Mack is under attack from fans and local sports media guys. Some are saying he doesn't have the passion anymore. Some are saying he should resign. Many think Mack was unprepared for Muschamp to leave and now is questioning his coaching legacy. All I can say is "are y'all out of your minds or are you trying to get your 5 mins of fame kicking Texas when they are down?" Yes, we had a 5-7 season. Yes, I am every bit as dissatisfied as you are. But what if I told you back in 1997. "Over the next 13 years if you hire Mack Brown as head coach you will have: 9 seasons with 10 or more wins, you will go to 4 BCS games and win 3, you will have more players in the NFL than any other school, you will become known as defensive back U, you will have 2 of the top 10 players in the history of college football, and lastly you will win a national championship, but you will have 1 season where you go 5-7...... or....... you can take your chances with some one else." And your choice would be? Mine would be Mack. But you may be one of those fans who grumbled when we hired him instead of Bob Davie. Ask an Irish fan how that worked out. College football is always a wave. You peak with a certain group of players and go back into the valley for a year or two. Texas has just been very lucky to avoid the usual flow of things for a decade. In the long run this year will be good for us. Would you rather have beaten Iowa St and now be focusing on the gallery star furniture .com bowl? Or take your lumps in a year that you weren't a national contender and use it to build the team. I'm not trying to go overboard with excuses, but I am trying to be honest. UT will be fine. We will get some new blood in the coaching staff and in a few years you won't even remember this season. Never forget.... it could be worse, just ask the Dallas Cowboys.
