  1. Also, I don't get Mr. Hickey's angle, just what the fuck is he up to, planning a mutiny?  Always with that damn grin on his face...  And did he steal the ring from the marine that had just died to give it to his boyfriend?  Cold, literally.


    I think Hickey was already a bad guy and then he became insane like a number of other men but because of his personality he was able to channel it and become a leader of a mutiny although clearly deranged
  2. I meant cheaper salary relative to what he can get on the open market, not compared to what he made here. He is not going to find a team willing to pay him what we were going to. But I see him taking a little less than another team offered if he can play for an East team. This is personal now and he has a vendetta against Jason Garrett. He still loves Dallas and the fans but you can tell he hates Garrett. Which I don't blame him. But it's still very immature to act the way he did. It's like an ex acting out after a break up. Just move on.
    But if there are guys labeled as Garrett Guys, has Garrett lost this team and is there a divide in the locker room? Wondering if his message and approach is starting to get old and falling on deaf ears.


    I hope he does, the absolute perfect storm of cancerous personalities coming together with he and OBJ would be monumental
  3. When we opened new stadium he implemented a +4 policy which let wealthy people at the top hoard tickets they dont use.

    Also he completely botched the hire of our new swimming and diving coach

    Minor stuff

    When did TCU get a swimming and diving program?
  4. He had a weird arc. 

    His teams underperformed for several years, highlighted by five straight losses to ou, two of which were the most embarrassing displays I've ever seen by any team I care about.

    Then we had an absolutely great six-year run.  Four BCS bowls and three wins.  A national title, another that was stolen by an injury, and another chance that was stolen by voters.  But we were finally where we should always be - contending most of the time and still winning 10 even in the rebuilding years.

    Then the wheels came off.  Mack became surly and allowed entitlement to fester.  In the last couple of years, he quit recruiting and our classes dropped into the 20s.  He somehow managed to leave the program worse than he found it.

    I still maintain that Colt's injury ruined Mack.  I suspect his plan was to beat Alabama and ride off into the sunset.  I could be wrong about that, but regardless, the man was never the same after that.  It broke his heart and his will followed.

    So, overall, it has to be said that Mack's teams underperformed more often than they met expectations.  There's no denying it.  

    It's also worth noting that I always trusted Mack to represent us well in the media and run a clean program.  The importance of these things cannot be overstated.

    But "legend" is a strong word.  I don't think 1 natty and 2 conference titles in 16 years is enough to get that title.  Not at Texas.

     

    For someone who is clinically insane on all baseball posts this one is incredibly right on the mark. Good post.

     

    Key point is that he did indeed leave the program worse off than he found it.
