First half silver linings

Mack Brown can't fix this program quickly. Those that think he was such a great recruiter are ignoring the fact he was recruiting kids to play at Texas...not SMU

vielsiehorsepower is obviously one of Big12Mustang's other personalities. When you join the board, post 20 times in 2 days and have over the top opinions, it's pretty obvious.

What over the top opinion did I have? I made a pretty tongue in cheek comment about preferring mason to brown, but I don't think either would be a good hire. I think brown would improve things, yes, but I don't think he's the guy.

Well to be fair, it can't get worse than right now. The question is do you want a quick fix with brown or some one who can actually take this program somewhere? I see this as similar to everyone being satisfied with the toilet bowl every year because of 25 years of terrible football before.

And I was referencing underachieving relative to the rankings of his recruiting classes. I didn't look them up, so I may be incorrect but that was my impression, and what I believed to be the shared impression of ut football

Yet you would prefer Mason, who's career is a string of toilet bowl programs? Mack is not my first choice but come on, Mason is not a better option

This can't be that hard of a sell...great academics, great campus,great facilities,and 4 years to start with tons of chances to get noticed on tv.

and NO CHANCE to compete for a national championship...makes it hard to recruit at the highest level

It was a sarcastic response. At this point I have not seen enough of masons turn around ability to campaign for his promotion. That being said, I'm not counting on it. I just REALLY don't want Brown

That's not every good recruit's top priority. A much better team can be built going after guys who don't want to wait until they are rs juniors and seniors to get their first snaps at top programs. Obviously I am not of the opinion that an entire roster can be made up like this, but good recruits CAN be convinced to come here
