Message: [QUOTE="elimunelson, post: 3446749, member: 615"] I'm always amazed that Mac ended his career immediately after the Patriots. He was 62 when he retired which wasn't THAT old. If he had switched with Ron Meyer in the early 80s (with the Patriots) I feel like Mac could have had a Pete Carroll like career. Does anyone recall if Syracuse tried to retain him. At the time was the money that much more with the ever cheap Patriots or was it a case of Mac wanting to return closer to home to finish his career? Feels like he pulled the rip cord on a program ascending to go to the worst professional sports team at the time. I can safely say this because i spent weekends wondering why I was spending weekends going to Sullivan Stadium for games (Most of them were blacked out on tv b/c they couldn't sell out). A true sliding door scenario if Mac stayed another year with Syracuse. Perhaps P leaves for another job (maybe he takes the UConn job while they are trying to move to D1?). [/QUOTE]
