Assistant football coach resigns

Monday, April 30, 2007

Running backs coach Earle Mosley has resigned due to health reasons, coach Mark Mangino announced Friday. The position will be filled by Louie Matsakis, who served as a scout, statistical analyst and director of quality control for Kansas in 2004 and 2005.

Along with coaching the running backs, Matsakis will coordinate Kansas’ special teams.

He has experience as a special teams coordinator at Texas State University-San Marcos and Capital University in Bexely, Ohio. He has also worked as a special teams intern at Texas Tech. Matsakis has never worked as a running backs coach at the collegiate level.

Mosley, who helped with recruiting, coached at Kansas for two years. His most notable accomplishment during his tenure was coaching 2006 Big 12 Conference rushing leader Jon Cornish.
