Since 2021
Won six D-III national titles at Wisconsin-Whitewater before three straight winning seasons at Buffalo, then took over a Kansas program that hadn't had a winning season since 2008. Delivered the Jayhawks' first bowl trip in 15 years (2022) and a 9-4 season in 2023, earning a raise to one of the Big 12's highest-paid coaches — but has now missed a bowl in back-to-back seasons since.
