Message: [QUOTE="cmr27, post: 475823, member: 215"] The point about Mac being college through and through is a great one. He endeared himself to the fans here, though it took some time and things were not rosy at first. Mac's Sugar Bowl reaction to Pat Dye was great. What really did it for me was the way he stood up to Paterno, who was at the height of his powers in the 1980s. Mac beat PSU twice and his criticism of JoePa being "Machiavellian" seems prescient given what we know now. Part of me thinks Doug just isn't cut out for the glad-handling college coaches have to do with alums, adminstrators and recruits. Mac seemed made for it, at least by the end of his time here.
