Mack Brown and the Steady Decline of Texas

  • So....it's the end of yet another season and Texas has had yet another disappointing year. I think most people wonder just how in the hell a program like UT can underachieve as much as they do. Well, Mack Brown has changed coordinators and assistant coaches a ton, signed top classes year after years, and nothing seems to work. The one NC appearance they had since Vince Young was quickly thwarted by an Alabama team in 2009. Since then they have gone 5-7, 8-5, and what looks like 8-5 or 9-4 this year. When you strike out year after year after year on QB's, it's pretty easy to be that bad. Not only have they struck out, but check out the guys they let get out of state or to other programs. They usually get first pick instate but their evaluating has been abysmal. They have let countless first round picks and Heisman finalists leave. If they sign one of these guys every 3 years they are fine. But Mack has completely struck out on QB's. Like, FSU home game against a top 10 team striking out. It's terrible. Check this out:

    2006:

    4* Jevan Snead- Texas
    3* Sherrod Harris- Texas

    5* Matthew Stafford- UGA
    3* Andy Dalton- TCU
    3* Christian Ponder- FSU
    3* Greg McElroy- Bama

    2007:

    3* GJ Kinne- Texas

    5* Ryan Mallett- Michigan/Arkansas
    3* Ryan Tannehill- Texas A&M

    2008:

    No QB taken for UT

    4* Andrew Luck- Stanford
    3* Robert Griffin 3- Baylor

    2009:

    5* Garrett Gilbert- Texas

    2010:

    4* Connor Wood- Texas
    3* Case McCoy- Texas

    5* Cam Newton- AU (JUCO)
    4* James Franklin- Missouri

    2011:

    3* David Ash- Texas

    3* Johnny Manzell- Texas A&M
    2* Chuckie Keeton- Utah State

    The only reason Mack is still here is because of Vince. Vince basically saved Mack's job.

  • One school that has a lower winning percentage than Mack Brown during his tenure is Alabama. I know, with all of their advantages. Go figure.

  • Why doesn't UT just can him? What's the deal with that? It's obvious he's done, just like Lane Kiffin. Why would blue blood schools chose to keep underachieving and losing with these guys. UT and USCw recruit themselves. They will pull top 5 classes regardless of who is HC so why not get a winner in there?

    Again, UT has recruited poor QB's in '13. They thought Swoopes was the second coming of VY and he probably won't even play QB and if he does, good luck on that one. Sucks!!! Saje with that Jerrad Heard kid next year. Again they think they're getting VY, but the kid is overrated. If they wanted a good dual threat they should've gone for that Barrett kid who went to OSU. I guess he wasn't tall enough and he wasn't an exact clone of VY....physically that is.

    Why didn't they go for Cody Thomas? I think that kid will kill it at OU. Oh well. Sucks for UT and USC. Coaching is destroying their programs.

    Ridiculous post. We were under NCAA sanctions and had three bad coaches in a row that led to us having several bad seasons. Not the same as having a mediocre coach for a long time. We also took the steps to correct our problems.

  • As in, has done better with his program than you have with yours. There are always ups and downs in programs. You guys are firing on all cylinders now though. You have to admire FSU for their string of top 5 finishes, despite all of the wide lefts. That said, Texas is ready for a new head coach.

    Talk to me in 9 years. You did manage to improve your record against Texas to 1-9. It took a hurt QB and no back up, but you should take them anyway you can.
