Vanderbilt before Tim Beck… and Vanderbilt after Tim Beck. The transformation is undeniable. 2023 (Before Beck) • 2–10 overall | 0–8 SEC • Lost games by wide margins • Struggled to score and finish drives • No bowl, no momentum, little offensive identity 2024 (Year 1 under Tim Beck) • 7–6 overall | Bowl win • Wins over Alabama, Auburn, Kentucky • Offense showed structure, balance, confidence • Competitive every week instead of overmatched 2025 (Year 2 leap) • 10–2 regular season | Top-15 ranking • High-scoring offense (45 multiple times) • Beat LSU, Tennessee, Missouri, Auburn • SEC contender, not just surviving • Headed to the ReliaQuest Bowl vs Iowa (12/31) Beck brought Heisman finalist Diego Pavia with him after rebuilding New Mexico State University w/ Jerry Kill (Cheney native), and the results followed immediately. Kansas roots run deep • Ness City, Kansas native • Former head coach at Pittsburg State University • Tre Richardson (Highland Park), playmaker at WR/returner • Cade McConnell (grew up in Pittsburg before moving to OK) — OL; Beck coached his father Aaron, an All-American at Pitt State • Jerry Kill (Cheney, KS) on staff, longtime head coach at multiple programs 📍 Here’s where Tim Beck has been Dodge City CC - player for two years out of HS Pittsburg State - player, assistant, coordinator, head coach that won national title (2011) - spent 1985 to 2019 in Pittsburg TCU - offensive analyst New Mexico State - OC/QB (program turnaround) Vanderbilt University — Offensive Coordinator (2024–present) Kansas connections. Elite play-calling. Proven rebuilds. Tim Beck is one of the best offensive coordinators in college football and Vanderbilt is living proof. #sportsinkansas
