Alright folks, let’s dig into how I actually tried to figure out where Chris Mack is now and what he’s doing. Straight up, it was a rabbit hole. I didn’t really know much about the guy lately, just that name popping up somewhere. Felt like figuring it out properly.
Starting Simple – Just Google It
Opened up my laptop, went straight to Google. Sounds obvious, right? Typed in “Chris Mack” and hit enter. Big mistake. Page flooded with all kinds of Chris Macks. Basketball coaches, scientists, artists… total chaos. Needed to narrow it down fast. Scrolled past the ads, saw a name tagged as “former college basketball coach”. Clicked that link.
Found out he was a big deal at Xavier. Won lots of games. Felt like I was getting warmer. Remembered someone mentioning Louisville? Added “Louisville basketball coach” after his name. Boom. News articles started making sense now. Kept scrolling through search results.
Hitting the News Archives
Found a bunch of older articles from sports sites. Headlines like “Mack parts ways with Louisville” or “Former coach Chris Mack”. Started reading a few. Pieced together he left the Louisville job sometime after 2022. Not entirely clear why initially – something contract-related, maybe disagreements? Articles were vague on the juicy details.
Needed more recent stuff. Changed my search filter to show “Past year”. Way better. Fresh headlines popped up. Saw something about him doing radio? Clicked on an ESPN link dated a few months back. Confirmed it – he’s working on sports radio now. Called into a show or co-hosted a segment? Wasn’t fully clear yet.
Checking Out Social Media
Figured Twitter or Instagram might show what he’s up to now, like today. Went to Twitter. Searched “@CoachChrisMack”. Found a profile that looked legit. Hit “Follow” just in case. Bio wasn’t super detailed, but saw tweets mostly about college hoops stuff, talking about games. Mentioned doing a regular radio spot on a local station. That tracked.
Here’s the frustrating bit: Tried finding clips. Went to the radio station’s website he mentioned. Scrolled through their on-demand audio clips. Couldn’t find his name easily. Clicked a recent basketball discussion episode description – there he was listed as a guest. Found it! Clicked play… waited… loaded slow. Finally heard his voice talking strategy. Felt like a win.
- Step 1: Googled blindly – too many Chris Macks!
- Step 2: Refined search with his coaching jobs – much better.
- Step 3: Dug into recent news past the initial “he left” reports.
- Step 4: Tracked down his social media clues.
- Step 5: Hunted down the actual proof – those radio clips.
What I Actually Found Out
So, after all that clicking, searching, reading, and listening? Yeah. Chris Mack isn’t coaching a college team right now. Looks like he stepped away after Louisville. But he didn’t vanish. He pops up talking hoops on the radio fairly regularly, analyzing games mainly. Seems like he’s staying connected to the sport through the media side for now. Found mentions here and there about podcasts too, but haven’t checked those out yet.
The whole thing took way longer than I thought it would. Why? Because nobody just has a website saying “This Is Where Chris Mack Is Today”. You gotta dig past the old headlines, ignore the wrong Chris Macks, and actually find the fresh tracks. Learned that radio stuff is harder to dig up than print articles sometimes too.
