re: Looking for insight on Heupel: Offense looks strong. Is defense & personality the issue?

I think this should be graded on a curve. He took Kansas to bowls five out of eight seasons and rarely looked pathetic. Kansas has not won more than three games since they fired him in 2009. It almost can't be oversold how desperately pathetic the Kansas football program is.

Actually, while Kansas has sucked since Mangino, his tenure wasn't significantly better than Glen Mason, two coaches before Mangino.

1996 4 7
1995 10 2
1994 6 5
1993 5 7
1992 8 4
1991 6 5
1990 3 7 1
1989 4 7
1988 1 10

So it really doesn't make sense to grade Mangino "on a curve", because what little he did at Kansas wasn't really completely unprecedented.

Tennessee's version of Mangino would win back-to-back natties.
