The fat man is gone.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP)—Kansas coach Mark Mangino resigned Thursday in the wake of an investigation into his treatment of his players, stepping down just two years after leading the Jayhawks to the greatest season in their checkered football history.

The university made the announcement as athletic director Lew Perkins informed the players of the news.

The school said last month it would probe Mangino’s alleged verbal and emotional abuse of players. In the following days, many former players described insensitive, humiliating remarks they claim he made to them in the heat of games or practice, often in front of others....

2. Naw, Charlie didn't berate his players, I think he was too nice to them...
...oh, you don't want to really try today, that's ok, you still have value, you're still a good person. Jesus H Christ...this is bootcamp, Charlie, they need to know half-assed efforts aren't acceptable.

3. 'Mental and emotional' abuse certainly could be a serious thing, and although
college students are adults they are vulnerable to that sort of mistreatment from coaches and faculty. However, I sort of wonder if he was equally abusive back when the team was winning, and why it wasn't a problem then...

Wrong fat man I guess. Never mind.
