David Beaty is being reunited with his former boss this week, and at least publicly, the Kansas coach is fondly recalling the time he spent as an assistant for Mark Mangino in 2008-09.
Mangino, who was KU’s coach from 2002-09, is the offensive coordinator for KU’s next opponent Iowa State.
“I obviously have a dear spot in my heart for coach Mangino and his family. And not just him, but his family, his wife, his children, his grandchildren. They are a terrific family,” Beaty said. “They gave me an opportunity when I’m not sure I even deserved it, to be honest with you.
