May 15, 20196 yr I've said it once and I'll say it again: I'm fucking giddy about this. It puts off the inevitable "Welcome Home, Mack" day at DKR for at least another 5 years. Fuck. Mack. Brown.

That's almost a decade that he put no effort into recruiting. I don't really consider that "in the end." Ask Robert Griffin and Johnny Manziel how Mack Brown was recruiting in 2007 and 2010 respectively.

May 15, 20196 yr I never really appreciated that Mack's teams were generally smart (they didn't do all kinds of dumb shit), played special teams at a high level, and kept composure in close games until the Strong era happened.

Easy to keep the score close for the last minute win when you're running a Greg Davis offense.

He was pretty damn good at clock mgmt also. he got lazy on recruiting, specifically at QB/OL, and it was all downhill from there. he probably could have ridden it out to the finish line, if he hadn't tried to force the O to change, but once Baylor, TCU, OSU started kicking his ass it was over.
May 15, 20196 yr It’s being reported on another board that Hornsby is going to commit to UNC later today.

Besides those, USC in the Rose Bowl and tOSU in the Fiesta Bowl. Even his biggest last possession loss (TT in Lubbock) would have been a win if he and Colt had managed the clock better. Start running that play clock down to 4 or 5 seconds after we cross midfield and Tech gets the ball with less time than the :19 USC had in 2006. Last possession wins (not including victory formation wins): 1998 - OSU and NU and A&M 1999 - NU and ISU* and Rice* (late loss to NC State was on a blocked punt return) 2000 - 2001 - Washington 2002 - KSU (but a loss to Tech) 2003 - KSU and Tech 2004 - KU (BC$ limp mic game) and Michigan 2005 - tOSU and USC 2006 - NU (I thought the Tech game was one, but the winning score was early in the 4th Q) 2007 - OSU 2008 - Tech loss...ugh and tOSU 2009 - NU (the OU win was another one my selective memory forgot was early in the 4th Q) 2010 - 2011 - BYU (middle of the 4th, but I'm writing the rules on this one) and A&M 2012 - OSU and KU* and Oregon State 2013 - ISU and WVU (late FG to tie, then won in OT) *lulz That's 24 wins and 3 losses, if I'm doing this right. It's late, but I think that is better than the 5:1 ratio I predicted earlier. FUPM may have mailed it in his last 7-8 years, but he did one thing right from start to finish.

May 16, 20196 yr Yes. You are right about the endgame exploits. But you left one thing out. Fuck. Mack. Brown.
May 16, 20196 yr Best part about Mack Brown being the UNC coach is the LHN seemingly stopped airing that cringe worthy UT Golf club commercial with Mack Browns VO. If I heard him pronounce “Casitas” one more time I may have gone mentally insane Edited May 16, 20196 yr by perfectchaos007

May 16, 20196 yr I get irrationally angry when I hear that fucker talkI get that, but still watched that thing. He seems to have lost his passive/aggressive defensiveness he had during his last years on the 40..much more relaxed at NC.At least now we don't have to hear him calling games, doing pre-game shows and endlessly repetitive commercials on LHN.

I'm guessing we'll see snippy, stare-down-the-reporter, thin skinned Mack after Clemson and others have been pushing his shit in for a while. I'm guessing year three.
May 16, 20196 yr You know Diaz if given chance could be up by 50 with two seconds to go and try to score. Got to be a bit of hate there.

Granted, for a seven-figure salary, you gotta deal with that shit sometimes.

May 24, 20196 yr Used Car Salesman is cranking out PR on ESPN http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/26753859/mack-brown-back-unc-run-program Mack Brown is back at UNC. Can he still run a program?
May 24, 20196 yr So much hate for Mack. He wasn’t perfect. He got beat too much and too badly by OU. He mailed it in after 2009. But he brought Texas back to being a top program. He had skills. Believe it or not, it is not completely inconceivable that he could have them in the playoff before Texas. Likely, no. Possible, yes.

June 4, 20196 yr Mack had his knee replaced by former player: Dr. Michael Bolognesi -- who played defensive back for Brown from 1989 to 1993 -- said the surgery won't affect the coach's summer schedule. He was discharged later Monday afternoon.
June 4, 20196 yr Sounds like FYPM MBTF is still waiting for the testicle transplant to come through... I'm waiting to hear from the surgeon how much wear and tear came from Mack's killing himself on the recruiting trail.

June 4, 20196 yr All I know is that I have been alive since the 80s and Mack Brown is the only coach to bring a national championship to Texas during my lifetime.

This is pretty much my thoughts. People say he sucked then compare his later teams to his CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM/BCS BOWL TEAMS. Every great coach typically mails it in at some point or gets to complacent followed by bitterness. Landry was terrible his last few years of coaching. Jimmy Johnson didn't win anything in Miami. Bobby Bowden hung on to long. Carr at Michigan was long overdue. Don Shula didn't get a whole lot done the last 9 years of his coaching career. The list can go on and on.
