I think he is overrated based on the talent and resources at his disposal. No denying he has done a good job there and really knows how to play to the sip nation. I just think that his stock is higher than it should be.

If a coach cannot win at tu then he cannot win any place. They have a recruiting advantage even if the other teams are winning but when the other teams are hurting their advantage is huge. Why? In spite of what Jeff Ward says on 590 the academic program and standards at tu for football players is very easy. The lowest grad rate in the nation of any major school. Academics is secondary to football, basketball, etc. Mack Brown and some of the other coaches maximize this greatly.

The other thing that they capitalize on is the relationship with the legislature. They milk that greatly by giving away free tickets, etc. to the politicians.
