Early in the 2nd, Kansas State leads Bama 10-7. But the Tide now has 1st and Goal at the 2. Bama takes the lead 14-10.
Before Bill Snyder (a protege of Hayden Frye, like the Stoops boys) went to K-St, the Wildcats were problem the worst all time football program in any Major conference. Before Snyder, the KU football program was a terrifying giant compared to K-St. Since Snyder, K-St has been a consistent winner. That in a state that produces maybe a quarter of the football talent that NC produces.
The Right coach at even the most hapless school can more than just win - he also can leave such a legacy that the program remains a winner well into the future.
The current K-St HC is something of an antithesis to Mack. Rather be all about out-recruiting opponents, Chris Klieman focuses on developing talent and making all players master fundamentals. The football culture is one of toughness and fight. They welcome being underdogs and relish proving to the prettier recruits elsewhere that they will outwork them.
UNC football now has, and for sometime past has had, a soft football culture. If Mack Brown had any ability to alter that, surely he could have done it within 4 seasons. If not, then hemal not live long enough to get it done. UNC football needs the Bill Dooley style off football culture that permeates every part of the program, and especially the OL and DL. A coach like Chris Klieman would install it. Mack will keep focusing on his silver tongue to smooth over the failures and weaknesses.
