For what it's worth, I don't think I'm qualified to create a thread on this, but at the basketball game a couple of weeks ago, a (assistant?) coach of some team on campus was in the seat a row in front of me. The guy next to him was asking about the coach's team's facilities and how they compare to the competition. The coach said they were alright, but it lead to an explanation about Mac pretty much does what he wants as if he's the AD as far as the football program is concerned. Again, take that for what it's worth, but I think if talk around the athletic department is that he's running his own ship how he wants, you guys might have to get used to yellow being an alternate color around here with butters.
Facilities being the conversation starter I felt like this was a good thread to comment this in. Look for renovations to continue if what the coach said was true... in which case the next guy is gonna have quite a bit of luxury whenever his time comes
