Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo

[Guest Lobo]

Mack is coming back to Austin in a couple weeks for a party to celebrate his College Football Hall of Fame induction.  He's charging $250/person (at minimum, there are higher tiers) and no, it's not going to charity.  

FUPM rides again!

Screw him and anyone who lines his pocket. 

[Grippe 323]

Clemson owning UNC is one thing (actually, a given) but I have to admit a morbid curiosity of how much this guy is going to want to lay the wood on Mack.

[South Austin 53222]

I'm sure Mack will just roll out the offense that BYU used against the Horns in 2013.

Quote

This isn’t a massive rebuild, something Brown knew because he served as an advisor to Fedora last year. Fedora’s final teams had some miserable injury luck to go along with poor chemistry, so Brown walked into more talent than most coaches taking over downtrodden programs do. In fact, Brown didn’t think the job would open. He figured UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham would balk at paying Fedora’s $12 million buyout. Brown wasn’t shocked when, while riding back to his hotel from ESPN’s Bristol, Conn., studios following a broadcast last November, he looked at his phone and saw Cunningham calling. Brown assumed Cunningham just wanted to shoot the breeze. Instead, the AD told Brown that Fedora was out and that Brown could have the job if he wanted it.

 

I would not be surprised if someday it comes out that Mack was in the ADs ear saying get rid of Fedora and hire me.

Just want to let everyone know that the North Carolina Vegas betting line to win it all is 500/1. I’ll probably put down somewhere between $1 and $250,000 on them. Whose with me?

Pretty good article on Mack's second act at UNC.  He comes close to acknowledging his complacency during his last few years at Texas, though he still probably won't admit just how lazy and behind the eight ball he had become. 

SI.com: Back in Carolina Blue, Mack Brown Is Rebooting UNC With Something Old and Something New

I still hold him accountable for much of the mediocre to downright awful seasons since 2009 (Steve Patterson and Charlie Strong certainly share a big part of the blame), but I'm also rooting for him to succeed at Carolina. 

And now I know why I don't regret banging your mom.

I would be surprised if he didn't do that.  There was a rumor he was pushing Fedora to replace Charlie so that he can coach UNC.

If Mack can't clown Manny's "Chaos D" then he's an idiot.

Zero chance he didn’t do it.

[PilotsError 2336]

You people must only associate with message board fans.  The average Texas fan in Austin still thinks he's a god.

[Neonmoon 38130]

I will cheer for Mack when he wins (for all the success he brought Texas) and I will laugh at his failures (for plunging Texas into a dumpster fire)

[NeverMarryAStripper 22294]

Unless Texas plays UNC while he is coaching there I doubt if I will even think about him

More likely the AD asked him to be there to see if he could help Fedora. Don’t assume malice...he isn’t Switzer.

Terrible "to be fair" attempt. People were everywhere 2 hours before the game and my guess is we had 45K in the stadium during 1H. The autograph line alone likely had a few thousand & a very good crowd at concert.

here's a better pic taken by a fan from the presumably fuller side of the stadium.

Me too. I think it’s because I decoded his bullshit coach speak a long time ago and now all I can hear is him lying.

He’ll need a one legged qb.
