Is Mack an old 62, or is Charlie a young 53?

Somehow Mack felt like an old tired grampa and Charlie feels like we're reinvigorating the program with youthful energy. But he's only 9 years younger...

Let's hope we don't turn Charlie into Mack by 2023.

When you whippersnappers get to 60, you won't think 62 is so old.

Not saying 62 is old, but Mack felt old.

Don't worry, I'm old enough to chase whippersnappers off my lawn too!

Both. That is why there is such an apparent difference, IMO.

I think Mack's injuries and subsequent surgeries really took a lot out of him. I don't think he was very healthy the last 4 years on the sideline.

Mack always seemed older to me than he really was.

Waite till Charlie is here 9 years.

yep. . . .but also yes. ..this has taken it's toll on Mack and if it doesn't go well . .will take it's toll on Charlie. . . . ..

No hair to turn gray though.

We'd been with Mack for 16 yrs. we had heard all the stories and the mannerisms had reached the annoying stage.

we've known about Coach Strong for about two days. Everything is still exciting!

I was listening to espn radio and they said he's 49?

I don't think 62 is necessarily old, but Mack looks closer to 72. If you look at pictures when he arrived on the 40 as a 46-47 yr old and fast forward 16 years. He aged almost time and a half it would appear. Strong, on the other hand, doesn't even look to be 50. He's also kept himself is pretty good shape. Think an older Bennie Wylie. I doubt he'll get too much back talk from players. Strong looks like he could suit up and play on Saturdays. FWIW.

Mack looks and acts like he is much older than 62, Strong looks and acts younger than 53...

I watched our 2006 Rosebowl win over SC on Friday night and was amazed how much younger Mack looked then. Apparently those last 8 years take a toll on people after they turn 60

This is the right answer. Heck I'm 64 and run 4-5 miles a day and still lift 3x a week. It's simply life choices, unless one has a major disease or affliction. Mack hasn't taken good care of himself.

Mack is an old 62. Mack and Saban are the same age.

Don't worry, that avatar is the current Mack Brown version of the program. Strong will be putting us on a diet.
