Mangino!
Aside from Mark, here are some other possibilities I wouldn't mind popping up in Lawrence:
Ed Orgeron - Did a heck of a job at USC Josh McDaniels - Worth a chance on a 2nd Patriot OC? Lane Kiffin - Just kidding! Mostly... After picking Weis, would this surprise anyone?) John Reagan - If we need a cheap hire and we're not sold on Bowen Jim Harbaugh - Longshot I know

Lane Kiffin? Classic!!!
Joseph Kuebel 2 years, 9 months ago
2nd ex-patriot OC? He's proven himself to fail (Denver), and has ridden Belicheck's coattails to having a name for himself, just like Weis. As seen versus the Chief's last night: Punt, Punt, Punt, Punt, Punt, Int, Fumble, Punt... I hope this was a joke just like Kiffin!

Heck, Mack Brown even? Yeah I know I'm dreaming now.
Jonathan Allison 2 years, 9 months ago
might as well throw Bear Bryant (RIP) into the mix then...
Marc Frey 2 years, 9 months ago
I was going with Mack as well.

Randy Dreiling! It worked for Baylor!

How can anyone vote for Bowen? He's yet to coach a single game. I'd say let's see how he performs.
Mark McCammond 2 years, 9 months ago
I voted for Mangino....but...I do not think Bowen is bad choice....btw..Mangino was an assistant with no head coaching job in college football when Kansas hired him.
Joe Ross 2 years, 9 months ago
Chris. Thank God "someone" gets it! You took the words right out of my mouth...
Randy Bombardier 2 years, 9 months ago
I saw K-state's Dana Dimmel somewhere and I like that possibility. Also Oregon's Scott Frost. We need an offense guy. But I'm intrigued with the Dreilling suggestion. He should be brought onto the staff. Replace powlus. But Kansas ain't Texas football. But who is the texas high school king now. That's worth thinking about for future reference.
Mark McCammond 2 years, 9 months ago
Kansas needs a coach that can win..and win without 4 or 5 star talent. Mark Mangino has already proven he can do that.

Why so many are voting for Bowen is puzzling to me.
Jonathan Allison 2 years, 9 months ago
I'd guess that people are voting for Bowen because he in fact actually IS the new Head Coach right now and so far has not lost a single game as such, thus voting for Bowen hoping in the best interest of KU Football that he can salvage the season and win the head coaching position in earnest based on merit at season's end.
At least that's why I voted for Bowen. However, if Weis had not been fired till season's end then there's no way I would have voted for Bowen because he'd have no time to earn the title and would not stack up as a candidate against the other names listed.
Jonathan Allison 2 years, 9 months ago
another theory would be that people simply want to see the results and/or read the comments and since Bowen is at the top of the list they vote blindly for Bowen in order to reveal the results and comments.
Walter Bridges 2 years, 9 months ago
I like your picks but I would move Doeren behind Leavitt w/everything else staying the same.

Jim McElwain. Currently head coach of Colorado State. Won New Mexico Bowl last year vs Mike Leach's Washington State Cougars. This year they've beaten in state rival Colorado and won at Boston College. BC beat USC the previous week. Prior to Colorado State, McElwain was the OC for Nick Saban at Alabama.
Freddie Garza 2 years, 9 months ago
How about Craig Bohl, former head coach at North Dakota State (the guy who beat K-State) and current coach for Wyoming? Or KC Keeler from Sam Houston State?
Chris Spangenburg 2 years, 9 months ago
If Clint can't win the position and stick ... I'd like Bohl to come in, Warinner/Frost/Morris I could get excited about too
Brandon Snook 2 years, 9 months ago
I think I'll wait a week before casting my vote.

Vince Lombardi, since some want to resurrect Mark Mangino.
What a stupid time to run a poll!!
Freddie Garza 2 years, 9 months ago
I agree about Mangino. It's unrealistic to think that the guy would even give KU the time of day considering how he was drug through the mud as we gave him the boot. He's not coming back. Ain't happenin'!
Mark McCammond 2 years, 9 months ago
All parties involved are gone....and most of the fans have always supported him
Fred Davis 2 years, 9 months ago
Scott Frost or Rhett Lashlee - young, energetic and forward-minded thinking coaches. If they leave in 4-5 years because they've kicked ass and put KU back on the map...? So what. It beats what's going on right now.

Ruffin McNeill from East Carolina University, check him out!

Article about Warinner. For those who want Mangino back this may be your best option.

Reading the comments has been very interesting. I fail to understand why we would want another NFl assistant, who does not have experience with high school recruits entering the university system. Clint has the experience, young enough to relate to high school players, and has experience in the Big 12. He stepped into the heat of a major football conference, with minimal chance of success, but has demonstrated small steps for improvement. Let us give him a chance.
