I think this years game is being played in the 5th circle of hell.
I am..I feel it...deep down..in muh plums
Those were Mack Brown coached teams. Just sayin', lol. I know that'll trigger you. Facts though. I like the direction that Sark has the team ascending towards, but we're not near the Mack Brown type of teams.
Yes Mack did great, until he forgot what a QB looked like, and ran the program into the ground, which we are still suffering for to this day. Thanks Mack.
I think it was seven 10+ win seasons in a row. What we would give to have that back. We can only hope that Sark would be as good as Mack was to Texas! 🤘
I think we did fine with recruiting QBs, they just never progressed. When Bama took out Colt, Mack decided to change our play style from spread to a more traditional overpowering run game that Bama ran. The problem was that all our recruits we're sized for and experienced in running spread offenses like most Texas highschool kids.
A good handful of our "failed" QBs ended up doing pretty well after they transferred. Mack definitely gambled and lost on the changes. I still have the utmost respect and gratitude for his time here though.
Disagree strongly on the QBs. He completely ignored three Heisman winners, RG3, Manziel, Winston, because he was happy with the likes of Case McCoy and David Ash.
Say what you want about Manziel, he was a game changer, Mack wanted him to play DB. Same with RG3. and don’t give me any of that noise about Mack didn’t want Johnny because of his attitude, because Mack wanted him at Texas, just to play defense. Btw Manziel bled burnt orange. Maybe he doesn’t turn out to be such an asshat if he wasn’t forced into playing QB at aggy.
Jameis Winston’s high school coach called Mack’s office practically begging him to look at his QB, because Winston loved Texas. Mack couldn’t be bothered.
Bijan jumps back in the Heisman race...200 all purpose yards..3 tds ..mark it down

I get it. But you're also throwing the baby out with the bath water. Mack put Texas back on the map in the CFB world. No other coach has done that since Royal. Give the man his due.
Would love to, but taking Texas back off the map just cancels that out in my book. What he did to Texas in his last few years was inexcusable.
To be fair, after his teams looked so soft getting embarrassed by OU in the early 2000s, I never did like him. I was calling for Spurrier back then. After the 2005 NC win, in the middle of running around chest bumping everybody in that north Georgia sports bar, I sat down with the cold realization....”oh f*** we’re stuck with him now”. 😂
I'm not trying to do that. However, I think that the majority of us would take the same track record as Mack from Sark for another natty. I know that I would.
Garrett Gilbert was a 5 star and rated higher than all those guys you named. He just didn’t work out. He hit on a lot more QBs than he missed on.
Colt McCoy was purely stroke of luck. He wasn’t recruited to be Vince’s replacement. Or was Mack just a genius?
RG3 was an athlete not a QB. Worked out good for Baylor though. But I don’t think anyone, perhaps other than Art, that he was going to be a heisman level talent.
Manziel was a douchbag. Once a douche always a douche. Mack didn’t like him. C’mon would you have loved a heisman and deal with all his drama, money signs, et. al.? Once Manziel lost all of his team talent after his heisman year he was just another QB throwing Hail Marys to Evans. We now know how the rest of his story turned out.
Winston may be the one guy Mack really missed on but he also falls into the same category as Manziel as far as being a person of character. Looks like he may have finally grown up with the “Saints”? How fitting.
Ashe was going to be a really solid QB. He had a cannon for an arm but his propensity for concussions derailed his progress.
GG could have been good but we booed him out of the stadium against BYU. Outside of the Alabama game the kid never had a chance.
Case McCoy beat the Aggies during our last stand. I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Case with his last second QB tuck and run to set up the game winning FG. Greatness. Once again, Mack was a genius!

It's close on how this is figured. Hits: Simms/Vince/Colt. MIsses: Gilbert/Case/Ash/Swoopes. Applewhite is obviously a hit, but I think he was recruited by Mackovic. If figured on years of success vs bad years, then yes, Mack hit on more than he missed.
Can't get them all but to say he didn't recruit top notch QBs out of HS is blatantly ignoring positives & focusing on the misses, he had both.
Nobody wants to change your opinion of the guy but we all should recognize facts about his time here.
I wouldn’t really consider Ash a miss because of how he had to retire. But still that’s a pretty good success rate. Even Gilbert went to SMU and ended up getting drafted. He was jut not a good fit in our offensive system.
I just saw Sark on LHN pre-game and he confirmed it is Card.
