I am so glad Sark has welcomed Mack to the program...

[Califashorn75]

...it's important to have our legends, both players and coaches around the program. VY is a hero to many. The players and their parents revel in his presence.  Sark is confident and self assured enough to understand why it's important to be welcoming, unlike other coaches we have had. CDC also rolls out the welcome mat to our former players. We have the best athletic administration in our history right now.

Unfortunately, there's quite a few fans around here that don't like Mack Brown because of how the last four seasons went.  His name is like a curse word to some.  I agree with you though.  Brown did the same for Royal before he passed.

I'm fine having him on the periphery especially if he can raise some cash, on that point I'm not aware if BMDs are good with him or not.  Sark, CDC and Eltife aren't going to let him make decisions so then who cares if he is or is not.

Never.  Mack is the primary driver for a decade of mediocrity.  He was a great recruiter who was regularly outcoached by Stoops, Leach, and Snyder.  He just quit on his team last year and then tried to come back for personal stats despite knowing his time was up.

Without Vince Young, Mack Brown is an afterthought.

I will quote LBJ on J Edgar Hoover.  I would rather have him inside my tent pissing out than outside my tent pissing in.

And he’s also the reason for a decade of winning.  And the subsequent hires were the reason we went into mediocrity.  The guys a Texas legend, other Texas legends acknowledge it, get over it. It’s old.  His relationships also made us the most supported and richest university in the nation.  That’s a fact

He’s inside your tent pissing in it and he’s outside your tent pissing on it.

Yet his run is the standard we are still trying to get back to.  Mack is the second greatest coach this program has ever had and brought us back to prominence. Completely changed the perception of the program and helped build the brand.  If VY was the only reason then what was Colt?  What was Corey Redding, DJ Johnson, Cedric Benson, Ricky coming back to win the Heisman, Shipley, Cosby...just to name a few that came because of Mack and still love him today and rave about him (RIP Cedric).  I mean, the man did a lot for us and he is a great ambassador for the program even today.

Mack needs to be recognized when they honor the 2005 team this year.  Other than that he needs to stay out of the limelight.  I don’t care to see him or hear from him.  

[Red Five]

Mack burned his bridge on his way out. No need to rebuild it for him.

Yawn, he took over a talented roster and won nothing for seven years.  Lost to OU five in a row.  Got blown out by OU four times.  And when he left, it took a decade to get over the mess, he left behind.  Yes, he won a national championship.  I give him his due for that he deserves for that but he is just notch above Larry Coker, Gene Chizek, and Lloyd Carr other national championship coaches.  He ain’t no Bill McCartney who built a program from the bottom to the top. He is no Dabo.  Of course, he is not even in Stoops league.  He is an average as coaches who landed at the right program at the right time.    His record at North Carolina tells you about how good of coach he really is.  
In 35 seasons finished in the top ten six times.   Stoops in 18 finished 11 times and 5 times in a row from 2000 to 2004.  
We don’t need him to be our ambassador.   Sark is our ambassador.

His record at North Carolina is the winningest coach in UNC history. Maybe look things up before typing?

A coach who wins two conference championship over 15 years is not a great coach.

The difference between Mack and Dabo is that Dabo had zero conference competition during the run he had of making it to the national title game. Also, CFP for Dabo. 
 

If Mack had the same level of conference competition as Dabo, he would have had about half a dozen more undefeated regular seasons and conference championships and that many national title appearances

A person crapping on Mack Brown tells me all I need to know about them as a fan. Unless you are 60 years old or more, Mack Brown is the only coach you could have ever watched win a national title for the University of Texas.

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
