NewsOK: Q&A with Iowa State assistant Mark Mangino on his return to the Big 12, Paul Rhoads and how football has evolved

+

Q: Have you enjoyed being back in the Big 12 so far this year? A: It's good to be back in the Big 12. I have familiarity with most of the programs and all the towns that house Big 12 schools, so I'm in familiar territory. I like it. I enjoy the competition of the Big 12. Paul (Rhoads) has just been really fantastic to be with and work for every day. I like the kids that we coach. I think they care. They're fun to coach. They're into it. They have a resiliency about them that I really admire. There's a lot of positives. The only negative is we haven't won as many games as we'd like, so we've gotta take care of that end of it.
