Wow, it's pretty obvious the source for this story was Mack himself. I suspect he's putting his $13M exit package at risk with this type of nonsense. This is precisely the type of story Mack was threatening to go public with to try and hold Powers & Patterson hostage.

Interesting story.

Brown's side of the story

If the yahoo story is true bill Powers should've had the balls to tell mack himself he was going to be fired instead he sends newly hired steve Patterson to do his dirty work! That's a bitch move!

The timing of this article is no accident. This was Mack's attempt to screw up the Saban deal one more time as well as get back at those who pushed him out.

Sound like bullshit if the stories of the vibe from Mack and Sally at the banquet are true.

"Powers, according to the source, then suggested Brown announce that he was staying on that night at the Texas football banquet. Brown balked, hesitant to take the spotlight off his team and turn the night into a story about his employment.

At the end of a banquet without any news, the source said that Powers told Brown: "I'm so glad you're staying.""

Screwing up the 'Viper' deal, hardly. This article is a day late and a dollar short. Macks balls have been removed Bag. You know that.

Crazy times on the 40.

You hit on the real issue to me. How are we going to attract recruits to this soap opera?

Not saying otherwise, I only said this was his attempt. I agree with your day late and dollar short take.

beevomav, as soon as Mack Brown is relocated to North Carolina you can expect the soap opera to come to an abrupt end. He's been the straw stirring the soap opera all along. With Patterson in place and a new coach on the way things will settle down soon enough and the vibe will be completely different.

Gotcha. Definitely a late attempt.

I can't imagine Mack would even want to be around anymore. Hopefully he has come to realize, he has worn out his welcome.

Apparently, his petulance knows no bounds and he and Sally have decided to go out in scorched earth fashion. So much for "Leaving with Integrity".

Sad and pathetic.

So Powers told him to announce he was staying on Friday, but he didn't want to make the banquet about him? What a crock of shit. I'm not buying that after all this time Powers would send Patterson in to do the dirty work either. I'm pretty sure Friday afternoon, he knew his days were numbered.
