While it might be a bit of hyperbole to say Mack’s the best, he definitely deserves to be in the conversation when discussing the top college coaches in the country. The column did a great job of putting Mack’s accomplishments in context of Texas football history. As a student from 1979 – 1986, and alumnus since, I remember the losing seasons of Texas football, the lack of bowl games, giving up 66 to UCLA at home, etc. That is why Mack’s years have been so special to me – that he has returned Texas football back to the status where it belongs and was under DKR. That’s also why I have not been on the criticize Mack bandwagon that a lot of folks on this site and others have been on.
