Mack Brown Retirement Rumors

[bbdude]

If you have been on Twitter for the last hour or so you have more than likely heard the rumors about Mack Brown and a possible retirement after the Baylor game on Saturday.

TRUTH? FICTION?

Hard to imagine unless he has some health or family issues we don't know about. No, I'm not talking about Urban Meyer....

It's bullshit. Timing just isn't right.

I can't see any retirement announcements from Mack until at least after the bowl game. If he does choose to retire at least it will be on his own will and not a forced exit. If he does choose to go, it opens the door to an interesting market for a new head coach in the offseason. Or maybe Manny Diaz gets a promotion...

Mack will be back next year but here is an interesting tidbit. Again just a rumor but Chris Peterson from Boise State is liked very much by UT administration. WHEN Mack decides to leave if Peterson is willing and able to come to Texas then he most likely will. Reuniting him with Harsin would be something powerful!!!!

Mack writes his own ending at Texas though.

Supposedly Mack is tired and his age is catching up to him. Doesn't feel like he has the patience to go through another rebuilding year with Texas. The QB position is a huge thorn in his side. School admin is supposed to meet with Mack after this season to get a better handle on when the program is headed back to being a top powerhouse. Shuttlesworth had a good article today on this.

I read the article and it sounds like UT wants to have a game plan from Mack as to how long, realistically, it will take to get back to the top. Longhorn fans are chomping at the bit to dominate again and it is fair to assess how long that will take. Mack will be back next year and like it has already been said, he writes his own ending to the story.
