David Beaty said he wants to run an offense with the air raid philosophy. Well, he's building a staff to do just that. On Monday news broke Cal passing game coordinator Rob Likens was joining the Kansas staff as the offensive coordinator.

Now it appears another key member of the Cal coaching staff is heading to Lawrence.

Sources have told Jayhawk Slant Cal offensive line Zach Yenser will join the Jayhawks as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator.

The past two seasons while Yenser was coaching the offensive line at Cal he helped them produce the second best scoring offense in the Pac 12 behind Oregon. Cal also finished top 10 in the nation in passing offense.

In 2013 the Cal offense he took over a unit that only had two returning starters. The offense in 2013 set school records for passing yards, completions, and total plays. They finished 11th in the country in total offense.

Yenser got his start learning the air raid under Sonny Dykes at Louisiana Tech in 2010. He was also a consultant on the offensive line for Tony Franklin at Troy and Auburn before arriving at Louisiana Tech.

In Yenser's three years at Louisiana Tech he helped produce four all-conference linemen. The 2012 offense led the nation is scoring offense and total offense.

Sources told Jayhawk Slant Yenser is a natural fit for the air raid style of offense Beaty wants to run.

"He learned from one the best in the business," a source familiar with the air raid offense said. "Learning that offense is about being around the right people."

Yenser was a four-year starter in his playing days at Troy. He later received a masters degree from Louisiana Tech. He got his first college experience as a grad assistant at Troy in 2007.

"Zach has an opportunity to develop into a really fine young football coach," head coach Sonny Dykes said on Cal's web site. "We're excited about his group which should be one of the most improved units on our football team this season. The offensive linemen on our team are comfortable with Zach and enjoy playing for him. They like his enthusiasm and the way that he teaches the game."
