We are lucky to have Mack running the show here. I'm amazed at the level of detail they went into in that piece.
The little things all added together make it a well oiled machine. This tidbit, for instance, blew me away...
"Brown has a list of all the recruits who did not open last week's e-mail with video from the Thursday basketball contest. He wants follow-up calls with those players, and he will drop them a handwritten note."
Enjoy the golden age of Texas Football. Hook'em!

I would love to spend a week in his hip pocket, if I could keep up.

Great read. What stood out to me was the fact that the coach speak we here is all goody-goody, but the team hears the real stuff.
A lot of people buy into the coach speak so much, they are highly critical of Mack. One ounce of knowledge, 10 pounds of opinion....

I agree with Bobby. That was great journalism. I'm really happy (and surprised) that Mack agreed to let them in like that. Texas is lucky to have Mack. I would take him over any other coach in college football.
