Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo

So he did the psychological manipulation thing -  threaten to leave so everyone begs him to stay. Sounds like Mack.

  • He actively shit on Texas on the way out, trying to prevent good coaches to come here and told recruits to go somewhere else, all to make himself look better. Do you really think he wants Sark to win

  • He's been a petulant cunt at NC over the last few months and they told him to get lost. He hasn't changed and shouldn't be anywhere around the program.

    He wrote “Fuck you, pay me,” didn’t he.

73? Wow - time to retire. (Not the score score, his age.)

Mack’s quest to become the oldest head coach to give up more points than his age will not rest. 

Quote from the ESPN article.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/41399980/north-carolina-mack-brown-overwhelmingly-supported-players

Brown has a reputation for taking losses particularly hard, something he'd promised his wife, Sally, he would improve upon when he returned to UNC in 2019 after 16 seasons coaching Texas (1998-2013). However, he said he has struggled to change his stripes.

 

———————

Get back up and fight you fucking pussy!

 

Mack will tell the kids that "We can't let 1 loss become 2 and that we're excited to play Duke.  What a great rivalry for the state of North Carolina and the coaches here."

Come on now.  UNC held James Madison to 20 points in the second half.  That’s something to build off of.

All their season goals are still on the table and what not.  
 

They should have made “do not get blasted at home by a school that nobody  even knew had a football team” as a season goal.

So Dan Patrick mentioned Mack thought about retiring and then changed his mind.  On brand

When no one said, "No, Mack, please don't retire!", he had to walk it back out of spite.

Mack just needs to transition the team to a power running offense.

Especially when nearly all of North Carolina high school football has already moved past it. 

When you look over there at Duke with their Blue Devil and Maalik Murphy, it just scares you to death. 

I've always liked our rivals. I would never say anything bad about Duke.

Another disgusting turn of events. Mack makes a statement to his team. Inside Carolina reports it. Mack and UNC’s SID get pissed.  Mack claws it back the next day. Still moving goal posts like it’s 2013.

Just give me three years to get this program on track, the way we all know it should be and can be.

 

 

 

It would not not surprise me if Mack doesn’t not get to go out on his own terms.
Exactly what will happen. Now that the lockerroom comments are public, what recruit worth a shit is going to sign up for that shitshow? Whatever goodwill Mack had at UNC is used up now.

Pre edit- they may allow him to make it look like a retirement.

Mack is beyond the money though.  Some of this is just about ego.  
 

and now obligatory “I Don’t want Bob Chesney to win it all with my players!!”

But, is it? Ten years ago, I really felt that Mack, for all his talk about looking for a high point to leave on, really didn’t want to go from $5.5 M per year for coaching to $1.5 m per year for emeritus status and some broadcasting. Would you? He ended up getting a buyout (low eight figures), I believe  

For all that we can say, “He has made plenty and ought to be set”, how can any of us make that decision for him? Not knowing anything, the correct play for UNC is to assume he believes he needs the money, and to not assume any benevolence or generosity.

Mack Brown has exactly one talent in life, and that’s salesmanship. He’s an elite bullshit artist and can recruit enough talent to (mostly) overcome his complete inability to coach football. He’s also a narcissist who would burn a program to the ground rather than watch another coach succeed in his place, imo.

You’re right.  I’d guess it’s a little bit of both.  Sally did really well in life though.  They rich but yes money is money

Some interesting commentary on Mack. I don't think papa Shipley is a fan.

Mack is close to passing Saban for most wins by a college coach. He only needs 12 or 13 more wins. When Mack realized how close he was, he told UNC he was coming back even if it takes 5 years to get enough wins to pass Saban. 

Sometimes you just have to burn a program to the ground to set a personal record and receive pointless accolades.

THAT is the level of pettiness we've come to love and expect from FYPM Mack.  I'm sure after he stumbles his way into that in another season or two he'll crow all about it as if he and Saban are in the same league.  They're not even on the same planet.

Maybe he crows a bit too loudly and Saban heads to Chapel Hill to go 20-4 in two seasons right after Mack retires following a 4-8 debacle.

I believe this is an extremely accurate representation of Mack Brown. 
 

 

he’s an amazing salesman who can recruit like mad. However, when his players’ talent << his coaching talent (which isn’t much to speak of) he (and the program) is in bad trouble.

I am wrapping up a grad certificate program from McCombs this week. As a long-suffering UNC football fan, can I jump on the Texas bandwagon? I think I’ve endured enough misery over the years. Thanks for your consideration

He is seven wins behind Saban at year’s start. He is 38 behind Bryant. Robinson and Paterno are past Bryant. It might be just Saban that he’s chasing.

It would be hilarious if he kept going until he passed both Saban for all-time wins and his brother Watson for all-time losses.

I hope Duke shitpumps NC and there are around a hundred sideline shots of Mack looking lost and bewildered.

If they fired him, what are the odds he goes to Tulane next? It’s like he’s Benjamin Buttoning his own career reliving his greatest hits…

1983 Appalachian State

1985–1987 Tulane

1988–1997 North Carolina

1998–2013 Texas 

2019–2024? North Carolina

Lucky for those kids, he's already handled the "winning too much isn't good for them" part. He's just looking out for their best interests.

Mack used to be a great recruiter. He isn't anymore because he is a lazy sonofabitch. He has no motivation to change. He's rich. He has more money than he'll ever spend.

That VY national championship ruined him. He has been coasting, and an utter dickhead, ever since.

Yep. I thought that VY championship would be the beginning of a great run at UT, but Mack put his feet up and mailed it in. He was satisfied with that one title. After that, he was just stealing Texas' money.

Mack struck gold with Colt McCoy, who deserves most of the credit for those years. Mack was still pretty much coasting during that time, IMO.

C’mon, man, Texas got jobbed out of playing for one title and lost another due to injury in consecutive years. It wasn’t all about McCoy. Be real.

Coastin?  You don’t uncover gems like Braden Johnson, Dustin micksch, Clint Haney, etc by mailing it in. 
 

 

 

 

I’ll challenge “Mack is a great recruiter.” Commentary.  Maybe he was in his prime but recruiting at Texas isn’t really that hard
