it will never cease to amaze me that texas fans - when pointing to the shittiest football years in history - always point to mackovic instead of mcwilliams. objectively speaking, while the teams were not elite, the 94-96 teams were somewhat fun to watch. mcwilliams was way shittier. way, way shittier. like so shitty that charlie strong's teams were the only ones that were competitively as bad since ww2. even the one decent season in 90 was a complete fucking farce of unbelievably shitty opponents that miami put on full dispaly to cap things off.
but because he was a texas guy (and i guess the gardere outcomes against ou), mcwilliams gets off the hook while everyone points to mackovic. to me, mcwilliams and strong are the co-presidents of the texas football makes you suicidal club. mackovic won the last swc, the first big 12, and was responsible for my favoite horn ever in ricky. mcwilliams got abused by everyone except gary gibbs.
sorry for football'ing (the single shittiest board on this site - kind of like mcwilliams) the cr.
just needed to say that.
