Mangino to make 1.5 mil/year

[michigancat]

That's a lot of money for what he's accomplished so far.

Holy crap.

[michigancat]

Good news or bad news?

I'm pretty much indifferent.

[fatty fat fat]

Based on his results so far, good news. He has improved the program but the wins aren't there.

Probaly means little will come out of the NCAA investigation.

[ScubaSteve]

This one suprises me.  I thought Lew was chomping at the bit to fire the guy.  Good thing for us, I guess.

[fatty fat fat]

It does show committment. They must really think Mangino will do for them what Snyder did for us.

Snyder won 9 games in his 5th year. Mangino is in his 5th year.

[kougar24]

He's got the schedule to do it, but I don't think he's got the team.

[IceHawkE]

Congrats to Coach Mangino.

This says a a lot about Perkins confidence in the job that Mangino is doing.

[WILDCAT NATION]

Well, at least it's not a token extension.  Appears Lew doesn't go "wishy-washy"

[MrWhite]

snyder and mangino each won 8 conference games through their first four seasons.

of course snyder played fewer conference games in the big 8, and posted the superior winning percentage (28.5% vs. 25%).

and faced consistently tougher teams

Wow........that can buy a lot of cheeseburgers. 

[pissclams]

Lew knows what few of you know, that Mangino is one of the greatest offensive minds in all of college football and deserves to get paid as such.  This extension is simply locking Mangino in at ku before he can bolt for Ohio State, Texas, FSU, or Notre Dame and really hit the bigtime gold mine.  Smart move by Perkins.

[MrWhite]

haven't the dallas cowboys called gina a few times?

To me, it shows commitment to mediocrity.  I would have paid him 1-1.2 mil, probably.

[Woogy]

Sooo...This means Mangino is the best they think they can do?

[pissclams]

To me this is a perfect partnership, Perkins knows his role, Mangino knows his.  Neither one of them is a downgrade and both are excellent at what they do.  kudos to our friends from the east.

[sonofdaxjones]

Keep in mind, ku was 0-30-1 in their previous 31 games when Manbearpig took over.

Cheating gets you a contract extension at ku.

Coach No Comment.

I'd like to see the contract before I make this assumption.

[Andy]

the ncaa should see this as overconfidence and put the hammer down

then what does ku do?

[TheShocker]

Lew Perkins is just biding his time until he can kill the ku football program like he did at WSU. Perkins is a dream killer!!!!

Fat face Lew 

[FBWillie]

Wow........that can buy a lot of cheeseburgers. 

Coach Mangino held a press conferance today. 
He seemed happy with his new contract.

[FBWillie]

So, did I cross a line here or did no one find this funny?   Come on guys, I need constant reassurance that I’m good at photoshop.

FBWillie, that pic is hilarious!

Those of you who thought Perkins wanted MM out had no clue at all.  Perkins isn't stupid; he's seen the on-the-field improvements.

[fatty fat fat]

1.5 million to a .25% winning coach.

&@#% that is funny.

[michigancat]

1.5 million to a .25% winning coach.

&*$@! that is funny.

That's seriously like paying Wooly $1.2 mill after year 4.

Except Mangino is making post-season.. and showing progress... and now dominates his instate rival... has attendance on the rise... other than that he's wooly 100%.

ahahah

Are you serious?

[cyclist]

Let's see, $ 1.5 M and gold is $ 625.40 per troy ounce, means that Mangino would have to weigh in at less than 200 pounds to be worth his weight in gold.

Since when has ku been playing Benedictine in football upon the arrival of Manbearpig?

But, if you're talking about K-State, let me remind you that since Manbearpig has been the HC, the squawks have crossed the goal line in only one out of four games he's led the "Blue Wings Rising" against the Cats.

The cumulative score of those four years: 146-43.
