First question: Where does Mangino land?
Second Question: How big will the crater be?
The first question is a good one. There's no question the guy can coach. He knows the game very well. Somebody, somewhere will want him. Just a guess, but I think he'd be a great candidate at UNLV. Plus he'd have the added benefit of the extended variety of all-you-can-eat buffets in Vegas.
As for the 2nd question, if he does land in vegas, let's hope it's out in the desert somewhere so the crater doesn't do too much damage.

MM is damaged goods now. He isn't going to get a head coaching job for a while, ala Barnett.
I disagree. In the first place, I think Barnett could have gotten a job at a D-2 school or minor D-1 school had he chosen to do so. Somebody like UTEP, or Miami-OH, or Northern Illinois. I don't think Barnett's ego would allow that kind of regression, and he was sitting on a cool $3Mill so he didn't have to take that kind of job. In the second place, Mangino doesn't have near the damage that Barnett had. There are plenty of schools who are desperate for football success that would take a chance on a guy who won at Kansas.

i agree about Barney. to get back in the game, he was going to need to pay his dues at a MAC type level program (where i think he would be really effective--coaching up is what he's good at). but, he'd rather cut off his nose to spite his face and prove a point by sitting it out. as though, somehow, taking a Miami (OH) type job would prove his critics right. i liked Barney OK, but he's a stubborn dude.

It looks like Mike London to Virginia is all but a done deal. And then there were three...
Houston Nutt to Kansas? Hmmm.
Houston Nutt to Kansas? Hmmm.
Holtz and Edsall may be up there with Turner Gill now as leaders for the KU job. Which is funny because if they get Edsall then Holtz may be the frontrunner to replace him at Connecticut. Hell, his grandma's already nearby in Bristol.
And I fully expect Charlie Strong to go to Louisville.

Harbaugh to KU is pure comedy, no way that happens.
I expect Brian Kelly to be the next coach at ND. He hasn't been denying interest in ND. I think I read that Jim Rome asked him if he was sure he would be the coach at Cincy next year and he said, \"Umm, no.\"
I don't disagree, but...
Another name in the hat for Kansas:
Nolan Cromwell, former KU QB, longtime NFL WR coach and current OC at aTm.
Houston Nutt to Kansas? Hmmm.
