Brutal Mack Brown quote about their recruiting

[Problem2]

Lolz


What I've realized is that I like building a lot more than maintaining. We did get to the point where winning seemed so easy and recruiting seemed so easy. We never were in a position where we didn't work. We never felt like we did anything different but we missed on more kids, and I'm not sure we were looking at videos and maybe not following up as much with a kid. We were looking at stars.

Holy Coker, Batman.

He pretty much let Sumlin and TAMU run that state now.

I'm surprised Texas hasn't given Brown the boot yet.

 

[UM2020]

Probably with Texas is they have their classes sewed up to early.

Probably with Texas is they have their classes sewed up to early.

It's also their problem.

Isn't UT the school that once a kid verbally commits they arent allowed to decommit? I remember reading a espn article about 3 big time schools that have that policy.

Never heard that. There's teams like Clemson and GT that don't allow kids to take visits, but I've never heard the recommitting thing. Not saying it isn't true just don't see how you enforce that.

A&M and Baylor are going to rule the state of Texas.

But you knew what I meant. You passed the test, congrats.

Mack brings in boatloads of $$$ for the program. UT might be the richest program in the country

Any competent coach could bring in boatloads of money there

Yea if you take visits while committed they drop you..

FIFY

There is no way that A&M or Baylor will "run" that state. They may go toe-to-toe for a while but there is too much money available and way too much pride among the Long-Horn boosters that will prevent that program falling to the cellar position. Those old boys dwarf Alabama or Georgia or L$U when it comes to deep pockets.
No doubt there have been whispers in Mack Brown's ears and that piece was a mea culpa before the knives come out. Should push come to shove and Brown has to go...they won't ***** around finding a really good coach and you can be sure that there will be a line of candidates vying to get the job.

This is a joke right? ATM might be the flavor of the week, but Texas is the alpha and omega of that states Collegiate sports. They may be down right now, but Baylor and A&M together won't out earn Texas. A&M knew this that's why they went to the SEC.

 

[jruiz]

What I don't get is what happened to texas, they had a good run under Mack brown in the mid 2000's weren't they the last non $ec team to win a title

 

[Winky is Wright]

He's one of the worst coaches going today.

 

[TallyCane]

He offered the last 2 heisman winners as DB's so i would say they missed on a few kids
