Its been a long time. If he has anything left could he come back for us like Bill Snyder did at KSU.
Bring Mac back for 2-3 years with Bienemy as the Coach-in-Waiting?
Id be damned if that doesn't send shock waves throughout the nation.
*Takes another hit from crack pipe*
The irony and revisionist history on this site approaches hilarity at times. :lol:
The problems with the current team would not magically disappear next year under Mac. As a game day coach, Mac was no miracle worker. Mac was not that different from most coaches in that he usually won when he had better players and lost when he didn't. His magic was in recruiting.
Mac's record his first 4 years was remarkably similar to Hawk's record.
The difference was back then you didn't have the internet and 5 different ESPN networks and the insane pressure to win now or be fired, and that allowed Mac to have enough time to get the program built up from the ground up. I once saw an interview with Mac where he was talking about the goal of winning a national championship and he specifically pointed to the 1984 1-10 season. He said from that point, he figured it would take 10 years.
They actually did it in 6, though in some ways his intuition was spot on, since 94 was his best team, IMO. Those are the kinds of timelines were talking about here, people....

He gave me 24 or 25 of the greatest days of football I ever enjoyed wathching. :goldcup:
was the difference between 24 and 25 the 1994 UNL game?

Yeah, I'd like to leave that one off the list. Did not attend thank god.
Just trying to estimate how many games I attended that he coached. I went to both Orange Bowls and a couple of away games so that probably about right.
you were in the CU media? what did you do for them?
I worked as a photographer for the lowly Campus Press my last two years at CU. The lowly Campus Press had season sideline media credentials for all CU sports. I was hooked. :thumbsup:
After graduating I did a bunch of internships. Some paid and some not. The sCamera, the Gazette in the Springs, Michigan and then a staff job at the Greeley Tribune. I covered CU football sparingly after 1994. Also freelanced a little for the Post and the Rocky.
were you allowed to keep any football photos?
My brother works for NFL Films and he got me a photo of CU pro players in a Pittsburgh/ Indianapolis game...
I think Lamont Warren was the only Colt and the rest were Steelers. It is a GREAT picture.
