Kansas coach David Beaty spoke to reporters following the team's loss to Texas Friday afternoon at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. It marked Beaty's final game of his coaching career at KU, which lasted four seasons.

"When you care about something, you should carry emotion," Beaty said. "This place is special to me. We told the guys in the locker room after the game that it is time for them to step up and take this place to the next level."

With the loss, Kansas (3-9, 1-8) wrapped up its 10th consecutive losing season. Beaty finished off his four-year career as the KU head coach with a 6-42 overall record, including just 2-34 against conference foes.

KU football players spoke to reporters Tuesday afternoon ahead of the final game of the regular season. Players answered questions about the University of Kansas hiring Les Miles as its next head football coach.

"I'm excited to see what he can do with this program," senior Joe Dineen said.

Miles brings to Lawrence 142 victories, a BCS national championship and two SEC titles in 15-plus seasons as a head coach, the most career wins of anyone who has coached football at Kansas in the modern era.

Most recently, Miles served as the head coach at LSU (2005-16), where his teams averaged 10 wins per year in his 11 full seasons.
