Thank God Diaco is on board and we don't have to worry about this. The chain reaction that is about to happen would be very disturbing if UConn didn't have a head coach.

Paging Coach Briles....

Don't know if it's Briles but they definitely have someone lined up.

Mack heard there was a possible opening defensive backs or OL/ in Storrs. Been eyeing it since GDL left.

Class act///great coach

Greg Robinson would be a great choice. A proven DC who knows Texas politics.

paging Jim Harbaugh.....you're making $5mm and Texas can pay $7mm to $10mm per year.

Texas AD Steve Patterson: "I know this decision weighed heavily on him, and today he told us he’s ready to move forward.”

Longhorn Network tweet: Mack Brown has informed the team and recruits of his resignation He will coach the bowl game.

What about David Shaw? I know he is at his alma mater, and I know he doesn't really have ties to Texas, but they'd be crazy not to at least kick the tires.

He's done an incredible job at Stanford, imagine what he could do with Texas' resources.

I hope you are kidding. Did you see what he did up in Syracuse?

He was and is a terrific DC. Not much of a head coach though.

You're a jerk.

Onlyvold people with rotary phones use phone books. Jerk.

Imagine 8-4 and he's pressured to leave. If we go 8-4, the coach gets a raise and an extension!

There are probably a few hundred coaches that could have done better at Texas than Mack Brown did. 8 wins should be the absolute baseline for a program with those kind of resources.

Please shut up. As a diehard 49ers fan, I will cry.

Glad I turned off my computer or we could have gone back and fourth all night with movies lines.

I don't have a rotary phone or a cell phone (at the moment) but I use the phone book, mostly because the "the Phone Book Fairy" leaves one in my driveway at least once a week.

I hate posts like this. "A few hundred coaches," huh? You don't seem to have much of a sense of the history of Longhorns football. Do you remember the 63 point loss to UCLA that closed out the Mackovic era?

And, incidentally, given that he just "resigned," it seems like 8 wins is the baseline these days.
