From a guy calling himself "1TimePoster"...(it has since been erased)
This will be my first and only time to post to OrangeBloods.
I just walked out of a meeting with regents Foster, Powell, Hildebrand
as well as Deloss Dodds, Steve Patterson, Bill Powers, a representative for Joe
Jamil (Mr. Jamil was on the phone during the meeting) as well as Mack Brown.
The time line has been set for his retirement and the
announcement will come December 2, 2013 during Mack Brown's press conference
after the players have had their Q&A with the media. Mack will come back out and make the
announcement and take a few questions and then will promptly hand the mic over
to Powers who will go on to say a few nice words about Mack and his career and
how much he meant to us, so on and so on.
Deloss will be sitting there, but wont speak. Patterson will speak next and talk about how
much respect he has for Mack Brown and how he is going to keep Mack in the
program and will be part of the hiring of his replacement. A few details about a retirement celebration
will be given etc.
We also discussed if this announcement should be made now or
later. I was the lone vote for making
the announcement now. I feel that you,
the fans, have a right to know and this will help us rally the fans so to
speak. I didn't win.
I feel this should also be said. Mack Brown was in no way fired. He called the meeting and was not happy with
having to make the decision, but the decision was entirely his. He was not forced out. Powers, Patterson and every one in the room
tried several times to talk Mack out of this and assured him he was here until
the end of his contract. He made the
choice and we accepted his resignation and set the plans you've just read.
I'm not posting here for internet points. It doesn't really matter if you believe it or
not, but it's the honest to God truth.
