Pigskin Dispatch podcaster Darin Hayes and I discuss Kansas and their firing of A. R. “Bert” Kennedy after the 1909 season. The Jayhawkers didn’t want to fire Kennedy, but were forced to under new conference rules. Kennedy and Kansas had thrived, and he did well coaching area schools afterwards, but it makes an interesting story.
