A day after leaving Auburn, Chip Lindsey officially made his next stop.

The former Auburn offensive coordinator was announced as the new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at Kansas on Tuesday morning, joining new Jayhawks coach Les Miles' inaugural staff in Lawrence, Kan.

“It is a great day when you can add a coach like Chip Lindsey to your staff,” Miles said in a release. “He has a proven track record of putting exciting, electric offenses on the field and he also has built a strong reputation of developing his players. With the returning players we have on offense and the pieces that we are putting together now in recruiting, we have the potential to be much improved.”

Lindsey, whose move to Kansas was first reported by AL.com on Monday afternoon, joins the Jayhawks after two seasons on Gus Malzahn’s staff at Auburn.

Lindsey was brought in to helm the offense at Auburn after the 2016 season, when Rhett Lashlee left for the offensive coordinator job at UConn. Lindsey was hired following a search that spanned more than nine days, joining the program after one season at Arizona State. Prior to his stint with the Sun Devils, Lindsey spent two years as the offensive coordinator at Southern Miss under Todd Monken, who hired the up-and-coming assistant away from Malzahn’s inaugural staff at Auburn, where Lindsey served as an offensive analyst in 2013.

A former high school coach in both Alabama and Georgia, Lindsey enjoyed great success in his first season at Auburn, helping guide the Tigers to an SEC West title and a New Year’s Six bowl berth. The Tigers had a more balanced offense across the board, saw first-year quarterback Jarrett Stidham take home SEC Newcomer of the Year and running back Kerryon Johnson earn SEC Offensive Player of the Year honors.

The Tigers' offense took a step back this season, trudging its way to a 7-5 record, 3-5 mark in SEC play and a berth in the Music City Bowl. Stidham, who plans to declare for the 2019 NFL Draft, regressed in 2018, while Auburn’s offensive line struggled to find cohesion and the offense was ultimately plagued by inconsistency. Auburn’s offense finished the regular season ranked 67th nationally in rushing (164.1 yards per game), 88th in passing (209.5), 75th in passing efficiency (131.19), 71st in scoring (28.3 points per game) and 102nd nationally on third downs (35.8 percent).

According to the most recent contract made available to AL.com back in November, Lindsey earned $250,000 in base compensation last season, plus a $100,000 retention bonus due at the end of last regular season. He was also paid $225,000 for both his endorsement and media rights, producing a total of $800,000 in annual compensation. It is unclear if he owes Auburn a buyout from the remainder of his contract, which ran through Jan. 31, 2020, or if he and Auburn worked out a mutual parting of ways.
