Title: Mack Brown
Post by: TaqMan on November 06, 2010, 07:51:44 PM
WTF is he wearing? It looks like some kind of too-tight space suit material. All he needs is orange Oakleys ala Bobby Bowden to be a total 70 yr old guido

They're going to pay him $500k a year to sit around the athletic department until 2020, so he won't be on our sidelines.

oh jesus


Earlier today, a report surfaced that Mack Brown had agreed to step down as head football coach at the University of Texas and move into a administrative role at the University.
When reached by text moments ago, Brown refuted the story to Horns247.
"I haven't seen (the) article," Brown wrote.
"I'm in Florida recruiting. If I had decided to step down I sure wouldn't be killing myself down here. I have not decided to step down."
Brown is expected to be in Florida for the next two days. He is expected to visit running back Dalvin Cook in Miami today and linebacker Andrew Beck in Tampa tomorrow.
Additionally, sources tell Horns247 that Texas football staff has not been made aware of any such decision.

Dkr is rolling in his grave

Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

DKR didn't have to worry about scholarship limits, and he coached when there were never more than 3 or 4 good college football teams in any one season. Mack has been much better.
Macks lack of conference championships and national championships laugh at you too

Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk

DKR played in a shitty conference compared to the Big 12. No Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Colorado, or Nebraska. Mack would have won like 20 national championships if he could have coached at Texas during the 70s.
And has a way better results than Mack. It's not like the Big 12 these days is super powerful outside of your token team not named OU/TX...besides, Mack would've been LONG gone had it not been for Vince & Colt.

Knowing full well that any numbers I throw out will aid and abet the enemy, I will say the minimum. Again, full disclosure, I'm reporting a story that seems to be taking on a life of it's own but I feel it's important to post now so this website is credited for the work. To that end, I'll also be posting my real identity tomorrow and I will email all subsequent stories to the various media outlets including but not limited to ESPN, CBS Sports, etc.

Here's what I got.

In talking to various sources plugged into the Alabama and Texas sides, it seems Nick Saban is roughly $20 million in the hole due to investments with LSU and Alabama alums. These investments are predominantly in the commercial real estate space. For his trouble, Nick Saban is not a happy camper with these two alumni bases and has a hole in his retirement plan that Mark Ingram could run through. Additionally, I'm told Texas and the Longhorn Foundation have "passed the hat" to provide a dollar amount up front that nearly makes Nick Saban whole after these defunct investments. Call it the Lamarr Houston/Roy Miller investment strategy. The mechanism used to fund this "bonus" will be off the books in order to make the total compensation package more politically palatable when it's officially announced. Texas does not want to be perceived as the Yankees and again, I don't want to help negotiations with enemy.


As far as conventional compensation, look for the number to be right around eight million a year for six years with a two-year option. This structure makes it more acceptable to the BOR and the academics in the school. Don't tell them how much the athletic department contributes to the general fund because they won't listen. Just know that the football men understand how the perception game is played.

Trust me, I understand that there's always a counter offer in these deals, but I'm told that the Bama president does not want to get in a bidding war against Texas because she doesn't want it to seem like Bama is a semi-pro team. Again, this is the academic's mindset at work. She's, after all, Bill Powers' peer or at least is attempting to be. Add this item to the fact that Bama's Athletic Director Bill Battle has gotten sideways with Saban, and it doesn't bode well for the Tide. One final piece is Chancellor Witt.

Dr. Witt is the only ally that Saban has at the administrative level at Bama and he happens to be a Texas guy. Yes, Dr. Witt has a soft spot in his heart for Texas, and has told folks close to the Texas AD that he thinks Saban is headed to Austin.

If Saban is announced as the Texas head football coach in the next few days, fans will be in line to enjoy an historic change in culture and football operations in general.

Like you, I will enjoy the process.

In other words, I will look forward to Nick Saban's process.

You'll notice that I did NOT add recruiting to my list of four reasons.

It is obvious that the recruiting would be at the same level or better than Bama, but let's just assume the same, for the sake of this conversation.

5th reason...Has anyone ever won a national championship at three different schools?  Is he a proud man who would value that sort of "legacy" thing?  He clearly isn't very loyal (see Miami and LSU)

Nick Saban has been a football coach since 1975. He has coached 13 different locations and his average stay at any place is 2.9 years over that span. He's been at Bama for 6 years, by far his longest stay anywhere in his career. He may not go to Texas, but he won't be at Bama much longer. JMHO.

Mack has done a poor job evaluating talent at QB on the recruiting trail over the last few years. If he were operating under the same rules as DKR, that wouldn't matter. Manziel and Winston would be on his roster at QB, along with just about all of the other good players on various teams around the Big 12. Kansas State, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, and TCU would all be dogshit programs that rarely go .500 and Texas would be great every year. DKR just had the benefit of being the coach at Texas when the rules created an unlevel playing field and only a handful of schools across the country were even capable of competing.

Although VERY second/third hand info, I have a good friend down here who's sales territory happens to be Alabama.  A couple of months ago when the earliest rumors of Saban to Texas started to surface (think post-BYU/Ole Miss blowouts), she heard rumblings of "Saban being unhappy with some bad investments that 'Bama boosters had gotten him involved in".

At the time, I just sort of took it with a grain of salt.  However, there may be a bit more validity to all that mess that has been made public to this point.

This. The Texas Saban takes over is in a better spot than the Bama saban took over. 

If Saban wants to go down as the greatest college coach of all time then the only way he can do that is go to Texas and win another title. If he stays at Bama he will always be the "Second coming of bear"...If he goes to Texas and wins a natty he will undoubtedly be the GOAT...rebuilding and winning a natty at not one, not two, but 3 blue blood schools?

We went through this a while back, but MiR had some decent points about black kids being more comfortable at Tuscaloosa than Austin, so the "coolness" doesn't really matter. white midwesterners just know Austin is a "city" so assume it's more attractive, when that isn't necessarily the case. And Bama is in a great freaking recruiting ground.


All of these lists are personal lists, good for you for actually admitting it. For elite college football players living in Tuscaloosa, Alabama or anywhere in SEC country has draws that Austin doesn't. I'm now assuming that these lists are lists of where a white midwesterner would want to coach as opposed to what the best programs are.
What would Tuscaloosa have that Austin doesn't? 

I think I see your point with the typical college town outside of the southeastern US but not a big city like Austin.

the great ones are always hungry, never complacent.  That's why they get to where they are.  Always seeking out a new challenge.  This is what UT represents to Saban.  He's only 62.  I could see him coaching for another 5-10 years.  He's nothing left to accomplish at Bama.  I dunno.  If he left, I could see this being the reason.  Money, job security, etc. are all non-factors, IMO.  UT and Bama will each pay him whatever the F he wants.

Don't be stupid fellas, UT is a better job than 'Bama.

The UT Mack leaves is not better than the 'Bama Saban built.
If both coaching jobs were open right now, you're telling me 'Bama is better? Bama is better because Saban made it better. Take Saban out of the equation and UT is better in a land slide.

If both jobs are open, 'Bama is absolutely better for a lot of coaches. It's all about where you have recruiting relationships.

UT has more money, is in Austin and is not in Alabama.

I think Bama is a fine job and many coaches would never leave.  Saban leaves programs and UT is one of the few who could pull someone away from Bama.  I think for Saban it is about power and money.  UT would give him the most power and money.

Keep in mind that Bama was able to hire Saban after Mike Price/Franchione/Mike Shula crap years. That says a lot about the quality of the job.
you don't think UT would be able to pull off something similar?

If they don't get Saban? Probably not. (Also consider that Mack left UT in MUCH better shape than Shula left Bama)
the timing and situation of when Saban was hired by bama was completely different than the situation right now if texas were to hire him..

yeah, Saban had painted himself into a corner in Miami by signing Dante Culpepper instead of Drew Brees and knew it was going to end poorly for him.

I can't blame Bama fans for freaking out. Everyone thinks of Bama and Saban and titles, but they had their own run of awful. Stallings was pretty good ("just" 1 national title though), then Mike DuBose (yeah, I haven't heard of him either), the Franchione mess  :blank:, Mike Price  :lol:, and Mike Shula  :zzz:. There are no guarantees, even for great programs.

1. Who does Bama go after if this all goes down? Charlie Strong? David Shaw? Retain Kirby Smart?

2. If Bill retired after the BWW, would you take Mack Brown for our HC?

3. I'm pretty sure Bob Stoops contract says he has to be the highest paid coach in the Big 12. Is he reasonable enough to stay and work out a less salary than $10 mil a year (if that ends up being accurate)? I could easily see him leaving for Alabama if OU is unable to pay him.

I don't know why this has to be rehashed over and over again but no one outside of the Big 12 views Texas as a better job than Alabama. Those who think so are relegated to the argument that Austin is cooler than Tuscaloosa. There is nothing that is measurable that shows that UT is a better program. Alabama has more titles, more wins, more coaches with national titles, has been nationally relevant longer, etc. Texas has done a great job of making itself a big boy and the fact that this conversation is being had is a testament to how incredible Deloss Dodds was as an AD. Less than 20 years ago UT was such a regional brand that they had to join the Big 8. Obviously they as a university and an athletic department are in a much better place now, but if you are anywhere outside of TX, OK, and KS and mention UT as a better program than Alabama then you will get laughed out of the room.

You have to be absolutely daft to think that an AD with a third more in revenue doesn't have massive advantages.  That isn't even getting into the Longhorn Network, which seems too big to fail at this point and the collective recruiting grounds each university occupies (caveat, while national brand means something for recruiting the cream of each year's crop, no one can reasonably say that there aren't 3 states at the top of every recruiters talent list)

What are you talking about?  First, UT could buy the entire University of Alabama with the interest from their endowment.  Second prior to Mack Brown, UT was still one of seven schools with 700 wins and was sixth in all-time win percentage.  Third Texas is 7-1-1 against Alabama with all seven of those wins prior to the arrival of Mack Brown.  I can listen to an argument that Alabama is a better program than Texas but Texas has every right to be in that conversation.  More wins, more heismans, less NC's.

And the state of Texas has much higher amount of blue chip players, most of which UT has their pick from. UT has more money. UT has a better location. Alabama is top notch, but with equal coaching, it would be easier to win at UT.

Do you guys not realize that Florida is essentially in-state for Alabama? You are comparing the recruiting base of the state of Texas to the state of Alabama and that isn't the reality of how they recruit. Did you know that Alabama landed the #1 recruit from Texas? They also got the #1 from Alabama of course and top 5 recruits from Florida and Louisiana.

What are you talking about?  First, UT could buy the entire University of Alabama with the interest from their endowment.  Second prior to Mack Brown, UT was still one of seven schools with 700 wins and was sixth in all-time win percentage.  Third Texas is 7-1-1 against Alabama with all seven of those wins prior to the arrival of Mack Brown.  I can listen to an argument that Alabama is a better program than Texas but Texas has every right to be in that conversation.  More wins, more heismans, less NC's.

Did you really just start a sports conversation talking about endowments, on this board? Are you a phog plant? Endowments, are you kidding me? Talking about money is stupid anyway, it isn't like Alabama isn't spending all of the money they need in football. People keep talking about money like he's at Ole Miss or something. Alabama prints their own money too. Did you not get my Bill Gates/Carlos Slim reference earlier?

Also when did a I say that UT shouldn't be in the conversation as a better program? Pretty sure I said that it is a testament to what Deloss Dodds has done at UT that we can have this conversation.  Pre Dodds and Mack people were comparing UT to aTm and Pig Aggie, before Saban most people still viewed Alabama as the best program in America. Saban wasn't leaving Miami for Arkansas.

Saban wasn't leaving Miami for Arkansas.

I didn't start any conversation.  I responded to an ongoing discussion where you asked what Texas could provide that Alabama couldn't.  I was merely pointing out that the answer was a lot because of the amount of money they have and their willingness to spend it.  I thought you'd be able to deduce that but next time I'll be more clear.  I guess when you thought that Alabama had more wins and has been nationally relevant longer I should have known better.  And i'm not quite sure why you think talking about money is stupid.  It's a major driver in any coaches decision to take a different job.  Not necessarily the only one, but a major one.  Anyway, if Alabama is printing money, it's ones and fives while UT is printing fifties and hundreds.

Also, here's where you said that you don't think UT should be in the conversation or am I misinterpreting what you meant when you said

There is nothing that is measurable that shows that UT is a better program. Alabama has more titles, more wins, more coaches with national titles, has been nationally relevant longer,


UT historically before Mack Brown wasn't even considered a top 10 program

So you take back the endowment thing, fair enough.

Also for the third time now, not sure how you missed it the first two times but among those cut and pasted sentences I typed this

Texas has done a great job of making itself a big boy and the fact that this conversation is being had is a testament to how incredible Deloss Dodds was as an AD.

Its not a better job than Alabama, its not a top 5 historical program, but I'd concede that its the 2nd best job in the country. My issue with this whole argument is that some act like UT is a much better job and the only substantial advantage that could even be argued is Austin vs. Tuscaloosa.

Yeah, in 2006 Bama was not viewed as "The best program in america". They only had 1 natty and 4 SEC titles during the previous 25 years and were a laughingstock after the Franchione/price debacle.....If they were truly "The best program in america" why the eff would their coach leave them for aggy?

IMO Pre-Saban Bama was pretty much UCLA Hoops, tons of sucess under 1 coach but limited success after.

2. If Bill retired after the BWW, would you take Mack Brown for our HC?


2. YES ABSOLUTELY (CRAZY FACT: MACK IS ONLY LIKE 2 MONTHS OLDER THAN SABAN)


I think Currie should just go get Mack the day after he resigns and make him co-head coach with Bill at equal pay and benefits to what Bill is getting. Mack would have us in the national championship within 3 years.
LOL like Mack would work for Bill's peanut size salary.  :ROFL:

I imagine he was embarrassed to make more money than the guy who pretty consistently whooped his ass, that's most likely why he resigned at UT. Look for him to surface as a GA next year at K-State.

LHN is a big thing, I don't know if an SEC team would be able to do it too since the SEC as a conference has been working so hard for their own channel.  Which really shows how badly the Big 12 has failed as a conference too.  Sheer size of the AD is the big thing.  Revenue for UT is >30% bigger in 2012 which means a lot in the arms race of college athletics. 


But since Old Balls is in the business of handing out jobs to coaches who have been put out to pasture, lets work on a Mack for "advisor" position now.

Just saying that bama in 2006 was not thought of as the best job in america. In 1989 Bill Curry won the SEC and LEFT BAMA FOR KENTUCKY....In 2002 Franchoine finished the year at #11 then LEFT FOR AGGY.....This does not happen at "The best program in America".

Curry was about to get fired because he couldn't beat Auburn, bama fans didn't care about SEC championships. Fran left because they were under NCAA probation and had pretty severe scholarship limits. Fran also couldn't handle Alabama expectations, even with the probation.  A&M gave him an opportunity at an easier job but still at a highly regarded program.

I poke fun, but I think we all agree they are both very hard places to coach because of the fans and alums.  I would wager that Texas has a different kind of pressure though because of the political connections and wealthy alums associated with the University (Yes I'm assuming UT has more big shot, small dick, hear me roar alums).

And I hadn't noticed Shula's tenure being brought up (oh there on page 7), didn't realize he went 26-23 at Bama.  So its fair to say that both jobs have allowed people to stick around for too long.

That record for Shula was borderline miraculous considering what he had to deal with. He took over for Price after spring football after the hotel room whore scandal. They had NCAA sanctions and he was not at all ready for that job. If he didn't have those sanctions his first two years I doubt he wouldn't have gotten that much time.

I wonder how good of a coach Mike Price would have been there, WSU was hot garbage after he left. He was very good at Pullman but in retrospect he's looking Snyderesque.

They had NCAA sanctions and he was not at all ready for that job. If he didn't have those sanctions his first two years I doubt he wouldn't have gotten that much time.

I wonder how good of a coach Mike Price would have been there, WSU was hot garbage after he left. He was very good at Pullman but in retrospect he's looking Snyderesque.
correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Price was booted before he had a chance to really put his finger prints on the program?

lol at a team about to run a fairly recent Natty winning coach as an easier job.  I guess no UT fans are killing trees in City Park.

Since losing to Nick Saban and Alabama in the BCS Championship game Mack is 18-17 in conference. I think an Alabama fan would attempt to murk Saban or anyone else that had a 4 year run like that.
I poke fun, but I think we all agree they are both very hard places to coach because of the fans and alums.  I would wager that Texas has a different kind of pressure though because of the political connections and wealthy alums associated with the University (Yes I'm assuming UT has more big shot, small dick, hear me roar alums).

Correct, he never coached one game. I'm not sure what all went down but he was fired for spending $1000 at a strip club then charging it on his Alabama issued CC or something. I hope he at least got some free miles out of the deal.

Texas has done a great job of making itself a big boy and the fact that this conversation is being had is a testament to how incredible Deloss Dodds was as an AD.

Its not a better job than Alabama, its not a top 5 historical program, but I'd concede that its the 2nd best job in the country. My issue with this whole argument is that some act like UT is a much better job and the only substantial advantage that could even be argued is Austin vs. Tuscaloosa.

I'm not so sure you that Texas isn't a top 5 historical program.  I think you can make an argument for them at #4 or #5 depending on what criteria you're looking at in determining a top 5 program.  Again I can listen to the argument that Texas isn't a top 5 historical program but I'd need to see some evidence as to why they aren't. 

Here's my argument as to why they are a top 5 program.  They're second in all-time wins, fifth in win percentage, second in bowl game appearances, 106 out of 119 winning seasons and they have four national championships.  I think the most important categories in determining top programs are wins, win% and NC's.  Texas is top five in two out three of those categories.  How many other schools can say the same?

I agree. It has some merit, but right now a coach is going to look at which program is a top 5 program for resources to win, and Texas is definitely in that category.

I don't think Saban is going to get his ego stroked much more by winning another NC at Alabama. He's done enough there. And I think the challenge of going to another conference to win a national title could be enough to move him, and if he's going to do that, its hard to argue with opportunity that Texas presents. The other option right now would be USC, but I think UT tops USC.

For the record, I never said UT was the better "program" than Alabama (although I think it could be argued), only that it's a better coaching job. Those are two totally different things.

Mack has done one thing wrong, and that's QB recruitment.  Granted, that's an issue, but it's something that can be fixed with the right signing.

Otherwise, Texas has been fine.  They've won at least eight games each of their last three years, won a Holiday and Alamo bowl, and had Texas gotten the defense right earlier in the year, probably would be 9-3 or 10-2 right now.

Texas fans need to realize (but probably won't since the majority of them are casual t-shirt fans) that the only coach that even compares to Mack in their history is Darrell Royal, and Mack has a better winning percentage.

Texas is a good job because of the resources.  Not because it's like some sort of hallowed ground.

Agreed that QB is a big problem for Mack.  And maybe things would've been different if he had a good replacement for Colt McCoy.  But, past 4 years have been fairly mediocre by UT Standards.  18-17 in conference games and hadn't done well against OU. 

I think that a Top 5 coach would have more than 1 Title at UT over 16 seasons.  IMHO.  And I can't say this is an unrealistic expectation at a place like UT.

That's legit, but its also legit to think he may want to build and win national championships at another place, especially given he has no history of staying at one place very long.

yeah, the measurables all say Texas is the best job in cfb (money, recruiting base, facilities) but schools like OU and Alabama have out performed them and I believe it is due to the fact winning at the highest level means more in Tuscaloosa and Norman than it does in Austin.  When UT alums talk about winning within the rules it is more than just lip service - OU and Bama fans are much more "just win, baby"

Why do people keep saying he has nothing left to accomplish at Alabama? He is chasing the Bear, I'm really confused as why the same people who attack his ego then minimize what it would mean to win more championships at Alabama than the guy considered the greatest coach ever.

Chasing is different than catching.  Saban will never be held in the same aura as a Alabama football alum who coached for a quarter century and is a legend.  Winning more natty's at Bama won't change that.

Bear Bryant has been dead for 30 years and Nick already has a statue outside of the stadium.

Another 15 years and 160 wins at Bama and Saban will be close to the Bear.  Saban right now is just the guy that won three natty's in four years.  That's his legacy.

That's legit, but its also legit to think he may want to build and win national championships at another place, especially given he has no history of staying at one place very long.

And it was not meant as an attack on a coach's ego to say they want to feed their ego. Great coaches all have egos, what they use to feed them or stay motivated and challenged differs greatly, that's all I am saying.

He gets grief for job hopping but it needs to be said he has never made a lateral move. Not sure why he should be thoughtof as less for being so good at his job that people want to give him better jobs.
he bailed pretty hard on Miami - I guess that is still not a lateral move tho

 :dubious:

Year 2 under a new coach is usually when college football programs make a major step forward. Alabama made the leap from 7 wins to 12 wins in Saban's 2nd year. Also see Tressel at tOSU, Meyer at UF, or Stoops at OU if you need more proof.

Missouri was in the championship game because they are in the division that does not have Alabama, Auburn and LSU.  The same Missouri that went to the Big 12 championship game two out of their last four years in the conference.  So Missouri's success this year has nothing to do with what Nick Saban will do to the rest of the Big 12.

Texas being good is good for the Big 12. The Big 12 being good is also good for K-State. Nick Saban at Texas is good for K-State.

Texas being average in '11 and '12 seemed to be pretty good for K-State too...  :dunno:

Beating a BCS-worthy Texas may have gotten us a BCS bid in 2011.

We were 3 spots ahead of VT and 5 spots ahead of Mich in '11. Texas being average that year had little to nothing to do with that snub.

Shaw would be pretty good, I think. His biggest knock is he's never left the west coast (for college) but I think that's OK since Stanford really recruits nationally. Franklin may recruit Texas more? Not sure. I don't think Franklin's the bee's knees just yet.

Guess I'll have to settle for an internet mushing of everyone in 72 hours. We're wasting good time discussing whether or not they will have to go to their third choice because David Shaw may say no too.

Title: Re: Mack Brown
Post by: Michiganisstillgood on December 14, 2013, 09:52:45 PM
I would be hesitant to hire Shaw at a place like UT, all he's done is not run what Harbaugh built into the ground. Maybe he's a great coach, but I don't think there's enough data to give him this big of a job.


At least with Strong you know he's largely built his own program (along with being a successful coordinator).

Maybe Shaw turns out to be better down the road, but I don't see him as the sure fire home run that others do.

I would be hesitant to hire Shaw at a place like UT, all he's done is not run what Harbaugh built into the ground. Maybe he's a great coach, but I don't think there's enough data to give him this big of a job.


At least with Strong you know he's largely built his own program (along with being a successful coordinator).

Maybe Shaw turns out to be better down the road, but I don't see him as the sure fire home run that others do.

You do realize Shaw has done a better job with the program than Harbaugh did, right? And without Andrew Luck? He is a phenomenal coach. Not leaving Stanford for anywhere but the NFL though.

Read this earlier on Foxsports "Phil Fulmer was 152-52 in 16 seasons when Tennessee fired him. Since then, the Vols are 23-27 and now on their third different coach. (Fulmer was 29-21 in his final 50 games while Brown is 30-20. Really, the similarities between these two guys are insane)."

'Cept Tennessee never got their pick of the litter.

The LHN isn't at his disposal, not even close. Mack had multiple complaints about how intrusive it was, a college football coach isn't telling ESPN what to do. Also Texas has multiple billion dollar donors including the guy who has his name on the field and who is one of the most powerful attorneys in the country. At Bama he's swimming with bumpkins whose entire existence is Bammer Football. That isn't the case at UT, that coach has about a dozen bosses who are stone cold businessmen. This is why Mora is a bad fit, he's a hothead that can't play the political game necessary there.

Shaw, on the other hand, is a stud.

If I were UT, I'd be working the back channels with Pete Carroll, who I'm sure will be ready to foray back into the college game after he checks Super Bowl off the list this year.

He had more initial success, but he basically just took over what Harbaugh had built. He took over a 12-1 team and has had 3 consecutive 2 loss seasons. Which is good, but hard to say he has done a better job with the program, considering he's just treaded water with harbaugh's players and Harbaugh took over a 1-11 team when he started. Not to mention, Harbaugh took the 9'ers to the NFC champ game and then the Super Bowl, so he's proven himself.

Shaw also had Luck in 2011 so not sure what you're saying there. He may be phenomenal coach, I just don't think you give him the Texas Job until you see his results 4/5 years after Harbaugh's gone.

Mack complained about how intrusive LHN was because he was losing more than UT fans liked.  It was one part excuse and one part frustration that it was continually showing a "losing" team that fans weren't happy with.  He doesn't get to tell ESPN what to do, but he has an ESPN broadcasting crew in his backyard.  Weekly he would have sportscenter segments about some non-story or "A day in the life."  I think politics is an issue when you don't win, and he would win.  I think the multiple Billionaires is a plus for UT as it would tie him in with huge power brokers, so maybe we just have to agree to disagree on that (and all of this).

You idiots that even bring up sumlin are well....idiots, he has it in his contract that he can't go to texas

Good point, no coach has ever broken a contract to take another job. Would be unprecedented

Don't think it's really in his contract.

Uh no because he was recruiting them as DBs, his inability to identify a qb is why he now works for the LHN.

he went from Arkansas to Tulsa. (Weird circumstances, I know.) But still, Saban had five seasons at MSU and five at LSU. It's good to see what a coach can build on his own if you're at the level of Texas.

As Lord of Texas would hire Malzahn because I love his system and it I would like to be one of the outliers in the spread oriented Big 12.  Assuming I could hire Shaw (I don't think he leaves Stanford for UT) I still like Malzahn better because of his background in the South while all of Shaw's college exp has been on the west coast.

I think they will hire Strong if the emphasis on having a black coach is true.

well, to be fair, a Stanford education is a big carrot for recruits. it's a big reason why Stanford is able to recruit nationally. it's just that those recruits have to be smart enough to get into Stanford and that cuts your recruiting base down more significantly than at most public universities.

I went to a garage sale at Coach Z's house (former UMKC MBB coach) and he had probably 100+ warmup out fits and practice jerseys for sale, maybe 20 basketballs, and who knows how many other logo shirts. 

I bet Mack had a ton of that crap.


I bet he had a bunch of really random, but rare, treasures.  Like, I bet he had putters made from obscure materials, or like vintage guns that were fired at the Alamo, and stuff.  Maybe a lock of Darrell Royal's hair, or a mounted Jackalope.  Who knows?

Game balls from all kind of TX'ey games that were paid for by the school or NCAA and had signatures of his past players/coaches.  Stuff that would sell for a crazy amt at alumni auctions that he simply picked up on his way out of the office that night.

Rings paid for by others for winning a game that he got a bonus for playing in/winning too.

Jerseys, letters, videos, etc.

All stuff he got while also collecting his salary. 

Can you imagine?  doing your job, ppl thinking it is awesome and paying good money for random scraps/leftovers from that job. 

If I was a coach, I would fill my house with this crap and sell it off as needed to fund any whim I had during retirement.

You obviously never played on a single organized team that actually meant a crap to you.  None of that stuff had any monetary value to Mack, you know why, actually you rough ridin' don't.  It was priceless.  Considering this post, you don't have a single piece of memorabilia to your name that is worth anything, to anyone.

I have a million things from my playing days, they are not worth crap monetarily.  To me, they are the world and more.  Don't bring this crap here and now.  There are things more valueable and important than money, you piece of crap.  This is a rant about someone who I feel for, who lost something that is more important than money, memories and passion.  Go ahead and say it was worth money to sell, for anyone who has been apart of something special or bonding, like sports, this is if you were robbed of everything you own.

I went to a garage sale at Coach Z's house (former UMKC MBB coach) and he had probably 100+ warmup out fits and practice jerseys for sale, maybe 20 basketballs, and who knows how many other logo shirts. 

I bet Mack had a ton of that crap.


I bet he had a bunch of really random, but rare, treasures.  Like, I bet he had putters made from obscure materials, or like vintage guns that were fired at the Alamo, and stuff.  Maybe a lock of Darrell Royal's hair, or a mounted Jackalope.  Who knows?

A jar containing Chris Simms appendix, an old index card reminding him to put Major Applewhite in the game and nine five-star recruits he accidentally misplaced over the years that got boxed up in the move.

Game balls from all kind of TX'ey games that were paid for by the school or NCAA and had signatures of his past players/coaches.  Stuff that would sell for a crazy amt at alumni auctions that he simply picked up on his way out of the office that night.

Rings paid for by others for winning a game that he got a bonus for playing in/winning too.

Jerseys, letters, videos, etc.

All stuff he got while also collecting his salary. 

Can you imagine?  doing your job, ppl thinking it is awesome and paying good money for random scraps/leftovers from that job. 

If I was a coach, I would fill my house with this crap and sell it off as needed to fund any whim I had during retirement. 

Kid get married and now your yacht isn't big enough?  eff it, I would sell Vince's cleats and the pic I took with Ricky when we first brought him to campus for a visit.

You obviously never played on a single organized team that actually meant a crap to you.  None of that stuff had any monetary value to Mack, you know why, actually you rough ridin' don't.  It was priceless.  Considering this post, you don't have a single piece of memorabilia to your name that is worth anything, to anyone.

I have a million things from my playing days, they are not worth crap monetarily.  To me, they are the world and more.  Don't bring this crap here and now.  There are things more valueable and important than money, you piece of crap.  This is a rant about someone who I feel for, who lost something that is more important than money, memories and passion.  Go ahead and say it was worth money to sell, for anyone who has been apart of something special or bonding, like sports, this is if you were robbed of everything you own.

They're just things, good grief

Anybody want to buy the pair of shoes I was wearing when the 3x All American and Olympian decided to suplex me? I'm saving the other pair for a fattyfest auction item (they're the shoes I was wearing both times PurpleBear4 and I squared off in high school).

Guys, in light of the tragic fire which consumed Mack's prized sports memorabilia collect here in the state of NC last week, it has occurred to me that Mack will now be consumed with dieing a broken man. The solution to this is to come be a co-headcoach/stud boss with Snyder.

Is this cause/effect relationship a reality? I think it might be.

Mack Brown:  Official guy who greets, talks, texts, emails, tweets, facebooks and all other forms of interaction with recruits for Kansas State Football.   

Don't bother AHCMB (Associate Head Coach Mack Brown) he's currently keeping up with the youngsters by listening to a long list of popular rap and hip-hop songs.   Is Mack involved in any actual coaching?   :lol:  Oh you funny, funny man.

I think ku and Zenger would be fools not to strongly consider Mack.   He wants to coach again, and I think wherever he lands he'll do well.   He overstayed his time at Texas, and I suspect coaching at that place after the run he had (.831 winning % between 1996 and 2009, with '96 and '97 being at UNC) was draining, sometimes you just got to walk away and on to something else.   

 I laugh at K-State people who rag on Mack. 

 He could give any program a fantastic five or six years.  Put good coaches around him, set up a HCIW situation 3 or 4 years in and turn Mack loose on the handshake and hugs circuit and let him work his magic.   KU fans won't get apoplectic if Mack isn't signing the top class in the country every year, and he'll only have to kiss a few Texas high school coaches ass instead of all of them, and also be recruiting in areas that require a little less ass kissing.   

Lawd knows that Mack alone could recruit circles around that bunch we have.   This isn't a Coach Hov-a-Round scenario.  IMO Mack's pissed and he wants to prove that he still has it.    Handled in the right way Mack could give KU a really nice five or six plus year run and he has proven he can get facilities built.   He got UNC, a basketball school to spend the unheard of amount at the time of $50 million on the Kenan Football Center in the mid-90's.    When he got to Texas their facilities overall were pretty mediocre and he got them improved significantly.

Mack Brown.  Highest Winning % ever at Texas in the previous 80 years and 11 coaches, and that includes DKR.

Mack beat the two coaches that proceeded him by 20 percentage points.

Why do idiots think any-old-buddy can walk into a program like Texas and win?   

Mack almost single-handily turned Texas Football into the financial super power that it is today.   With the full understanding that money discussion as it relates to time period is relative.   But before Mack got there, Texas athletics, while well heeled, wasn't some athletic financial super power.    Yes they had a sizable budget, but it was like $18-20 million a year in 1994, and they just barely broke even.    Mack Brown catapulted them into highest gross revenue producing athletic department in the country to the tune of $160 million plus a year.   No AD needs ED medicine/hormonal augmentation if his/her wife/husband whispers those kind of sweet nothings into their ear.

if you were Mack and the only thing you ever saw Ron do was The Stomp, you'd think he was a great person too

Seeing how good Mack is in the booth really shows how shitty Bobby was doing basketball.

Mack in the studio is great.  I bet the camera man didn't even have to snap his fingers like a child photographer to get him to look at the right cam like they did with Bobby. 


That story of Mack getting trolled by John Saunders when Saunders was wearing his champ ring and Macky couldn't find it.  :lol:

I love how Mack had basically reached the pinnacle of college football coaching and is now perfectly cool with being part of some lousy, lower tier broadcast team.

That is fantastic, it made my day. Luckily he discovered Mack was in the uber before he started talking about butter teeth.

I can see it now. UNC gets off to a roaring 8-1 start in Mack's first year back. Late in the season, UNC is ranked #11 and Clemson comes to Kenan Stadium. There is hope in the air. It's palpable. Optimism not seen in Chapel Hill in a long, long time. GameDay is there for probably the first time ever, and there's just something different about this day. A UNC player was gutsy enough at Tuesday's presser to guarantee victory, and by God, it may just happen. In the lockerroom before the game, Mack gives what proves to be his most fiery, inspirational pre-game speech since the National Championship game. His players CANNOT be contained. They erupt in cheers and charge out of the lockerroom onto the field amidst an uncontainable roar of 60,000+ chowder blue-clad Heels faithful. Mack trails behind the team, and is so excited himself that he tries his best to keep up. Runs two steps out of the lockerroom, trips on edge of sidewalk. Falls. Breaks nose. Heels lose 72-3.

Week 1 noted that UNC was vastly more physical then they had been under Mack 2.0

Stay tuned . . .

If Mack would have stayed at UT they would have won another title by now.

I think it's pretty obvious that the problem at UT (that still exists) had nothing to do with Mack Brown.
