DMAC is on fire! Good stuff....
I think many of us suffered from Mack Brown fatigue after a decade and a half. The slogans, the annual declaration of a "power running game," the sideways passing, the zone read that never pulled the ball out (after Vince) the Diaz defense, survive the surge, defer to the second half, energized, Sally and I, getting blasted by Stoops... its natural for those who follow a program so closely to feel fatigue in hearing the same voice for so long. Fatigue plus a half decade without a QB and he is gone. Many on here cheered for his termination and perhaps are bound and determined to prove that they were absolutely right in doing so?
Look, I get the fatigue, but making any kind of comparison which elevates CS above MB (and doesn't include core values) is lunacy gone sailing! Step back and look at what you are defending for the love of Pete! I don't care what case you are trying to make.... direction of program; hiring coaches, developing players, toughness, I don't care. That's right, I said toughness.... I haven't seen so many lay down, failure to compete, blowout losses since Macovick was running the show..... and you want to make a case that Texas football is now tough? Can't play on the road..... but we're tough?? Recruiting.... sorry, no.
In conclusion I will quote Wikipedia: "The Longhorns are 134-34 under Head Coach Mack Brown overall, and are 82-22 in Big 12 Conference play." And you "direction of the program" people remember... Mack's final three seasons were: 8-5, 9-4, 8-5 with two bowl victories and two top 25 finishes. Yes, well below the standard HE CREATED!
