From NewsOK.com:
What wisdom did Stoops pass on to Mark Mangino, who has Kansas off to a 5-0 start?
"I didn't pass on any wisdom to Mark. He's a smart guy who's worked
hard. As much as anything, he had a good background, here as well as at
Kansas State being, part of our building process.
"My only advice is always stick to what you believe in. I didn't have
to tell Mark that. And he's done an excellent job of building a strong,
fundamental team that plays the right way. They've done a great job.”
I love that Stoops deflects credit to other people--players and coaches--as much as possible. Obviously, as a highly visible D-I coach, he has plenty of opportunities to take credit for successes, and he virtually never takes those opportunities. Almost invariably, he passes the credit on to other people.
Great leadership.
