...early December, Mark Mangino, the consensus national coach of the year at Kansas just two years ago, resigned amid allegations that he mistreated his players. He allegedly poked a player in the chest during an October practice and reportedly told a former player, whose younger brother was once shot in the arm as a child in St. Louis, Mo., that "if you don't shut up, I'm going to send you back to St. Louis so you can get shot with your homies."

He also has to hope that Jeb Bush, whose work as Governor he professes to admire, doesn't decide to throw his still heavy political weight behind Rubio. In a speech to Republicans in Fort Lauderdale last month, a seemingly frustrated Crist read off a litany of his conservative stances and said, "I don't know what else you're supposed to be, except maybe angry too."
