Head coach of the Kansas Football team Mark Mangino is currently being faced with allegations of verbal abuse and inappropriate physical contact against his players.
The Kansas athletic director is heading an investigation into Mangino yelling and putting his finger into the chest of linebacker Arist Wright. The reason for Mangino’s actions was allegedly due to Wright laughing during a practice. Since that time, other players have come forward with allegations of verbal abuse against their coach.
In defense, this is what Mangino had to say on Sports Radio 610 in Kansas City:
“There are some things that happen for 18 years of their lives that I can’t change in four years of college. Can’t do it. Can’t change their behaviors, can’t change their attitudes.”
I personally believe Mangino is way out of line with this remark. He is not a counselor or a wrestler, but is simply a football coach.
