    This is definitely Mack's last year then, no matter what happens the rest of the season. Dodds was the last friend Mack had left.

    I thought he'd kind of sorta already announced he was stepping down. Was I dreaming?

    No way, Joe. Step 3: Hire new AD based on who he is bringing with him to coach football. Step 4 is letting him make the hire.

    I feel like there needs to be an almost FRENCH REVOLUTION where WE take back OUR University from Bellmont after DeLoss is gone....The Link

    What if they bump Mack up to AD, so that he can exit football coaching gracefully?

    I guess this is what the meeting that DeLoss said didn't happen the other day was about.

    Pogo,

    #1 - Deloss is not "Mack's friend" in the sense you indicated. Deloss is "Deloss' friend", the ultimate politician, and a survivor. Don't misunderstand, it took me a long time and a lot of one on one conversations to understand him. I do like him and appreciate how he made us "the brand".

    No way Mack Brown becomes AD. If that happens, we are ****** for life. If Deloss retires, it has to be Oliver Luck, maybe T Jones as an interim.

    Lastly, the AD gets hired first and then the coach. I can only hope and pray that this rumor is ********.

    By "friend" I was trying to imply that Dodds is the last one left that may not want to can Mack.
    Which rumor do hope is ********? If you mean Mack to AD, it's not rumor, just posters positing. If you mean Dodds retiring, why do you feel that way?

    104.9 FM Austin is reporting it as more than rumor, at 4:30 just now.

    I want Oliver Luck.
    From Cleveland, Ohio, undergraduate from West Virgini, law degree from UT. Rhoades Scholar finalist. Played with the Oilers, probably what put him in Houston area for a while.
    Twice first-team Academic All-American.

    First off, the "friend" comment is because Deloss is a politician and is out for Deloss. That is not a negative comment about him. I like him and hope he stays for through this storm. I repeat, he has never hired a football coach nor has he fired a football coach. He may have been the messenger, but not calling the shots.

    I don't think that Mack is qualified to be AD of the largest athletic program in America.

    That said, NO ONE THAT HAS EVER MET, KNOWS, OR HAS EVER TALKED TO CHUCKIE NEIN-***!

    Like most on here, I think we need changes.

    However, I wonder why people would say that Mack Brown is not qualified to be an AD? The CEO mentality that is not right (right now, anyway) for our football program seems to be the very trait that would be good as an AD.

    He's been dealing directly with our donors, our facilities, our administration, NCAA rules, etc. What could be a better prep for that job, other than being an AD already at Ohio State or something?

    Not saying I know, just wondering why that opinion was expressed.

    Well, many of his hires have been good. As for the poorer choices, I think that because of the particular "space" that Mack wants to occupy in the coaching field--the hoovering above CEO thing--only a certain type of assistant can fit between the spaces he takes up. Maybe a bad comparison, but similar to how Jerry Jones, by his strong participation alters the landscape for which coaches will agree to be under him.

    My best guess is that Mack Brown could make much harder choices for a program he wasn't trying to run at the same time. (Probably Jerry Jones hires better people to go run his oil interests than he does draft football players.)

    I certainly admit, I don't know.
