Allen wants to create new football tradition
Coach traveled to build support
New Kansas head football coach Terry Allen watches practice at Memorial Stadium.

Kansan sportswriter
IRVING, TEXAS — Kansas head coach Terry Allen is excited to be in Lawrence coaching the Jayhawks. That is true by chance.
That much is obvious.
"I am extremely excited to take over the University of Kansas football program," he said. "This is a fantastic league that has great players and coaches."
Allen also said he understood the impact head basketball coach Roy Williams has had on Lawrence.
"There is great history and tradition in that basketball program," Allen said. "Roy Williams is a great community person, a great wherewithal in Kansas, Lawrence and the nation because of his personality. When you see somebody like that, you want to migrate to them, learn about him, his success and carry that forth in your program."
The big question is: Can he produce a winning team and a longstanding tradition?
Allen came to Kansas from the University of Northern Iowa where he was head coach of the Division I-AA football program.
For years Kansas has been known as a basketball school. Allen said he was aware of that, but he also said he wanted Kansas to be a football school. Allen spent much of the spring traveling around the state building support for his program.
program. They know how to have success and how to support a program."
Allen has not voiced many expectations for the upcoming season, but he was frank about how he sees the program.
"We're on the edge of things," he said. "Two years ago we were in the top 10. We've been through some up and down times, and our goal is to make it more consistent. It's been there, and the road back should be a lot shorter drive. This is not a pipe dream."
identified the main difference between I-A and I-AA.
Vann is healthy, ready to run
Ironically, Allen was a finalist for the head coaching position at the University of Minnesota, where former Kansas head coach Glen Mason accepted a position.

"God bless the Big 12," Allen said. "KU is a great institution — academically it is a top institution nationally. We have great athletic programs, obviously our basketball

"Numbers," Allen said. "There are more players in 1-A programs. It's all numbers."

IRVING, TEXAS — After injuring his back during spring scrimmages, senior running back Eric Vann is healthy and ready to go.
"My back feels good," Vann said. "I was in a lot of pain in the spring."
Now that his back is better, Vann will be the starting running back for the Jayhawks. Before this year, the running back position belonged to June Henley.
Vann had a stress fracture in his spine and spent many hours in rehabilitation.
"I learned a lot from June," Varn said. "It was a goal — where I want to be."
Vann said he enjoyed the changes the new coach has brought.
Most people don't like change — they think it is bad," he said. "But I was not surprised coach Mason left because of the year before. I enjoy the change now. It was good for the whole program."
Vann tried to gain weight in the off-season.
"Size doesn't matter." Vann said. "I weighed around 200 pounds. I was trying to gain weight, but this is where I am comfortable."
Coach Terry Allen has been known to have a pass-oriented offense, but Vann said running backs will be important.
"Running backs will still get the opportunity to run the ball," Vann said. "You have to run the ball effectively to be successful in the Big 12. The running backs are still key to the offense."
Allen said he realized the importance of Vann. "He is critical to the success of our program." Allen said.
Eric Vann takes a break during Friday's practice at Memorial Stadium. Vann is expected to pick up where June Henley left off.
"He's been in the shadow of June Henley for a number of years. He brings some qualities we really like, style-wise, offensively to our running backs."
