Is that Mack or Jerry Sandusky?

The butter teeth should give it away.

[Machinator 32103]

Strategy: get the best players you can. Need to sit down and see what they need.

[Machinator 32103]

You gotta win at home first before going going out of state. Both in recruiting and in games.

Why would anyone want to come here from OOS if you can't convince home-state players to come?

Mack is behind in recruiting more so than any other aspect of the job. He's gonna hit the road after meeting the kids.

Gonna need a Luby's store locator

Jerry Sandusky has butter teeth. He also used to say "Fuck it" a lot.

Didn't work out so well for him.

Congrats on being the 14th person to make that joke in this thread.

[Machinator 32103]

Talks about how new coaches struggled early but the kids eventually bought in and played hard: Chip Kelly, Scott Frost. "Coaching matters."

[Machinator 32103]

"You have to be really careful... everything you say and do affects someone's life."

[Machinator 32103]

It's about teaching and growing the kids for the rest of their lives.

Talks about how negative he was after losing to Bama in '10, he let the players down. It's about the kids, can't let the losses crush him.

[Machinator 32103]

Mack wasn't going back into coaching unless it was a perfect fit. UNC was the only place that worked.

All of the stale jokes in this thread are hilarious. Really, really funny.

Q: what's the biggest challenge relating to players, with you being out of coaching?

A: Earning their trust and respect, because they don't know me. Advantage is that they've seen Mack Brown on TV, and he's seen them practice. His greatest advantage is Sally. She loves kids. She could tell when Mack wasn't going to land certain recruits. "Their way to get to me is through her."

Obviously.

Mack is receiving texts from everyone. "Can I have 20 assistants?"

[Machinator 32103]

Asked about in-state recruiting. Best recruits have gone out of state of late. What's the key to keeping then in-state?

"You gotta be the cool place to be. We were the cool place before, we can be cool again."

Exhorts the fans to come to games and restore home-field advantage. Not when the team is winning, before they start winning.

Gotta get back on social media, because the kids are on the phone more than they're studying.

Basketball is a big advantage, helps with recruiting. Coach Roy will help.

[TrashMaster G 18076]

Interesting note:  Mack's first game as Head Coach will be vs Coach Boom

Also plays against his other former school, Appalachian State.

[Anastasis 23717]

Must be trading recommendations on tailors.

That's it for Mack.

[Horn of Gabriel 1886]

My rage bubbles up when I see his mug.

[Murfdogg21 4563]

Is Chris Jesse getting warmed up for sideline duty?

[Johnny Sack 8397]

I wish Mack well. Hope he hire someone good assistants.  

The man had certain qualities that drove me crazy that prevented Texas from maximizing what we could have been. But he did a really good job here overall.

Well, it may be ugly, but it's hardly worthy of rage.

[UTEX_ME 4289]

I wish this would have right after he was fired from Texas so he could have beaten Jimbo a few times before aggy hired him lol

Also plays the Mercer Bears next year.  Bears scare you to death.

2020: at UCF, Auburn in ATL, ODU, JMU.  

2021: GaSt, Wofford, Notre Dame

2022: @GaSt, @AppSt (?!?!!?) ETSU, Notre Dame.  I guarantee he's already cried to the AD about buying one of those games out.

Hmmm, Mack says NC has the best athletic program in the country. Eff you Texas.

[Richter 2413]

So basically there’s a trend of big name basketball schools hiring big name has been football coaches?  

What’s next?  Gene Chizik to Louisville?

Yeah.

Cutcliffe at Duke, Stoops at Kentucky, Miles at Kansas, Brown at North Carolina, and I guess blockhead could wind up at Louisville? 

[Deej 77809]

I would like to see Saban retire, Dabo move to Bama, then Clemson hire Bob Stoops so Mack can shit his pants.

Maybe this is what he meant to say.

[Rimbo 27003]

Some doofus on Reddit is actually arguing with me on whether or not GDGD was a bad hire when Mack first brought him to Texas. The guy's actually claiming that *I'm* being "revisionist." No, you cuntsack, I'm the one who was defending him in 1999-2004 against the very correct people who were decrying his deficiencies.

Actually, as he's gotten older, it doesn't even take that much any more. Slightly undercooked eggs will do the trick, these days.

[Orange&White 5573]

Remember that time, at the bowl game breakfast, when the players didn't like the bacon, so Mack let them vote, and then made the hotel cooks make new bacon? Yeah...me too.

 

This won't end how Mack is thinking it's going to end.

Mack is coming back to UNC for the same reason he went to Texas: to fix things.

"We used to think winning 10 games was bad." Not "healthy".

Winning all the time isn’t good for the kids.

[Rockethorn1978 6205]

How successful Mack is at UNC will all fall on who he hires as his OC and DC. If he can hire a grand slam OC he will win, Mack selling the program to kids was never the issue.

If mack tries and reassemble his old crew then he will get fired in 3 years tops, if he learned anything during his off time he will find new blood and a innovative offensive mind to run his stuff. 

[rungeflash 322]

Damn, I am really shocked.  I didn't think he had it in him to kill himself again on the recruiting trail.

If he can hire good coordinators, he'll do fine.  The ACC second place fiddle position is wide open.

Word on the street is that Deloss Dodds will be the new AD and that Mack will resume his diaper changing duties.
