I posted this a few years ago. I live in Nashville. Mack Brown was a dear friend. The late Steve Carter who was assoc AD at LSU called me and asked me to call Mack toi see if he was interested in HC at LSU. Mack was out recruiting so I spoke to Darryl Moody (also a friend). Mack's dear friend and fellow coach at Carolina.

Moody found Mack and Called me back telling me not interested. I suggested they take a look at Dinardo who was coaching at Vandy.

A week or so later Dinardo was the HC at LSU.

Sorry bout that.

Mack would have been a great hire in ‘87 to replace Arnsparger, and if Joe Dean had been willing to spend above market rate and commit to kind needed facility upgrades could probably have reeled Mack back to BR.

Joe “one of us” Dean was every bit as incompetent as the other recent “one of us” hires in O, Smoke, and Johnny Jones.
