David Beaty has a colossal task at hand as he attempts to resurrect Kansas' football program from the depths of despair.

The tall task has already claimed two head coaches this decade, Turner Gill and Charlie Weis, who recorded meager win percentages of .208 and .185, respectively, while at Kansas.

However, Beaty is determined to be the guy who turns things around at Kansas for good, and he has a current success story across the conference to inspire him.

Art Briles has transformed Baylor from a program that struggled to gain traction in the Big 12 to one that's been a contender for the national championship in back-to-back seasons.
