LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – David Beaty was introduced as Kansas’s third coach in the past five years Monday, promising to rebuild the long-stagnant program through “hard work and earning everything.”

Beaty was hired Friday to replace Charlie Weis, who was fired four games into his third season on the job. Beaty wasted no time in announcing that Clint Bowen, who had been serving as interim coach, would remain on his staff as defensive coordinator.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Beaty said he would spend the next week working simultaneously on filling out his staff and hitting the recruiting trail. Coaches only have until Sunday before the NCAA begins a “dead period” in recruiting.

Beaty takes over a program that won just three games last season.
