KU football coach Mark Mangino’s coaching style is put under the magnifying glass
Loads of controversy are swirling around Jayhawk nation concerning KU’s football coach, Mark Mangino.
A full-fledged investigation spear-headed by the athletic department is underway, mainly because Mangino poked a player in the chest.
I have never played on an organized football team, unless you count my years on the annual powder puff football team. However, I have been a spectator at many organized sporting events and I have seen coaches grab young men by the shirt collar and rip them a new one.
It is also customary for a coach to scream in your face like a drill sergeant, commanding you to get your head in the game. I have also seen the traditional “good game” tap on the rear, which rarely drives complaints.
With constant physical contact displayed between coaches and players, it almost seems silly to read the headline “Investigation of Mangino launched after player complains coach poked him.”
