Mack Brown is a Giant Crybaby Pt 337

[Red Five]

1) Mack was a great head coach here for much of his tenure. Without him there is no Vince Young here, and no NC in 2005.

2) To say he is thin-skinned and petulant would be a massive understatement. At this point he should be kept away from the program as much as possible. 

You don't have to choose between two things. They can exist together. 

[Oldest Horn]

Do I see him yucking it up with BMDs and alums? Absolutely 

Do I see him involved in practice, recruiting or evaluating? Not a chance 

[Jarveaux]

At least everyone is off of Quinn Ewers.

Mack could recruit any player he wanted. The last several classes he just recruited the wrong players.  But we won 41-38, and I still have my hat and the t-shirt and still wear them proudly.

He started doing that well before last few years....he started doing that starting with 06 class where he refused to go out and get the best players in the country that wanted to come to Texas post natty.

Mack was 6-9 vs Bob Stoops. That is not as lopsided as it feels to you. That’s 2 games not going your way away from 8-7. 
 

What’s your opinion on Kirby Smart (owned by Saban) or Ryan Day (owned by Michigan), then? Dabo Swinney was getting owned by Jimbo Fisher until he wasn’t. Jim Harbaugh was getting owned by tOSU until he wasn’t.  
 

Just because a coach is not Saban-level dominant (which is video game level dominant), does not mean he’s not a good coach. 
 

Mack finished the 2 seasons prior to VY stepping foot on campus with 11 wins and in the top 10 in the country. He may have been on the verge of being fired like you say (highly doubt it). If he was, that’s not an indictment of him. That’s an indictment of out of touch fans like you. 

How many Big 12 titles? 2? Losing record vs Stoops including getting absolutely embarrassed in the cotton bowl. 0-11 vs Bowden

Ugh. 95 more days of this.

Mack only won big games when he had Vince or Colt to a lesser extent. Mack was absolutely owned by the best coaches in the conferences he was part of. He's an above average HC that struck lightning with Vince. He was about to be fired had Vince not carried him to a title.

2 conference champions in 30 plus years as HC, isn’t impressive.

I am still pissed his ego made us miss out on hiring saban from bama. 

And don't forget about Saban giving Sark his second chance.  If Mack and Joe Jamail had not killed the Saban hire, Nick would likely have been hiring Sark to Texas instead of to Alabama.  Could have been one of the greatest dynasties in college football history.

No one is perfect. Including any of us.

However, not all of us are small SOB’s, jealous, petty, scared someone else might look good.  Some of us understand human nature and push back against it.  Some of us have learned there is enough love to go around.  Some of us have learned to applaud and appreciate the other person.  Some of us have learned that others are just better than us at some things but it doesn’t keep us from working harder while cheering for the other guy.  I was fourteen when I accepted I would never bat clean up but I was a pretty good leadoff guy.  Many of us know when to keep our mouth shut and not attack other people.   Mack has revealed himself over the years, and we see him clearly.

How did Mack kill the Saban hire? Or Jamail for that matter?

I can only imagine the amount of vitriol that will be thrown Sark's way if we're sitting here two years from now and they're still stuck in CFP Semifinals purgatory with Arch.
