It’s official: David Beaty is out as the head coach of Kansas football, per a release from Kansas Athletics.
“After a thorough evaluation of the program, I believe that new leadership is necessary for our football team to move forward and compete at the highest level of the Big 12 Conference. I know that Coach Beaty cares deeply about his players, and I respect that. The student-athletes on this team have continued to play hard – and I am confident they will do that for the rest of the season.”
It wasn’t only Beaty’s 6-39 record in three-plus years at KU that saw the Jayhawks go just 2-31 in conference play, although let’s be honest, that the biggest factor here.
