<!-- end mod-article-title --> <!-- begin story body --> 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.

You're right, it is pretty much all the same... doesn't matter if it's KU, KSU, Mizzou, the Chiefs, CP jokes, whatever, 90% of it is recycled stuff that may or may not have been funny the first time, or the first 100 times.

I agree with everything except:

In the past, Kansas had no choice but to tolerate Mangino because he was winning.

Okay, maybe you can't fire the guy, but the slaps on the wrist and the contract extension show they cared very little about it... oh, until they lost a few games. Oh noes!

[Saulbadguy]

2 wins away from tying the winning-est head coach in KU football history.

He always lost to Snyder like a gentleman, so I'll miss him.

I mean, He knew all along what was going on. But I guess you can't fault the guy too much.

As long as the team was winning, Mangino had him by the balls. The fan base would have crucified him if he'd done anything sooner.

The contract extension though... that's tough to defend.

[Buehler445]

Sounds like Briscoe is gone.

I would be if I were him.

[Buehler445]

This is a foregone conclusion, but the whole fucking mess is a bad deal for KU. Seriously, who is going to want to coach KU football if you get fired for poking a kid in the chest?

Someone is going to get a hell of a good coach in Mangino.

[BWillie]

I don't think any KU fans were banking on Briscoe coming back anyway. It was a foregone conclusion. I hope he shows deceptive speed at the combine to get him into the 2nd round.

Sounds like it was a lot more and a lot worse than just poking a kid in the chest.

I think after all that's come out, KU's better off without him.

Found an article with some candidates.

"Possible candidates include Texas A&M offensive coordinator Nolan Cromwell, a great wishbone quarterback at Kansas in the mid-70s, Houston coach Kevin Sumlin and Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen"

http://www.hdnews.net/Story/Mangino120309

[blazzin311]

so who is a potential replacement?

When ESPN broke the story earlier this evening I happened to catch it and the college football analyst (I can't remember who it was to be honest) threw a few names out there as potential replacements for Mangino:

-Randy Esdall - UCONN Head Coach
I believe Lew Perkins originally hired him at UCONN and he's supposed to be a potentially hot commodity right now.

-Kevin Sumlin - Houston Head Coach

-Brent Venables - OU Associate Head Coach/ Def. Coordinator/ LBers Coach


Harbaugh wouldn't be a bad choice either assuming he would agree to leave Stanford, which I don't really see him doing.

[Bane]

I'm waiting for the move Mangino to center thread.

I actually like your sig pic. The concept of it, of course.

[Spott]

I wonder if Mangino will end up getting another head coaching job after all of this.

[blazzin311]

I wonder if Mangino will end up getting another head coaching job after all of this.

I'd be willing to bet he does at some point. I strongly do not feel he'll get that opportunity right away though. I think he'll have to prove himself all over again at least to a certain extent, that's for sure.

[Boon]

Why did he resign?

http://www.omsh.net/images/Planet_X_H_.jpg

[blazzin311]

Why did he resign?

Probably because they appreciated him enough and what he did for the KU football program to offer him a resignation along with part of his salary rather than firing him outright with cause and not paying him any of his salary. This way he still gets to keep his self dignity or what may be left of it and at the same time collect a paycheck as well. Mangino I think deserves at least that for resurrecting KU's football program from the dead.

Or they negotiated a settlement so they would not get sued and to attempt to limit a negative public perception.

Working out a settlement is the only thing that made it take so long.

[blazzin311]

True this could be as well. I really don't think we're ever going to know for sure though. It's over with. Now the question is who do they get to replace him and how soon does that hire happen?

[blazzin311]

This is true. The analyst on ESPN I saw though was saying that KU came extremely close to firing him with cause in which case they wouldn't have owed him the remainder of his salary. Now with this settlement between Mangino and KU he still recieves part of that salary. I was just pointing out a possible reason they didn't fire him outright was because they had appreciated what the guy had done for the program.

[KcMizzou]

I'm a Mizzou fan... I hope you get a shitty coach. (Hey, it's my job)

But you guys would have been completely screwed, had Mangino stayed. Every coach you'd ever recruit against would have tons of ammo against him, and KU.

I don't know who you'll get, but unfortunately... I'm pretty sure you'll be better off than sticking with Mangino.

What does everybody think about Charlie Weis? Think he would even consider it? Charlie can recruit and is an offensive mastermind. I'd rather have Turner Gill or something, and doubt Charlie will be in the college game next year but just throwing it out there.

I agree with you. There's no way Mangino could have stayed after all this, and now that it's said and done it will be nice for a fresh start for the program. I just hope the coach is someone halfway good who knows how to recruit his ass off.

HELL to the NO! Thanks for playing.

[Mr. Kotter]

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.

[veist]

This is true. The analyst on ESPN I saw though was saying that KU came extremely close to firing him with cause in which case they wouldn't have owed him the remainder of his salary. Now with this settlement between Mangino and KU he still recieves part of that salary. I was just pointing out a possible reason they didn't fire him outright was because they had appreciated what the guy had done for the program.

Yeah, the settlement was almost certainly about a clean break. If they just fired him for cause his course of action would almost certainly to be to fight it which will take forever to finally get resolved. Plenty of chance for it to draw lots of negative attention to the team and/or him over the course. Just easier for everyone to see if they can find a number that works for both sides and looks like they did.

Bingo, and quite frankly this was the proper way for it to end. A clean break. It's just a shame though things had to get as bad as they got even. That being said I wish Coach Mangino well, but time for someone new. Time to search the coaching carousel. I wonder who it will be? :hmmm:

ROFL

[BigRedChief]

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.

[eazyb81]

-Brent Venables - OU Associate Head Coach/ Def. Coordinator/ LBers Coach


Harbaugh wouldn't be a bad choice either assuming he would agree to leave Stanford, which I don't really see him doing.

Houston coach Kevin Sumlin would actually be a great hire for you guys. Could be catching lightening in a bottle with him - he's young, but he has the pedigree and early success you look for.

[Buehler445]

I wouldn't send my kid off to play for him.

I think after all that's come out, KU's better off without him.

I'm fully aware that once all this shit came out, he had to go, but ultimately what potential coaching candidates will see is that Mangino was fired because he poked Arist Wright in the chest and yelled at him. Why in the name of fuck would ANY coach come here? That was my point.

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.

[Buehler445]

Well for the conferences sake, I sure hope they replace Mangino with someone of credible name.... I dont have a list yet, but shit, no one cares what I think anyway...

PUT THE CHEERLEADERS BACK, ASSFACE!

What are you thinking?

Mangino I think deserves at least that for resurrecting KU's football program from the dead.

Yeah, 'cause that's how slick Lew operates. Compassion is job #1!

[ChiTown]

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.

[gblowfish]

Here's some coaching candidates for KU:
Bob Stull
Woody Wiedenhofer
Warren Powers

[terrysheafanclub]

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...

Who?

[Extra Point]

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.

No probation that I recall, unless it was something really, really minor in scope and penalty that escapes my aging mind.

Powers won early with Al Onofrio's talent. He couldn't recruit, and worst of all he totally alienated St. Louis and that talent pool completely dried up.* Really, MU wasn't able to make inroads in St. Louis again until Pinkel arrived (Cornell Ford can't coach DBs, but he's been instrumental in rebuilding bridges to St. Louis).

Well, I am getting old (from wiki):

On October 24, 1979, the NCAA's Committee on Infractions publicly reprimanded MU for a violation of NCAA Constitution 3-2 related to a failure to exercise institutional control. The violation was in regard to the use of a fund established outside the university for the purpose of paying Powers for debt he assumed while negotiating to become MU's head coach. NCAA regulations require the university's involvement when its coach receives a cash supplement related to duties he is performing on the institution's behalf, and the NCAA found that MU had failed to do so in this case.

Oh, and sorry for the hijack of a KU thread with MU ancient history.

Houston coach Kevin Sumlin would actually be a great hire for you guys. Could be catching lightening in a bottle with him - he's young, but he has the pedigree and early success you look for.

This is who I want... he is only making 700k a year... AND... if you are going to be successful in the big 12... you need to mine Texas for talent. Having been in Houston and the recruits being aware of the success he had there... makes this a no-brainer to me.

I'm just glad that this chapter has closed. When he exceeded expectations, he really exceeded expectations, and when he didn't live up to expectations, it was a disaster. I do have faith that Lew can get the right guy in place. The football equivalent of Self would be nice, but I'm going to be more realistic. There are some good, young coaches out there that are looking for the next step up, and there are some seasoned coaches out there that would like a chance to show what they can do in a BCS Conference. In the meantime, I'm just going to kick back and enjoy other sports.

Herm would make a great minority interview because you and he and everyone you know knows he will never get hired anywhere in the KC viewing area.

It had to end. Mangino's fate was written weeks and weeks ago.

His comments that he may have lost some people at KU but not the players is pretty clear. Perkins had been conspiring against him for a long time, and Mangino knew it. I wouldn't be surprised if he cut a backroom deal at midseason with whomever his appointee will be.

Perhaps he will hold back on a decision for a while, if he wishes to get more funds in the meantime, to supposedly attract the best candidate.

I'm wondering who would work for someone who would cut the legs off their coach like that, whatever Mangino's failings may have been.

Perkins and Mangino didn't really get along from the start. Perkins didn't hire Mangino. If Perkins hires his own guy, I'm sure it would work out fine. I bet they go after UConn's coach. He's already at a school where football takes the backseat to basketball so he knows how to deal with that, something that I dont think Mangino could deal with deep down inside. Not to mention that I think Lew is the one that hired the UConn coach when he was at UConn before he came to Kansas.

I doubt that. His wife is from the KC area, so who knows. Family ties (especially the wifes family) can make certain deals look better than they are.

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.

Report: Turner Gill to interview for Kansas opening

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By J. Brady McCollough - Posted on 05 December 2009

Buffalo coach Turner Gill will interview for the Kansas head coaching vacancy on Sunday, CBS' Tony Barnhardt said during the SEC Championship pregame show.

Gill, a former quarterback and assistant coach at Nebraska, led the Bulls to the 2008 MAC championship and their first bowl game in 50 years. Gill was a candidate for the Nebraska opening two years ago, but the school hired Bo Pelini instead.

Gill's daughter, Jordan, attends Kansas.

http://campuscorner.kansascity.com/node/542

Gill's contract with Buffalo was extended after last season and runs through 2013.

Gill, the former Nebraska quarterback and assistant coach, hasn't confirmed it, but this isn't a surprise. His daughter attends Kansas, and a return to the Midwest would be an attraction.

At 14-18, his conference winning percentage is a monumental upgrade from Mangino.

Buffalo’s Gill reportedly interviewing for KU vacancy

Buffalo head coach Turner Gill

According to a report from CBS prior to Saturday's SEC championship game, Buffalo football coach Turner Gill will interview Sunday for the Kansas University head coaching position.

Gill, one of a handful of coaches mentioned as possible replacements for the recently resigned Mark Mangino, is in his fourth season as Buffalo's head coach, having led the program to the 2008 MAC championship and their first bowl game in half a century.

Despite recent comments stating he was comfortable at Buffalo, meanwhile, Gill has multiple ties to both the Big 12 and KU. Two years ago, he interviewed for the Nebraska head coaching job that eventually went to Bo Pelini, while his daughter, Jordan, is a sophomore at KU.

Interestingly, Mark Mangino's daughter, Samantha, was also a sophomore at KU when Mangino was hired as KU's coach in 2001.

A Buffalo sports information director could not be reached for comment.

I think it will be a rough season though, for KU. Losing Reesing and Briscoe, that's significant. You still got Quigley.

I think it will be rough is that the new coach will come in, and probably implement his own offensive/defensive scheme and the players having to re-learn the differnet termonology and such.

Mangino moved Quigley to LB. Not sure why, I thought he could do well at RB if he would have held the ball high and tight and quit fucking fumbling. He may have been too fucking stupid to learn the offense, but I liked what I saw last year.

I fully expect KU football to blow ass.

Well, Buffalo had won 4 games in the previous 4 years in conference, which is a pretty good turnaround considering they had at least 3 wins (in 2007) for the first time since 2001, won at least 5 games (total, from 07-09) three years in a row for the first time since '82-84, and had a winning record (last year) for the first time since '96.

so will KU be the only Big 12 team with a black head coach?

Could be. Shouldn't make a difference, though. Get the best coach they can get, and if he happens to be a man of color (Gill, Sumlin), then so be it.

I just hope the new coach keeps the same or similar style offense. KU's personnel is built around that and I would hate to see a Herm Edwards Chiefs style regression. That's why Houston's coach would be a good hire, IMO. Not sure what Gill runs at Buffalo.

In any case, I'm with Braincase. I just want the best coach (duh).
