Mark Mangino vs the North: Points Delta Study

Last summer when it was a little more difficult to see progress for Kansas football program, I put together a series of charts that demonstrated KU's improvement under Mark Mangino. The charts were all relative to Mark Mangino and compared annual team points delta (points scored vs points allowed). One season later and a study like this isn't really necessary. Still, I found the data interesting and thought I'd update it for the year.

Future charts will compare Mangino against the current south coaches and also against former KU coaches. For the North chart I've also included Bill Snyder since he took on a building project similar to Mangino's task. I find it interesting that the Mangino and Snyder chart patterns are similar.

Please note prior year indicates the points delta for that program the year before the coach took over the position. I felt that gave a more valid starting point. Hopefully, it's clear that 1, 2, 3 ... indicate the year in the program relative to each coach.
