“I had to show Vince a tape of himself to get him to play like the guy we recruited.

Mack Brown translation: “Vince wouldn’t be Vince if it weren’t for me”.

Vince Young translation: “Get out of the way, You’re stepping on my cape”.

Mack used to say he was asking the team to “play to a standard”. I think we played to a high standard (win or lose) in the following games (or portions thereof):

Second half of TCU
Rice
Oklahoma
Iowa St
Fourth quarter of Nebraska
Fourth quarter of OSU
Last 9 or so minutes of TAMU

It’s interesting that he does not say that anymore. Instead, if we win ugly, give up ~500 yards, etc. he criticizes the fans and says we’re never happy with a win.

“3) Coach Royal’s record over his first 10 seasons at Texas was 82-23-3 (77.30%). Coach Brown’s is 102-24-0 (80.95%).”

And DKR had won the SWC 4 times in that stretch.

Come back with some more unimportant stats and numbers once Mack has won a CC more than once in 20 years as a HC.

Without claiming any detailed knowledge of the UT situation, it does sound as if your program is inching down the ‘Bobby Bowden’ path. That is NOT a path you want to be on.

Also, I take exception to the comment lumping Carr and Meyer in the same class of ‘establishment’ coaches as opposed to the young vital whipper-snappers from the mid-majors. Carr is the definition of establishment, but Meyer’s a whipper-snapper who’s made good. (Can you imagine Carr introducing something like the spread-option to a major conference? The mind boggles.)

That position is called prison rape.

What about Foster vs. Kelly one on one? What position is that?

Asking your defensive end to tackle Michael Goodson in the open field one on one with no back up is not having your players ‘lined up and in position to make plays.’

Asking Scott Derry to defend a wheel route to Goodson is not having your players ‘lined up and in position to make plays.’

Repeatedly running your MLB into the LOS is not having your players ‘lined up and in position to make plays.’
