Mangino earned the right to have an ego. He was a successful football coach who turned lemons into lemonade.
Lew was a fat, corrupt, incompetent POS who epically-failed with his Gridiron Club and hired Turner Gill to a guaranteed $10 million contract on his way out the door.

Mangino was essentially a 500 coach except for his first year and 2007 so it is easy to twist his record in whatever direction you want. Considering he had crappy facilities until his last year and a poor stadium, 500 might be the best you could hope for. But his ego and Lew's ego post Orange Bowl just got out of control.
