Football has been felling athletic directors at Kansas as far back as Phog Allen | The Kansas City Star

The next University of Kansas athletic director has to get football right …

… is the same thought that has accompanied every athletic boss search in school history.

Don’t believe me?

Kansas was so unhappy with the direction of football in the 1937 that the university removed the athletic director and abolished the position for a few months. That AD? Phog Allen. From a letter to the school newspaper: “To get Kansas of the fog, you’ve got to get the Phog out of Kansas.”
