December 29, 2024Dec 29 There is only one side of this that WILL be petty and it WONT be the University of Texas. He fucked it up on the way out and then we doubled down on stupid and are just back to square. Mack needs to move on and so do we.

Shouldn't be too hard to make it work out for everyone involved so long as everyone behaves.

He is 72 and been a head coach for more than half his adult life and he didn't know? This is not a person you want around a program anymore. He has no ability or humility to be like David McWilliams.

Amazing that the first words out of Mack's mouth are about how college football is such a mess right now, right after he was fired and replaced by BB. I bet if he was playing Wednesday he wouldn't think it's a mess. College football is absolutely a fucking mess right now. Uncapped pay with unlimited free agency is ruining the sport. 4 hours ago, dcar00 said: I'm guessing the plan was to retire in NC, near old friends UNTIL UNC fucking stole his cookies and hired the GOAT. He can't be "Head Coach Emeritus" in that situation so the only other option is Austin. the guy is transparent as fuck. He's gonna start sticking his fucking nose in places it don't belong. The dude just can't fucking let go and wants to be celebrated. He will never be DKR. If he and Sally wanted to retire in Austin fine. Just move here and don't "announce" anything. There is no upside in this and only downside. So I have a buddy who owns a company here in town. Mack and Sally were a customer before he left for NC, but my buddy only dealt with Sally and didn't know who the fuck they were because the paper work was always Sally and William Brown. My buddy isn't a UT guy, so the name Sally Brown just never stood out to him.They left for NC and no longer needed the service, so they cancelled. My buddy gets a call a few weeks ago and Sally tells him they are moving back and would like to work with my buddy's company again. My buddy offloads the call to a guy that works for him, and this guy also doesn't recognize the names William and Sally Brown. Sally tells this guy they are moving back from a stint at UNC, and he replies that it's too bad they won't be around chapel hill for the Belichick era. Sally pauses for a second and says....."yeah that's who replaced my husband." At that point, the light bulb turned on. lulz.
December 29, 2024Dec 29 What’s Mack’s current/living base right now? Maybe Rowling and that’s it? Eltife knows better. CDC sure as hell does too. I wouldn’t offer him shit. If half of the shit the surly mods said about him are true, he shouldn’t be permitted 500 yards from the University. As I’ve theorized before, he’s a greedy fuck that still needs money somehow. Hopefully FOX/Big Ten gives him something so we don’t have to see him on ESPN all the time.

December 29, 2024Dec 29 Popular Post Love Bobby, and I love you too, @immamac, but count me in on Team Bob here. Mack needs to go find something else to fuck up. We JUST got our program straightened after he did to it what we did to ShaggyBevo -- shit all over it on the way out. So what if he won a national title? Scat porn is the more recent memory and more relevant to our current situation.

Not a lot of people disagree about him needing to move on, but a lot of people didn't think the way it went down was the right way, and in hindsight it definitely wasn't. Mack Brown didn't fucking cause the last decade in the wilderness claiming he's the direct cause of it is beyond bogus. If anything it proved how dysfunctional and stupid the AD was post Dodds until CDC Eltife got in lockstep and serious about athletics. It was an excellent interview from a guy that has been around CFB for a very very long time and has seen the landscape change. He can call whichever AD in the country he wants, not for a job, but just to talk and there are very very few people that can do that. Fuck. You. Stick to computers because your opinions suck.

Of course he would never admit it; he was careful to say the right things when pouring poison in your ears and complaining in a passive aggressive way about the unfair expectations and how darn hard it was to be the coach at Texas. But if you gave him truth serum, I guaran-damn-tee he would admit that he thinks he could coach circles around DKR, Sark, everyone else, that his name should be added to the stadium, and he should have an office next to Sark to provide "advice."

December 29, 2024Dec 29 Popular Post I'm disappointed to read anyone supports Mack returning to the program in any form besides a fan who purchases his own ticket. As many have said, you should always measure risk vs. reward. The reward....maybe he helps NIL fund raising and completely reverses his personality from who we learned he was and adds positive morale? The risks are too numerous to count, the chief being that his ego can't stand someone else looking better than him and he will passive aggressively (or just aggressively behind the scenes) do little things to start the rot on Sark's program. Super worst case, he pulls the Jay Leno in hopes that Texas asks him to coach again after Sark. Mack was outstanding at recruiting from 1999-2008 and the conservative coaching style was enough for superior talent to win 10 games a year. His inability to beat OU created the national perception that Texas is a paper tiger that persists today and will until we win another championship and beat top 10 teams on the reg. He gets way too much credit for the one national championship, when his contributions were 1) being talked into recruiting VY when he initially didn't want to, and 2) "letting Vince be Vince" aka not fucking it up. VY was the outlier. Mack got lazy in recruiting or the rest of the world caught up, and the wheels fell off. Then he torched the place on his way out the door. He wasn't a martyr for whom fans should feel sorry. He probably made over $30m while coaching and we paid him $3.25m when we fired him. We owe him nothing.
