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. [emoji39] 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??? Could you trust him to do his best fund raising if Sark was showing up everything Mack did at Texas? Who’s to say he wouldn’t phone it in? Better to keep him away from the school. Let ESPN hire him.

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. Coach Royal would absolutely hate that players can sell themselves to the highest bidder, not caring who it is. The portal lets players do this without any loyalty to a school or program. Coach Royal hated what is now legal to do. Do you think DKR would be pleased if a player that told him he wanted to play for him, then decided he wanted to go play for Alabama, because he could get more money there. Coach Royal was about commitment and loyalty as he was about anything else. How could players like this even be considered his players? Coach Royal had no concept that college football would ever become what it is now. It's a lower-level professional league, that many people even consider a job instead of a player attending college and playing football. Edited December 30, 2024Dec 30 by NBHorn7

Moreover, does Bobby think or believe that allowing FUPM, "the 800 lbs gorilla", to solicit funds from donors for Texas Football is somehow not a part of Texas Football? Granted I'm going of a 3rd party interpretation from @LTtxfan but I don't see how anyone can think both of those could co-exist. One excludes the other from being a reality.

December 30, 2024Dec 30 Put him in a basement office in Belmont, lock the door, and let the asbestos go to work. He can even cash in eventually when the cancer hits by jumping in on one of those mesothelioma lawsuits. If Mack Brown loves Texas Football, he can stuff his nose in Sally’s old cunt until he is dead, and leave the program to those that deserve to be actively involved in its development.

December 30, 2024Dec 30 Popular Post It's funny how when Mack returned to UNC, the narrative was, "we love it so much, Sally is from here, we've always wanted to come back and retire here..." yadda yadda. Mack spends five years there accomplishing nothing of note, gets pushed out the door for Belichik, and immediately leaves the state. On brand.

December 30, 2024Dec 30 I don’t know if I had a very strong opinion of Mack Brown being around Texas after his UNC firing until catching up to this batshit crazy thread, but now I do. I hope CDC hires him promptly for a big role. This site will burn all the fucking way to the ground and it certainly reads like there will also be a ton of public drama as Camp Mack and Camp Twelve Win Theven spar at epic levels.

December 30, 2024Dec 30 Mack needs to polish his brand after his departure from Chapel Hill, so cozying up in the place of his greatest success, where the TV lights are brighter helps him do that. I feel like he's looking for a spot on the bigger stage with Saban and Urban rather than just chumming around with the Texas BMD crowd. Sark's success with the team and perhaps an NC in the next few years will bring some collateral shine to Mack (in his mind). Not sure he would be in Austin if a Charlie or Herman equivalent was there and the program rolling around in the bottom half of the SEC.
December 30, 2024Dec 30 Mack Brown is great at recruiting Lago Vista. Is it DEI to leave open one or two scholarships for good kids from good families?

Coaches can move around any time in the NFL too while players are not allowed to move around freely. Comparing coach movement to player movement isn't fair.

By the end of his Texas tenure he couldn't be bothered to go to Pflugerville. Mack was fully aware of his detachment. That's why he flew to Florida so he could take a picture of himself standing in the corner of a field at a high school game. Because how could people be convening to organize his dismissal while he was on the grind, turning over every stone in the dirt for the future of the program? Never mind that he traveled on a private jet to get there and the whole thing was choreographed bullshit. "I'm good at dealing with people! Why can't you understand that?!? WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!!!"

December 30, 2024Dec 30 Bringing Mack back into the program only seems like a good idea to me IF he becomes a money man. He's already made it clear that he doesn't like the players getting paid situation and why he wanted to get out of coaching. What is the benefit to the program if he's not going to help tackle the biggest issue facing the sport? I don't see it.

December 30, 2024Dec 30 Just now, Pam Cummings said: I wasn't trying to. Just pointing out that that same dynamic exists in pro sports as well. It doesn't because pro sports have contracts that tie the players to the team as well as a collective bargaining agreement.
December 30, 2024Dec 30 NFL players are welcome to sign 1 year deals every year. They usually dont because it’s a cutthroat business with performance and injuries and they like the pseudo security of multi-year contracts, or at least the ability to pool guaranteed money together. but if they feel they are being paid too little, they also have no issues holding out and demanding a new contract despite the CBA and signed contract.
