Reading about this hire, and working in the business world now, I had to chuckle. Remember when everyone was saying 30 or 40K was small change to hire the right coach?
Well, the 30 or 40K proved to be MORE expensive in this case. Mac is a done (as in over the hill) coach, and we will be paying him a hefty salary for at least 5 years. Coach Chico, who was the better option of the two, would have worked for less and brought more excitement and energy to the program. Ultimately, the 'consultant' will have cost us dearly.
I was not a Dodge believer when he was hired, but as a UNT alum I went to games when I was still living in Texas. It got to be a begrudging exercise to go to Fouts to see the weak product that was put on the field. Chico seemed to have the ONE thing I loved in a coach as a player, he developed and executed a game plan designed for the strengths of his players. These other, 'high profile coaches - including Dodge' seem to be selling some crazy-assed 'playbook' as a one size fits all solution. I am afraid Coach Mac will be one of those guys. That being said,
Count me OUT as one who is excited for next year.
