Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo


Recommended Posts

Posted

I don't think they can let this go one into next season.

The atmosphere in and around the stadium yesterday was very, "blah". And it is a terrific stadium. They are huge on both sides of the ball and I was amazed that our defensive line, very thin, undersized and young, held on like they did and held them to 2/6 on 4th. It was huge.

I don't understand what he is doing with Hampton. That kid is a wrecking ball. They have some other backs too and I would have run a bit of two-back sets to confuse Pitt, they didn't. I'm not sure if Mack can use the lost QB in game one as the excuse because Criswell is just not an elite QB.

It was a fun game from my perspective. I don't think Mack had much fun.

I know for sure that their fans were miserable after the game.

I can see Mack sucking up to the donors with his woe is me bullshit about how he was left without a paddle when Max Johnson broke his leg. He’s gonna ask for one last year for him and Max to go out with a bang and off into the sunset with an ACC title. Sure, Mack.

"I'll retire and go quietly after this next year."

He basically said Mack can be fiery but also fair.  

He said Mack is a nice guy outside of football, but will throw anyone under the bus to save his own ass.

That's what I heard.

Some UNC fan just liked my fire Mack Brown tweet from 2013.

If that fan is a current student, he was like 10 when you posted. lol

I'm still checking out UNC message boards. Some Tarheel fans think that Mack will do the right thing and leave on his own volition for the good to the program. It's just crazy they still think that.

This is a different type of debacle entirely, but I still think you're right. I imagine right now he's hoping to win 3 more so he can say "They fought their guts out and made a bowl. We have a great recruiting class and lots of room for improvement and we'll be in better shape to compete next year." Or some other Mack stuff similar to that and try to continue his personal goals. 

There's another part of me that thinks this is such a prolonged embarrassment that he might want out. The stink at that program right now is loud. Those stands looked empty, too, from the shots I saw of the game. It seems like a really uncomfortable place to be.

Looks like a job for Steve Patterson.

This time he can hire Korn Ferry to coach the team themselves and then schedule a game in Beijing. See what they think of two jetpacks.

Mack needs to retire again. He was pretty decent on gameday coverage.  He and Saban are the same age, Id much rather listen to him than Urban.

Find it hard to believe Mack has the chutzpah to go to war with another administration. But would love for him to surprise me. A Mack v Tarheel cold war would be hilarious.

Who would be his biggest media mouthpiece?

UNC is getting what they deserve on this deal. Mack will not go quietly and there will be more comical losses before this season ends. He does not have the ability to just step away and retire. We just saw this with Francona going to the Reds to manage them. It’s kinda sad to see guys not know when enough is enough, especially Francona because his health isn’t the greatest.
