Kansas football is set to make their fifth football head coaching hire in the past 12 years. While many names are being considered, there is one name that I believe stands above the rest: Kevin Kane.
Kane is currently the assistant head coach and outside linebackers coach at the University of Illinois. He joined them just two months ago in January 2021 under Bret Bielema – a former Jeff Long hire at Arkansas.
