This is a serious question that I'm genuinely looking for opinions on, not just the setup to a joke.
Mike Leach was just fired, and everyone is rallying around him, but I don't remember the same rallying around behind Mark Mangino when he got fired a few weeks ago. Why is that?
I admit that no, I didn't pay too much attention to the Mangino story, so I don't really know all of the details, but to me, it just sounds like both coaches were old-school football coaches who don't fit in with this newer, softer generation of players.

they both are fired both dicks & as a former coach you can't abuse your players verbally or physically especially when one is craig james son. Let the medical staffs do there jobs & save yours. These guys think they are above rules & regs.

HE WOULDNT BE FIRED IF IT WASNT SERIOUS, ANYONE RALLYING BEHIND A COACH LIKE LEACH OR MAGINO ARE BLOWHARDS ACTING LIKE FRAT BOYS
Player - WTF difference does it make that it was Craig James son - why does he desreve special treatment - not saying what these dickwad coaches do is right everybody must be treated with the same human dignity - but really - is this not the pussification of America ? and why doe everyone has to be so PC ? Bring back the good ole days when a spank was not abuse...

I agree but this is not your grandpas or even your dads football. Most parents don't know whats going on but craig james made it his business to be around. Thats why I gave up being a head coach, football used to be a great builder of young men now it's a business

mangino is more crude....kinda redneck....favors ridicule over sarcasm......leach uses sarcasm more than screaming as a way to control players....... mangino liked by a few...hated by some.....most like leach...more strange than anything.... both prefer to do things their own way than become the polished CEO type their university wants them to be...... newsflash to both...in today's world the most important thing (seems to be) is WHAT you say.....and HOW you say it....rather than what you DO.....and who you ARE...
personally ....being EXTREME old school...I always side with the coach.....however ....hard to feel sorry for them as it's very simple......wanna make 2 mil plus ??....kiss ass...polish your act up....wanna be your "own man".....still make over 1 mil as coordinator...be as weird as you want..
Humble when ambitious - gracious when successful - resilient when you fail.

uh, locking a player in a dark closet isn't being anti-PC...its more like being pro-stalin or something. Coaches have to know better.

Me - I am not condoning what these trolls did. There's always more to the story. James was a football player - grew up in Texas - you dont think he wished he were put in a closet as some point.
Player- I get that college sports is business but I cannot stand the hipocracy in the country - fukken makes me sick

Not sure if anyone covered this or not, but to me the biggest difference was that Mangino's team had a losing record or was going through a tough losing streak. On the other hand, Leach and his teams are consistent winners fwiw.
