Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 2264120, member: 628"] Mac's first year with the Pats was so much fun. He took over an utter disaster (1-15 in 1990) and somehow managed to win 6 games in 1991, basically on the sheer will of his personality. A few breaks and that could've been an 8-8 team. But as you said, the organization was a mess and his second year was inevitably bad. Give Mac the Pats team that Pete Carroll inherited in 1997 and he has a nice NFL run for a few years. And like yourself, the success of the football program under Mac was a factor in my going to SU. The biggest factor was impossibly getting into Newhouse, but I really wanted to experience big time college sports. I was a BC fan back then as well but always liked the freeze option system played in that Dome (and in the interest of full disclosure, I hated Boeheim and SU hoops until I stepped onto campus in the fall of 1991).
