Yeah, when I lived in Austin during the Mackovic years, it had been decades since Texas won a national title and bowl games weren't even an annual occurrence. That didn't seem to dampen the Longhorn ego much though. People seemed convinced that they were one of the best programs in the country, apparently on the basis of lingering memories of Darrell Royal's successes of the 60s and early 70s. I liked supporting the team, but I didn't really understand that.

And it took Mack Brown longer than 3 years to beat Oklahoma, much less win a title of any kind, IIRC. I know the AD has changed, but there's no way the new guy will be looking to get rid of Strong in 3 years just because he fails to bring home the CFP championship.
