Red banquet Mack x 2.

Schloss and his staff reeled in two big commitments today for the 2027 class. The first was catcher Lee Holt of Denmark HS in Georgia. Holt is one of the top catchers in the 2027 class. The second came just a bit ago, when RHP J. Beckett Berg pulled the trigger and announced his commitment to the Horns.

Your timeline is off. If Deloss wasn’t such a coward he would have been but Oliver luck, who would have been our AD(not Patterson), wanted the Mack thing settled before taking job. Steve said he’d pull the trigger. Just bad leadership around that time with AD and president.

Corny head coach and corny QB. Fit right in in Nebraska

This is false and will always be false no matter how many times people say it and believe it. Hate to tell yall this but the “Big Cigar” or whatever his name was fed the fan base multiple lies. Nick Saban was not going to work for Steve Patterson. It still amazes me that Mack takes all the blame for what Steve Patterson did to this program. Mack left it better than he found it. Once game away from playing for the Big 12 Championship. Patterson came in and completely wrecked everything from top to bottom. I cannot think of one thing he did that helped Texas in any way. Billy Lucci couldn’t have wrecked this athletic department worse than Patterson did. A complete disaster that took years to recover from. But let’s blame Mack Brown. It is so dumb.

He’s no Auggie Garrido

How can we put this? Mack was a better program builder than he was an actual football coach. I remember being frustrated much more often than satisfied. As a fan, I'm happy to recognize him for taking the Longhorns back to the top and re-establishing Texas football. There's really nothing to be gained by being churlish and pointing out what didn't happen.

LOVE it

When he flashes he really flashes. Unfortunately his fizzles are pretty spectacular too. Nobody gets to skip the QB learning curve. Not even a Manning.

Ok, fair . He has a podcast with VY though. So he is a little involved in pumping up the brand.

I guess you weren’t around or don’t know your history. Joe Jamail’s contributions were because of Mack. I can come up with some more given time that are directly linked to Mack’s ability to raise money and generate excitement . You can maybe argue on the coaching or other pieces of the legacy (not beating OU enough), but Mack being a politician that brought in the donations and funding for us being on top is objective, not subjective .

Uh help? For sure not. He can be a fan and remembered/celebrated as a coach who won a championship but he should in no way be more involved in the program than that.

See how stupid all of these worries look after teo games🤣

It's been 2 games and we only have 2 total sacks and Colin Simmons only had .5 sacks and is leading the country in penalties. Should we fire Baker and PK and who should we get to replace them. I'm pretty sure after that Oregon game, OSU DC will be free after the season.

He gets fired and moves back to Texas so he can use UT to grift the fan base. It’s predictable.

Which team had more talent the 98 team Mack inherited from Mackovic or the 2014 team Strong inherited from Mack?

Money was going to flow to any school during that time period, you think Texas was the only one making money? Mack is a cancer and a weak loser mentality. That’s why Bowden and Stoops owned his butt.

By the way, who hired Tim Brewster? You have a warped sense of credit that you attribute. Texas was clearly dysfunctional beyond Mack Brown in 2013. Steve Patterson was the worst thing that ever happened to Texas athletics, and that was a crap BOR that did that. It wasn’t until we got an all-Longhorn BOR and made a great AD hire that we got back on track. Mack Brown hired Brewster who led the charge in recruiting VY. You don’t get to discredit MB’s accomplishments

Did any of those coaches have a decade of success and raise money to a level to make their university the highest revenue university in the nation? And he might have been soft and might could have won more, but let it go. Time has passed . He deserves to come back in and help.

Did Mack Brown hire Steve Patterson? I find it very hard to believe Mack Brown had to be convinced to recruit the #1 player in the country.

Larry Coker has a title, Coach O has a title, Jimbo has a title, chisel has a title. perhaps Mack shouldn’t have been so soft and coddling to his players and he’d have more success?

Keep pumping the stupid media “Arch Sucks” takes! Give him and the whole team some added fuel for the fire. I hate how people in the internet age irrationally prop people up just to irrationally tear them done, gotta get those clicks. I guess I’m getting old lol.

9+ wins for 10 years , most years 10 and a national championship was left out. Could have played for 3 more national championships, it’s an oblong ball. Best testimony is from players that are legends, not you guys . Second best coach in UT history. He had his negatives. I think down talking the program on the way out is rumor. He did say he was working his tail off in Florida . Yeah, it was weird, but not worth all the hate . Get over it . And be appreciative. The hate is getting old

Mack had to be begged to recruit Vince as a QB and he better be thanking Tim Brewster every day for getting Vince. He turned away multiple Heisman winning QBs. As pointed out he burned this program down from 2010 on with his lazy recruiting and exit. He crap talked the program and school to anyone who would listen, he actively encouraged commits to look elsewhere and players on the team to leave. We’re all thankful for the title VINCE delivered and we can all dislike Mack brown for how, why, and after circumstances he created the lead to him being essentially fired
