Never won a title but yeah that has to be the biggest coach to succeed. He also lost over 100 pounds a decade ago, no idea what he looks like now

If he lost 100lbs he looks better than Elko. Lol

I’m only kidding about Mangino. That dude looked like a walking heart attack.

lol. tCOTGP is not concerned with how versimilitudinous the material contained within a post may be so long as the aforementioned material is expressed in a manner that conforms to the specifications of appropriate syntax and spelling, as dictated by the appropriate authorities of the English language.

I remember they use to talk about his legendary midnight snacking and fast food runs where he would down like 4-5 burgers in an hour.

Kinda felt bad for him as he had a clear weight issue and not the best profession when stress can = fast food addiction.

Mangino making it to 70 is pretty impressive all things considered.

I’m starting to feel a little bad now. It’s obvious none of you Aggies has considered the historical feat it would be for his fat arse to win a championship. If it happens I wonder if they’ll talk about it on the post game. Lol

It was way overblown by his detractors and opposing fans. He was overweight but not in a Mangino or Charlie Weiss class of obesity.

I think you might be right. It takes a fat arse like Elko to make us all realize Fat Phil wasn’t that fat comparatively.

Do yourselves a favor and google some Mangino anecdotes. They’re probably half BS, but still hilarious.

Thanks for the tip. I think we should use them like the Chuck Norris bit and apply all of them to Elko. Lol

I’d rather have Mangino appearance with winning, instead of Hugh Freeze and whining.

?? What the hell did Mangino ever win of significance?
Auburn needs to let Hugh have hookers again and he’ll be a top 10 coach. The man needs his vice
