KU offensive coordinator Rob Likens taking 'walk-around' role in stride

LAWRENCE — When he first got the news, Rob Likens was disappointed.

“I’m only human,” he said.

The Kansas football offensive coordinator will not call plays going forward for the Jayhawks, news coach David Beaty revealed following the team’s first spring practice on March 6.

Likens, entering his second season in Lawrence, has assumed a walk-around role, assisting any unit — be it on offense or defense — in need of a hand

Likens met with the media Wednesday for the first time since the switch and admitted the transition was a tough pill to swallow at first.
