Kansas coach David Beaty said Tuesday he remains committed to defensive coordinator Clint Bowen, even through a disappointing start to the season.
“My faith level (in him) is as high as it’s ever been,” Beaty said during his weekly press conference. “I think he’s one of the finest around. He really is.”
Fan criticism of Bowen — a former player who’s been with the staff for 20 years and defensive coordinator for six — has increased each week as the Jayhawks have floundered on that end. KU not only ranks in the bottom 10 nationally in yards per play allowed, it’s also one of only three Power Five schools in the bottom 10 for scoring defense.
