Don't know what Mack's buyout is, but I'm betting he won't go hungry for the next few years. (or centuries).

His buyout won't matter. I'm talking around the country, there are a ton of ADs and coaches looking at big money raises. Texas AND USC hiring? Man everybody is about to get paid.......

every texas fans has already been telling us this for I don't know how long.
is he stepping down tomorrow, or the summer of 2014 thing we all know already.

He's pretty much already out. They are keeping him on the payroll until August so he can collect a million dollar annuity. He is in poor health right now for one thing......and they've already started the search for a new AD

I don't think MACK is going anywhere.
From day 1, Mack Brown has always been a CEO coach.

He does 4 things:
1. Builds program wealth and profitability
2. Recruits
3. Control discipline/ Maintain a clean program
4. Hires assistants to do the X and O stuff. They have complete coaching power.

He has not missed a beat on the first 3 things.

#4 is the only thing that Mack needs to improve.
Mack is not going to grab a clipboard. He has never done that as a CEO coach.
Mack is not going to run the player through practice. He is not the one teaching them tackling.
Mack tends to be loyal to his guys and is slow to pull the trigger.

I applauded him for firing Diaz. That guy should have been gone last October.
Mack needs to show more of that power again to garner a culture of accountability.

Lets wait and see how this Robinson thing unfolds.
K-State was the first game where Robinson had a full week to coach them up.
Now he has 10 days for ISU and 10 days for OU.

Pat Fitzgerald, Charlie Strong, David Shaw, Kirby Smart, etc. are either about to get a better job or a big fat raise this offseason.

ahhh eternal optimism......although others might call it something else...

Mack is TOAST.

Not many ADs are going to keep the HC from the previous regime unless the guy they want is unavailable. The next AD has no reason to keep Mack, none. He has to create his own legacy.......and he's going to do it with a coach of HIS choosing.

 

[4down20]

If he's a CEO, who gets money and such, then he needs to be AD, not HC.

Any chance you guys will take Fedora?

You can't be serious! You are a sunshine pumper..... If it wasn't for Kansas State making 2 pop warner turnovers Texas probably would've lost to them. A CEO style head coach is only good for rebuilding a brand, which is exactly what Texas needed in the 1990's. Today??? Mack is pretty much a $5 million dollar baby sitter, all the top notch recruits don't respect him and it shows on the field. If you want your team to be a perennial top notch team you must have a coach the players fear and respect, not a coach who pats the players on the back and hands out orange slices.

Apparently Bama fans don't even watch their own coach.

Nick Saban is the ultimate CEO coach. I think he is doing quite well.
He maximizes the efficiency of very talented assistant coaches. That style won 4 national titles.
Nobody has done the program builder and CEO combo better than Saban.

My favorite Saban quote, "You didn't hire the best coach. But, you hired the best damn recruiter who ever lived."

Saban also focuses on something called THE PROCESS".
It is series of large scale CEO type moves that create habits uniformity while investing in the future.

The man is a gifted CEO coach. I have no doubt he could turn around fortune 500 companies.If you ever listen to Coach Saban, he is arguably the biggest supporter the CEO style of coaching.

And it works for young guys as well. It is not some dinosaur theory for old guys like Mack/Saban.
Kevin Sumlin is arguably more a CEO than both Mack/Saban combined.
He imparts his ideology and offensive philosophy and leans on talented young assistants.
He might be the single hottest coach in the country. The CEO approach works fine for A&M.

A&M is throwing a parade every night thanking God they got a young gifted CEO style coach.
Kliff Kingsbury has mentioned that style as the single greatest piece of wisdom he learned from Sumlin.

Saban coaches.

End of that debate.

Saban coaches. He does have a process. More importantly Bama has an identity. I do not even need to know the names or returning starters to know what Bama will be, season in and season out. I am not talking record, but identity. What is Texas? Spread, Power Run, Up-tempo Spread. The current starter for the ISU game (Case) has seen 3 different coordinators and 3 different systems. CEO's have vision. They have a process. Mack has neither. He is called a CEO, because he does not coach. It is not because he is a great CEO.

They will all get raises, but the latest rumors have it Saban, Strong, and Muschamp. Expect that to change weekly

 

[Wheat]

Muschamp would be a great fit in Austin and would likely continue ala Mack Daddy, LOL!~

I vote him....

Nothing is similar between Mack and Muschamp. I think that is one reason his name is being kicked around. HE is the complete opposite of Mack. Hard ass that will field a hard hitting team. The issue is going to be on the offense. He would need a respected OC to get my approval (not that anyone would ask for it). Holgo gets fired and Muschamp comes with Holgo as his OC. Imagine that. Good times.
