Mack went 9-3, 9-5, 9-3, and 11-2 with 3 wins vs. A&M in 4 years and 2 Big XII champ. appearances in his first 4 years. Not quite the same.
Had he compiled a record similar to Mackovic, 6-5, 5-5-1, 8-4, 10-2-1, 8-5, 4-7, with 2 wins in 5 years, I'm willing to beat he'd have been shown the door as well. Oh and Mackovic won a Big XII title in there and was gone after the following season.
What it all comes down to is that I am a member of the 12th Man Foundation and a contributer to Aggie Football. Therefore, I can chose to be displeased with any and all performances by AD personnel, as my donations are helping to fund them. If I want to compare Fran's dismal first 4 years (5th year pending) to RC's first 4 years, 8-4, 9-3-1, 10-2, 12-1 with 3 wins over Texas its completely my right. And NOTHING that someone who supports a program that benefits from our continued mediocrity says is going to change my personal opinion.

Calm down Aggie, no one is saying its not your right to be pissed. I think the both of us just find it strange that you are comparing Franchione to a Hall of Fame caliber head football coach.
RC's first 4 games against us? We were 5-6 , 10-2, 5-6, 6-5. We were horrible. That 10-2 season was a fluke, we didn't play anybody till the Cotton Bowl and got destroyed by Miami.
Franchione's first 4 years? We were 10-3, 11-1 with a Rose Bowl win, 13-0, with a National Championship, and 10-3 in a season that was overall a disappointment. I don't care what you say about jobs depending upon beating your rivals...........but I think winning 1 out of 4 in that stretch is ok, especially considering how mediocre your football program had become. In fact, yall had been mediocre since after the '97 season when yall won the South.
