I think the salt comes from Texas fans bragging about their number of draft picks without at least acknowledging that the number is inflated by portal players.
And these clowns crowing about the playoffs after the worst UGA team in easily the past 5 years kicked that arse. Twice.

getting all the talented players they wanted or needed has never been a problem for Texas. None of the other coaches could do anything with the talent consistently. Sark is doing that....So I'd say it was a development issue or poor rankings or just being lazy and signing bunch of over rated players.
Someone on the Rant reads and comprehends! Who woud'a thunk?
Mack was a great recruiter and an okay coach. He started signing HS players based on Junior season rankings and had his recruiting classes locked up before they played as seniors. All the services raved about Mr. February.
The recruiting services elevated Texas recruits as a function of senior performance (low % - yea!) and the fact that Texas signed them (high % - boo). There were a lot of good players that wouldn't commit early (duh!) and HS late bloomers that Texas never looked at.
Andrew Luck wanted to play at Texas. His father played QB for the Oilers and graduated from UT-Law. Mack locked into Garrett Gilbert and never considered Luck, and he went to Stanford. Luck should have been Colt's backup.
Mack brought Texas back to the top and won a National Championship. Thank you, Mack.
But Mack mailed it in after 2005. He retired in place and seemed more interested with enjoying the atmosphere and history of the OU Game than actually winning the games. 3* QB Colt McCoy covered Mack's failures by winning 40+ games as a 4 year starter. Colt went down, and Texas football fell off a cliff and had the worst period in the 100+ year history of Texas Football.
Good riddance Mack. Pls stay away.
We got us a real coach now.
