Mark Mangino Meeting with UNT?

Ryan Munthe · October 26, 2015

Excuse me while I projectile vomit.

According to Twitter, Mangino & UNT are "meeting" tonight. I hope not.

I hope we have many of these meetings with many people.

No problem with "meeting with" him. Same with "meeting with" Houston Nutt. I'd love to hear these guys' take on our program and what it would take to get them here and what they would do... Doesn't mean RV/Smatresk has to hire him.

If we were concerned about Mac's health, I would be deathly afraid of this guy:

and count me out for Mark Mangino as well.

Coach Andy Mac · October 26, 2015

He is a good coach. and he can evaluate players&assemble a pretty good staff.

It also said that he was our #1 target.

Link?

If you stand between him and a Little Miss Debbie snack, you should be.

50-48 doesn't strike me as impressive. Though his 2007 season at Kansas was certainly that. Everything else was pretty mediocre.

He's also the offensive version of McCarney

As in he solely focuses on offense and not defense? And even then his offense isn't really that good?

Mean Green 93-98 · October 26, 2015

I understand the reservations, but he'd have to be up on the list of coaches who can bring winning football to an otherwise hopeless situation.

Green92 · October 26, 2015

I have some serious health concerns with that guy. He's going to die on a sideline. I'd prefer it's not ours. I'm not trying to fat shame. He's a serious health risk.

Go to twitter.com/dfwsportswire .

but realize that the dude has 50 followers, and his first followers were local east texas dudes.

Dude, he ran the spread offense as the OC at OU when they won the championship in 2000, as well as his entirety as the head coach at KU. He is literally the polar opposite of McCarney's offensive mindset in every way.

Mean Green 93-98 · October 26, 2015

He's absolutely no different than McCarney.
Although, it looks like the Twitter account isn't reputable. Although it makes sense, suggests that Rhoads fired him after finding out he was trying to interview for the job.

Yep.

I don't know how much credibility I'm going to give to this random twitter account. 61 followers with over 5,000 tweets and no mention of where they learned the news on Mangino.

50-48 at Kansas doesn't strike you as impressive? I think it's pretty damn impressive since he did it during a time when the Big 12 was arguably the best conference in college football.

We could do a helluva lot worse than Mark Mangino as our HC.

UNTcrazy727 · October 26, 2015

Rick said he wanted a guy who knows the Texas recruiting landscape. There are a lot of coaches who fit that profile WAAAAYYYYY more than Mangino.

Travis · October 26, 2015

He isn't doing too well at ISU right now either.

This wouldn't be a good hire if that was legitimate.

He had 3 above .500 seasons in 8 years... Even though it is Kansas... I still am not impressed.

Also, we would have to buy him 2 airplane seats for each of our away games... we can't afford that on UNT's budget.

untjim1995 · October 26, 2015

Mangino is a very good coach...but his demeanor is very poor. He was known for boorish character at KU, which is what cost him his job in the end. You can be an a$$hole all day long when you win, but the moment you lose, that karma always comes around.

His appearance/health will always keep him from getting another big time job--and I'd venture a guess that it would include here. He would not be a good hire for our situation--at all. He would not be a good fit for recruiting, for building up a fanbase, or for promotion (if we even try this).

This would be a disaster, if true.
