alonghorn72 Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 Mike Tomlin would be a homerun IMO. Saban, Tomlin, and Chucky are my top three, in that order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Scholes Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Tough Q4 for Pitt but don't know if I'd call that an embarrassment. You never know with the service academies. But yeah, the timing was ironical but they love the guy. Of all the coaches who have moved on to bigger, better these guys believe he is the real deal.

Lord Vader Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Christ went to the wrong place. Pitt just isn't ever going to be the kind of school where physical football rules the roost. Those programs (Temple, Pitt, BC, etc) are all finesse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanging Brain Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I have had a hard time wrapping my head around an NFL head coach leaving what has always been considered the pinnacle of coaching to coach in college. Looking at this list of salaries, it would be a 2-4.5 million dollar raise, for the names being mentioned, depending on the 8-10 mil price tag tossed around. That makes it a little easier to believe.

TexasFirst1 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 You're assuming that Harsin and Diaz were his first calls out of the box. Reportedly, especially w/DC, Mack had to go down the list. Mack passed on Jerry Gray as D/C and that was the mistake that will cost Mack his job in the end.

Black Scholes Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Mack passed on Jerry Gray as D/C and that was the mistake that will cost Mack his job in the end. Gray might have left for the NFL regardless but Mack really dicked him around with the offer and terms. Pretty clear he didn't want him. I would hope by now everyone realizes Mack saw Jerry as a threat and that's what motivated him. Not the chance to bring in not only a talented defensive coach but one with some new ideas and one from the league that kids would absolutely find pretty compelling as a recruiting tool. Mack's biggest fear today is not really losing his job as much as someone like Saban comes in and starts to routinely run the table, proving what underperformers we've been to a large degree. That drives him nuts. One of the reasons I think he wants DKR's record is so he has something permanent to hold on to. My opinion of course.

lakeman74 Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hopefully everyone out there is aware of Mack Brown's egotistical, selfish attitude. That is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
statsman Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Oh, I think Mack would be OK if his replacement won a lot of games and titles...as long as Mack was involved in picking the guy, and that guy spent a lot of time thanking Mack for building the program, and so on. Saban isn't that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mack could have matched Tennessee's offer with Jerry as the D/C and Jerry clearly wanted to be back at UT. You are exactly right that Mack feared Jerry as a threat so UT fans get stuck with several more years of mediocrity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoekem Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Mack's ego is guilty for putting us in the position we are currently in...he is as narcissistic as they come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoekem Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 Not sure where the Tomlin possible candidate has come from, but common sense would tell you he would have zero interest. His last collegiate coaching job was with University of Cincinnati as DB coach, but quickly jumped to join the Tampa Bay staff in 2001. I don't think a HC in the NFL who has reached the mountain top in the NFL and has had no head coaching experience at the collegiate level (or interest in that position) should be considered a realistic candidate. I don't get all the love for Tomlin, usually the guys that criticize Gruden...want Tomlin. Mystification at it's finest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
