Mangino Press Conference Audio
Thanks to Bensa for catching this early. I can't bump to the front page so I thought I'd throw a new fanshot up for discussion on the topic.

I don’t understand why Perkins has played it like this. Why would he confirm a private meeting to the press if was looking to maintain a relationship with Mangino? If he had to do so because sources were going to leak anyways, why not wait until after Mangino’s weekly presser?
Really seems like Lew has sold Mark out here. Even if Mangino did something really bad, I don’t like how our AD has handled this. It’s quickly becoming a sideshow, with the Jayhawk “blogosphere” now going apesh*t about what has happened.
Perkins needs to come out NOW and do one of two things:
1. Confirm that Mangino is the head coach through at least the rest of this season.
2. Fire him immediately and come clean with what has happened.

I'd tend to agree with you here...
need to put this to bed quickly, one way or the other. Sounds like it may have been going on for a little while now though so it wouldn’t surprise me if he intends to.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
If he's bringing in an independant
investigator it looks to me that he’s seeking to terminate with cause and will use the findings to justify not buying out the contract. Not good.
So…Bill Miller or Ed Warriner?
Me no likey Clint Bowen.
I'd have to assume Warriner for the time being....
THAT’S if something happens.

Interim guy will be Warinner
Assistants are deciding tonight.

They haven't come out and said anything...
but that looks to be the case.
For clarification, by “assistants deciding tonight,” I meant they’re deciding if Mangino will coach at Texas. And if they decide he shouldn’t, Warinner will be the guy to step in.

Where did you hear about an independant investigator?

Completely agree
Mightly Lew has handled this very poorly.
I guess we can kiss most of our 2010 recruits good bye. Can you imagine their cell phones today? Texts/calls from Stoops/Venebles, Hawkins, Briles, Pinkle, Pelinis, Grandpa Synder (assuming he knows how to text).
Sawin' wood
Anybody else excited for the basketball game tonight...
: )

Interesting how the national media can get you stuff that the local media can’t.
A source briefed on the situation told ESPN’s Joe Schad that one particular incident allegedly involved Mangino yelling at and making contact with a player earlier this season.
According to one source, some players have threatened to transfer from the program because of what they perceive to be having spoken to in an inappropriate manner.
Honestly, if that’s all that’s gone on here… I don’t think he should be fired here. Unless the “inappropriate manner speaking” is racist or homophobic, these kids should probably toughen up a little bit. THIS AIN’T INTRAMURALS, BROTHER!
And as far as “making contact” with a player goes- that’s so vague it’s meaningless. I mean, it’s a contact sport!

I'm hearing
it was racist, as sad as that is. And if that IS the case, he’s gotta go. No way you can recruit when there are suspicions that the head coach is a racist.
Operation 40-0 is a go. Proceed to target.
Wouldn’t surprise me. You can almost see on the TV screen that this team isn’t playing for their coach. This would explain why.
That's what we do at Kansas, we WIN.

The contact
came from him physically attacking a player. It’s not like he just bumped him in n argument.
by hiphopopotamus on Nov 17, 2009 2:36 PM CST up reply actions
I'm having a hard time buying that.
A 600lb old man physically attacking an 18-19 athlete in prime physical condition.
How the hell could he do that? It’d take him 5 minutes just to lift his arm up to throw a punch.
Sawin' wood
Seems to me that Lew is distancing himself (and/or the university) from the situation
I would guess he’s upset with Mangino, enough to let the heat be put on Mangino (rather than Lew) by making this (somewhat) public. Maybe he was already upset or maybe this “incident” is the cause, but either way, he’s not protecting his coach with the typical front office smokescreen/coachspeak like normal.

Agree.
Lew making this public is not an accident.

So you're saying Lew is puposely making the KUAC look bad?
Seriously, NOTHING good can come of this. If these rumors are true, we’re watching the end of the KU football.
Sawin' wood
my take is that Lew knows this is going to come out,
so it’s better to have Mangino take the fall solo than have himself/KU get too close to it

KUSports confirming Arist Wright brought the concerns to Lew

Arist Wright?
What the hell, I want answers b/c this is just weird right now

we have to strike while the irons hot…Callahan will only be available for so long.

I would have gone with Ron Prince, but...
he doesn’t recruit well in Kansas……

Anyone can read that, don’t need Twitter.
Wow. That’s insane. Well, those who were questioning whether to bring him back or not now have their answer.
Insanity is just a state of mind.
Here you go
“a source close to the school says Mangino is gone on Thursday..This sourse said that he was nervous every prac, for 5 yrs i can’t believe it”
Insanity is just a state of mind.
No matter how this goes down MM;
You’ll always have the memories of baby Mangino.

Overall I think the whole thing is just sad
Sad it happened how it happened, sad all around. This season just went from terrible to lets never speak of this ever again under penalty of torture.
Interesting that
When asked if he felt there would be an investigation if the team was 5-1 and not 1-5 in league play he said No.
If the racism charges are true...
…There’s only one thing for Lew to do. Get on a plane, go to Gainesville, and offer Charlie Strong anything he wants. Not next week- now. There’s a chance he’ll use us as a stepping-stone, but we’ve got to do it. He’s the best candidate available, IMO, and it would obviously help the PR situation- in the eyes of the media, but more importantly, in the eyes of the Jayhawk family, and in the eyes of recruits.
