Mangino gone
ESPN
i didn't see it anywhere Source: Mangino out at Kansas http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=4711389 Comment Email Print Share ESPN.com news services Mark Mangino will not return as Kansas football coach, a source close to the situation told Joe Schad of ESPN Thursday night. The team is scheduled to be told at a meeting Thursday evening. Athletic director Lew Perkins launched an investigation into Mangino's treatment of players three weeks ago. The Jayhawks won the first five games of the season before going on a seven-game losing streak. Mangino was 50-48 in eight years -- two wins shy of the school record for a coach. After going 12-1 in 2007 and winning the Orange Bowl, Mangino was given a raise and a contract extension through 2012. |

I have an 8th grade kid who's dream is to play for football at KU....and, I swear, though I'm a grad I've done nothing to foster that dream. Guess he likes me, and wants to follow in dad's footsteps up Mt. Oread. I'm proud. It's by no means a shoo-in, but for him it's more than a pipe-dream--although a partial scholarship to someplace like NWMS or Emporia State is much more "likely."
If in 4 years, he works hard enough, has the talent, avoids major injuries, and gets enough of the breaks---that he signs to play at KU....at this point, I'd prefer it be for someone other than Mangino. He loves the game, he loves the competition, and he has a chance to earn his way through college doing something he loves. I'd hate for it to be for someone who lacks the self-control and self-discipline to get himself together--despite the fact that I think he's a capable and accomplished coach. The bottom-line is, for the sake of the program and for Mangino's own health and sanity, he needs to take a year or two off...to see if he can get his shit together. If he does, some school will get a good coach in a year or two...but his time at KU has passed.

okay guys here's what I heard....
Mangino has been being pushed by Perkins for the last 2 years to do more national interviews, glad hand with alumni and basically do more to grow the program but Mangino only wanted to coach football. He felt all that "other" stuff took away from the point, winning football. Perkins point was that Kansas football needed to grow to be a BCS contender every year. Media and money was an important part to making that happen. Disclaimer.....This came from a budddy's realitive who works in Perkins office. So take it for what its worth, grain of salt etc.

After the media ball got rolling, he had to go, but KU should have never let it get rolling. Perkins should have taken Mangino in his office, forced him to quit, leak some shit to the media from an "unnamed source" that he may have potentially had a health problem, and it's problem solved. |

I'm betting Kevin Sumlin
He has excellent ties to Texas recruiting, has an great mind for Offense, he's relatively young, energetic, and someone the ku fan base can rally around and relate to. IMO, that would be an excellent hire, and a logical move for both Sumlin and ku. I don't see Harbaugh as a very good option. Larry Fedora would be a good candidate as well, but I think you drain more mileage off the Sumlin hire. jmho. |

I think Sumlin is the guy. His squad at Houston puts up huge numbers. The only problem is that his defense gives up a lot too. Double edged sword.
I also know a few NFL assistants who would jump all over this job... |

Philip Montgomery should at least get an interview with KU. He's worked with Art Briles for years. Sure Baylor didn't have a winning season, but look at what Briles' staff did in Houston, in such a short time frame. Houston got impatient, like KU, for a win-shorted season.
Good luck, Jabba, wherever you land. But don't land hard.
