It's begun: Mack Brown to retire

[Droopdog51]

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

Hey Charlie, I didn't say anything bad about the longhorn defense. Yet, you still feel the need to lob an insult at A&M. That's fine, I know A&M's defense was bad this year. It's no big secret. However, as bad as A&M's defense was, they didn't let a slow QB with a knee brace run for 259 yards. That honor belongs to your Texas longhorns. Take a bow.

BTW, a while back you cried like a little girl that my using t.u. and t-sips was insulting. If you would pay attention (I know that is difficult for you, but please try), I have refrained from using those out of respect for your wittle fewillings. However, you keep using the term gaggies. Look what you and your boyfriend do behind closed doors is between y'all but please keep it off the hoop.

I'm stunned that you have chosen not to use insulting terms to describe my school. Considering I have endured 40 years of hearing those terms and only started using gaggies and not faggies to describe your school's fans only since 2012, doesn't that mean I am entitled to use that term for 38 years?

Just to clarify, gaggie has nothing to do with homosexual activities. It has to do with your school's ability to choke in athletic sport's competitions. I would have used the term faggie, if I wanted to make that inference.

That's not what you told me last Autumn behind the stadium.

We all knew that's the way it was gonna go down.

Mack got fucked over.
Everybody knows that already.

"Powers and Patterson begged me to stay, and I was going to. Then I slept on it the next day I decided to retire. Y'know, for the good of the progrumm"


VEEERRRY believable story, Mack.

I like this at the end of the article:

This is obviously water under the bridge at this point, but it certainly doesn’t portray Texas in a good light. Brown, who won a national title for the Longhorns, probably deserved better than to be jerked around like that.

So the dude who stole millions from the university, actually admitting that he took off the 2010 season (damages in which UT still hasn't recovered from) and needed to be "re-energized" to coach again in 2011 -- he's the one getting treated poorly? LOL

This is starting to kill me. Mack didn't get fucked over. Mack's overall record is average at best. He did other things very well, but coaching football is not his strongest strength. His last 4 years have been a joke. All these reports that are coming out about him being forced out and people being surprised is kind of funny. We all thought he had the intelligence to step down voluntarily after the last few years he's had. Well we were wrong. They gave him every chance to step down. Ok, if you want to play hardball, so be it. YOU'RE FUCKING FIRED! When it's time to go, it's time to go. Don't hang on because you like being in the spotlight.

I read Pat Forde's column this morning about how the 'forced resignation' supposedly went down and how Mack Brown had been screwed. - He was there for 16 years! He had his chance and accomplished a great deal, but it was time for a change. Since 2009 Texas football has stagnated. They need an injection of something different. In the long run this should be better for both parties involved.

And Marcell Dareus says 'hi'.

Wheat, I'm not sure I'm following. It looks like the "good ole boys" club was going to try to save his ass again, but finally after the board got wind of this they said "enough!" I really think the board had the same feelings about Mack and represented the feelings of the vast majority of Longhorns across the nation whether they were rich donors or just doners in general and even fans.

Look, Mack did great things for UT. But, when it's time, it's time. The best analogy I heard a while back, was that it's like a big wave. Mack created one, and rode it. It bottomed out in the 2009 NC game, and no matter what you do, you cant get it back. He got 4 more years at 5M+, and that's it. I think that equals getting his chance to go out on his own terms.

It is his fault for not seeing that now was the time; if he won the battle and got one more year, it would have been disastrous for him and the program. I just wish he could have seen that.

I also wish Powers either also was not delusional, or initially had the balls, to pull the plug immediately after the Baylor game. But he didn't. He just kept saying, "Mack Brown is a legendary coach" yadada. Thus, we are left with this mess.

Mack's contract call for him to work with Powers as a special assistant until 2020. Wonder how that's gonna go.

I just want a football coach. Is there anybody out there who will please apply, and their azz down here and get to work?
