Needs to start pproducing some wins getting hype for Oklahoma and Baylor ain't good enough.

Really wanna see what they can do vs ND week 1 I don't expect a win but they better play them close last year opener was embarrassing

Look at the roster and you'll get why Texas is having a hard time. We were the youngest team in the conference last season and will have a younger roster this season. The two deep will be dominated by sophs and true freshmen. Mack Brown's last 3 or 4 classes were simply horrid with attrition. Pretty much only the worst players out of the last two classes are what's left. Even the last class he was recruiting when he stepped down is dominated by probably the two lowest rated players in that class. Charlie essentially was starting from scratch. We'll be lucky to get 7 or 8 wins. 2017 should be the year though.

:patrice: what was his salary there vs texas?

He got a raise, but I think he took the short term over the long term. He had great job security at the Ville. Now.....he's gone barring substantial improvement in Austin this year. So in the end, would it have been worth it?

He'd have 2 years left (10 million) on his deal so :yeshrug:

But he'd back back to a defensive coordinator again and probably not a serious HC candidate again for a long time. His head coaching career could arguably be DONE if he gets fired from Texas. He'd be on that coordinator life for LIFE.

Yes because he can get another Louisville level job.

But if he turns Texas around and can consistently win 10/big 12 he'll probably get a crazy raise/bonus/extension

Wort case scenario, he'd be able to at least get a mid major job

He can have success in the ACC it's more defensive minded league he fukked himself over bringing Watson and that weak offensive style into the Big 12 he should've known better nikka thought he was still coaching in the Big East
