Great interview by Mack post game. Teared up. Admitted coaching mistakes, especially at the end of the game. Extremely happy for his kids.
Thank god Muschamp was never more than a head coach in waiting at Texas. Mack inherited a Tarheels team that went 2-9 last year, by the way. The man still has some game in him...
I don't know whether everybody heard this, but at one point in the game, the announcers said Mack sought advice from Lincoln Riley and Kliff Kingsbury on who to hire as offensive coordinator, and hired the guy they both recommended.
North Carolina newspaper article. They are pleased. https://www.newsobserver.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/luke-decock/article234545577.html
Boom talking smack about our recruiting last year was the last straw for me. Glad he got what he deserves, a loss to a basketball school and a "rivalry" with Texas AM known to no one.
If my fast math is correct, in terms of wins he's actually ahead of where Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier were at the start of their fourth seasons at SC.
