Don Fambrough, the former Kansas football coach who played or coached in five of the nine bowl games the Jayhawks ever participated in, died Saturday. He was 88. Associate athletic director Jim Marchiony said a family member informed the school that Fambrough, who served two four-year stints as head coach, died following a fall in his home in Lawrence. Blunt and colorful, Fambrough was famed for his passionate devotion to Kansas and its football program. Long after retiring, he would frequently show up at practice. He was an all-Big Six guard for the Jayhawks in 1946 and 1947 and served as an assistant coach of his alma mater for 19 years before becoming head coach in 1971. After four seasons, he became one of the Kansas' chief fund-raisers and then returned as head coach from 1979-82. He was Big Eight coach of the year in 1981 after taking the Jayhawks to the Hall of Fame Bowl. His eight-year overall record as head coach was 37-48-5.
