I have no point to prove here; I'm just curious. Any old-timers care to share?

Yes, I want to say that Texas A&M basically brought a Brinks truck full money to try to lure Mac away.

He was offered the HC postion at Kentucky at about the same time LSU promoted him to HC. A couple of more times when the Kentucky job came open there were rumors that they wanted him.

Alabama almost did in 1970. The Miami Dolphins came to Bryant after the '69 season and Bear kinda sorta agreed . The Alabama chancellor David Matthews wanted Bryant to find a comprable replacement and Bryant looked to Coach Mac and wanted him to replace him. Obviously that all never materalized and Miami hired Don Shula and Bryant stayed with the Tide.

Why would anybody want a defensive head coach only. Offense was run the first 2, pass on 3rd and punt on 4th. Consistently a 7 and 3 coach. If Miles is not carefull he will be similar at 8 and 4.
