Poor guy... I feel bad for him now. 

Where does he live, and do they have a Which Wich nearby?

I'm sure he's a regular customer if there is. Then again he might've eaten the entire building at this point

I was just thinking about the time Kansas went 11-2 and went to a BCS bowl. Those were the days, eh Jayhawk Nation?

That said, I'd prefer a younger up-and-comer. Ideally one who is without baggage.

NO NO NO NO NO NO!

"Mangino also is an older coach who comes with some baggage"

About 345 pounds of extra baggage.

Iowa St folks saying they haven't heard anything either.

I dropped Mangino's name like five times in the last Podcast, when the topic of "Next Head Coach" came up, and no one said anything. I did not bring up his name because I think we need him, but because I guessed at the logic behind our hiring practices. I wouldn't be surprised if we are planning to meet with him, or already have met with him. And I'm even less surprised that we would deny it.

Yes Mangino was the OC at Oklahoma when they won there last national title, and yes he did an amazing job at Kansas. But all those things happened a long, long time ago. The game has moved on since then. Everyone runs a spread type offense now. Mangino isn't the the perfect combination of Texas name, great recruiter, and modern high powered offensive genius we all hope to land. If he is RV's first choice, then this is just another reason we need new leadership. Right now, there are better options.

But as the season goes on, and more head coaching jobs open up, our options will dwindle. Like many on this board, I'd prefer we get a younger experienced OC, from a winning program, with a good name in Texas recruiting. Of course, I could see Mangino's name surfacing later, if Briles, Cumbie, Applewhite, and other names were to be taken by programs higher up on the food chain. But Mangino certainly shouldn't be the first name to come out in our coaching search.

If he is incapacitated due to health, do we have to buy out his contract?

SID on GIF duty. Lock.

Is Rudy's making him his own personal buffet tonight? The guy croaks on the job and we'll probably be stuck with another huge payout with the way RV constructs contracts. No thanks.

I'd only point out that Capper didn't deny the tweet. Not saying the story is true or false. Just saying he didn't deny it. Haha!

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

Offense was good enough to win a BCS bowl game at a perennial basketball school... However I am with the mob on this one. He hasn't been relevant in years. Nor do I think he can connect with modern recruits. I do like us meeting with a name that has some national notoriety.

If that's the starting point - not a bad start.

[MeanGreenTeeth]

I, for one, am sorry to hear that it is probably not true.  I would love to have Mark Mangino.  The man was both a Broyles Award winner and an AP Coach of the Year.  He won an Orange Bowl at Kansas (Kansas!!).  Those of you who compare him to Dan McCarney have no idea what you are talking about.  The man would have us competing for C-USA titles every year, no doubt.  I'm going to end up so mad when we get freaking Spav....

[GrandGreen]

When a school fires a coach, they usually go for the exact opposite.  I doubt NT goes for another older coach on the rebound.  Look for younger and someone who throws all over the place, who they think can at least recruit the area.  

[SilverEagle]

IF this guy is in town talking to RV, then maybe it's RV's way of messing with everyone that is calling for his firing. 

And then the guy he's really wanting doesn't look bad at all to anyone.

[MeanGreenWithEnvy]

If this is what it takes to finally get some decent husky-sized UNT gear, I'm on board with him.

So the Canales "modern cut" doesn't do it for you?

[Aquila_Viridis]

He will eat all the other candidates.

No body here wants the meangreen manginos?
