Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo

No, but that's not what this is. This is about smiling for the kids when she's around for major events and holidays. It's a sales point. It's an image builder. It's a show of unity, even if it's partially or even mostly fake. It makes us look smaller to have some pointlessly petty relationship with our most successful HC of the last 50 years.

He could still undermine the staff and program.

... you're now going to let her move into your house under the guise of being able to give your current wife advice since she won Aledo mom of the year in 2005?

There's no "let" to it. Literally nothing we can do to keep him out of Austin and there are plenty of people connected to the program who genuinely like him and want him around. Can't be helped or stopped. Same for the bitch ex-wives. We married them and had kids with them; they're ours to deal with whether we like it or not.

If CDC and Sark are smart they let it all go in one ear and out the other when Mack is saying anything that isn't supportive praise. And if they're dumb enough to let Mack's thin-skinned defensiveness and self-mythologizing then we're screwed anyway.

Better to set it up to where he can get his massive, easily-wounded ego stroked in a way that's healthy for the program and not leave it to him having to make his own way to get attention and reassuring pats. Shouldn't be too hard to make it work out for everyone involved so long as everyone behaves.

He's been a petulant cunt at NC over the last few months and they told him to get lost. He hasn't changed and shouldn't be anywhere around the program.

 

I can't wait for the local dipshit media jocksniffers to interview him and ask his opinion on shit that will go viral and CDC, Sark, et al will have to deal with.

More Jack, Mack and McConaghey too.  yay!

And to your point, the guy is 72 years old and after getting his ass handed to him by JMU, popped off saying he was going to quit and THEN had to walk it back because "he didn't think it would get out because it was in the locker room".  He is 72 and been a head coach for more than half his adult life and he didn't know?  This is not a person you want around a program anymore.  He has no ability or humility to be like David McWilliams.

Some of y’all can let yourselves get worked up over anything. 
 
Same people might also be afraid of their own shadow 

You can’t point out one thing with Mack being around the program that will lead to better recruits or more wins. Not one thing. He did his thing well, but at this point he hurts the program.

Him smiling and shaking hands isn’t going to do damn thing to this program negatively. He’s not some double secret agent spy trying to bring down the football team. Good lord lol

What’s Mack’s current/living base right now? Maybe Rowling and that’s it? Eltife knows better. CDC sure as hell does too. 
 

I wouldn’t offer him shit. If half of the shit the surly mods said about him are true, he shouldn’t be permitted 500 yards from the University. 
 

As I’ve theorized before, he’s a greedy fuck that still needs money somehow. Hopefully FOX/Big Ten gives him something so we don’t have to see him on ESPN all the time.

Love Bobby, and I love you too, @immamac, but count me in on Team Bob here.

Mack needs to go find something else to fuck up. We JUST got our program straightened after he did to it what we did to ShaggyBevo -- shit all over it on the way out.

So what if he won a national title? Scat porn is the more recent memory and more relevant to our current situation.

You guys are so fucking disconnected from reality it's a joke.

The vast majority of Texas fans love Mack Brown. Not a lot of people disagree about him needing to move on, but a lot of people didn't think the way it went down was the right way, and in hindsight it definitely wasn't. 

Mack Brown didn't fucking cause the last decade in the wilderness claiming he's the direct cause of it is beyond bogus. If anything it proved how dysfunctional and stupid the AD was post Dodds until CDC Eltife got in lockstep and serious about athletics. 

It was an excellent interview from a guy that has been around CFB for a very very long time and has seen the landscape change. He can call whichever AD in the country he wants, not for a job, but just to talk and there are very very few people that can do that. 

Fuck. You. Stick to computers because your opinions suck.

he better not get within 5 miles of the University.  This is on CDC and Hartzell if they let him fuck this up.

He stayed away from the Campus the  last 5 years of his contract here, and “worked” from the Steiner Ranch Golf Course while sleeping at his Spanish Oaks home.

Do you think he will be happy if Sark builds a successful legacy in the next few years and comparisons are made?

Unclear what FUPM brings to UT in the plus column now. Sure he can give handies and slurp nursing home BMDs but he is a vindictive shit that can also drop turds in a punch bowl.  He can stay on the golf course but yes he can plant poison ivy wherever he is with little to no upside for UT.

he was working for ESPN and also trying to find his way back to UNC.  There is nothing left for him now except to figure out how to be the new revered DKR at Texas which was his original goal, until the walls fell in because he quit.  That is what this is all about.

(Knock on wood) If Mack starts hovering around Sark’s program trying to give his unsolicited advice on how to win one championship in 15 years, I wouldn’t blame Sark one bit for bolting to the NFL the first chance he got to get away from mackbrown-texasfootball.com because what the fuck man.

Man, that was a hugely aggy thing to include his fucking name in the URL.

https://web.archive.org/web/20060202010529/https://mackbrown-texasfootball.com/

I understand that TexasFootball.com had been taken by Dave Campbell, but shoving Mack's name on there was annoying as fuck.  It's like that dumbfuck ESPN.go.com bullshit, except worse.

Just another indicator that Mack saw himself as "bigger than the program."  Of course he would never admit it; he was careful to say the right things when pouring poison in your ears and complaining in a passive aggressive way about the unfair expectations and how darn hard it was to be the coach at Texas.  But if you gave him truth serum, I guaran-damn-tee he would admit that he thinks he could coach circles around DKR, Sark, everyone else, that his name should be added to the stadium, and he should have an office next to Sark to provide "advice."

Doubt he needs money though wealthy successful people often do not have an off switch.  
 

there is enough infrastructure in place to where Mack could have an ambassador type role and not interfere with Sark.  The caveat being I think CDC and Deloss are close.  Emissary Mack may be good for the program though I still think he’s a thin skinned jerk
