Charlie Weis Relieved of Coaching Duties at Kansas
The Kansas Jayhawks have made an in-season coaching change, firing Charlie Weis after an embarrassing 23-0 loss to Texas on Saturday. Weis compiled a 6-22 record as the head coach in Lawrence, going only 1-18 in Big 12 games during his tenure.

Defensive Coordinator Clint Bowen will serve as the interim head coach for the rest of the season. A national search for a full-time replacement is expected to begin immediately. Kansas Athletic Director Dr. Sheahon Zengler described the reasoning behind the decision succinctly.
“I think this decision gives our players the best chance to begin making progress right away,” #KU AD Dr. Sheahon Zenger said. #kufball — JayhawkSlant (@JayhawkSlant) September 28, 2014
