Kansas Hires Charlie Weis as Head Coach

The University of Kansas Jayhawks have hired Charlie Weis as their head football coach after firing Turner Gill in late November. To say that Kansas has been bad is an understatement. At the end of the regular season for 2011, Kansas is the worst team in the football bowl subdivision, and has nearly the worst offense (#116) and the worst defense (#118). Hence Gill is out and now Weis is in, but the story is not much better. The University of Florida's overall offensive productivity for the entire 2011 regular (non-bowl) season was #92 in the nation. That's right, Florida was near the bottom quartile of all FBS schools in terms of overall offensive production; which is better than under Gill, but given this past season's track record, don't expect too much from Kansas any time soon. Weis may fare better in the "Big 12", with overall easier defenses (I think). I will have to look into this after the bowl season.
