latest update from Chip will make you hate Mack even more

[gecko]

And I should believe Chip now because.........

 

[uttailgaters]

Jamail and McCombs are the only BMDs calling the shots now the others have been exposed and neutered. That was the plan all along. This allows the new AD to control the message from this point forward.

This.

I simply cannot believe that the effort to get Saban was a uniform, unanimously supported decision and that one man stopped it (Mack).

That's an extremely simple and convenient explanation for an exceedingly complex situation.

Seems like chip isn't holding back and is pissed. I'm inclined to think he's spilling the beans

... ESPN Radio, for what it's worth, this morning quoted Powers & Patterson as saying that it is in Mac's court and his decision....

If this is true, then Patterson should just leave now. I do not see how he or the perception of him could ever recover. The boos are going to be raining down if Mack is on the sidelines again.

What a horrible state of affairs.

What was the point to begin with? Dodds could have done all this without ever leaving bed.

Was this part of the package when he signed on? Is he afraid of Mack? Afraid of someone(s) else? What good is a scared AD? He was supposed to be a bold instigator of change.

And since when do employees determine when their employment contracts are terminated? Patterson must have somehow avoided Contract Law because this is not how it works.

I've been saying this all year but you people would stop going to the damn games and giving them money it would send a MUCH bigger message than booing. An empty stadium would be very embarrassing to these idiots in bellmont.

Interesting question. Which is worse?

Empty seats or a consistent crescendo of boos?

I vote boos since it will be clear to Mack (as well as Steve, Bill and Deloss) who they are directed at.

We already know they notice - as MB's mug was never shown again on the jumbotron after he was booed once.

 

[TexasSasquatch]

Money talks....no more games for me, no merchandise, no nothing until he is gone.

Honestly, boos are not clear whom they are intended for. We don't want the players/recruits feeling that hate when it's intended for big wigs. It most certainly is not clear.

 

[Baghorn]

That is actually one of the most accurate articles Chip has ever written. He just cut loose with the truth and quit being a pawn.

I think it will be clear enough. The players and recruits have to know Mack is becoming hated and reviled by a growing segment of the fan base.

 

[jc77]

All these guys have got their feelings hurt and are trying to save face. they need to quit trying to stir crap up, Everything is going to work out in its own time.

 

[chrisgb2000]

ESPNs Holly Rowe reported that decision on his future is Mack's & Mack's alone & that mack has the support of powers & Patterson! As far as chip brown goes come Monday his radio show will be interesting especially if mack is the coach!

 

[Embrey]

So if booing is too ambiguous as to whom it is directed, what word, phrase or action could be used from the stands that is clearly a vote of no confidence for MBTF?

VONC? (Vote of no confidence?)

Sack Mack? Wearing sacks over your horns to show displeasure with the man in charge.

A pledge drive from the SMD's (small $ donors) that would raise MB's buyout. $20 maximum donation. If he does not accept the bargain then donate the $ to the Salvation Army or some other worthy cause.

Quack for Mack? Everybody bring duck calls to the Alamo Bowl.

Help me out here.

People that hate on Chip and OBs crack me up. All they've reported is that Mack will be stepping down...which still could very well happen. They got the timing wrong, because Mack purposefully screwed things up for Texas hiring Saban. I don't blame them for being "wrong" and I don't blame McPhaul for being "wrong" about the details of the situation. Things happen that we who aren't in control of the situation can't control, period. The situation is frustrating, but the people doing the reporting on the situation aren't to blame IMO. We're all on the same team, we want Texas to be great again and we know that Mack HAS to go in order for that to happen. Hopefully we'll still see a positive resolution to this thing. Hook 'em everyone!

 

[dragworm]

I wish the BMDs would tell Powers to fire him or else.

If Powers wont get rid of Mack, then Powers is part of the problem and needs to be removed himself. Yeah, he may be a great academic intellectual type, theoretically great for running a university, but his shortsightedness on this issue is horrible.

 

[uttailgaters]

I hate to disappoint you but football is not the most important venture on the 40.

 

[NWAHorn]

How's that epic failure look now?

 

[abcee]

Saban left a pile of money on the table by agreeing to the Bama re-up. He still has that enormous RE debt.

Sexton has likely burned all bridges with the Longhorns, and, that's important because he can't afford to alienate a school that can afford his higher priced clientele.

Agree with some of the premises of your post, but S&S did suffer some damage.

 

[Davharjac]

He sure did, even made the article free so everyone could see it.

 

[beevomav]

why are you guys listening to him anymore? guy is trying to save face after his epic failure.

Chip like a lot of others was just reporting what he heard.
