Agree; guess my point is that Coach Mac and CLM could be compered somewhat in same light albeit the different era's!

I've always thought there were very many parallels between the two.

They both followed coaches who won titles and had to labor in the shadows of their predecessors with their own fan base and in general.

Neither were very proficient in the spoken word and suffered in perception with some because of it.

Both were imperfect souls but in relation to their peers in a pretty seedy business were mostly stand up guys.

The biggest difference for me is Les can recruit. Mac left that largely to the McKeithen's and Corbett's and suffered in that regard when they were no longer there and fell behind at the end of this tenure.
