I'm not opposed to it. I just don't understand it.
I was contacted a couple of times. But I didn't go for the interview (either time).
I'm happy for Mack. No one can talk about him not winning a conference title anymore. And hopefully we'll be able to stop talking about how Texas hasn't won a national title since way back when.
