KU4LIFE

Mangino was fired at KU. There was a strong line of thought that Bowen would be retained by Coach Gill, but in the end he let everyone go, so Bowen had to go find a new job. Bowen had many big time high level BCS job offers as a Secondary coach, but he wanted to be a DC still. In reality Western Kentucky was likely just a quick stop and place to be DC still. Going to North Texas puts him back in the BIG XII region recruiting probably most of the same recruiting grounds as before... Kansas, Kansas Juco's, Kansas City and Dallas/Ft. Worth.

My guess is if they can't lure Bob Stoops then they likely go for Dan Mullen at Mississippi State to come back to Gainsville.

Again his prime recruiting areas while at KU were the state of Kansas, the Kansas Juco's, Kansas City and Dallas/Ft. Worth.

If Clint is indeed your DC, then you guys are getting a very good young DC. There is a strong amount of KU fans that would love to see Clint come back as head coach someday. He is very personable, hard worker, very good recruiter, and he only is getting better. Clint has has some very good moments and he has had some rough moments while he was at KU. Sadly some of his rough moments at KU were due to multiple reasons. First off he was basically thrown into the fire as DC after Bill Young left for Miami. Secondly he was having to adjust the same time the BIG XII was seeing the greatest offensive passing offenses in leagues history. Lastly he was being hamstrung by Coach Mangino on many personnel matters... it helped attributed to Mangino's downfall as well. Is Clint perfect? By no means is he, but most KU fans still love the guy to death. I know Clint has known Big Mac for years. Btw, on the recruiting front while at KU, Bowen mostly recruited Kansas, Kansas City itself, Kansas Juco's, and Dallas/Ft. Worth.
