Coaching News and Rumors

[UTSUgrad]

No doubt Mack brought us back to greatness. And for that, he deserves a considerable amount of credit. The question is, how long does he get a pass for what was accomplished, through the 2009 season? And, what was the nature of his exit.

Had he exited graciously, Mack would be revered by “every” Longhorn fan today. Instead, his exit was tumultuous and self-centered. It damaged the program and for many, tainted his legacy.

Just speaking for myself, even today, I cannot look at or listen to Mack Brown without having a sense of phoniness and absence of sincerity .

Grateful to Mack for everything he did for us, but wish he had retired from coaching at Texas in 2009. He’d have a statue by now.

Once worked for an executive who told me …”The biggest mistake CEOs make is not knowing when to leave.” He announced his retirement, spent a year being thanked and appreciated and went off to spend time with his grandchildren.

People that have the drive to reach positions that high up the mountain often (not always) have big egos. Some end up ruining their legacy that way.

Clock ticking on Herman.

 

[SabreHorn]

Hopefully those two get a severance package and get an early start on working the coaches' convention in (??) February

Of course, with Herman the problem could be the color of their urine rather than the performance of their athletes.

Or they left their water bottle somewhere.

He might now make enough money that he moves his "residence" from Motel 6 all the way up to the Hampton Inn.

Has his hair gotten any better?

SN,

Ease up; you have no idea how much he gets from Brillo Soap Pads for his endorsement

[SabreHorn]

WOW! Not even Huey P was that mean, but then the truth hurts, and while he is a really good coach, Kelly is damn near impossible to like

The dreaded vote of confidence

[SabreHorn]

I question if they have the money to fire him, but more importantly do they have the money to buy someone else; then who do they go after? Is there really an "attractive" coach out there?

How about Kelly?

 

[LonghornDave]

I don't believe OU will do well in the SEC long term. Too much competition for athletes and Norman = Starkville.

Vote of confidence...

This is president-speak for “If you have a better option and the cash to swing it, I’m all ears”.

Did Dr Boren ever issue a statement like that? I love the OU game more than any game we play, but if they are an also ran, it will be like playing Rice, or bad Tech, or bad TCU. I really fear OU will become another Miss State, and the game I love will be more about Fletcher's, Momma Fernies' Funnel Cakes, and Glen & Sherri's sausage than beating our most hated rival.

I agree with a lot of that Sabre. Those wins in ‘08 and ‘09 were particularly sweet. But I also feel like ou kicked our asses more often than not over the last 15 years when we were mostly down. I would love for us to return the favor and win 8 or 9 of the next 10 against those jerk offs.

I think OU is in real trouble and I approve. Venables will bring them down for multiple years.
