Cameron Diaz could have done a better job at DC last night.

Not sure this is the fix that Texas is looking for or the only one they need to make. This move was nothing but a way to save face for Mack and I think Manny may have been the scape goat. Well see...

A big part of the problem is the scheme.

They run nickle nearly all game......yet the moron didn't put a spy on the QB that was torching them, and instead kept running fire blitzes. Diaz had no feel for the game, or basic concepts. He also doesn't teach gap integrity. They'll improve just by doing the BASICS well, as they don't right now. How MUCH they improve will depend on the coaching and talent.

BS, last night it was shitty tackling and to deny that is just inane. yer boys were bouncing off and wiffing, bigtime. there was little effort to try and wrap guys up. it was freakin hilarious....

Would Texas hire an AA head coach?

Royal would be rolling in his grave

Whats amazing is Texas can have what Texas wants.

They are really in a dilemma. It is hard to hate Mack I spose. Man, he seems (from the outside) as a great man.

He did bring Texas a NATTY. But this is Texas we are talking about. Where sleeping giant is the biggest understatement ever.

I could see Texas hiring a D-coordinator away from someone for head coach in the summer.

But not a proven active head coach.

Does Texas pay assistance coaches like the SEC or B1G. Money will do a lot of talking when they began searching for his replacement.

Manny was no scapegoat, he was genuinely terrible. His D last year was the worst in school history. He should have been fired then. He follows up the worst D in school history with the most rushing yards allowed in school history, and you think he's a scapegoat?

Really???

I think Mack should take more of the blame them for hiring such a shitty assistant coach. Shit should roll up hill just like any other big time program. Just saying.

I'd go for Charlie Strong if I were Texas. Getting him fresh off a potential MNC run with a potential Heisman contending QB and #1 draft pick would lead to a lot of team confidence and recruiting potential.
