Hired Dec. 3 to become the first offensive coordinator under new Kansas football coach Les Miles, Chip Lindsey is reportedly already on his way out of town. After a couple of previous reports linked Lindsey to the head coaching job at Troy, both Football Scoop and Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports reported Wednesday evening that Lindsey, KU’s OC and quarterbacks coach, will be named Troy’s next coach.

Some wondered, when Udoka Azubuike’s season ended, how Kansas could survive with a four-guard lineup when its current crop of perimeter players aren’t exactly known for their lights-out 3-point shooting. Even if it wasn’t a convincing one, the Jayhawks provided their first answer Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse, as they embraced their new small-ball image.
