Posted Sep 1, 2022
Mack Brown's first season as a head college football coach in 1983 would be his only season at App State. He gave that up and his $38,500 salary to become the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma, which paid $125,000 at the time. His goal was to be a Division I-A head coach. Under different circumstances, Brown might not have ever left the Mountaineers. (MSN.com)
