Done deal. They let him step down with dignity. Once they told him the name of his replacement, he knew even his most loyal defenders would abandon him.

Just my two cents: If it's a news story on Texas, and there's a @ChipBrownOB byline on it ... Take it to the bank.

Texas coach Mack Brown reaffirms job status
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...oach-mack-brown-reaffirms-job-status/3997601/
Mack Brown briefly addressed his status as the head coach at Texas while speaking the media during the Alamo Bowl news conference on Thursday.
Brown denied a report Tuesday that he is stepping down as the Longhorns' coach and reaffirmed that stance on Thursday.
"My situation has not changed," Brown said. "I've got the best president in the country in Bill Powers. What we did lose was an iconic athletic director (DeLoss Dodds). We've hired what I think is a great athletic director in Steve Patterson. Any time we have AD changes, it changes the game.
"I need to sit down with him and Bill in the near future to figure out where the program's going, all get on the same page and move forward."

The Regents and the boosters want Saban.
The President wants to keep Mack.
Mack wants to stay.
My guess is that the boosters tell the President that either he goes, or Mack goes peacefully. And since he and Mack are buddies, he'll convince Mack to step down tomorrow (after the football banquet).
The only question in my mind is whether Saban coaches Bama in their Bowl game before he bolts. I doubt it, since he could be recruiting for his new gig. Of course, that may be what he is doing now.

Texas coach Mack Brown steps down
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/texas-coach-mack-brown-resigns-004625735--ncaaf.html
Mack Brown united and revived a divided and dormant Texas football program and coached the Longhorns to their first undisputed national title in 36 years.
Now after four seasons with at least four losses, Brown is stepping down to make way for the next coach to try to push the Longhorns back into the nation's elite.
Texas announced Saturday night that Brown, who won the 2005 national championship, is retiring after 16 seasons, with his final game to be the Dec. 30 Alamo Bowl against Oregon.

Wow. Just wow...
Between this and the outburst of a prominent booster, I wonder if he'll get the same treatment that Ty Willingham got at ND...

What is the source of that tee shirt. Is it a one off or mass production and who is the author?

It was an Etsy shop, not UT. He'll have to get used to it down there, though.
