Is 'Fire Mack Brown' Talk Fair?
My friend and I had an interesting debate about whether Texas should seriously consider firing Mack Brown. It’s not difficult to find people who do want to fire him, but a lot of the talk you hear is just emotional ranting. But is it a legitimate question?
To begin with, yes, it’s a legitimate question. If you lose five times in a row to Oklahoma, it’s a legitimate question. Maybe that’s a tough standard, but the fans of Texas have high expectations. Mack Brown knew this when he came to town.
With that said, losing over and over to Oklahoma is not enough to fire Mack Brown. (Not yet anyway.) Not when the team is finishing in the top 10 every single year. Not when we’re consistently landing elite recruiting classes.
However, with that said, top 10 success alone is not enough for Mack Brown to be immune from firing. While losing one big game a year is not enough to fire Mack at this point, refusing to fire the most unimaginative offensive coordinator in the country is. Texas held Oklahoma to 12 points. That should be enough for a win.
Mack Brown gets unfairly criticized for not being some kind of play-calling genius. In my view, he doesn’t have to be. At least he doesn’t if he’s consistently surrounding himself with brilliant assistant coaches who are. With Greg Davis running the offense, that’s not the case. And it raises a serious question about whether Texas should continue to let Mack Brown be the head coach.

Well, I am sick of just letting Greg Davis call the conservitive games he always calls and never takes the HEAT for his call. Mack Brown will take the heat for his coaching staff. But, didn't the longhorns hire a defensive corinador this year for 2007? A friend and I had an intresting conversation also, what about hiring Major Applewhite as the new offensive coorinador? Man its time for Greg Davis to be held accountable, I cannnot watch all that talent on the sideline go to waste. If you suffer a concusion should you be allowed to continue to play? Harris needs to have his opportunity "NOW".

DeLoss Dobbs is only concerned with $$ not titles. Mack has ONE conferance title in his life. We should have a 100,000 statium. Mack will be here as long as we have Dobbs. The name of the TEXAS field should be "ALSO RAN"

As the Head Coach at Texas you CAN NOT louse to AM an OU. Mack can not beat either on a consistent basis.Texas should never louse to AM
if we have the better team. Mack can not coach a lick if he can not get his players up for the AM game.
The only reason he won is 2004 and 2005 was Vince Young. MACK MUST GO.

Typical for tu fans...can you idiots actually spell a word correctly? 'Conservitve, corinador, concusion, conferance, louse....are you freaking kidding me? My 7 year old son (who will be an Aggie by the grace of God) can spell better than you fools. I hope you liberal jackasses 'louse' many more games in the coming years. As an Aggie fan, I love Mack, Greg Davis, and especially Akina. Here's a toast to two straight years of kicking your asses with mediocre talent. Gig Em'

By the way dumbshit, your AD is actually named DeLoss Dodds (not Dobbs). If you're going to be critical of someone, it helps to actually know their real name. Liberal dumbass.
