El Mahico post on OB

[Hoekem]

you don't think retaining mack would be a tough call?[
Sure, but firing him will harder...

That certainly differs from what Mcphaul (and several others) has been reporting and certainly what Jesus reported on IT today. He's 100% Mack is ou
I like El Mahico but I get the idea whoever he talks to is more on the Bellmont side of things, and he's being used for some smoke. He's been claiming things like Mack can do whatever he wants..that its totally up to him, and that Saban told UT no several months ago...which no one else has heard and the complete and total opposite is being reported elsewhere in pretty great detail. Not even Ketch on OB (who has been very conservative on everything ) thinks Mack will be back

And he hasn't come over to Hornsports during this time.

Seems far fetched. Mack will ruin any semblance of goodwill he has left by holding the program hostage another yr.

People that question El machio need to realize they need to take what their insiders are saying with a grain of salt as well. Seems like everyone is going by what they want to hear and believe instead of what's going on.

This could shed some light on things. Someone there askes about him working for Ketchum

Patterson is getting paid $1 mil +. At that level you are expected to make tough calls and be right.

I'm sick and tired of paying a football coach $5mil+ to get rolled every single year by the likes of Bronco Mendenhall and paying an AD seven figures to sidestep tough decisions. The softness in the program has started at the top and permeated the entire program.

Its time for the bullsh!t to end. Make tough calls, reap rewards for being a leader and pay the price for having bad judgment. Its what Texas should be about.

El Mahico followed up in the thread and said the 2 people talked to are convinced Mack will be back... I am convinced he is being fed BS information for sure now.

OK what if he is right.. I mean what if? It could become the 2014 Mack Brown farewell tour...

As in farewell to the fanbase?

If Mack comes back, It will be one of those most destructive events in program history. I pray to God he steps aside. I don't want to have to turn on a new AD who is just days into his position. PLEASE, Mack, do not do this to the program. Enough damage has been done since the game passed Mack by. If Mack comes back I think he will be the most reviled figure in the history of UT athletics. The inevitable blowouts next year will be unbearable and will tear the program apart.

There will definitely be gnashing of teeth...

 

[Lord Vader]

Under Brown in 2014, I can see a 2-4 or 3-3 start to the year, perhaps a 7-5/6-6 finish.

 

[Darrell McPhaul]

This makes no sense

 

[kayur]

This makes no since!

Please tell me your sources are hearing the exact opposite.

 

[Shaunsters]

El Mahico source is currently a Texas coach. Don't believe everything you hear. Especially when that coach is most likely done at Trxas when the new coach comes in

I like EM and dont mean to sound like Im knocking on him. He's always been a nice guy even in the face of taking tremendous crap over there

but he's certainly changed after the "incident". Rather its actually because of that or just a coincidence...its hard to not notice. Maybe he's just reporting what he has been told and isn't actively part of some play, but I think whoever he talks to has a goal to put out some smoke and push an agenda of Mack will go out making this call himself, and that no BMD's, Powers, BOR's, etc are putting any pressure on which I just dont buy.

I dont think EM has anything to do with OB, but I do think he's being careful for some reason with what he posts, and the fact he's suddenly claiming things no one else has remotely heard like its all up to Mack and there is no pressure on him makes no logical sense in the face of such conflicting info by other respectable people with legit track records as well

Even if Mack came back is he going to hire a new staff? as a lame duck? who exactly would be left on campus? reports today have multiple on his staff heading for the exits sooner rather than later

Sure it does. If we beat Baylor we win at least a co championship. If OSU loses we win outright.

Are we going to tell potential coaches that winning a Big XII title is not good enough.

 

[Baghorn]

None at all, he's playing up the smoke to provide the appearance Mack is making this decision on his own. At this point, it's probably the only smoke that really matters. With the loss to Auburn on Saturday, I'm not really sure if Saban really has any reason to care anymore about "distractions" in the form of questions about Texas. It's probably in his best interests at this point for the Texas stuff to come out into the open honestly....at least it will be once Alabama is completely eliminated from any chance of playing in the MNC game.

Which is what was in that thread link I posted. Interesting........

Anyone else see this "phantom" thread over there regarding retirement?
