Former Dartmouth assistant Calvin Thibodeaux gets a mention in the official announcement of new head coach David Beaty's staff at Kansas. From a release (LINK):Thibodeaux joins the Kansas staff tasked with coaching the same position he held for the previous three seasons at the University of Tulsa. While at TU, Thibodeaux helped guide the team to an 11-win season and a Liberty Bowl victory in 2012. Prior to his time with the Golden Hurricane, Thibodeaux coached in the same capacity at Dartmouth College where the Big Green posted their first winning season in Ivy League play in seven seasons.
"Calvin is a tireless recruiter and a well-respected member of the defensive line coaching community," Beaty said. "His players exhibit responsibility, toughness and passion and we are looking forward to him bringing those elements to KU. His ability as a coach is only surpassed by his upstanding character and integrity as a man."
