REUNION: Andy Kotelnicki RETURNS to Kansas Football as Associate Head Coach - Will He Call Plays?

Andy Kotelnicki makes a shocking return to Lawrence as Kansas Jayhawks’ associate head coach, reigniting hopes for an explosive offense. Can his reunion with Lance Leipold, Jim Zebrowski, and Matt Lubick restore KU’s momentum after recent transfer portal setbacks?

Derek Johnson examines the ramifications of Kotelnicki’s comeback, questioning whether he’ll reclaim play-calling duties or take on a new role. The conversation spotlights the offensive staff shakeup, the impact on Mason Fairchild and Jared Casey, and tight end/line coach dynamics. Portal losses like Trey Lathan, Tyler Mercer, and Joseph Sipp spark debate about Kansas’ development strategy and defensive needs. Get an inside look at KU’s transfer targets, including Landyn Watson and DJ Jackson Jr., plus what Kotelnicki’s hiring means for the Jayhawks’ Big 12 championship aspirations. Will this high-profile move be the catalyst Kansas football needs?
