If you've been listening to Oklahoma City sports talk radio, you probably missed a lot of the controversy that erupted in Lawrence, Kansas, concerning Jayhawks' head coach Mark "Our Coach Can Eat Your Coach" Mangino. This past Monday, the Jayhawks' AD, Lew Perkins, announced an investigation of Mangino regarding inappropriate treatment of players, including physical and verbal intimidation. I guess he meant something more serious than this little pep talk he gave Raimond Pendleton a few seasons back:
The investigation is clearly an effort to end in Mangino's termination. However, it is a questionable call, at best, to say that Mangino is actually being fired for his behavior any more than he is being fired because he is fat. However, there is no doubt, this is not a happy man.
