Mack Brown doesn't get it.  It's not about Belichick succeeding.  It's about having Jordon Hudson around to be the face of the athletic department.

I assume those of you trashing Mack Brown really enjoyed the 35 years in between the 1970 and 2005 national championships

Mack left a train wreck in Austin.

Question. Which team was more talented the 1998 team Mack in inherited from Mackovic or the 2014 team Charlie inherited from Mack?

What about all the years before DKR if that’s your argument?

Mack deserves the criticism as much as the credit.

No one is perfect. Including any of us.

Agreed. I’m certainly not very likable at my worst. Always grateful for what Mack did to bring us back to national prominence and respectability. I grew up with the late 80’s and early 90’s Longhorns, which significantly impacts my perspective.

O.J. Simpson was one of the best football players of all time. Multiple things can be true about one person. Really, it's possible.

Agreed, but no one

 here seems to give him much “credit”, they just b$tch about his last 2 years whenever he comes up.  One of which he played for a conference championship.  And there’s the 10 years of 9+ winning seasons I guess.  I’m grateful for him taking us out of the late 80s early 90s slump.

It’s because of recency bias, which is natural.  If Mack rode off into the sunset without doing anything deemed negative or complaining, people would have remembered him for the great years that he brought.

Instead, people remember him fighting his way out and allegedly sabotaging the program to not be able to hire Saban who won more championships at bama.

To be honest with you, the 2014 team was not devoid of talent in the least. On offense: David Ash, Swoopes and Heard wasn’t a bad QB room before Ash’s injury. Malcolm Brown, Jonathan Gray and Joe Bergeron was one of our best RB rooms until recently (before Strong kicked JB off the team). Jaxon Shipley, John Harris and Marcus Johnson wasn’t a bad WR corps and Geoff Swaim is still a NFL TE. 

On defense, we had longterm NFL guys at every level: Malcom Brown, Hassan Ridgeway, Jordan Hicks, Quandre Diggs, Mykelle Thompson.

Difference there is that OJ is a murderer and Mack Brown is a very good man by literally every account of people who actually know him, including hundreds to thousands of players.

Note: as a HC, Belichick never won one playoff game or even a division championship without Brady as his starting QB. 
 

2 winning seasons in 29 years without Brady.

Bias much?

Belichick was not a head coach for 29 years without Tom Brady.  That's a bullshit statement.

Belichick was only a NFL head coach for a TOTAL of 29 years, and 20 of them were with the Patriots coming while Tom Brady was also there.

So, Belichick and Brady were together for 20 of Belichick's 29 years as a head coach.  He had a winning record in 2 of the remaining seasons (1-4 with the Browns and 1-3 with the Patriots).  Not good, but not the incorrect BS you wrote.

The only thing wrong with my statement is syntax. Apologies. The point stands- without Brady, Belichick has been an average to below average head coach. Brady won without Belichick, Belichick did not win anything significant without Brady. 
 

Andy Reid is far and away the more accomplished HC in my eyes compared to Belichick.

The statement should read, over the course of 29 years as a HC, Belichick has had two winning seasons during which Tom Brady was not his QB. And zero division championships or playoff wins.
