The University of Kansas’ private jet flew west on Tuesday afternoon, landing in Colorado as KU athletic director Jeff Long continued his search for the Jayhawks’ next football coach.
KU’s N414KU, which took off just after 3 p.m. Tuesday from Lawrence Municipal Airport, landed about an hour later in Colorado Springs, Colo., a source confirmed to The Star. It’s at least possible that Long could have talked to Los Angeles Rams senior offensive assistant Jedd Fisch or Air Force coach Troy Calhoun.
Long returned to the Lawrence airport shortly after 10 p.m. on the KU plane, exiting with one other passenger.
