The 2009 Kansas Jayhawks football team (variously "Kansas", "KU", or the "Jayhawks") will represent the University of Kansas in the college football season of 2009-2010. The Jayhawks will play their home games at University of Kansas Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kansas.
Pre-season
Coaching changes
Less than a month after being promoted to defensive coordinator at Louisville Bill Miller resigned and joined the Jayhawks as co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, replacing previous linebackers coach Steve Tovar.[1]
Tom Sims replaced Joe Bob Clements, who left for Kansas State, as defensive line coach. Sims spent the last four seasons with Illinois.[2] A few weeks earlier, Kerry Locklin of Fresno State accepted the defensive line coaching job, but subsequently accepted a job with the NFL's New York Jets and Sims was hired instead.
Recruiting
Following the 2009 signing day, the Jayhawks recruiting class was ranked 31st by Rivals and 50 by Scout. Expand the list below to see the full class.
