Rob Likens is Kansas’ fourth offensive coordinator in less than 21 months, the latest football man tasked with breathing life into an offense that has been near comatose for the last three years. A former Cal assistant, Likens was prepped for the job while working under Air Raid disciples Sonny Dykes and Tony Franklin at Louisiana Tech and Cal. In simple terms, he will attempt to succeed where his predecessors could not: The scoreboard.
For two seasons, Charlie Weis served as his own offensive coordinator and play-caller. The results were disastrous. The passing game was anemic.
