Mangino actually had Kansas playing competitive football, but boosters and administrators always seem to get ideas of grandeur in their heads, even at a school like Kansas, and fired him. Kansas has gotten exactly what it deserves.

I feel the same way about Pat Hill at Fresno State. His grit was a perfect fit for that culture in the Central Valley, and they have been soft since the moment he left. ECU and South Florida use to have similar identities and lost them when they got rid of or lost their coaches.
