Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo

I was definitely wrong about some things. I thought Gilbert was going to be good. Sims, Applewhite, Young, Colt, and even Chance Mock were good. Why would Mack and GDGD suddenly not know how to recruit and coach QBs? I will never know. I also was completely caught by surprise when the special teams, in the past a strength, went to total shit seemingly overnight. Nobody could catch a punt in 2010. How can nobody be able to catch a punt? Who saw that coming? I guess CTJ did, I didn't.

But not on the deterioration of the offensive line. What drove me nuts about the offensive line is even though this was an obvious problem and obviously the worst position on the team after 2005 Mack did nothing about it and in fact kept talking like there was no problem at all. Even called McWhorter the best coach in the country at one point to my astonishment. At first I had confidence that Mack would fix it but gradually it dawned on me that Mack just wasn't going to do shit until it actually started to make him lose. So I guess in retrospect if he was like that about one part of the team, who knows what else he was slacking on?

  • 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.  

  • South Austin

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

One of Mack's greatest strengths after salesmanship is scheduling.  Guy was a chickenshit because we played in "the toughest conference in CFB"

Even though I criticize Mack for many things, scheduling was not one of them. He understood the college football political pond that UT was swimming in and scheduled accordingly, There are too many lazy overpaid sportswriters in this State waiting for a reason to rank down UT. Same with college football coaches. If you think that playing a hard schedule will win their respect. Think again.

I remember numerous posts about the Melton, Colt class being damn near a homerun and saving Mack’s hide. Posts laughing at Muschamp pointing out Texas wasn’t as talented as one would think.  Did you make all of them? You are amazing!!!!

I remember you leading the charge and being ridiculed for it. But lots of posters wondered how a converted WR was our starting RB in 2008. There was nothing behind Blaine Irby. When Mack shifted the offensive philosophy in 2010, that didn’t go over well with the majority. The Rice game shocked a lot of people.

Allegedly both Chizik and Will thought the talented was less than expected.  

More Mack stuff:

  • I can imagine Mack shutting out the money but I think most of the money thought "Mack doesn't tell me how to do my job and I won't tell him how to do his." 
  • Rumors that Mack wasn't happy with Will getting so much credit for the defensive turnaround.
  • The money actually called Mack's bluff when he said "if Greg goes, I go."

Not about winning their respect.  We had one maybe two marquee games, sack up and schedule someone with a pulse.  Even Mackovic had the stones to do that.  Mack and his sycophants loved to tout "9 win seasons" because he couldn't win the conference.

Not really. He punched down just fine and then famously “got a ring” for all of the apologists and Lake Travis honks to point to, but beating up a bunch of midgets as a “can’t miss” five star isn’t anything to debunk his bust status at Texas and reveal the fact that he was overrated and sucked.

I do specifically remember Dan Buckner. That dude was such a scrub and I remember how I couldn't figure out how it was he was starting for us.

The curse has come full circle to bite Mack in the ass.

I don't know why someone that is Mack's age would want to deal with modern college football. I'm sure that he has more than enough money to retire. 

just dropped by the thread to say

lolololol9lolol

This is the game that officially broke me. I wasn’t mad, I wasn’t surprised, but I when I have no emotion, I know I am fucking broken. After 40+ years, I am done with Carolina football.

Ego and he thinks he can go out on top / his terms

Mack wants to justify his method of coaching and will hang on as long as possible to prove it. Once he passes Nick Saban in wins, he will step down then ask Carolina to put his name on their stadium. (BTW,  Mack would have done the same thing at Texas had he passed Coach Royal in wins) Just checked out some UNC boacds and the piticforks are out for Mack.

I didn’t bother to check. Did he force UNC to change their url to www.Mack brown-north Carolina football.com?

Because he's so thin-skinned, anxious, and egomaniacal to let himself not be "the center of attention of college football" - at least in his mind.   

That Florida State v. North Carolina game is looking like a great matchup. Who wins when it's a stoppable force v. a moveable object? Maybe Mack Brown can finally beat Florida State. 

Have not watched any UNC games.  I’m just guessing here so please verify:  UNC is playing a lot of players (with great parents) in September that will soon be dentists and stockbrokers and Mack will start playing the better, younger players (who also have great parents) in mid-October due to said better players throwing up in locker room before games?

Is there a young dc to throw overboard?

Mack should have kept Chizik around for one more year to throw him under the bus, but Mack already did that to Chizik last year.

He hired the guy who was fired from the head job at Georgia Tech, Geoff something or other. Not looking too good for him, either.

He’s 10 wins behind Saban. He ain’t getting that this year. Not sure he’ll survive at UNC that long.

If he wants that record he’s going to have to go to a G5 program.

Saban: 28 seasons, 297-71-1, 19-12 in bowls .806.   (also saw a list that had him at 292-71-1, 297 came from SportsReference.com)

Brown: 35 seasons, 279-146-1, 14-12 in bowls .656 winning percentage   (also saw one list had him with 282-149-1, 279 came from SportsReference.com)

 

I guess no matter which is the correct number their careers are not really that close.

Maybe he can go to UTSA and Traylor can go to UNC.  He can add on to his time-in-service in the UT system and go relax wherever that old LHN and Mack Brown commercial was talking about.  I heard that commercial dozens of times but finally got it out of my head.  Either way - Traylor to UNC and Brown to UTSA.  For the lulz.

He'd be much closer if he hadn't shit the bed against OU so many times.

If he would have never lost to OU and would have won the 1999 and 2001 conference championship games, plus the 2013 Baylor game that was a defacto conference championship, Mack Brown would have 1 more win than Saban and more than twice as many conference titles. All on him.

One site only counts FBS wins. Mack was head coach of App State for a season while they were still in FCS so it doesn’t count those. The other site only updates after each season. To date Mack is 10 wins behind Saban in college football wins (all divisions).

Thanks Mack!

All those wins wouldn’t have been good for the kids

That’s what I was figuring but, it was late and I was tired.  👍

Well, this then is the perfect scenario for us (Pitt) to go down to Chapel Hill this weekend and fuck up a perfect storm. Shit. Pitt Happens, it's what we do. 

Nobody circles the wagons holes up in his bunker surrounded by sycophants and yes men like the fightin' Mack Browns. 

Hey, Tarheels, everything you need to know can be summed up in just four words:

Charlie Strong is available.
