I don't believe this either.

We get a new AD, Brown and Rick Barnes will stay on?
One and done for both of them or something is really rotten.

Remain coach till the bowl game is finished perhaps.

[symple19]

Auburn is still after John Bonney. AU assistants Melvin Smith and Charlie Harbison visited him last week.

Still seems like a long shot, imo. Hoke says "they may have a chance" to get an official.

Hard to sift through the confusion right now. Burton has proven he's a friend of Mack and Bellmont and will do them favors (see the Dodds retirement), so it's hard to take him seriously. It's possible this tweet served a purpose to give Mack more time to go out on his own terms. I know Mack was extremely pissed off by the timing of Chip's report this week.

Frankly, the only way I can see that Saban picked Bama over Texas is if Mack chose not to step down. There is no way in hell Texas would chose to keep Mack if Saban called them up and said, "Hey I've decided to stay with Bama". I can accept Saban picking Bama over Texas, but I can't accept that Texas would pick Mack because Saban said no, it makes no sense at all. I guess there are no other good coaches that want 7 million a year?

Texas recruits react to Mack Brown news
December, 14, 2013
By Damon Sayles | ESPN.com

The inevitable is now a reality. At the start of 2014, Mack Brown will no longer be the head coach of the Texas Longhorns.

After a week of drama within the Forty Acres that would make some soap operas jealous, one of college football's most interesting stories was stamped with an ending. Texas announced Saturday that Brown will resign following the Longhorns game against Oregon in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Dec. 30. Per the Longhorn Network, Brown already has informed the team of his incoming resignation.

For college football recruits, Brown's news means a completely new era of Texas football. Many of the prospects committed to Brown's program were mere toddlers when he left North Carolina to take over at Texas in 1998. The majority of 2014 commits were born in 1995 or 1996.

What will Brown's departure mean? For some of the 23 commits, consider it a wait-and-see process. For most of them, consider it a new chapter -- one they're looking forward to.

One thing's for certain: The recruits were big fans of Brown not only as a coach but as a person.

"He was really close to my family and made UT feel like it's the best place to be for four years of my life," ESPN 300 dual-threat quarterback Jerrod Heard said. "He really cares about you and your family. He talks more about you and less about your skills like other [coaches] do. It's personal."

Heard, regarding whether or not he'll shop around for another school, said he'll "be patient and see who comes in." Heard added that he isn't expecting to play anywhere else but Texas.

One player who said he's still solid with the Longhorns is offensive lineman Terrell Cuney (Jasper, Texas/Jasper). The nation's No. 5 center said that while he grew up a big Brown fan, his love for his favorite team runs deeper.

"I grew up loving the Longhorns. I always played with them on the [video] game," Cuney said. "I always said if I had the opportunity to go, I would. I love the program and the school.

"I love Mack. He always will be the same guy to me. When I had a chance to talk to him, he was always cool. He always welcomed me to the Longhorn family."

Three-star wide receiver commit Dorian Leonard (Longview, Texas/Longview) added: "I just want to wish him good luck with everything, [but] I'm still strong with Texas."

The Longhorns' top-ranked commit, ESPN 300 defensive end Derick Roberson (San Antonio/Brennan) hasn't had much time to think about college, as his team is preparing for the Texas Class 4A Division I state championship game next week. Erick Roberson, the father of the nation's eighth-ranked defensive end, said nothing has changed with his son's opinions of Texas post-Brown.

"Coach Brown has been nothing but a wonderful person during Derick's recruitment," Erick Roberson said. "Although we are saddened at this news, we wish [Brown] and his lovely wife nothing but the best."

Brown's 16-season career includes a 158-47 record, four Big 12 South titles and two Big 12 championships. And then there's the 2005 national championship that starred Vince Young and the 2010 national-championship appearance, in which Texas lost to Alabama after losing Colt McCoy to a first-quarter shoulder injury.

The 2005 season is where many of the commits -- as elementary-school stars -- began paying attention to the Longhorns. Nineteen of the 22 2014 commits and all eight of the 2015 commits hail from the state of Texas. Brown, like Longhorns coaches before him, made the state a priority, and he made sure that the best in the state kept his program as a primary option.

"I loved him. Thought he was an amazing coach and such a better person who cared about his players," said ESPN 300 defensive end Solomon Thomas, an uncommitted target considering Texas, Stanford, Oklahoma, Notre Dame and several other schools. "[It's] sad he had to resign. It's hard to replace someone who knew football so well but loves his players and cares for the better and life of them."

Texas three-star 2015 offensive tackle pledge Connor Lanfear (Buda, Texas/Hays) added "It's saddening news, because you hate to see such a great coach and person resign. I really would have enjoyed playing for him."

While most commits are still set on playing for Texas sans Brown, the idea of players being questionable about their college plans will surface. ESPN 300 linebacker Otaro Alaka (Houston/Cypress Falls) said he hasn't decommitted but will weigh other options.

"Coach Brown's a great guy. Before I committed, he said he's not going anywhere," Alaka said before the announcement became official Saturday. "He was pretty significant."

One of Texas' primary targets, ESPN 300 safety Jamal Adams (Lewisville, Texas/Hebron) on Saturday said he's no longer considering the Longhorns. Adams told ESPN that LSU and Florida are now his teams to beat.

"[It] just didn't seem sure he was going to stay," Adams said of Brown.

The Longhorns aren't expecting to lose a large number of recruits -- if any -- when national signing day comes in February. The next couple of days will be huge for Texas, as it looks to find a replacement for Brown and also get in touch with its commits and targets.

Starting Dec. 31, life after Brown begins. But don't expect a run of decommitments.

"Maea and Sione are still committed and are not decommitting," said Robert Taliaferro, guardian of 2014 three-star pledge Sione Teuhema (Keller, Texas/Keller) and his brother, ESPN Junior 300 offensive lineman Maea Teuhema. "We committed to the University of Texas, not to Mack Brown."

"It doesn't affect my pledge to the Longhorns," 2015 three-star cornerback commit Jalen Campbell (Corpus Christi, Texas/Flour Bluff) said. "I'm happy for Coach Brown; whatever choice he would have made, I was 100 percent behind him, and I wish him the best."

Mack deserves better. These moles who want to air private agreements via the rumor mill have strange intentions. Chip Brown etc... I understand their gig. Don't particularly like it but I will read it of course. I hope Mack can have some sort of role with recruiting. Not necessarily picking the recruits, but talking with the TX HS football coaches etc. The guy is clearly a salesman. I know the coaches in our area really like him on a personal level.

Fuck Mack. He screwed over the program because he was asshurt he couldn't pass DKR.

You have no idea the state of Texas recruiting before Mack.

Why do you think Texas can go after top coaches and kids Einstein?

Mack. That's right T-shirt.

He stayed too long and lost his edge, it happens. But he has some pride and he should.

Where was Williams recruited from?

Lets hear about the WHOLE of Texas recruiting? You don't know squat. We got out recruited badly in this State. Fairly consistently by Slocum.

[Michael Jordan.]

All that recruiting must be why he's got 2 conference championships in 16 years. And smoked by Stoops Got it. But Mack has not and will never be the program. Fuck him for holding the program hostage.

[leemajors]

Mack put the program back together, that's not really up for debate. Mackovic left a mess behind. 66-3 in the stands was awful. Dead quiet.

so pretty similar to the situation right now then with Sumlin?

Mack sucks donkey dick at recruiting these days. guess kids stop taking you seriously when you can't even get a double digit in the win column.

How is it that Texas can command top revenue? For ANY School. Was that Mackovic?

Mack put Texas back together. But you don't get this. You see the now, you don't know the history of the program.

This still does not excuse the fact that Mack has lost the football end. And has for a while.

Ok.

Compare Stoops bowl record with Mack? Things are not all lovely with Stoops at Oklahoma. Their final rankings suffer after their bowl blunders. What does it say about a coach who can't get his kids back on track after a long break?

FYI Mack's retirement press conference should start at 1 p.m.

Not sure which channels will air it.

[TFloss32]

WR Emanuel Porter of Dallas Lincoln visited TCU yesterday.

He hasn't officially de-committed but word is he will be opening things up.

[TFloss32]

Two new rumors from HornSports...

-Mack had dinner with Art Briles last week concerning the Texas job

-Urban Meyer's representation has already called

RUMOR

There are a few versions of this story, but supposedly the big money guys felt Powers and Mack purposely stalled the retirement announcement all week to derail the Saban deal. Following Friday's news that Mack was intending on staying as coach and Saban had re-signed with Alabama, several calls were made to Powers on Saturday morning basically saying "no more money until Mack is out." That news somehow got back to Mack and the decision was made it was time to step aside.

Porter is one of the better receivers in this class but we can afford to lose him.

[pgardn]

That was one of the most humiliating loses ever. We gave up. The bowl game against Iowa was awful as well. MJ was not around to watch a team give up on a coach.

[pgardn]

And Mack repeated Mackovic's mistake, tbh....

Mackovic did not did not advance the program. He left Texas with all the Texas HS coaches hating him and no recruiting base. The money raising he did was peanuts compared to Mack. The only similarity is staying too long.

Jesus, people on this board have walked into the middle of a movie like a child, and make up what happened during the part they missed.

If you had said it with any brevity and without the t-shirt references people would have agreed with you.

[Needs More Bourbon]

Because a person disagrees that Mack should be forgiven for letting the program rot and for holding the program hostage doesn't make him a "t-shirt fan," which is among the more pathetic and hackneyed insults, by the way. He did great things. He also did shitty things. The end.

[Bloeddyr10]

Theres a few reports out there that Stacy Searels is on his way to Florida.

Bo Davis is apparently a strong candidate for the DL job at Arkansas.

Neither is confirmed, yet.

No argument here. Not going to school there does make you one though tbh.

Disagree. Some t-shirts are cool but a lot are idiots, the term is a good way to differentiate the educated, reasonable fan from those idiots imo.

So let's hear your rendition of Texas recruiting under McWilliams and Mackovic smartass?

Go through those years. Tell the board about the state of recruiting at Texas.

Okay, lets face it, from the 1980's and before, Texas had a real image problem. It was viewed by the black community as a racist school. Fred Akers didn't help matter much, and guys like Barry Switzer and Jackie Sherrill really hammered it home to lots of recruits. Akers himself was a arrogant ass who treated the high school coaches in the state like shit and they in turn sent the best athletes to Miami, FSU, UCLA, Notre Dame, A$M, and Oklahoma. At one point Texas couldn't recruit anyone off the Texas top 100 much less the national top 100. That's pretty much when the Wheels fell off in 1984-85.

When Akers was fired we brought in David McWilliams, a great defensive coach but couldn't coach offense to save his life. He gave us some good defenses and some of the worst offenses in our history. His saving grace was he recruited Keith and Kerry Cash (two personal friends of mine) and Johnny Walker. Defensively we pulled in some fantastic football players. What we couldn't recruit was linebackers and runningbacks, two positions that aggsy had a stranglehold on.

When MackII came in, He was the offensive genius we were looking for but he couldn't coach defense to save his like. Mack II could recruit offensive players as good as anyone in the country. He even brought in a few gems on defense like Bryant Westbrook, Quintin Jammer, and a few others. Oh and a guy named Ricky Williams.

If MacII could coach defense he would have had a longer career at Texas but he was responsible for some of the worst defenses we ever had at Texas.

When Mack Brown came in, he closed the boarders, Texas still sent kids to Oklahoma, LSU and and once in a while a Big 12 OOS school, but no longer was Miami and FSU stealing the best in Texas. For all of Mack Brown's faults, he is a great ambassador for the school when it comes to the high school coaches here.

[FkLA]

Nope. You ?

[td4mvp2k]

[pgardn]

My definition of t-shirt: Jumped on board when times were good, don't know squat about the history of the program.

I went to UT 6.5 school years, BS and Masters. I am not as big a fan as people who did not attend the school who know all recruits and coaches, live and die with every loss. They are bigger fans. 4 generations of UT grads in my family yet I know people who are bigger better fans that did not go to UT. But to be ignorant of a program's history causing wild conclusions (Mack sucked and sucks) that's just BS. That's T shirt.

That would be Michael Jordan.

As a UT fan I don't expect a NC. I expect to see good football. What we saw this year was 8-4 BAD football. Oklahoma, TCU, TT we played well. Our opposition did not imo. That's about it.

[FkLA]

I've been round and round about the t-shirt fan thing so there's no reason to go through it again. Those who use it are just using it as a very poor trolling attempt.

Major conference NCAA football is a business, just like the NFL, NBA and MLB...with the University heads playing the role of owners. In Texas, people who are NBA fans will chose the Rockets, Spurs or Mavericks...NFL fans will choose the Texans or the Cowboys...MLB fans will chose the Astros or Rangers...and NCAA football fans will choose the Aggies or the Longhorns. There is a separate dynamic with alumni angle, but overall it runs because it's a business that depends on the casual fan for success...just like pro sports.

So if one was to make a distinction about fans, it would be just like any other sport...loyal fans and bandwagon fans...which seems to be the same angle you are taking.

Technically if they didn't attend they're all t-shirt even the good fans. Nothing wrong with friendly t-shirters though. The pompous ones are the idiots and more likely than not make up the worst people of a college football teams fanbase.

Between non college attenders like you and say MJ, then sure thats the only distinction.

When it comes to the pros, every fan is, by definition, a "t-shirt fan." It has zero impact on their ability to support their team or to judge the ownership's/AD's decision-making. It's a childish attempt to discredit someone's opinion — like saying you can't talk to me about African American history because you're not African American.

College Football is similar to the pros in terms of profit/scale. And in that sense tshirters are an integral part of it.

There's another part of CF that is more like HS football though, the student/alumni side of it and tshirters don't really fit in there. WTF do yall do during the singing of an alma mater for example, you join in ?

[TFloss32]

When was he offered? I thought this was the dead period in recruiting.

"The dead period is often the most misunderstood recruiting period by fans and recruits. A dead period prohibits in-person contact at any location between a coach and a prospective student-athlete. However, telephone calls are still permitted at a rate of one per week, per prospective student-athlete. In addition to telephone calls, coaches are also allowed to write recruits using e-mail or printed letters. At no time is a coach allowed to text message a prospective student-athlete, regardless of whether the prospective student-athlete sends a text message to a coach."

I didn't ever take the James Franklin to Texas hype serious and still am not sure that it could happen but I am intrigued by his youth and fiery attitude that preaches accountability. A couple things that have apparently been missing down in Austin. I believe the players at UT would respond well to his methods of coaching. A video I'll post even shows that his assistant coaches and players exude the same fiery approach as Franklin. Don't take this the wrong I am not saying this would translate to wins I just think it would be a great transition from what we are accustomed to. http://youtu.be/X5bkDMGZA1I

I'd rather have Franklin than Strong. JMO

[Clipper Nation]

Neither of them have a fantastic track record (even though Vandy's winning, Franklin has only beaten one ranked team and it was this year's injury-riddled Georgia team), but I think Franklin would be the better choice.... don't really see him coddling players like Mack did, tbh....

[Needs More Bourbon]

Scipio at Barking Carnival wrote a good article deconstructing Franklin's tenure at Vandy. Some excerpts:


The central problem with Franklin is that of all blank slate hires: a lack of record. Given his likability, accompanied by a corresponding lack of context, the optimistic conclusions that are projected into a Franklin future at a place like Texas are downright giddy.


Vanderbilt's historically extraordinary 2012 5-3 SEC conference record was fueled by wins over four awful teams and a one point victory over an average one...Ah, wins increasing as schedule strength plummets. The secret to good living in the SEC lower middle class.


Being a great recruiter has two components - targeting and acquisition. Being a great coach adds another two: deployment and development. His acquisition looks good. His targeting is up in the air. His development and deployment look solid at Vanderbilt, but I'm not sure how they project elsewhere.


He was a subpar to mediocre offensive coordinator at KSU and Maryland who may, frighteningly, think that he's a good one. He's an out-of-step West Coast Offense proponent, championing a system going as quickly out of favor in the current NFL as it is dead in the college game. What offensive philosophy will he hire in? Does he know what good looks like? He looks a like a pretty self-assured guy to me. Do you think he'll take a backseat to his OC and let him run the show?

Ash to return in spring.

If he's able to return to form and be truly healthy, this would work out perfectly for the QB situation. We get to have Ash as a Junior again, and a senior. In the meantime, Jerrod Heard can redshirt and by time Ash graduates, Heard should be ready to step in as a redshirt sophomore. Swoopes should be a solid backup during this time, infinitely better than Case, should Ash get hurt again.


Gotta wonder how this year would have turned out with a full season of healthy Ash and Robinson as DC from the get-go. They definitely don't lose to Ole Piss or BYU with vastly superior defensive fundamentals, and possibly don't lose to Baylor either, as that game was mostly due to Case. Hard to say how the OU game would have went though, as they probably would have taken UT much more seriously than they seemed to, but OU still wasn't that good this year anyways, and way overachieved/overranked for their talent level :lol blake bell.

24/7 saying WR Emanuel Porter has no plans of de-committing as long as Wyatt is retained by the next head coach.

Word is both Porter and Wyatt would like to stick with Texas.

[Needs More Bourbon]

I'm sure he's just trying to get a raise from ESPN, and I was wildly opposed at first as well, but after thinking on it, let me make a defense of Gruden:

1. As far as personality, he's the anti-Mack. He's young, energetic and fiery. He coached the Oakland Raiders — he wouldn't lead a soft team.
2. There are questions about what offense he'd run since the game has changed a lot since he left, but he's had a ton of spare time to study offenses and talk to coaches and players. He was a West Coast guy when he left but is interested in the spread. And I tend to think the truly good coaches are smart enough and flexible enough to adopt whatever offensive and defensive philosophies they need to be successful.
3. He would be a splash hire. I don't know how many recruits would remember him as a coach, but they know him from MNF. There would be jokes, but I think most reasonable football fans would also recognize that he's a tough mofo who's won a Super Bowl.
4. He knows the Xs and Os, which I think is the second-most important quality in our next HC (after point #1 above). He's not a CEO-type coach. I suspect he'd be infinitely better at deploying and developing talent than what we've had for the past several years.

That said, he ain't leaving that cushy ESPN gig, and he doesn't have the extensive college experience Patterson said he wants.

this new coach for texas scene is better than a novela !

[TFloss32]

24/7 reporting, as of this morning, that Gus Malzahn is no longer a candidate for the UT job and the top two is now Jimbo Fisher and Art Briles.

^^^ don't forget saban !

I trust none of these sites, but if I had to pick one guy to make a huge impact, I'd pick Briles. Him recruiting at Texas would kill all momentum aggies have built up.

[Michael Jordan.]

Briles is not an option. The same guy who voted Texas out of the three way tie in 2008 is not an option.

[DesignatedT]

If James Franklin gets an interview I think he'll get the job. Guy will kill it.

If he does get an interview that means Texas has struck out with at least 5 other candidates though.

Pure Speculation on your part.

[DesignatedT]

Pure Speculation on your part.

What is? That I think Franklin will get the job if he interviews? Of course that's speculation, that's why I said "I think".

That Texas has struck out with at least 5 other candidates? There have been reports about Saban, Harbaugh, Kelly, Malzahn, Fisher, Gruden, Shaw, Gundy, Briles, etc.

If they hire Franklin only an idiot would think he was one of their top 5 options at the start of this hunt.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

I don't really care who y'all hire one way or the other, but JF is a pretty good coach, IMO.

Show me a report of anyone other than Saban. All others mentioned are pure internet speculation. When there is actually an interview or real report from a real source I'll take it into account. But to think Texas has 5 strikeouts just because we might or might not hire someone is stupid. But look who I'm talking to.

LOL. Texas will put out feelers to all the big name prospects. They could have had Franklin at any point already if that was their top choice.

[TFloss32]

OrangeBloods saying they were able to confirm Art Briles' new buyout is $4 million.

Hopefully most of you have seen this already. Mack now wants more than double his retirement salary from Texas. This comes after rumors surfaced yesterday that he and Jamail are ready to pursue a lawsuit with the university:

Your boy Chip has been name dropping Briles, Malzahn, Strong, etc as candidates. Its not just the internet.

I believed I used the words real report, ie credible, chip is not credible, and neither is Jesus Shuttleworth

No word if he'll play in the Alamo Bowl.

So were gonna not give him credit for breaking mack's retirement....?

[Clipper Nation]

Not when he retracted the story after that and claimed Mack was staying, then tried to re-backtrack after Mack stepped down, tbh....

[Michael Jordan.]

Chip Brown reported Texas was moving to the Big 10, just sayin.

[Bill_Brasky]

To be fair its hard to get a handle on whats happening when you have so many warring factions at the top. Everyone wants something different it seems. UT is so disorganized in that regard. I mean really let the fuckin AD do what you hired him to do.

exactly, that's why you can't trust the pay sites too many people with an agenda are leaking info and most is BS

[DMX7]

We're in those top lists because of brand value alone (and maybe because Fournette's teammate is a Horn commit). Tony doesn't even seem remotely interested.

I think there's a misinformation campaign going on as well and reporters are rolling with whatever info is given to them.

It seems Chip has covered damn near every possibility at this point with a new name being discussed every day.

Alamo Bowl dance-off:

Inside Texas reported this morning the reason OL Desmond Harrison is not with the team is because a family member had been shot.

24/7 saying DT Hassan Ridgeway is another guy who probably won't play in the Alamo Bowl due to injury.

[Bloeddyr10]

A surprise update from the west coast.

Texas is recruiting TE Bryce Dixon from California pretty hard, per ESPN.

"Texas is really the school sending me the most letters and getting at me. They recruited a tight end at my school a few years ago, as he did pretty good there."

Would LOVE to add him, but who is recruiting him, lol??? He doesn't even know who the coaches are going to be next season.

[bluetrumpet]

Anyone from the staff going to be retained after this season? Are we still waiting till jan 1 to hear more coaching rumors?

[Halberto]

hopefully we keep robinson

[Sisk]

Jimbo has signed his extension. 5 years $20.5. Texas could surely outbid them but yeah.

I think Briles would do a much better job than Jimbo.

Not that that is some crazy prediction.
