'Keep sawing Mangino ahea
Mark Mangino has not set foot inside the Anderson Family Football Complex in almost six years, when he split ways with Kansas in the December of 2009. Yet, when Kansas head coach David Beaty stepped to the podium to talk about the team's upcoming matchup with Iowa State — the team Mangino is now an offensive coordinator for — Mangino's presence was inescapable.

After all, Beaty himself first came to Kansas on Christmas Day in 2007. Just days before Mangino's victory in the Orange Bowl and two years after Beaty had moved to coach at the Division I level with Rice, the Texas native received a call from Tim Beck, the receivers coach under Mangino.
Beck was set to leave for Nebraska after the Orange Bowl, and Beck and Beaty were old buddies. So Beck popped the question that would alter Beaty's career and subsequently link Beaty to Mangino for the next year and future years: Would Beaty replace him as the receivers coach at Kansas under Mangino?
"Yeah, I'd be interested," Beaty remembers responding to Beck in 2007. "But, dude, he's not going to hire me. I mean, I was at Rice."
Yet, soon after, an inexperienced — maybe even undeserving — Beaty would sit down for an interview with Mangino that he can still recall today. Mangino was frank, calm and comedic through the interview process, and he kept Beaty comfortable with
