I wonder if Mack..............

[DizzG]

Will be at the press conference tomorrow? I think DKR was at Mack's. Im gonna say no but have never heard if he was actually going to have his ceremonial position with powers or not

 

[athenslawyer]

Do not want.

 

[Alouha27]

I would like him to be there. It would be nice if we can put the past behind us and show solidarity going forward IMO.

Oh c'mon...Waldo's much thinner than Mack! Lolol

 

[TheContractor]

Mack needs to stay away from the state of Texas for a long time

 

[Lord Vader]

Its inappropriate for Mack Brown to be there.

DKR wasn't forced out.

DKR wasn't forced out.

But he did not leave on good terms either. A lot of bad blood there before Mack came.

As for Mack he should swallow his pride and show up for the press conference. I agree he should not, and I don't think he wants to be, around UT for a good while. However this simple gesture would be a good start for him.

However I doubt it.

Mack was not replacing DKR and DKR was returning as a hero after being shunned by the program (and certain, now dead regents). This will be a day for Charlie Strong and Steve Patterson and a new direction for the program. It would be a distraction to say the least and take away from what is Patterson's and Strong's day. That said, I wouldn't put past ol' Mack to show up like a turd in the punch bowl.

Hook'em!

I think if he accepts the special assistant position withing the university he needs to show up in a passing of the baton type role.

 

[palmettohorn]

Apples and oranges.

 

[PTA]

My gut says Mack will not be there. If he is, I'm sure he'll be clapping.

 

[cujo0622]

mack is in Tenn with family from everything ive heard

 

[DizzG]

Mack has been tweeting random quotes today, but nothing about strong...no good luck, etc.

After the Alamo Bowl, mack said he would be stepping away for a while. I do not expect to see him at the presser, and, frankly, prefer that he not be there so we can focus on the future. After a few years, it will be nice to see him show up, but for now, he needs to enjoy being on vacation.

 

[streettopeschel]

dkr had been retired 20 years when mack came on board. dkr was also instrumental in mack being hired.

mack's situation currently is much different and it would be awkward as hell for all parties for him to be at the presser.

He shouldn't be there-- we're moving forward and the past should stay that way.

What exactly does his $500,000 special asst. position entail? I know he's trying to squeeze the university for more than double that? That's a lot of money for a "special" assistant of any position. What exactly is this?
