re: Paul D/Cholly Mac vs. Saban/Miles

/Chollly Mac lost support of the fans because they were not satisfied with winning 9 games and losing to Alabama. His recruiting suffered and the program went down. Both Paul Brown and Don Shula said the Mac was the best coach to do what he did with the poor material he had to work with.

I think both of them knew more about football than most of the critics of Charlie Mac.

I think that the 1969 team was the best ever, but what do I know!

Cholly Mac sucked and it reflects poorly on LSU fans that they revere him so much. It shows how they were content with mediocrity.

Mac is revered for what he did for this program at a time when Alabama was the SEC. Like the OU-Nebraska domination of the Big 8, but by just one team. Yeah - we couldn't get over he hump. But it was a helluva hump.

He was a very good coach and was a Tiger to his core. Revise history and tell me who'd have done better. Hired gun? Ask Florida fans how they feel about Urbs. Hell - ask really old Tiger fans how they felt about Pepsodent Paul bailing on LSU for a better program.

Mac is as much a part of LSU as Saban, Miles, and the next guy to come along and win a national championship, or two. It reflects poorly on those of our fan base who don't get this.
