I know money talks about how much money is enough? X was a #1 seed this year so don't tell me they can't win a national championship. He's an X alum for god sake!
Unfortunately it’s happening. Expected to be announced formally on Wednesday. Here’s hoping we’re not fleeced in the process. By all accounts, we did all we could to keep him. It’s widely rumored that X offered him 3M a year to stay. Apparently it wasn’t enough.
Mack is the best coach we’ve ever had and he’s an X guy, so I think his departure hurts more than Pete’s, Skip’s, Thad’s, and Sean’s, but I’m ready to move on and figure out what and who is next. This has been hanging over X fans’ heads all season, and we knew it was coming when our season ended. Next man up.
