mackaliciousToday’s great moment is brought to us by Coach Mack Brown.

CMB just received a $2 million dollar annual raise, bumping his salary to $5 million per annum.

Let’s count the reasons why this was the correct thing to do (and probably overdue):

  • The Texas Football team is the biggest moneymaker in college sports. Factoring in that the Big XII doesn’t have their own network or exclusive TV deals like the SEC on ESPN makes this all the more impressive.
  • Texas is the only team in the nation to have 10 or more wins every year since 2001.
  • Texas is still able to overcome a big recruiting disadvantage because practically every other state in the union comes to steal their players. Seriously, check any other team’s roster. Maybe 15, 20 FBS teams don’t have a player from Texas*.
  • Texas won the greatest game of the decade.

So here’s to you, Mack. We are thankful for you and are happy to have the best college football coach in the country.

Hook ‘em.
