It's one thing to defend yourself, but if you throw your coaching peers under the bus - you've slit your throat.
"I have not done anything that's inappropriate," Mangino said. "I have been in this conference for nearly 20 years, and what I can tell you is that our coaching intensity does not largely differ from the other Big 8 and Big 12 teams that I have observed. We have handled this program in terms of intensity and holding players accountable the same since 2002 to today. Nothing's changed. Absolutely nothing has changed."
Congratulations, Mark. Even if you somehow escape from Lew, I don't think that any program or conference will welcome you with open arms.
Though this is too politically hot right now, I'd like to see one or more Big XII coaches respond, supporting
intensity, but decrying
harassment.
