Saban was at LSU for 5 years. Mack was at tu for 16.

If Mack jumped around as much as Saban did and bailed after 5 years, he would be leaving an 11-2 team, along with the recruiting class that ultimately went on to win the Rose Bowl and MNC 3 years later.

Those are 2 entirely different animals.

And no one is comparing Mack to Saban anyway, but Saban has never stuck around long enough to see a program face problems becoming stale. It happens to every coach who stays for a long time. 16 years is a very long run.

Saban also hasn't gone through a bunch of d coordinators.

Mack's last few years are why coaches are loyal to guys that stick with them. Dealing with one guy after another always looking for the next job is not easy.

Always cracks me up when this board acts like Mack Brown was some terrible coach.

After hiring June Jones, Mack would just be a continuation of hiring a famous older coach who has had success.

He's great with alumni and at fundraising. Has deep recruiting ties in Texas. And you know he would just love to steal a recruit or two from Big Game Bob and Art Briles every year or so.

Please let this happen. And please let SMU have success.

You do realize that SMU locking down Dallas would be bad for us, right?

Lol, a successful cusa team isn't going to lol down Dallas

Ok. Roll the dice on that if you want. I would rather them be in CUSA and not successful.

---

Scared of SMU, now that's funny.

Laugh it up. You have to agree that a terrible SMU in CUSA is better for us that a good SMU in CUSA.

Which part of SMU being in the AAC do you not understand??

it's better that SMU is never truly back. Unlike Baylol those guys were kicking our ass up and down the field for a good while in the 80s

I don't know if SMU will be successful, but they have the three basic requirements: money.

Why not? smu can't get any worse.

They were also paying off players.

ok, you are right. the point stands.

Anyone that doesn't think this would be a great hire for SMU is smoking crack.

Just like TCU is doing? I think we will be fine. If anything SMU success just hurts OkState maybe Tech.

Also to those saying Mack was a terrible coach. HCs coach about as much as CEOs make widgets. You have to have a good supporting staff to actually drill in the fundamentals. Hence what's wrong with Sumlin. He needs to hire a better supporting staff.
