Mack reminds me of Cooper in his final year - appearing nervous, out of touch, old, and inept.

That was the worst display of tackling I have ever seen. You don't fix giving up 550 yards rushing by changing DC's. That team has no heart. Texas needs a house cleaning from top to bottom.

What happened to the once-dominant Texas athletic program? - Sports Illustrated

AUSTIN -- In January 2010, the Texas football team played Alabama in the BCS title game. The Longhorns' men's basketball team began the '09-10 season 17-0 and spent two weeks ranked No. 1. In the spring of '10, the baseball program earned a No. 2 national seed in the NCAA tournament.

Less than four years later, all of those programs have taken precipitous dives from their perches among the national elite. Earlier this fall, BYU and Ole Miss embarrassed Mack Brown's football team, showcasing the failures of the embattled coach's recent program overhauls. The men's basketball team missed the NCAA tournament last March for the first time in 14 seasons, and a flurry of defections have left it staring at the possibility of another lost season. The baseball team didn't reach the NCAA tournament two years ago and failed to qualify for the Big 12 tournament last year.

The recent announcement that longtime athletic director DeLoss Dodds would retire makes it clear that Texas' athletic department is changing. University president William Powers Jr. said in a phone interview on Monday that he expects a new AD will be in place before the end of the football season. That person will soon face decisions regarding the three most prominent remaining members of the athletic department: Brown, basketball coach Rick Barnes and baseball coach Augie Garrido.

The really scary part of that article was the shit with Perry and BoT. They really are trying to turn UT into a diploma mill, and if they force out Powers, they'll probably get their way. I couldn't imagine having a board of trustees with a sizable portion not only completely disloyal to the university but actually operating against its best interests.

Oh wait, I can: Shades of Jim Rhodes packing our BoT with fucking car dealers in the 1970s.
