If I'm wrong then why hasn't Mangino been hired by anyone else?
His football intelligence is undeniable. It's his personality that got him run out of Lawrence and is preventing him from getting in anywhere else.

And if you're a guy that's likely going to shun the same kind of 'requirements', you're probably not too keen on walking into that environment.
For most major universities that give a large rat's ass about their football programs, winning will do the trick. I guess at KU, you need to make sure you're buddy/buddy with the right cattle ranchers.
Defending the way KU handled Mangino says more than any MU fan could ever say. You fellas deserved 2 years in the abyss with Gill after that garbage.
