This is our 4th consecutive sub 10 win season. Mack needs at least 2 more years, but probably 3 to catch DKR. Honestly, it would have been a sham if Mack passed DKR anyways so I'm glad Mack is ( rumored to be ) gone.

You think it would take Mack 3 years to get 9 wins?
Wut?
Even putting football aside, he's worth every penny.

Glad ESPN is free. Right now they're going by the universities response instead of the insiders. Headline currently is "Texas' Mack Brown says he's not stepping down"
By Thursday the headline will read "Texas' Mack Brown steps down"
Just you watch!
This is the same guy, Chip Brown. He's got to be absolutely sure it's true for a story as big as this. If he misses on this he's basically lost all of his credibility.

Pretty sure tuition dollars can't be used to pay for coaches.
Sure they can, coaches are school employees like anyone else. It's just usually only a smaller portion of these mega-contracts, with the majority coming from booster donations to the AD.

There are a lot of politics at play here, amongst the regents, the Tower, and the Belmont. Chip Brown has been used as a pawn, and has blown big stories before because of it. The man's record isn't that sterling.
He is trying to get your 9.95's just like everyone else.

Dallas Morning News has a good rundown: http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/co...n-will-step-down-as-texas-longhorns-coach.ece
Basically, someone on the inside is definitely leaking that Mack Brown is resigning. All public notices, from the AD, Mack, and his lawyer, Joe Jamil, say its a bunch of BS. Yahoo says that Mack is meeting with the AD and the President next week.
AKA: Who knows.

Feel bad for AJ McCarron with this fucked up aunt and uncle story.
I don't know that he has actually signed it yet. I can't see any reason why he'd leave FSU for UT though now that he's got FSU back at the pinnacle of college football. Would be kind of silly to walk away from something you've just re-built.

Who is out there that will satisfy the Texas fans? Saban likely isn't going anywhere. Malzhan and Sumlin just reupped. Lane Kiffin?
Shaw and Sumlin, right? Is Briles in play - I guess he's almost 60.
Malzahn too. He's a Texas fan, if I recall correctly.
Hey, remember how Malzahn rode Mitch Mustain and Darren MacFadden into a coaching gig with Arkansas? He definitely made out the best out of that trio.

Haven't met the guy, but I bet It'd have to be the right job. I can't see him leaving for fucking UCONN or some shit. He's smarter than that.

It was just Mustain, and a lot of people at the time thought it was sort of recruiting tactic to get Mustain iirc.
B1G schools still don't pay that top dollar for assistants compared to other leagues. He makes $500,0000/year.
He'd triple his salary easy by taking a HC position.
Actually, it wasn't MacFadden. It was that wide receiver that went to SC, too...Damian Williams. That's who it was.
I said "rode" for a reason, cashy.

Sumlin and Malzahn just re-upped. I guess it's not impossible for them to leave but it'd probably not be a good look and might be expensive. I'm surprised we don't hear Shaw's name more though.
Baylor people swear he loves it there. Sumlin will always have a wandering eye, but I don't think it is Texas
I get the feeling that Shaw likes the idea of Stanford football too much to leave. I'd seriously consider Malzahn if I were a Texas booster, that contract is chump change compared to Briles.
Nobody "loves it" in Waco.

Pardon my ignorance, but can boosters pay a coaches salary when he is employed by the state? Aren't there some things money from boosters can't go towards ( besides student athletes of course )?

It's like somebody saying they "love it" in Ohio or something. come on, dude.
Booster money can go towards hilariously racist political newsletters from the 90s.
Columbus is like San Francisco compared to Waco.
I was under the impression that coaches salaries are 95% booster money.

That'll teach 'em to plant that flower garden, I'll tell you that.
I don't know if there's a great option out there who's readily available. Malzahn would work great because he's so innovative on offense and will bring excitement and a fresh feel to Texas (not to mention the fact that it's apparently his dream job and he's younger than Saban).
Shaw, Muschamp, Franklin, and guys like that strike me as too conservative. You need to have an offense that puts up points on a consistent basis in the Big 12.

I feel like I'm being judged by my avatar again.
That's probably right. Well in that case Texas has multiple donors near T. Boone Pickens that sneeze millions. I don't think any sort of buyout cost or salary amount for our new coach will deter a hire. We have donors that will come through.
Now apply this same reasoning to Saban.
Because Texas could offer him double what you pay him if they wanted to. You can't win a bidding war against Texas. Texas is still the best job in the country.
Like that Rolling Stone Saban article said - a football field is a football field is a football field. These guys spend so much of their time at one of the three places:
1. Football fields.
2. A swank ass office in a swank ass athletic building.
3. On the road recruiting.
That home hardly matters to them.
A football field in Tuscaloosa is the same as a football field in Tallahassee, Austin, etc.
Well except for Waco. And Lubbock. Because it rains mud in Lubbock and that ain't right.
Shaw seems to be doing alright in the Pac-12. Our offenses are just as good, and we have more than 2 good QBs in the conference.
