Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 1842683, member: 628"] Mac also had a signature season that made him a legend. I really think that things would have been different for Coach P had he managed to pull off something like that. Maybe what VaTech did in '99 would had been us had Vick come here? Our schedule did him no favors, but 9-3, 9-3, 9-4, 8-4 from '95-'98 was good enough to be viewed as successful, but not great enough to insulate him from criticism. Hell, most of the criticism of him died down a lot after 2001, but then we went 4-8 immediately following that and it all resurfaced. You really can't underestimate the value of a truly great season. It buys a LOT of goodwill. [/QUOTE]
