It's begun: Mack Brown to retire

[TexasMan]

He just had to make sure Saban didn't get the job.

I dunno. Has Saban SIGNED the new deal yet?

[occupant]

He was supposed to do this last Tuesday.

Mack never like Chip all that much anyway...Chip is an asshole if you guise haven't figured that out yet.

He damaged Chippy's credibility all he could...and the university allowed him to do it. Heh.

As I said earlier, Chip does indeed have his issues. My point was, he's the only reporter around there, (other than Kirk Bohls of the Austin American Statesman newspaper, who I don't think would do any hard core digging anymore) who does not speak through the UT System Censor. He is not liked around there, because he's not a part of the machine.

 

[Texas Jefe]

Anyway, Thanks to Mack to for bringing the program out of the doldrums, and making it what it is today.


And I hope they find a good football coach to replace him, and let's move on.

Texas coach Mack Brown steps down - CBSSports.com

The Mack Brown saga at Texas has taken another unexpected return as the school announced on Saturday night that Mack Brown is resigning from his position as head coach.

"Sally [Brown, his wife] and I were brought to Texas 16 years ago to pull together a football program that was divided," said Brown in the official release. "With a lot of passion, hard work and determination from the kids, coaches and staff, we did that. We built a strong football family, reached great heights and accomplished a lot, and for that, I thank everyone. It's been a wonderful ride. Now, the program is again being pulled in different directions, and I think the time is right for a change. I love The University of Texas, all of its supporters, the great fans and everyone that played and coached here. I can't thank DeLoss Dodds enough for bringing our family here, and Bill Powers and the administration for supporting us at a place where I have made lifelong friendships. It is the best coaching job and the premier football program in America. I sincerely want it to get back to the top and that's why I am stepping down after the bowl game. I hope with some new energy, we can get this thing rolling again."

Brown will coach Texas in the Alamo Bowl against Oregon.

During his 16 seasons Brown's Texas teams went 158-47 and won a national title in 2005, but it's his record of 30-20 in the last four seasons -- including a record of 18-17 in the Big 12 -- that did him in at the end.

As for who would replace Brown in Austin, well, Nick Saban just agreed to a contract extension at Alabama on Friday night, so you have to think he's out of the discussion. Of course, while it probably won't be Saban there will be no shortage of coaches interested in the job, and Texas has the money to go after whoever it wants.

It's been a pretty quiet December on the coaching carousel, but with the Texas job coming open that will change quickly as dominoes begin falling across the country.

Wow, Mack Brown finally confirms it.

He is not liked around there, because he's not a part of the machine.

Come on, Chip was wired into Deloss Dodds during the 2010 Big 12 summer drama. Deloss Dodds was feeding Chip Brown stuff every week. Yes, you can say Deloss Dodds did not do it, but he approved it.

Once Disney Bought the Texas Athletic Department on December 24, 2010, orangebloods(owned by Yahoo) was on the outs. Because only Disney approved Media was supposed to be used. Disney and Yahoo are competitors.

headlines should read Mack Brown , being a true longhorn,, decided to wait until the night of the heisman trophy presentation to begrudgingly step down. A move that will tarnish the career of an otherwise classy man. wtf

 

[Texas Jefe]

Yes, all true. That's why the radio station 1049 fired Ketchum (Rivals/Orangebloods) and Sean Adams left orangebloods for Espn Austin, and LHN.


There have always been some higher ups that fed stuff to CB, and he did apparently have a line to Dodds during realignment, and at other times. They obviously have used him to their advantage. You live in Austin? If you do, you know that getting anything that is not "approved by UT Athletics" is near impossible. CB at times was the only way to get anything at all from the inner sanctum. Unless you are someone who is in the inner circle, if you are just a regular fan/alum, you don't get squat. And I always take what he says cautiously. I think your view is colored by realignment, and the forever hatred by some Huskers/Horns toward each other. I'm not one of those, so I wont play.


In the end, he was right about Dodds, and he was right about Mack Brown. He is a somewhat annoying person, I'll give you that.

 

[Hornsstampede2.0]

Thank You.


Lets build the statue because you deserve one.


If there is a TEXAS Mount Rushmore, Mack Brown is rightfully on the monument.


COME and TAKE it.

Good luck on the coaching search! From where I'm sitting you handled this whole issue better than the rest. You showed Mack respect he deserved and praise when he left. I hope this doesn't start a, we should have kept Brown saga, in the coming years, like so many programs have gone through and you recognized.
Good luck!

not really, but I do think it's kind of funny how Mack Daddy let this stretch out and fuck with Texas fan.

kind of trippy, really.....

 

[Droopdog51]

Based on what he did for the defense, maybe they promote Greg Robinson to HC.

 

[charlie42s]

How odd, I thought the gaggies had decided to ban the word 'defense', since their team sucked so bad at defense.
