    I'll break the silence. Sports by Brooks just tweeted that he has several sources that are saying that Mack Brown will be forced out sometime this week. I think we all know the dangers is buying into rumors, but Brooks is rarely wrong on stuff like this.

    @SPORTSbyBROOKS SPORTSbyBROOKS
    Multiple sources, including one inside UT football program, told me today Mack Brown will likely be forced out at Texas

    That, after a Topeka, Kansas radio station said earlier this week that Mack would retire after the Baylor game

    [rQUOTEr]According to a source Texas Longhorn head coach Mack Brown will retire this Saturday after the game against Baylor.[/rQUOTEr]

    Now SportsbyBrooks...

    Lots of smoke here. Feels like this is happening one way or another.

    As it turns out, maybe the Longhorns dodged a bullet by not having to turn the program over to Muschamp. One season is not nearly enough to judge a guy, but Florida was just short of horrendous this season.

    Brooks is pretty damn legit.

    Mack is great in recruiting, but they need coach that can coach.

    Who was coaching from 2004-2010?
    69-9

    From 01-10
    101-15

    Don't start this Coach February bull**** again. Watching the first 15 minutes of Money Ball made me think of college football so much. "The team lost its swagger" "They aren't playing with confidence"

    Players are just bad sometimes. They have no good QB and their good RBs this year got hurt. Last year they didn't have a good QB or a good RB. The WRs are also very average.

    The players were.

    Hey Vince, run the ball or throw it.


    Hey D, make a stop.

    Bunch of great kids.

    Vince only played 2 full seasons. He must have been REALLY fantastic to have such an effect on the 4 years after he left.

    What is the logic is giving credit to the players when the team goes well but not giving them the blame when they do bad.

    This seems kind of silly. Everyone knew this was a rebuilding year. If you were going to force him out, last year seems like the time to have done it - it seems hard to believe that you'd shake everything up again just one year after shaking things up last year.

    And yes, Vincent was that good to have an impact 4 years after he left.

    So this means Diaz at the head coach spot? I wouldn't mind that, Brown's a good players coach but I don't think he does much in terms of game-play calling.

    He had a huge impact; he changed the culture of that program. Mack was no longer stoops whipping boy and texas was expected to win NC. Also it probably didn't hurt recruiting. If not for VY, UT might have kicked out mack earlier despite his 10-2 records.

    Hell no dude. They're (ESPN) forcing Brown out to go get Saban or someone crazy. TAMU should get Mack Brown.

    Personally, I think Brown will remain at UT.

    Bro, Mack has the record he has due to amazing talent and weak schedules. Everyone knows Mack is a great recruiter, but his coaching and motivation really needs to be questioned. Look at all the talent he has had, look at all those guys in the NFL - and how many NC's does Mack have. 1, ONE - thanks to a once in a lifetime college football QB who just did whatever he wanted on the field - that's not coaching.

    Mack, as a fraud coach has been exposed without the superstar talent covering his weaknesses.

    yep, yep, yep - VY bought him a few more years. All that talent and only 1 championship to show for it.

    That's the same number of national titles as Pete Carroll, Jim Tressel, Bob Stoops, and Les Miles. Those coaches have their share of NFL players too.

    Every year they were calling for the Les Miles' head. Forget national championship how many conference championships has Brown won? How many has stoops, carroland Tressel won?
