re: Texas 2.0

Mack made good hires at the end. The problem was that he hired SEC style recruiters but didn't want to play by SEC rules to get them. He thought they would get by purely on contacts and ability but that doesn't cut it when the competition is playing by a whole other set of rules. Also didn't help that Mack took full control of offers and commits and he was a bad evaluator.

The similarities are there though. Both are CEO types not x and o types that the kids they get love but at a certain point they get too comfortable and think what won for them in the past will still win. They don't adjust their basic principles at all and in sports you can't be that way. You have to adjust to the playing field.

The situation at LSU is better than it was at Texas and for that we should be thankful. We are loaded with young talent and don't have powermongers that will overstep in the next hire. Texas was basically devoid of quality depth in talent and have too many chiefs involved in the hiring process. They go lucky to get Strong. We will get better and go back up quickly. Too much talent currently in the program and too much in the state to stay down.
