Mack Brown resurrected the UT football program from the dead.  UTgrad'08 provided a great summary of Mack's tremendous success in a reply to "I'm Desparate, Mack."  If I wasn't such a DA and knew how to link here to his/her reply, I would do so.  If you measure the quality of coaching by success, Mack is one of the two greatest football coaches in the history of The University.  I hope to see more great success during Mack's tenure.  Instead of looking to the future, however, let's look to the past for a moment because "Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes."  The program stunk before Mack came along.  How did it get there?  I am not suggesting any parallels, but I'm truly curious about what went wrong and hope it doesn't ever happen again.
