    Mack Brown to step down

    Texas HC Mack Brown will step down after 16 years, according to Chip Brown of Orangebloods.

    Brown cites "high-level sources," and the website is generally the best outlet for Texas football news. The report is not surprising, even though Mack Brown did help turnaround Texas' season. It will obviously be a highly coveted job, but Texas has lost some in state steam to Texas A&M. Vanderbilt's James Franklin might be the best available option, but there is little doubt that Texas will make a strong push for Nick Saban.

    I dont think Saban would leave Alabama with the taste of that heartbreaking defeat lingering.

    Odom for someone as old as you, you would think you know how this goes by now.

    Brown is negotiating his buy out.

    He is signed through 2020, UT owes him nothing if he steps down.

    The negotiated buyout will be in the neighborhood of 5-6 million dollars.

    If Texas fires Brown--- they owe him 4.2 every year through 2020.

    ESPN denied the report. So did UT and Brown. As Sam eludes to, its about money at this point. Can't hardly blame Brown. If they won't pay him off then he's gonna show up hung over like he did this year.

    Can't blame him at all. He's due over $20 million from the University of Texas and the school can't do anything about it. Brown is NOT stepping down free of charge. It's going to cost the school inwards of $10M for him to walk.

    He will get 2.7 Million. That is all he has coming to him. The deal is this. The Board of Regents is scheduled to meet on Thursday. if they fire Texas President Powers, Brown is as good as gone. The Board also may force Powers to kick Brown "upstairs" to some Assistant AD role in order to keep Powers around. There is no doubt that the Regents want a new head coach.

    Why would Brown accept $2.7 million when he is due between $20-25 million???

    Am I misunderstanding the structure of his contact through 2020?

    Basically he signed a series of one year extentions through 2020. They buyout is 2.7 million if he leaves in 2013 or 14. It goes down from there. He was never planning to stay that long to begin with.

    Okay. I'll play along with your crusty Alzheimer's brain.

    You threw up Mack's denial as if it ends any discussion about him stepping down.

    There are no less than 3 reports out there saying Brown is negotiating his exit deal, but you didn't include them.

    It was either an ignorant omission, or an attempt at being a tool.

    You pick.

    Piss off. You really are an annoying old prick.

    Great, thank you for that! I was under the assumption it was a straight contract thru 2020.

    He might as well just leave now and take all he can get

    Brown helped build Texas. They were garbage before he showed up. Guy won a NC. Texas owes brown more than brown owes Texas.

    Sammy would think Mack's contract is as favorable to him as any in college FB... Been there so long and have had an incredibly friendly relationship with higher ups

    Yes it is, and he has done nothing. He has won one CC in the past 8 years, and that is when he had Young at QB. He has lost 4 or more games in each of his past four seasons. Time to retire.

    Texas has to do this now. REad that they have a boat load of 2015 recruits coming next weekend. I would bet they have a coach before next Friday.

    TCU beat writer Stefan Stevenson cites a source "close to Texas executive council of regents" that says Alabama's Nick Saban will be Texas' next head coach.

    The buzz has been there for some time, and this only adds to it. Saban is notorious for hoping from job to job, so it is time to take the rumors seriously. Another report, from NFL.com's Gil Brandt, stated Alabama and Saban were in contract talks to reach the $7 million level.
