made SU football in the 80s and 90s. He built it, and he left it humming along full of momentum. I wish he had never left. I was so happy with everything about him that when he left SU I immediately saw what I thought was a change in the style and effectiveness of the quality of play. Of course, SU went on to have a lot of success with a lot of very talented football players, but I always felt like something was missing and I always wished that Mac was still in charge.
Yes, I'm biased about coach Mac, and I honestly cannot see myself changing my way of thinking about him even though some people I respect disagree. To my eye, coach Mac just had a way about him that was perfect for college football. He put together excellent coaching staffs, his players played hard and focused football, and he was a wonderful personality. I have seen coach Mac in public numerous times over the years in several different situations, and he has always been the same, a wonderful, humble, open man who lights up a room with his energy and enthusiasm. He doesn't know me from Adam, and yet several times, whether walking outside the dome or in some other public space, he has looked me in the eye, in passing, and greeted me as if I was somehow his guest. They don't make very many like that.
Thank you coach Mac. All the best, sir!!
