Mark Mangino On Close Losses

"The particular situations we might not -- probably shouldn't have been in the call that we were in. There's situations where we had some physical breakdowns by players. Mental breakdowns. Coaching decisions. And we put it all together. We say you know we all share the blame for this thing; let's make it better. We went back and studied how we will handle situations as they arise again. And there's some things on the edge, I don't want to get into all the injuries and stuff. But last year I was pretty close to, what's that guy that can heal people and stuff, I was going to call him up. (Laughter) I see him on TV. Make the blind see and the deaf hear and he can't grow hair on his own head. (Laughter). We were pretty close to calling him up see if he could help us out. But that's behind us, and that's just the way college football goes."
