Assistant Coaches Play Vital Role In Kansas Football Success
The highly complex job of coaching the KU football team is made easier for head coach Chuck Mather by his nine assistants, each with a specialty within the coaching field.
The man who shows the backs how to find their way through the maze of defenders is Paul Schofer, who has been an assistant to Coach Mather for 11 years.
Schofer worked with Mather at Hamilton, Ohio, High School and Washington High in Massillon, Ohio, before they both came to KU in 1954. Coach Schofer had previously been at two other Ohio high schools, coaching basketball as well as assisting in football.
Wartiainen Directs Tackles
Directing the tackles on the art of opening a hole in the line is Lauri Warttiainen, who is now in his tenth year as an assistant to Coach Mather.
Coach Wartianen played blocking-back, center and end at Denison University of Granville, Ohio. He coached there for three years and was coaching at Washington High when Coach Mather first started coaching there.
The centers and guards get their individual instruction from Dave Putts, who is also in his tenth season under Coach Mather.
Coach Putts played guard on the
Miami of Ohio Sun Bowl champions of 1948. He served in the Marine Corps during World War II. He took the job at Washington High immediately after graduating from college.
Ends Coached By Piskoty
Kansas ends learn how to snare those long passes from Dick Piskoty, who also came to KU from Washington High in Massillon.
He was a team mate of Coach Putts at Miami of Ohio. He also was in the Marine Corps, in both World War II and the Korean War.
A specialist on linebacking and defensive end play is Tom Triplett. He became a Mather assistant in 1956, after five seasons as head coach at Muhlenberg.
A coach who seldom sees the Jayhawkers play is Wayne Replogle, chief scout and head freshman coach of all sports. He is usually watching the next week's opponents in action instead of attending the KU games.
Coach Replogle has been a football staff member since 1940. He is serving under his fifth head coach
The freshman football coach, Rex Grossart, is the newest member of the Kansas athletic staff. He completed work on his master's degree last spring and went to work fulltime July 1.
