The Battle of the Fattest

20 Aug 2009

Football is a game of strong men fighting against other strong men. There is very little space for fat people to wonder around the field, unless you are the coach. Coaches can vary in many aspects, fat, old, skinny, short but you notice the fat ones first. I have picked out three that are particularly fat and could use a little cross training.

1. Charlie Weis- The savior of Notre Dame football weighs in at a lot, probably somewhere around his winning percentage for the past two years. The disappointed fans are going to get on him for his weight soon. Suck It Notre Dame

2. Mark Mangino- He also weighs about his winning percentage, his being significantly higher than Weis’. Mangino is credited with building the Kansas program into a power will hopefully survive his 500 lb frame long enough to watch his team thrive.

3. Ralph Friedgen- The Maryland coach is no stranger to the buffett line. At maryland he has built a robust offense that definitely has expanded his waistline out to at least 50 inches. He lost 100 lbs in a fundraiser but soon enough put it all back on.

These three men add up to more than half a ton and they are all good coaches in college football. Maybe there is a correlation between belt size and winning percentage????
