I mean, i've always thought the city of austin has a lot to do with it. There are so many distractions in the city, hero worship by the fans, the press, alumni. Progressively, college culture coddles these kids, let's them make excuses, allows them to blame others, or their circumstances, or history, blah blah for whatever is happening to them today. I think that limits accountability.
Additionally, coaches don't come here to win championships, they come here for their payday. Mack Brown made what, $450K a year when he first got here in '98? His performance coaching is what got him up to $5 million per year. Coaches today get that right off the bat. It's ridiculous.
I think there's rot from head to toe at UT. You saw how the University negotiated with the band to play the fucking school song. What do you think is going on behind closed doors with the players to get them to learn their drills?
