For the second season in a row, Mark Mangino, the longtime head coach at Kansas, will look across the sideline to see his former team. Mangino is now on the coaching staff at Iowa State, and the Jayhawks will look to end their lengthy road drought in Ames this weekend.
Current Kansas head coach David Beaty worked under Mangino in Lawrence as his receivers coach. The two remain close to this day.
“I have a dear spot in my heart for coach Mangino and his family,” Beaty said Monday morning. “They are a terrific family, and they gave me an opportunity when I’m not sure I deserved it, to be honest with you. He saw something in me that I’m not sure I had even seen in myself. He made a huge impact in my coaching career, not only as a coach, but as a man, too.”
Kansas defeated Iowa State at home 34-14 last season.
