Title: Mack Brown Soap Opera in High Gear Post by: Marshal Dillon on December 10, 2013, 10:25:51 AM This story seals it for me that they HAVE to let Brown go.
Quote Brown, the third-longest tenured coach in FBS, has a buyout of only $2.75 million if he is let go before Dec. 31, 2014. He agreed to the buyout when his contract was extended through the 2020 season last January. Quote While $2.75 million might not seem like a small severance, it's paltry considering the fact Brown is owed about $40 million after this season. That means the payoff would represent less than 7 percent of the total value of his contract. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/10109592/mack-brown-only-line-275-million-buyout-texas-longhorns-make-coaching-change :think: Title: Re: Mack Brown Soap Opera in High Gear Post by: Marshal Dillon on December 10, 2013, 10:27:39 AM But wait, there is more to the story. They are laying the groundwork for a change. Remember, they have already dropped the AD, another friend of Mack.
Quote University of Texas System regents say they’re planning to discuss the employment of Austin campus President Bill Powers, who has sparred with lawmakers and critics over his job in recent years. http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/college-sports/texas-longhorns/20131209-could-mack-brown-lose-an-ally-texas-bill-powers-to-be-reviewed-by-regents.ece Title: Re: Mack Brown Soap Opera in High Gear Post by: Marshal Dillon on December 10, 2013, 10:33:53 AM AND ONE MORE THING!!
Quote Give Mack Brown credit. Without his starting quarterback and with a handful of key injuries throughout the year, he had Texas within 30 minutes of a BCS bowl. It wasn’t always easy on the eyes, but the season never truly got away. Quote With that worthy disclaimer on the table, Texas will likely look long and hard at making a change at head coach. If it does decide to go this route—and a change seems both likely and appropriate—it may not have to search far and wide to find the ideal replacement. No, not Nick Saban. Let’s stop this, please. Jon Gruden? Again, let's not. But landing current conference foe Mike Gundy is possible, and he should be the name at the top of the (realistic) wish list. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1880287-texas-vs-baylor-if-this-was-the-end-of-mack-brown-whos-next Title: Re: Mack Brown Soap Opera in High Gear Post by: Catch Prothro on December 10, 2013, 10:42:06 AM AND ONE MORE THING!! Mike Gundy? He's not realistic either. He played football at Oklahoma State, and they've got money to match Texas. Plus, he's a man, he's (at least) 40.Quote Give Mack Brown credit.

Oklahoma State grad or not the Texas job is a huge step up to one of the elite college programs. He would have to at least think about it.
Title: Re: Mack Brown Soap Opera in High Gear Post by: KoKoPuf on December 10, 2013, 11:54:01 AM Rumor has it that there is friction between Gundy and T. Boone and Gundy is looking to leave. And speaking of T. Boone, some bad investments have taken a toll, he no longer is on the Forbes 400 list of richest people. ($1B or more)
Title: Re: Mack Brown Soap Opera in High Gear Post by: McBaman on December 10, 2013, 01:24:56 PM Well $$$ talks so this is something they will have to consider. How can the Trustees defend walking into such a large obligation?
But before UTx dumps MB they need to have a pretty good idea of who they'll be hiring. Where would you put the odds that MB just outright retires? I wouldn't completely dismiss that possibility.

We have a great coach who has spoiled us and we know it. We expect more and more wins and NC rings. I just wonder if CNS would retired if he had won the 3 peat? He would have something no other did before him. This might be a good omen for us. Time will tell. Let's now set our sights on oklahoma and whipping them worse than Mich. ST. by 20 points. RTR!

So it should be no surprise that a bunch of Saban-to-Texas rumors have burst into life in the last few hours. It's important to note that Brown hasn't even officially resigned yet, and no one knows anything about whether Saban is actually interested in leaving Alabama. Take most of these with a hefty dose of salt, and some of them not at all. http://www.businessinsider.com/nick-saban-texas-rumors-2013-12 Title: Re: Mack Brown Soap Opera in High Gear Post by: Catch Prothro on December 11, 2013, 10:03:19 AM Mack Brown denied the rumors, saying he was recruiting in Florida.
When does Mack Brown ever recruit in Florida? ??? Title: Re: Mack Brown Soap Opera in High Gear Post by: Reelvalue on December 11, 2013, 10:10:39 AM If Mack Brown steps down...do not be surprised if the name Mike Gundy surfaces...
