Thats just funny if not.
Same, somewhat aged guy. I mean, what he accomplished at K-State is really incredible...and I'm not KSU fan. That was the single worst football program in Divsion 1 for years and years on end and he turned it around. He's got a Bill Walsh like coaching tree with the likes of Bob Stoops and Mark Mangino tutoring on his staff before turning around their own programs (at least in the case of Mangino).

But there was a reason he retired. He's getting up there. I've been told by some insiders that the guy worked like 18 hour days year round when he was the head coach. That's an awful lot to ask of yourself as an older guy.

Will be interesting for sure.

Here's a link now. That didn't take long to get out!
