That was the story coming out of Lawrence Kansas last night.
The Lawrence Journal World reported that Mark Mangino had accepted the job at West Virginia, much to the surprise of Jabba, UK, WVU, and Jabba's agent. But Jabba's agent was the one who leaked the story. Really?
A caller claiming to be Kansas coach Mark Mangino’s agent called The Lawrence Journal World and several other newspapers late Wednesday saying the KU coach was having “preliminary talks” with West Virginia. The caller, who claimed to be Mangino’s agent, Neil Cornrich, said Mangino was in negotiations with WVU about their coaching vacancy.
“Mr. Mangino has ended preliminary talks today with the West Virginia athletic department and is now in contract talks with them,” the caller said. “At this time that is all that will be disclosed.”
This of course turns out to be a hoax and retractions were printed this morning after reports were released online last night.
Mangino could not be reached for comment because he was enjoying some delicious sandwiches.
