December 29, 2024Dec 29 Are yall forgetting that Mack stayed in Austin and was even given some bullshit title for 4+ years after he was fired? He had no power then and will have even less now. He's an old man who wants to be patted on the head.
December 29, 2024Dec 29 Mack: “I want to get involved with the game. I want to stay involved with the game. I love the coaches.” It sure sounds like he wants to become part of what Sark is building here if ESPN/Fox doesn’t return his calls to be on TV.

December 30, 2024Dec 30 The first thing Mack wants to do he said when he gets back to Austin is to socialize again with old pals Dodds and "CDC." It's pretty plain to see what is going on. Mack is moving back to Austin because he is totally irrelevant in Chappel Hill. He was not only fired, but was replaced by someone that is totally is sucking the oxygen out of that place. Mack's ego can't stand that. He is coming back to Austin to try and restore his relevance again in some way, with people that can help him do that. This ends in either he gets some kind of cushy deal with UT, or he goes back to television, which most likely means at ESPN. Maybe he would try to do both. I listen to Mack talk about how DKR was 72 when Mack got here and now, I am 73. Royal retired from coaching at the ripe old age of 52. He served as AD for four years and that was pretty much it. Royal didn't like what was going on with college football then. He sure wouldn't like it now. All Mack cares about is staying in the spotlight, no matter how or where. He proved that in the past and is doing so now.
December 30, 2024Dec 30 Well since this thread has become super fun lately, who do you think would come back to Austin first: Simms or Applewhite? Show your work for extra credit.

Doesn't he still have at least one kid and maybe grandkids here?

There is still a lot of truth in the old saying you can kill two birds with one stone, or in this case one move back to a prior location.

Those are set in stone. We can pout and bitch and relitigate 2010-2012 (which we all agree on) but neither (a) nor (b) are changing. He's coming. CDC can't stop it. Sark can't stop it. No poster of any connection or influence can even be a mild speedbump to it.

December 30, 2024Dec 30 Popular Post I’ll reiterate. Fuck Mack. Stay away from the program and enjoy your time at the country club. I’ll always be thankful for us winning a championship in spite of him

This is a media play, which is why the interview was great and why him coming back is good. I don't give a shit about all the Mack hate, but some of you are acting like there's not money to be made and a complete void to be filled with Texas media that LHN left and Bobby and his team have somewhat filled. Mack isn't an idiot, he could ask anyone he wanted on a show and bullshit for an hour or 2 a day and focus on CFB centered around Texas and 200k+ daily listeners would tune in automatically. He's not invited to come do AMA on surly or to be a regular podcast guest or anything else, but to say that it's net negative to have a guy who's an eyeball and earhole magnet come back and home base in Austin is a completely naive and moronic take. Wow. Mack is a media monster= NARCISSISTIC SOCIOPATH. What part of his last 3 years here are you amnestic to? How about his scorched earth on to his way out? Please review the history.
December 30, 2024Dec 30 It is indeed.I keep thinking about listening to that interview. But every time I think about it I remember I don’t give two shits what that guy has to say.
December 30, 2024Dec 30 Tonight, Bobby Burton was point blank asked about whether Mack might be added to the Texas football program. Bobby said no way... doesn't make sense to add a 800lb gorilla. 😋 Bobby said he expects a TV opportunity will be Mack's next career move if available. If not, Bobby speculated that maybe an emeritus role for fund raising might be a possibility for Mack at Texas??? Edited December 30, 2024Dec 30 by LTtxfan
December 30, 2024Dec 30 I just don’t want to hear his good-ol-guy-try’in-hard-as-heck voice and bullshit

Royal was all about his players taking advantage of their opportunities to succeed in later life, therefore his emphasis on academic support and disdain for players selling themselves to shitty schools for short term payouts. He might like this era where a player can start to leverage his abilities into a real start in life, to go with an education.
