October 14, 20241 yr It’s amazing that the best coaching Mack ever did was when he decided to get out of the way and not coach in about 2004. Just let Vince be Vince on the field, let the “black kids” listen to their rap music, etc….
October 16, 20241 yr I dunno if Mack has the mindset to be able to hang 'em up, smile, wave, and bask in whatever good will is left. Reminds me of one of Ron White's lines: "They told me I had the right to remain silent, but I didn't have the ability." Mack knows that the "right thing" is to admit that being a football Head Coach is beyond the faculties he still has, at his age, and urge the 'Heels to start a youth movement. He does know this, but I suspect his ego will get the better of him, and despite pleas and good intentions from everyone around him, he'll make them fire him. I kinda wish he'll go on his own, dignity intact. I kinda feel like I could forgive him for the way he left here. Kinda, but... no. Fuck Mack
October 16, 20241 yr Fame is a drug. A lot of famous folks will fight to the bitter end to retain it. Mack is one of those folks.

October 30, 20241 yr "Mac Brown Mbah Mbanwei" has stabbed a fellow 18 y/o Manor high school student. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/manor/atcems-one-student-dead-after-alleged-stabbing-at-manor-senior-high-school/ Crazy. Stupid kids. An 18-year-old student was charged with murder after a fellow Manor Senior High School student died from a stabbing Tuesday, Manor officials said. Manor Police said the victim, Darrin Loving, 18, was “stabbed in the chest.” The suspect, identified as Mac Brown Mbah Mbanwei, 18, was arrested and charged with murder and was being held at the Travis County Jail. Police said the suspect used a kitchen knife as the weapon. The stabbing did not happen in a classroom, according to police. Police believe the suspect and victim knew each other. Officers were dispatched to the high school, located at 14832 N FM 973, for a reported aggravated assault, the release said. A Manor ISD spokesperson said the stabbing happened after an altercation between two students. That name though

November 21, 20241 yr We all know what Mack is doing, I can’t blame him. I also don’t really see the point in firing him, they should’ve only given him 3 or 4 year contract and made a good Will Muschamp style plan to move on. How many years left on his deal? Don’t believe he will be there 2026 right?

November 21, 20241 yr You can't say he's being inconsistent, that is for sure. Always the same, always about more money. That famous FUPM picture is the first thing I think of.

I appreciate mocking Mack Brown's behavior at the end of his time at Texas as much as the next guy. That said, North Carolina isn't Texas. They have nowhere near the expectations for their football program that Texas has. Nor should they. Outside of inventing the forward pass and Lawrence Taylor, Mack Brown is about the best thing UNC can claim in terms of breathing life into their program. UNC isn't even complete shit this season. They're 6-4, above their historic mean, and they close out with 5-5 BC and 5-5 NC State plus a middling bowl. They could finish 6-7, but they could also finish 9-4. Anything near the latter and their fans are happy. 2 hours ago, JGrayDBU said: You can't say he's being inconsistent, that is for sure. Always the same, always about more money.

He could eclipse 300 next season. He has 3 more games to coach this season and then a full and weak schedule in 2025. In the OOC, they host TCU, at Charlotte, Richmond, at UCF. That's anywhere between 2-2 and 4-0 with the latter being as likely as anything. In conference is Charmin soft, with only hosting Clemson being a visible, top of the ACC challenge. It's not hard to see them going 10-4/9-4 if they figure out QB. UNC is recruiting better than anyone in the ACC besides the top 3-4 teams.

UNC is recruiting better than anyone in the ACC besides the top 3-4 teams. I agree that NC’s expectations aren’t the same as ours. But to me, it’s about entitlement. Mack acts like he hasn’t been appropriately compensated for his work. He’s been paid millions and millions of dollars and mostly been celebrated by the fans of Texas and North Carolina. He gets way more credit nationally for his coaching than he should, and he still believes he should decide when it’s time to retire, not the people who have paid him millions. This isn’t Pop Warner football and a Coach Emeritus (which is what Mack became here) is not deserving of millions of dollars. Go catch intramurals, brother! Just glad he’s their problem now.

November 21, 20241 yr Will Muschamp’s head coaching career has been an unmitigated disaster and likely to never resurface. Not saying anything would have been different…but you have to wonder if it would be different if he spent a couple more years in the HCIW position…

We didn't know this at the time when we were pumped about his HCIW designation, but he's turned out to be more of a Charlie Strong/maybe a coordinator kind of coach. I'm not sure if he stuck it out at Texas a couple more years and then took over for Mack we and Will would be in any different places.

Maybe more David McWilliams, based on his Florida record. A couple of mediocre winning seasons. He also had one 11 win season putting Florida in the Sugar bowl that year where they lost to Louisville coached by Charlie Strong. Shit, never mind, just forget everything I just said.
November 21, 20241 yr I mean - I wouldn’t voluntarily leave my cushy job until I had a better job lined up or they asked/told/paid me to leave.
November 21, 20241 yr hugely unpopular opinion: i hated (still hate) mack brown’s locker room post game speech after the NC. hated it. it was wholly emblematic of why he needed literally the greatest player and winner in college football history (plus the greatest recruiting class ever) to finally win his first *conference* title of his career; emblematic of why more ruthless coaches (like bowden and stoops) would own him; emblematic of why his teams were so soft until VY made mack brown get the fuck out of the way and let him take over. mack was always so goddamn concerned, or really obsessed, with everyone being great people and fathers and neighbors and sons that it’s led to him wildly underachieving as a head coach who’s one of the all time great recruiters. his team just won the greatest game of all time and all he’s thinking about is downplaying that accomplishment, and instead focusing on how everybody needs to have character and be great men and great community leaders and fathers in the future. totally fucking tone deaf, and 100% emblematic of why he didn’t win nearly as much as he should have. i think he’s a great guy, but his obsession with everyone being great people and inability to be ruthless as a leader held back some amazingly talented teams from reaching their goals and potential.
