FootballScoop reports D.J. Eliot will join Les Miles’ Kansas staff as the Jayhawks’ defensive coordinator. Eliot spent the previous two years calling Colorado’s defense after a four-year stint as Mark Stoops’ defensive coordinator at Kentucky.
“Wow,” was my first thought upon hearing the news. My second thought was, “How is the world is that going to work?” Miles is a notoriously brash, albeit charismatic defensive-minded head coach, while Eliot plays his cards close to the vest, on and off the field. To say there will be a clash of personalities in Kansas is an understatement.
I don’t know how it’s going to work out in Lawrence.
