David Beaty went back on tradition.
The Kansas coach, for years, has taken his daughter Alexa to school each morning. After increasing his football duties the last few weeks, though, he stopped taking her on Mondays and Tuesdays.
“All I did was create more junk,” Beaty said. “That’s not going to happen again.”
It’s a small detail that’s part of a larger point.
After some self-evaluation, Beaty said Tuesday that he had decided to reduce his own responsibilities with KU’s football team. In his second year, Beaty is serving as head coach, offensive coordinator, quarterbacks coach and last week announced he would be supervising kick and punt returners.
