[Mean_Green09]

Looks like our first opponent will have a new coach next year. Mack Brown is stepping down as UT's coach.

Kinda' sad how it seems he got treated toward the end.

Mack has a nice nest egg and needs to go deep sea fishin' now.

GMG!

[Green Mean]

Pretty shocked.

Promote Riley to interim?

[Mean_Green09]

I think they will let him coach the bowl game anything else looks like they fired him which is probably what went down behind the scenes. They just want to let him leave in on respectable terms.

Chip Brown's Twitter.

Ouch. Much rather would have faced Mac Brown, which Booger and Co gave a hell of a game to, than Nick Saban.

[H-towngreen]

Not at all surprised, it was time. UT had become stagnant. I think it's Saban, too much smoke for it not to be in the works.

I'm not sure if Lucifer has enough minions on the UT Board of Regents to snag Saban.

Just WAG on my part but I am sure MB had enough support with the big donors to not be forced out UNLESS Saban agreed to come.

Exactly. If they get someone like Malzahn then we will have no chance. I think they get him IMO. 5 million dollars, with that recruiting base and that weak conference, no disrespect to OU, OSU, and Baylor, it's as good a job as you could ask for.

The two may be at odds anyways. I hear that Saban is suing Lucifer in the wake of the Auburn loss for breech of contract.

[H-towngreen]

It's either going to be Saban or Malzahn.

[Mean_Green09]

If they magically find a QB then it might be a difficult game for us, but until that point we got a chance. Its a long ways away. There will be a whole offseason to worry about that.

[Christopher Walker]

The Twittersphere tells me now that Mack Brown had a huge falling out with their AD last night in NYC. Major Applewhite will coach their bowl game.

[Green Mean]

It's either going to be Saban or Malzahn.

I would include David Shaw to that list as well.

Tyrone Swoopes?

I wouldn't say we had no chance... I wouldn't like our chances, but we would have a chance. UT is just hiring another mortal man to coach the team.

Now if they were hiring the illegitimate love child of Saban and Malzhan AND buying him an apocalypse coat, then I would say we had no chance.
