Sort of a tired narrative. Here's Mac's last 6 seasons. Unless the Bear was moving around and coaching multiple teams each season, there were a lot more people Mac was not beating.

1974 Charles McClendon 5-5-1 (2-4)
1975 Charles McClendon 5-6 (2-4)
1976 Charles McClendon 7-3-1 (3-3)
1977 Charles McClendon 8-4 (4-2) Sun Bowl 15
1978 Charles McClendon 8-4 (3-3) Liberty Bowl
1979 Charles McClendon 7-5 (4-2) Tangerine Bowl
