Didn't Saban have same reputation prior to going undefeated this season? That he would drop a game he should not every year?


He did... but Mack's been there a long time. I'm not saying he's not a good coach. I just don't know if he's worth $5 million a year. I think he's a little overrated.

I'd say he is damn good.

I think he's a terrific coach. But not worth 5 mill. Urban Meyer has done much more than anyone else and he doesn't get paid that much.

At Texas 7 Seasons before he went undefeated

You could make same argument for Saban who had 7 seasons between 2 BCS conference schools prior to undefeated. As they said Saban would drop a game a year while at LSU and they have said Mack would drop a game a year until he won it all.

I can't even begin to tell you how influential Mack Brown has been to Texas football. His teams have won 10 or more games for 9 straight years. The loss to Bama is his first bowl loss in God knows when. He runs a clean program, genuinely cares for his players, loves UT and Austin, and in turn he is beloved here. Our football stadium will soon be 2nd to none thanks to the increased revenue the program brings in, not only from ticket sales, but also from alumni contributions. He has re-energized a fan base that was prone to showing up late, sitting on their hands, and leaving early. Texas games are fun again. DKR is loud and intimidating, two words that were never used to describe it before Mack got here. It goes so much deeper than just winning games. By the time he retires, he may eclipse Texas' own version of Bear Bryant (Darryl Royal) as our school's most revered football coach.
