Mack Brown = Tom O’Brien?
Ok…maybe not. But the similarities in the way they left their programs are not as stark as one might imagine. As if the lack of talent on the Wolfpack roster wasn’t obvious enough to all who endured the awful 2013 season, the 2014 NFL Draft surely did little to indicate that Debbie Yow did anything […]
