I almost took the bait on going sour with Westerman, but after looking at our season as a whole and all the firings/retirements/resignations, along with the exodus of the coach formerly known as Boom, I can't blame the kid for second guessing his decision. He didn't grow up in Texas, he's not a life long Horn, and I'm sure he's hearing it from every which direction about why he'd want to come play for a program, that to the rest of the world, looked like it was in complete shambles.
You also have to consider that if he waited too long on Mack to make the hires, it might not have left him with enough time to take the official visits he may have wanted to take if he and his family weren't happy with who we brought in.
