Muschamp might still be waiting for Mack to leave if Texas hadn't fired him. Mack is back in the game.
I often wonder about the decisions of Texas and Tennessee to fire Mack Brown and Phil Fulmer, coaches who won national championships for them, after two or three off seasons. Both schools are still trying to get back to their former, almost annual Top 10 status.
Bama would be right there with them if they hadn’t gotten Saban. And there were some at the time that didn’t want Saban because of the disaster with the Dolphins.
And Saban’s first year wasn’t that good. Went 7-6, lost to Louisiana-Monroe at home.
