Mack Brown recruits lots of talent but then cannot get outcomes (unless you count the number of felony convictions "earned" by his football players).

Mack Brown is the best head coach of the Texas Longhorns football team and the Big 12 conference

With all the talented players that come out of Texas you would think he'd win the national championship every year. It took a team stacked with super-experienced talent to win the title. Imagine what Bob Stoops could do with all that talent. Anyway, I'm glad Mack is Texas' coach and not OU's.

What does this guy have to do to earn more respect? His team won the national championship. His recruiting is excellent. His team is consistently up there in the national rankings. Is there anyone more consistent since he has been at UT? Not charismatic, and maybe not a man's man, but he seems to get the job done doesn't he?

Mack Brown is and has been a good coach and great will be deserved in a few more years at the rate he has been going. He's gotten labled negatively for not winning "the big one". Well, of his 5 losses to OU, people overlook the fact that the Sooners lost just 7 games in those seasons. He is 5-1 vs CU, 4-1 vs Neb, 7-1 vs A&M and a combined 3-0 vs USC, Mich & Ohio St. His teams have appeared in the final AP Polls 8 straight years,been to bowls each year and has produced 83 wins. I'd say it's time to give Ole' Mack his due.

Brown hasn't been able to win the big game at Texas until this year, but his teams have always been good. He was also a good coach previously at UNC, who have done nothing since he left. Brown becomes a great coach if he is able to help the Longhorns pull off the Rose Bowl win against USC.

Mack Brown is like the Buffalo Bills, The Dallas Mavericks, Houston Astros.....They win a lot of games during the regular season, but dont win the big games. Does this mean he's a bad coach? Depends on what you expect from your coach. Mack has built winners and can maintain a team at a certain level, but I think that's all he can do. He consistently loses the games that matter (vs OU, vs Colorado in the Big XII title game, etc...). Thing is, you get rid of him and there's no guraentee his successor will do better. Mack can recruit and will get a requisite number of wins. He'll send Longhorns to the pros and go to a Bowl. He's a Good coach, but not a Great one. Texas wants a coach who will do great things. Tough call on what to do with Mack. Mack Brown - Good coach, OK coack for Texas.

great recruiter, but that's not the question. he's a terrible field coach. he beats teams that his talent can beat, but loses when he actually has to come up with an effective game plan

Texas almost lost to Arkansas who isn't even ranked. How well are they going to do against big 12 teams like Colorado, kansas, and Red River Shootout rival Oklahoma.

I gave him one star b/c I couldn't vote a half star. The talent he puts together could win by itself. They are bigger and faster than everyone else. Yet he can't get them to win the big game.

Anyone who thinks Mack is a good recruiter is an idiot?? Ok.. throw just about every football analyst into the idiot barrel. Texas produces tons of NFL talent, and is in the top 5 in THE NATION recruiting every year (notice I'm comparing their classes to a wider base than just A&M's classes). There is no reason why he should not be able to stay within at least 40 or 50 points of OK. Whoever takes MB's place in about 2 years is going to have a hell of a ball of clay to work with.

As a lifelong Texas fan, I don't think I can stand to watch Mack pussyfoot around any more. His teams play with virtually no emotion, even against OU. Give me a coach who can make his players want to eat glass over a coach who talks like a politician and seems totally unable to motivate his players to get the best out of them. Winning the award as top recruiting class every year is getting old while watching OU embarrass us year after year. The way he screwed Major Applewhite out of the QB job he deserved his senior year in order to get Chris Simms on the field a year earlier is unforgiveable.

Has got alot of talent and is out coached in almost every big game-- Oklahoma all the time and Colorado in the big 12 championship. He needs to step down if he doesn't beat Okla. this year especially after that stomping at the hands of Arkansas.

I'd rate him a 6 if we were just rating on recruiting. He wins the recruiting championship every year but fails to win anything else. Mack is probably the only person in America to get less production from his talent than Joe Paterno.

How many #1 classes is he going to bring down to JV level before people realize he's all talk.

If we're talking about a football COACH -- Mack Brown is two stars, three at best. He has the best talent in the nation (or second best) and can't even go to a BCS game with it. He can recruit.. but he can't COACH. He won't beat Oklahoma, much less win a national championship..

His 10 year record speaks for itself. Texas has not had this much success since 1983 and North Carolino may never experience the success that it had under Mack Brown again. For the 2nd year in a row Texas will finish in the top 10 and the next 3-4 years look very bright. The monkey will come off of his back soon and he will get the respect that he has earned.

His recruiting ability is evident--this man knows how to bring the nation's best athletes to the University of Texas. However, to date, he has shown a surprising inability to win that "big game" (in this case, Oklahoma). I'll be pulling for you--don't let us down!
