It took twelve months but give University of Kansas Chancellor Doug Girod credit for taking action on Monday to fire Athletic Director Sheahon Zenger. Considering the lengthy message sent to the campus community, Girod probably had this in the works for a few weeks. It also appears the chancellor has everything in place to find the ideal candidate to lead the Jayhawk Athletics.
It’s not easy to make staff changes. As a matter of fact, this is a difficult change because Zenger did so many good things over the past 8-years. Most will agree the university athletic facilities needed a lot of attention when Zenger took over in the Athletic program.
