Wait until you hear the guy. He's detailed, focused, great with people. He's a players coach but a BIG TIME HARD@$$.

You'll likely also like the staff he assembles.

If I'm being completely honest, I was really nervous about life after snyder/bowen/weis. Feel much, much better now.

Word out of Lawrence is it is indeed Beaty.

Old article from his year in the program:http://m.kusports.com/news/2011/aug/26/kansas-football-assistant-david-beaty-sells-ku-ut-/?templates=mobile

What kind of staff does a wr coach assemble?  Bunch of neeks and waterboys? 

[420seriouscat69]

  OMG! They should have just hired Bowen. 

[KITNfury]

I mean, the only people he bossed around this year were like 10 players and maybe a ga coach or two, but now he's been handed the keys to a power conference team.

Told Warineer turned it down late last night. He wanted to assemble his entire staff but Dr Z wanted bowen to stay on as DC. He has also been promised the play calling responsibilities next year under Urban Meyer. Would not be surprised if he gets a better job down the road.

To all of those that think we can do better:

1. Have you seen Memorial Stadium?
2. Would you want to come to work for a short-timer like Zenger (pretty sure that's his name ... the AD anyway)?
3. Have you seen the number of players returning and how many seniors are leaving?

Anyone with a pulse of a chance of getting a legit job in the next year or two would seriously have to think twice about taking a job here.

[WildcatNkilt]

Wow this will be a blow to Bowan's self-esteem and love for everything KU.

[michigancat]

IN all honesty, the fact that I haven't heard of this guy makes me think he's a better hire than I expected. Sounds like he's a good recruiter, which is all that matters.

[Tobias]

if the search is already over, i feel like we got shortchanged

[kso_FAN]

The KU people seem to have a hope that they retain Bowen as DC. He'd have to REALLY love KU to stay now IMO.

[Bookcat]

No way. Their WR coach? Why...because Mangino could boss him around?

From 2011"
"Here’s how the pattern has gone: Beaty sells Sims on coming to play football for his team. Sims buys what he’s selling, attends the school, and by the time he gets there, Beaty is working for Rice University."


LOL

KU fans remind us every year that they out recruit us. 

[Cartierfor3]

Its impossible to know if this is a good hire since I've never heard of this person.
