What could Mack say that would be approved of?

"I quit"

I'm a third generation alum who's family has held season tickets since the 60s.

I apologize for the 20-something remark.
We agree more than we disagree. You have conceded that Mack rebuilt our brand, which I strongly believe. Maybe I overestimate this, but it was something that was badly needed, and a sweet refreshing breeze came blowing thru Longhorn Country once Mack turned it around.
But I agree, when you draw the big bucks then you best be getting the job done. $5.3M is not a forgiving salary.

Do you mean the 6 Mackovic years where we won three conference championships?

Please tell me you fellas aren't counting the pathetic 3-way tie as a conference championship. The one where aggy was obviously the best but ineligible.
I enjoyed the last SWC championship, and the first Big XII championship, although the former was unattractive and the latter was a fluke. How many top 10 finishes under Mackovic? How many 10 win seasons?
I enjoyed 37-27 as much as the next guy. Still got the t-shirt. But Mackovic never belonged here.

Yes I count it..............question would Mack Brown count it? In addition that team you are making fun of beat Coach Brown's #12 ranked team (UNC) in the Sun Bowl. I think Mackovic didn't have a great personality but he left Mack Brown a very good team in addition to turning the program around. The coach most Texas fans should really dislike (as a coach) is David McWilliams.............he set the program back a decade. Check the roster.......especially the Heisman winner and the OL and DL.
