Big 12 coach list #9. I believe all necessary requirements have been meant.—NMajdan•talk 20:33, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • "The team has had 36 head coaches and one interim head coach since it started playing organized football in 1890 with the nickname Jayhawks,[1] although they played their first season without a head coach" one sentence with the phrase "head coach" three times. A little too much.
    • Separated out last part into its own sentence.—NMajdan•talk
  • " The Jawhawks became..." tee-hee.
  • "years coached (9)" not keen on this way of presenting information in an encyclopedia. Perhaps "...coached with nine."?
  • "Mangino is the only coach to have received any coach of the year accolades, winning numerous following the 2007 season. " this, for some reason, reads quite clumsily for me. Maybe a rephrase, "Mangino won several coach of the year accolades after the 2007 season, the only Jayhawks coach to do so" or similar.
    • While I disagree with it sounding awkward, I changed to your suggestion.—NMajdan•talk
  • Ref 5, decapitalise please.
  • Ref 15, en-dash, not spaced hyphen.

  • Ref 12, isn't ESPN the work?
    • No idea. ESPN published the AP article on its website. I honestly don't know when to use work on an Internet source.—NMajdan•talk
      • Well then I'd suggest that ESPN is the work in which the AP article was published.... (but yes, it's sometimes a challenge to get these things worked out...) The Rambling Man (talk) 19:40, 26 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Support – Looks good. Only thing I saw wrong was a typo in reference 14 ("George Munger Aware"). Giants2008 (27 and counting) 21:23, 30 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments
  • Ref 10 has a publication date available
  • "with a 10–0 record (1.000) his only year." Feels like this needs a comma or an "in" somewhere.
  • I disagree unless someone else says otherwise.—NMajdan•talk
  • You place a note on Adrian Lindsey taking over mid-season; should the same be done for Tom Hayes?

Good list, take care of a couple things- or tell me I'm wrong- and I'll be happy to support.Bradjamesbrown (talk) 22:20, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comments.—NMajdan•talk 13:38, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Not a productive use of either of our time quibbling over a comma, and I'm prone to overusing them anyway. Everything that mattered is resolved. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 19:40, 4 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - can't find anything wrong. Good work! NThomas (talk) 00:54, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
