DALLAS
David Beaty has neither the time nor inclination to go through all the reasons he might fail. The new Kansas football coach is something like a human pep talk, voice always raised and firm, tone never anything but convinced.
Maybe this is all exaggerated a bit. Maybe he’s trying to convince you. Maybe he’s trying to convince recruits or their parents or their coaches. He’s an optimistic guy by nature — he jokes that his wife’s beauty is proof of the power of his positivity — but maybe he’s trying to convince himself.
Whatever the reason, Beaty has a lot of convincing to do here.
