Great coach but worthless human being. Serious anger issues on and off the field. The AD Lew Perkins lived 2 houses down from Mangino and saw the cop cars there at night. They were able to keep it quiet and out of the papers. Made him go to an anger management place for a while. I'm not a fan of Wife Beaters and neither was Lew Perkins. Lew was also bothered by how fat he was because Lew himself battled weight issues and even had Lapband Surgery. Mangino had no interest in losing weight and Lew hated how that fat little man was the image of KU Football..
My buddy Keith Loneker, RIP Big Man, played at KU and then in the NFL for the Rams & Falcons. He interviewed with mangino hoping to get a position on his staff helping coach the O Line. Keith at the time was weighing well over 450 lbs, large human being. He looked at Mangino during the interview and told him "Hiring me will give you about the only person who could stand next to you on the sideline and make you look small". Mangino dead panned him, not even a smirk.
It's been brought up that Mangino flossed his ass after he took shits. One of their big boosters, Doug Compton, build a special shower for him off of his office so he could bath after he shit because literally his T-Rex arms were too short to properly wipe his ass. So yes he used towels and basically flossed with them. Poor student managers had to wash them.
