The Kansas Jayhawks football team achieved a significant turnaround, finishing 9-4 and winning the Guaranteed Rate Bowl. This marks their first nine-win season since 2007. Coach Lance Leipold's leadership has been instrumental in the team's success, with praise for the program's improvement under his guidance. The team's fans and athletic department are celebrating the remarkable accomplishment, with high hopes for the future. The Miami Hurricanes' AD, Dan Radakovich, expressed interest in Florida State's potential departure from the ACC, while also discussing the Hurricanes' planned football operations center.
Kansas and Kansas State both finish with 9-win seasons for only the second time in history. The first and only other time the Jayhawks and Wildcats achieved that feat they both finished 10-2 in 1995 as members of the Big 8. #EMAW #Jayhawks

With win over UNLV in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl, @CoachLeipold has officially raised Kansas football from the dead. Jayhawks were 9-60 in the six seasons before the Jefferson (WI) native arrived in Lawrence, including 0-9 in 2020. Under Leipold, Kansas has gone 2-10, 6-7 and 9-4. https://t.co/RVMzvDOzrY
Jayhawks finish 9-4. Nine victories for the first time since the 2007 season (12-1) under Mark Mangino. Back-to-back bowl appearances for the first time since 2007 and '08. KU won a combined nine games in the six seasons before Leipold and staff arrived. https://t.co/ISWfE68bVI
So proud of our team tonight. Thank you Jayhawk Nation for your support this week in Phoenix and all season long! Rock Chalk! 🔴🔵 https://t.co/FGBUrTTbeH https://t.co/A6QONGBlXv
A whole lot of momentum around this athletic department right now. Will be intriguing to follow the rest of the way through the spring. #kufball https://t.co/VjRcUVvBgv
9 wins, Bowl Champs, and we’re just getting started around here 📈 Goodnight Jayhawks and Rock Chalk! https://t.co/BIj1utcxQN
It says everything you need to know about how good Lance Leipold is that he just took *Kansas* to a 9-win season — without the preseason Big 12 player of the year! — and we’re all just nodding our heads in approval about it, as if it’s expected at this point under him. https://t.co/FLCDnVyGGP
In Year 1, Lance Leipold told me they were hoping to keep games close going into halftime to give Kansas players more confidence. In Year 3, Kansas won 9 games. One of the greatest turnarounds I’ve ever seen. And 2024 could be even better.
Amazing what @CoachLeipold and his staff have done to turn this program around. Great accomplishment and can't wait for what is ahead. Thanks Jayhawk nation for representing in the desert 🌵Rock Chalk! 🔴🔵 https://t.co/ixrSVm2w5n
Kansas and UNLV went a combined 0-15 just 3 seasons ago. Incredible turnaround for both teams, who finish 2023 with 9 wins.
