    Chip reported it and it will happen. They denied Deloss Dodd was retiring after Chip reported it and then he stepped down just as reported.

    Mack is going to step down, he will announce by the Longhorn dinner Friday.

    I hope they don't get Saban though. I want a younger coach who can create a legacy and become part of Texas football history and culture, not a mercenary -- albeit a very very effective mercenary.

    Look at where UT was before he got there. Getting raped 66-0 by UCLA at home.

    16 years at the school and he had a total of 2 seasons with less than 9 wins. Not a UT fan, but respect where respect is deserved.

    Chip is typically right about all things UT. He has oppinions on A&M but he does not cover A&M.

    I like Chip. I listen to him online sometimes, and I follow him on Twitter. I have no idea what's really happening here.

    Earlier today, a report surfaced that Mack Brown had agreed to step down as head football coach at the University of Texas and move into a administrative role at the University.

    When reached by text moments ago, Brown refuted the story to Horns247.

    "I haven't seen (the) article," Brown wrote.

    "I'm in Florida recruiting. If I had decided to step down I sure wouldn't be killing myself down here. I have not decided to step down."

    Brown is expected to be in Florida for the next two days. He is expected to visit running back Dalvin Cook in Miami today and linebacker Andrew Beck in Tampa tomorrow.

    Additionally, sources tell Horns247 that Texas football staff has not been made aware of any such decision.

    If he's seriously in Florida on a recruiting trip, I think it's doubtful he's on the verge of stepping down.

    The part bolded had a tweet from Jeff Platt of ESPN behind it. The tweet just didn't show up when I copied it to here.

    Houston Chronicle corrected their headline to "UT denies reports." Yahoo! continues to report that Mack is stepping down.

    Orangebloods is owned by/operated by/oraffiliated with Rivals which is owned by/operated by/or affiliated with yahoo.

    I don't know if that matters or not...

    Even still, Yahoo! is risking their reputation (if they have one) by keeping this story up.

    Max, do you not think Mack is stepping down/will be fired? Seems like this outcome is inevitable.

    I think he means because they were both really good college QB's.
