KU football shakes up staff, Beaty dismisses two assistant coaches

The Kansas football team will be bringing in new coaches while attempting to improve on offensive line and in special teams next season.

Kansas coach David Beaty announced Friday that offensive line coach Zach Yenser and special-teams coordinator Joe DeForest had been let go. Yenser had been with KU three seasons, while DeForest was in Lawrence for two.

Beaty also announced an addition to his staff: Justin Johnson, who previously was an offensive analyst for the team, has been promoted to full-time assistant coach. He will work on the offensive side of the ball, though no role has been specifically set.
