Its because they have lost 5 in a row. How quickly KU forgets what they were like before Mangino. He single handedly turned that program from absolute crap, to a top 25 program. They should get him a lifetime buffet pass that works anywhere in the country. They owe a lot to him. And now the administration is looking for reasons to run him off.

That's Big 12 football for you.

Could you imagine Eric Berry complaining about something like this? Or any SEC player for that matter..

Just curious how Magino's actions are a reflection of the conference and its coaching staffs. I dont think one idiot's actions (putting Leach aside, for now) is an accurate reflection of the whole group.

BTW;

I've read up on some past incidents where Magino has acted like this. Apparently he has some issues.

I'm surprised it took this long to look into him, heck, it's been 3 years since he ate that walk on right tackle on the team bus.

LOL!!!

The combined sports entertainment media world should write a collective letter to Lane thanking him for all the wonderful content he's provided them or enabled them to create out of whole cloth free of charge.

I believe he was once in trouble with Willy Wonka as well.

Hmm, with a history like that you gotta wonder.

I heard an interesting inteview this morning on Steve Czaban's show with a reporter from the Kansas City Star. The reporter's take was that Mangino was a jerk and a bully and had been since arriving on campus. Players, present and former, and their parents had been to the administration to complain about his methods, and virtually no one within the university got along with him.

While he was winning, this was tolerated. Now that he isn't, every minor incident becomes major. Add to that a fear by Kansas that he could drop dead on the sideline at any given moment, and the ice beneath their enormous coach gets thinner every day.

I don't know the situation well enough to comment for myself, but the reporter was right about one thing--if you are going to be a jerk, you had better be successful.

It's already been said, but here are my thoughts.

Parents need to be put in their place if they're overstepping their boundaries (in college ball, this would mean "talking to the coach about playing time" and pretty much anything else).

The fat jokes and constant harping on with Mangino was old in 2002.

Every player will respond to something different. I have said things to my guys before that would make the average person gasp in horror, although it's something that I personally strongly dislike doing. I think the worst thing that I've done from a physical standpoint was yank a guy's helmet off (it was sitting on top of his head, not actually on) and chuck it into the bench. That was followed by going after him aggressively enough to force players and other coaches between us. He then went out and proceeded to maul his counterpart for the better part of the next three quarters. I never told him that the guy he was lined up across from was a senior who had already committed to Michigan, while my guy was a sophomore who was in his second year of football in his life.

I come from the Chuck Tanner (or Fulmer) School of Coaching. If you get enough people convinced that you're a really nice guy who means well no matter what, you can hang on for a number of years even after it's apparent that you're done. It can make the media who castigated the last guy for his W-L record overlook your own inferior W-L record because "he's just such a nice guy". High-strung, vicious, and outright mean SOBs have a shorter shelf life because players tend to tune them out more quickly and anyone in a position of power starts looking for excuses to make a change.
