Texas Longhorns and CU coaching search overlap

UT locks up Gary Anderson. We take Mack.

No thank you.

UT doesn't like being in aTm's shadow. Sumlin and Johnny Football are the rave of Texas. Brown probably is a dead man walking.

Hmmm. I could see UT taking a shot at getting Sumlin. No matter how rich aggie is, cow is richer. Plus, the job is way better.

I'd take Mack circa 2005 in a heartbeat.

Would we get Vince Young too?

Getting VY through admissions would have been a Herculean task.

And getting Mack Brown back to 2005 isn't? Sorry for being the unrealistic one here...

they will offer Saban a huge ranch and tons of cash - that will be UT's target

I can only imagine the meltdown in Aggieland if that did happen but I don't think the UT job is that much better than the A&M job right now. I can imagine UT fans are seething right now from all the attention that A&M is getting this year in football...that SEC move is paying off big already. Getting whipped by OU in Dallas and A&M's success in the SEC is killing those puke orange cow fans...that brings a smile to my face.

I've spoken with a handful of people who go to every UT event imaginable. They all say the same thing. The guy has aged tremendously over the past 3 years. He hit a wall.

I think MB's situation is more like Lloyd Carr at UM or Phil Fulmer at UT; both guys won championships and did great things, but then started sliding for various reasons. Plus, i think mack is quite a bit younger than Bowden and JoePa were when they were fighting to stay on.

I think nearly everyone associated with Texas likes MB and what he's done. However, I think most feel that you can't get paid $5m/year--at a school like Texas with its resources--to produce middle of the pack results. Sure, you did great things, but you already got paid big bucks for those accomplishments. Yesterday is gone.

Thats just what I heard and not from fans, fill in the blanks. Htown, what you said is pretty much what I heard.

This. If Bama wins another title this year there's a chance Saban might actually leave. I think UGA will beat them though.

I actually think Georgia wins also

Mack can recruit, but struggles coaching without his radio.

After watching the Anderson I am really starting to warm up to the idea.
