Saban signs Bama extension... Texas meltdown in 3... 2... 1...

[bamafan4evr12]

Dumb ass Auburn fans should not be allowed to even post on this issue! Seriously, some of their comments!

Yeah they're embarrassing themselves

 

[GoBlueNavyNuke]

Yeah, everyone else in the college football world is wrong for thinking a contact extension pretty much ends all this. You are the only one with a clue!

Do you ever say anything intelligent?

Not saying whether it ends things or not, just that "development" this is meaningless. If Texas offers Saban $8 million or $9 million per year (which they can do), Saban will jump the Alabama ship faster than a rat on the Titanic.

I am fine with Mack staying. I was open to him leaving - if we found the right coach and if it was on his terms. Those things obviously didn't happen.

If you put things into perspective, we were 1 quarter away from winning the Big 12, without:

#1 QB
#1 LB
#1 DT
#1 RB
#1 KR/PR, flex player.

He gets nearly the entire team back next year. Next year is NOT the rebuilding year. Everyone who knows the roster knows that next year will be one of our most experienced Longhorn teams ever. Mack already has a relationship with everyone of these guys. I think they will play hard for him.

Reading that was like Deja Vu all over again.

That is so wrong it's upside down!

Finished with UT

It is getting ugly. Mack is holding Texas hostage due to his pettiness and ego. He has always carefully sculpted his public image, even that is starting to erode as the real Mack starts to emerge from the shadows

I am glad you noticed, but that is what Goebbels, I mean Mack does. He controls the propaganda

Yep, my feelings exactly. It also shows his disconnect with reality. He thinks that throwing a childish fit will keep his job. He's burning bridges.

How long before Mack is Schaub'd next year?

How long before Mack is Schaub'd next year?

After 6 games and we are 2-4.

Not sure he is staying. AD and President have yet to speak on the matter. Mack is fighting. He may win. It is a shame, but it what it is

Thought I heard on ESPN that they have met and it's Mack's decision.

So that's a no on anything intelligent.

UT went 8-4 and are playing a decent bowl opponent, maybe the most intriguing in the Big 12.
UT finished 2nd in the league with a 7-2 record.
UT played a defacto conference title game only 7 days ago.
UT is bringing in a top 10 recruiting class.
UT beat Oklahoma.

Now we want to cry and throw temper tantrums and never support the team again???

It is not like the team went 3-9 and had all its players constantly being arrested.
It was a good year. It was not a spectacular year, but they can finish ranked and 9-4 with a win.
Its embarrassing at times to be a TEXAS fan.

We look like the biggest spoiled brats on the planet.

We are going to burn down the school(?) for having the audacity to finish 9-4 in back to back years.
I don't understand it myself....
I am hoping Mack is wildy successful next year and will give him 100% support.

The funny thing is one of your fans were giving me a hard time less than a week ago because I dared to say Texas fans weren't some shinny beacon of support in response to people claiming Saban wanted to leave Alabama because of all the crazy fans.

I am hoping Mack is wildy successful next year and will give him 100% support.

Good for you, any real fan should.

Pretty much I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt but there are limits....

UT is not bringing in a top 10 quality class. Big 12 was terrible. Mack won 8 games 3 yrs ago vs the 5th hardest schedule. Won 8 vs the 40 something schedule. There is no improvement. let me know how many top 10 programs would accept a 4 yr string of 4 or more losses. How many would rejoice over being 1 game over .500 in conference. Mack will win 7 or less. If you can not see the issues I am not sure what you are watching.

1. Terrible roster management
2. Fading recruiting
3. 0 direction. Don't be shocked to see another philosophy next yr

This is very similar to what Auburn went through at the end of Tuberville's tenure. Trust me cut bait before you let things slide any further and you end up with multiple recruiting class issues.

Been there done that.

I can show you improvement


2-8 in Big 12 loss to OU - no bowl game
4-5 in Big 12 loss to OU - played unranked bowl opponent
5-4 in Big 12 loss to OU - played ranked bowl opponent
7-2 in Big 12 victory over OU - played top 10 ranked bowl opponent




It is not perfect, but each year since 2010 has shown improvement in the big picture


Unless Texas is hiring a godlike coach, there is no real reason to kick Mack Brown to the curb.
