LAWRENCE — Ryan Cantrell knows he’s been hired this year to be more than Kansas' assistant director of football operations.
He is here to be a belief coach, as well.
If anyone knows the odds stacked against KU — and that those obstacles can be overcome — it’s Cantrell, who played center from 2005-08 and was part of the Jayhawks’ magical run to the Orange Bowl in 2008.
Now, after spending the last four seasons at Rice with new KU offensive coordinator John Reagan, Cantrell has returned, in part, to try to infuse some positive thinking back into the program.
