The thing is if Mack is doing it for the money then no. SMU has already had one overpaid mercenary so another is not needed. If he is doing it because he wants to prove that he can still coach and the the last 3 years at Texas was a fluke then yes hire him. The question is which one is it?

Maybe he wants to get back at UT...and what better way to do it than bringing an SMU program that was left for dead thanks to UT back to prominence? Think about it.

Being successful here proves he still had it in him and ends his career with a bang.

Problem is we won''t know for sure until it's too late to do anything about it. Mack won't just fall on his sword either, he'll bear down and throw everyone he can under the bus to save himself.

No one knows him well and that is why the if is in there. That's the problem. Big risk rewards thing throwing out that many years on a high paying contract because it attract mercenaries as well as good non mercenary coaches. Could end up with Nick Saban or could end up with another June Jones. 32 mil guaranteed means no one can take that away from you no matter how you perform.

Isn't there a HUGE risk reward with any coach? I think the risk with Mack is far less than any assistant.

I just read he would throw everyone under the bus. You know he is a risk. Others know he is a sure thing. The only thing we know for sure is that there is no evidence of a $4 mil 8 year contract other than one article which was said to be wrong by another writer.

No. If it is true that you sign him to an 8 year guaranteed contract that means you can't fire him. You pay someone else less with a low buyout and you can make changes if necessary.

So now you have guaranteed the contract. I want some of your inside info.

Yeah, with 39 seniors too. I knew he must have been doing poorly when the weekly threads about him stopped :lol:


That guy won a national title with Butch Davis's players then lost control of the program. By the time he was done at Miami, they were a mediocre team that got into a fight at a game against Florida International. He can't hold a program together

There would have to be a buyout after year four or five.

Depends on what Mack has left in the tank. If his decline at UT was just a big misunderstanding (yeah right :lol:) and Mack is still an elite coach then we're gonna hit the jackpot. If not then get ready for another expensive boondoggle with no easy way out.
