Mack Brown Tarheel Football: The Orange Slice Boogaloo

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?

The butter teeth should give it away.

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

Didn't work out so well for him.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Also plays against his other former school, Appalachian State.

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.

I don't have a chance to watch this. Can someone let me know if they hand him a 20XX Championship Plaque?

The plaque for the alternates is down in the ladies room.

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?

Must be trading recommendations on tailors. 

 

just want to point out that I disapprove of the suit with those type of shoes look.  That bullshit is ridiculous.

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.

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

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

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.

Fixing is more fun than maintaining. You get bored and complacent that way.

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

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

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.

I would add S&C coach to that.

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. 

I bet he picks up Kendell Briles...
