Fambrough to replace Moore
Don Fambrough will become the first KU
coach for a season twice when he accords
to the job this morning.
Fambridge, who resigned the post under pressure four years ago, confirmed last night that he had been chosen by KU athletic director Michael Kowalski and members of a special advisory committee.
He will assume the job immediately, he said.
Fambrough, 55, replaces former head coach Bud Wilson, who was fired Nov. 18 in a season.
John Hadd, Moore's quarterback coach, who had said he strongly wanted the head coaching job, will be offered the position of coach. Fambrough said and assistant head coach. Fambrough said.
Famborough in now assistant director of the Wiltshire firm, which raises funds for the charity.
"BOB MARCUM approached me about two weeks ago and asked me whether I would be interested in it," he said. "To have this opportunity is tremendous. It really is."
I guess everyone knows what I think of the University of Kansas and my love for it.
When he resigned, he said he would never leave KU.
Fambrough was not among the candidates interviewed by the committee yesterday, second and third week, according to Regina L. Huller.

Robinson, student body vice president and a member of the committee, said it had met with only Hadi and John Cooper, who this year will have to speak to head coach of the University of Tulsa.
One other coach, Mike White, offensive line coach of the San Francisco 49ers, had been scheduled to meet with the committee. But apparently after hearing rumors that Farnham had been a favorite of the committee, he decided not to show up.
ROBENSON SAID THE committee had voted unanimously in hearing reports
implications from MNJ.
"He contacted people who had worked with the team, and related the information to Robinson."
Apparently, Fambrough was not among the early favorites for the job. Another applicant—Bo Rein of North Carolina State University's 1% offer and accepted a nominal of his job.
But after that, Fambrough's popularity increased.
"We didn't really pick" Robinson said. "I was up to Marcum."
Farmburgh, whose 1974 team went 4-7 and its last six games, said he was overjoyed. "I am thrilled," he added.
"It's even more exciting this time than the

first time," he said. "This is it, and we're going to make it work."
Moore, described by his players as aloof, was not successful at in-state recruiting. After the bulk of Fambrough's recruits left, Moore's teams began slumping.
In Moore's four years, the Jayhawks were 7.5-6.3-7-1 and 1-10.
The first thing he will do, Fambrough said, was to build a staff around himself and Hadi. He didn't say which coaches from Moore's staff would be kept.
THEM TLL HAVE to get out and start recruiting—that's important. We can't wait.
Reportedly, one of the attractions of both Hadi and Fambrough were their statements that they had no desire to use the KU job as part of a move to a larger school or professional team.
When Fambrigh received his first appointment as head coach, he said, "This is the job I've always dreamed of getting. I've never wanted to coach at any other school."
The first KU alum to hold the job since Henry Shenk was head coach in 1943-45. Fambrough became the head coach in 1971 after Pepper Rodgers resigned to join the UCLA staff. Fambough had been a KU assistant for 19 under three coaches.
"Recruiting is so important, I'm sure they
