Totally unrelated to this...
A friend of mine (that's a KU grad) at work knows all kinds of athletes at KU. I don't know how, but he does. Anyway, he texts me last night and says, "I have it on good authority KSU is seriously considering hiring Mangino. Thoughts?"
I ask him about it this morning, and he says, "I just heard from my friend, a former KU player, that KSU is having very real discussions about hiring Mangino." I then kind of blow it off, and he says, "Do you know who Mike Smith is?" I say, "Yeah, he's our WR coach." The then says, "My friend talked to him, and Mike Smith said there's a very real chance Mangino will be on the KSU sideline next season."
So, yeah, take it for what it's worth.
