After thanking his family, the Kansas University decision-makers who gave him the “unbelievable opportunity,” his fellow KU football coaches, the Kansas players and even fired coach Charlie Weis, interim KU football head coach Clint Bowen met with the media Monday morning to talk about the mid-season change and how it will impact the Jayhawks (2-2 overall, 0-1 Big 12) going forward.
Lifetime around KU football eases Bowen's transition to interim coach | KUsports.com
Bowen believes in Kansas football. He’s won bowl games here as a player. He’s worked under two coaches — Glen Mason and Mark Mangino — who proved you could win at KU. And Bowen said he was honored to be able to try to follow in their footsteps.
Has the fog lifted around KU football? | Tale of the Tait | KUsports.com
When Mark Mangino was forced out after one of the most successful stints in KU football history after the 2009 season, the Jayhawks paid a heavy price for the administration making the wrong move. Mangino did not deserve to be dismissed and, if you're one that believes in karma, it's easy to say that struggles and shellackings of the past four-plus seasons have been exactly that.
(Mr. Ed says: In this article, Tait also claims that Charlie Weis worked hard, and for that Kansas fans should thank him. I disagree - there's more than just anecdotal evidence out there that Weis did NOT work hard. He was caught sleeping in a meeting at least once. If it happened once, I'm sure it happened multiple times. And that's just one example.)

“It’s really unfortunate that it’s so soon, when you’re not even halfway through the year,” Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops said. “You wonder why it has to be that soon and not giving somebody a little longer opportunity to try and get things right. That’s just how it goes in today’s world.”
