Mangino to player: 'I'm going to send you back to St. Louis so you can get shot with your homies'

Brown said another teammate had confided in the team that his father was an alcoholic and the player dreamed of becoming a lawyer.


"One day, [Mangino] said in front of the entire team, 'Are you going to be a lawyer or do you want to become an alcoholic like your dad?' " Brown said.

Mortensen said Mangino told him he had been a bad friend to someone who had died. And that Mangino would repeatedly bring up his public intoxication citation.

"He told me he'd send me back to Oakland where I could be drinking out of a brown paper bag," Mortensen said. "He told me, 'You were a s---- friend to someone I knew that passed away.' He called me a bum. He showed me no respect. He told me he'd send me back to the ghetto. I'm not a victim. I'm a grown man. I never let Mangino get to me. But you know what? I'm not bitter. I loved KU and I never let him break me."

"He'd say things like, 'I'll send you back to the street corner where you came from,' " Herford said.


"He'd say, 'This is Kansas, you're not back home,' " Crawford said. "He'd say, 'You're not back with your homies. If you're not careful you'll be watching the game in the stands with your homies. You'll be back in that neighborhood.' "

Tory Bradley was a freshman running back at Kansas State in 1996 when Mangino was the running backs coach there. He told ESPN that he had a run-in with Mangino at the Cotton Bowl, where K-State was getting ready to play BYU.


Bradley said he fell asleep in a meeting and woke up on the floor. His teammates told him Mangino pushed him out of his chair. While he was down and attempting to get up, he says, Mangino "kicked me three or four times in my butt. When I got up he started shaking me real hard."

I was gonna post this article earlier... It's !!ed up but some of them I was laughing at. Mangino has problems he's way too unhealthy to be that intense probably why he had those heart problems like 2 years ago.

some of em are funny as !!...

the majority of coaches are jerks, don't know why the players are whining about it...sounds like the new age pussies starting to rear their head

word? you was laughin at them !!s?

I thought all of those statements and those actions clearly signal he's a closet racist.....

Maybe I was just more appalled because I was coached by some people that did and said some of the exact same things.....trust me that typa !! is the furthest thing from being funny when it's happening to you or your friend in front of ya'll's peers.....

your supposed to be able to trust your coach, he's not supposed to be trying to emasculate you or belittle your upbringing....you gotta remember too these aren't grown men....these is college kids, some of which are still teenagers or just barely 20.....

he needs to be fired....

Is this !! for real?

Coaches go ALOT father than bull!! like this..

This is nothing.
