Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo

The only things that can tear Texas down in the current CFP setup are internal poor performance, a drum beat of consistent negative press, and letting has-beens who wish things had stayed they way they used to be influence decisions. Mack Brown is absolutely a threat to create issues with the latter two. 

Texas already faces the most hostile local media and national media from their own program alumni in the country. For fuck's sake Desmond Howard spent the Gameday broadcast in Ann Arbor pimping his school and even using his own kid to do so. Meanwhile Sam "The Less Terrible" Acho fucking picked Clemson to beat Texas and win it all probably so the national media thinks he's super objective. You know, Kirk Bohls disease. Bohls, by the way, being an old Mack Brown chum still covering Texas in Austin but now going so for the Houston rag.

Mack Brown can't take Texas down on his own but he can absolutely hurt Texas through his relationships. Inviting on a potential saboteur is idiotic no matter what, and it's the ones you think can't be too bad who are the most dangerous kind.

I'll ask one more time. Who is inviting him on?

WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON ABOUT

Mack Brown doesn't work for UT, the AD or anything else and there are no plans for him to do so. 

You guys are just making shit up, full conspiracy shit. Knock it the fuck off. 

Hmm, how much is Aggy paying you to destroy our program? I always suspected you were playing a long game.

Who is bringing him back?

No idea. I am just here for the gang bang.

That thin-skinned, two-faced clown will undermine anything that threatens to surpass his perceived legacy. 

Move to, and stay in, Marble Falls and have as many pieces of pie with Dodds at Blue Bonnet as he and his fatness see fit.  But keep that cunt as far away from the program as possible. 

Why you want to fuck up Marble Falls?

Just FYI, there isn't much of it here, but on other boards they're tossing around things like bringing him on as an offensive analyst, naming him Director of Recruiting, etc. And that's probably what Mack is after. For the few of you going hurr durr what's the big deal about having Mack around.

"Sometimes they'd gripe that you didn't win ten games then then you'd remember that they griped when you won ten and didn't win more."

He has so many axes to grind. I don't want him anywhere near this program. 

 

Is he really in touch with them in Facebook, or is he killing himself sending friend requests in Florida?

Good point, I didn't consider the danger of random anonymous Internet posters giving Mack Brown a coaching position. I had the idiotic idea that CDC, the regents, and Sark ran the show. I forgot about LonghornGrandpa and HookEm833.

Hey dumbass. People don't fucking forget what happened. No matter what your "what's the big deal, hurr durr this dipshit that burned this bridge means well and isn't a total idiot returning with his hat in hand after failing miserably elsewhere and proving us all correct" tries to tell us.

Oh, well, if people on message boards are saying it, we're doomed.

Those are just your garden variety idiots opining as is their wont. As others have mentioned, I doubt CDC, Sark or Hartzell would allow such to pass.

Maybe wait for the press release.

I don't want him to have anything to do with Texas football for all of the reasons listed here.

Great, we're all in agreement.

I also know that he's utterly powerless now with regard to the football program.

Let's keep it that way.

Mack: “I want to get involved with the game. I want to stay involved with the game. I love the coaches.” 

It sure sounds like he wants to become part of what Sark is building here if ESPN/Fox doesn’t return his calls to be on TV.

 

Thankfully, that's not really up to him.

"The game" to Mack means golf, fundraisers, luncheons, etc. He will have zero say over football.

Are yall forgetting that Mack stayed in Austin and was even given some bullshit title for 4+ years after he was fired? He had no power then and will have even less now. He's an old man who wants to be patted on the head.

Charlie would've been a success if it wasn't for Mack's secret meddling during those years!

The first thing Mack wants to do he said when he gets back to Austin is to socialize again with old pals Dodds and "CDC." It's pretty plain to see what is going on. Mack is moving back to Austin because he is totally irrelevant in Chappel Hill. He was not only fired, but was replaced by someone that is totally is sucking the oxygen out of that place.

Mack's ego can't stand that. He is coming back to Austin to try and restore his relevance again in some way, with people that can help him do that. This ends in either he gets some kind of cushy deal with UT, or he goes back to television, which most likely means at ESPN. Maybe he would try to do both. 

I listen to Mack talk about how DKR was 72 when Mack got here and now, I am 73. Royal retired from coaching at the ripe old age of 52. He served as AD for four years and that was pretty much it. Royal didn't like what was going on with college football then. He sure wouldn't like it now. 

All Mack cares about is staying in the spotlight, no matter how or where. He proved that in the past and is doing so now.

I think there's a lot of truth to that but I also think it's true that he has a lot of genuine friends and family here.   Doesn't he still have at least one kid and maybe grandkids here?

My post and yours don't counteract each other. There is still a lot of truth in the old saying you can kill two birds with one stone, or in this case one move back to a prior location.

There is nothing anyone can do to stop Mack Brown from (a) having a voice many will listen to and (b) staying closer to the program than basically anyone else not current working/playing for the program can. Those are set in stone. We can pout and bitch and relitigate 2010-2012 (which we all agree on) but neither (a) nor (b) are changing.

He's coming. CDC can't stop it. Sark can't stop it. No poster of any connection or influence can even be a mild speedbump to it.

I’ll say this. Mack does nothing. Y accident and he is a smooth talker.  Maybe something is in the works.  Probably not. Maybe he just wants to come home

He shares this trait with Lance Armstrong.  We should put them on an island with a fake TV studio so they can think they are broadcasting to a world full of people who care.

Well since this thread has become super fun lately, who do you think would come back to Austin first: Simms or Applewhite? Show your work for extra credit.

The answer is Applewhite.  Simms isn't giving up that cushy job with NBC.   Major is in Mobile, AL at South Alabama.

What the fuck are all of you going on about with Mack being in any official capacity involved with UT athletics? 

Mack is a media monster. This is a media play, which is why the interview was great and why him coming back is good. 

I don't give a shit about all the Mack hate, but some of you are acting like there's not money to be made and a complete void to be filled with Texas media that LHN left and Bobby and his team have somewhat filled. Mack isn't an idiot, he could ask anyone he wanted on a show and bullshit for an hour or 2 a day and focus on CFB centered around Texas and 200k+ daily listeners would tune in automatically. 

He's not invited to come do AMA on surly or to be a regular podcast guest or anything else, but to say that it's net negative to have a guy who's an eyeball and earhole magnet come back and home base in Austin is a completely naive and moronic take. 

Wow. Mack is a media monster= NARCISSISTIC SOCIOPATH. What part of his last 3 years here are you amnestic to? How about his scorched earth on to his way out? Please review the history.
