Mack Brown stepping down (1 Viewer)

Will Saban coach the bowl game?

 

[Quez]

Man, it's really happening.

 

[The General]

How will Bama Nation take this if Saban does leave?

 

[Clifford]

Not well, especially if he takes his staff with him. I can't see Bama NOT breaking the bank to keep him. Pretty sure they will just tell him they will tack an extra 15% onto whatever Texas offers him.

$1.15 Billion seems like an awful lot for a coach.

How nice is it to be Saban's agent right now?

 

[Quez]

I wonder if he is actually recruiting guys for Texas right now?

 

[MAC_32]

You misspelled 'being forced out' in the thread title.

 

[Abraham]

A friend of mine's wife works with a lady who's husband is a Longhorn Network Exec and they are confirming the Mack Brown resignation and that the Nick Saban deal is a done deal

 

[Buck Bradcanon]

Love you Mack.

 

[massraider]

Can I get a Cliffs Notes on why Saban would be such a lock to take that job? Is it that Sabans dream job? Does he just seee it as a better job? Seems like his current gig is pretty great, right?

 

[Clifford]

Basically more money, new challenge. That's it.

 

[yellowdog]

How will Bama Nation take this if Saban does leave?

I hope we find out. I couldn't care less about who coaches Alabama or Texas, but the reaction from the Alabama fan base would be priceless.

He's an egotist, a money-grubber and a climber. Everything else is tertiary.

#Texas source tells CBS "Mack (Brown) hasn't had any meeting & has not told anyone he's stepping down."

 

[The General]

Taking UT to a national championship after doing the same at Alabama would be pretty sweet, pretty much make Saban look like the greatest college coach of all-time.

Earlier today, a report surfaced that Mack Brown had agreed to step down as head football coach at the University of Texas and move into a administrative role at the University.

When reached by text moments ago, Brown refuted the story to Horns247.

"I haven't seen (the) article," Brown wrote.

"I'm in Florida recruiting. If I had decided to step down I sure wouldn't be killing myself down here. I have not decided to step down."

Brown is expected to be in Florida for the next two days. He is expected to visit running back Dalvin Cook in Miami today and linebacker Andrew Beck in Tampa tomorrow.

Additionally, sources tell Horns247 that Texas football staff has not been made aware of any such decision.

It's the perfect storm of college football's most successful coach on a team with its own (more or less) network coupled with typical college coach's ants in the pants.

Important to note that Chip Brown reported a couple months back that Dodds was going to step down, they issued a steadfast denial...and then he stepped down.

I'm sorry but are you talking about the past 6 years? If so, take your meds. Texas hasn't been jack #### since Vince Young.

sooooo, did he or didnt he

Nick Saban is the Larry Brown of football coaches

Always looking for the next gig

A better football program? That's crazy talk. The current program is the Mack Brown program at Texas vs. the Nick Saban program at Alabama.

That didn't take long. Someone get my the pliers so we can reset for Cappy.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Shannahanai should be available soon, take your pick of which one you like best.

 

[The Flying Elvis]

So if Saban leaves who does Alabama go after? Does Kirby Smart take over or is that too small of a hire for Bama?

"I'm in Florida recruiting."

This is the Longhorns problem. They need to focus on locking up their in-state guys.

Just got this text from a college coach: "Great quote by Mack 'killing himself"..That's what other people call 'working

 

[Cold Dead Hands]

I'd imagine a ten team round robin format in the Big 12 as opposed the current division format with championship game of the SEC (and that it is the SEC vs Big 12) might factor in as well.

 

[koby925]

I expect all the media talking heads to rip on Texas fans now like they did with Eagles fans who wanted Reid gone. Be careful what you wish for. They don't know how good they have it, etc.

But this won't happen. And this is a coach who won a title.

 

[Baloney Sandwich]

It was a good run

"I'm in Florida recruiting."

This is the Longhorns problem. They need to focus on locking up their in-state guys.

They have seven of the top 30 Texas recruits from 2014 already locked up and have a shot at four others, ranked #10 by Rivals at the moment.

2012 their class was #2 in the country

2011 their class was #3 in the country

2010 their class was #3 in the country

2009 their class was #5 in the country

2008 their class was #14 in the country

2007 their class was #5 in the country

Texas has no problem recruiting.

 

[Clifford]

They're like the UGA of the Big 12.

 

[pollardsvision]

They're like the UGA of the Big 12.

Pretty amazing, with all those resources and recruits, Mack's got 2 Conference titles in 16 seasons.

For all time greatest programs, its what - Texas, Bama, USC, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma? Anyone else worth mentioning?

Can we all agree that Bama's uniforms > UT

Yes they do. TAMU is whipping them, and of the top 10 kids from the state...they haven't signed any....while TAMU, Baylor, LSU, and even Oregon have.

Texas is insulated to the point where they'll never dip low, but they SHOULD be higher.

TAMU has 8 top 30 guys and two in the top 10 and both have 11 of the top 50. Baylor has three in the top 50, Oregon and LSU have two combined.

Yeah they are really showing Texas.

Texas has the second best recruited talent in the country over the last 4 years behind only Alabama. They can get higher, but not that much higher. Their 2014 class is ranked #7 by Scout and #10 by Rivals.

Recruiting hasn't been their problem.

TAMU is easily ahead in the composite...with less kids. And Texas will be dropping.

Texas recruits well because they are Texas. If you don't think UT fans are disappointed about Mack's recruiting, then I don't know what to tell you.
