FRISCO, Texas — It took a few years, but David Beaty finally got his man.
Just don’t blame the Kansas football coach for lack of trying the first time around.
Beaty and the Jayhawks hired offensive coordinator Doug Meacham this offseason, taking him from TCU, where Meacham’s offenses averaged 519.7 yards per game over his three seasons with the Horned Frogs.
Hearing Beaty describe the hiring during his Big 12 football media days news conference Monday at Ford Center, the KU coach noted he was practically beating down Meacham’s door to accept a role on his coaching staff when Beaty was hired in December 2014.
