After the Ole Miss loss, Mack called former All American Longhorn Rod Babers into his office and told him that he was to speak nothing but the company line in his role as UT radio guy or he would be fired. When Babers pushed back and told him that his job was to call things as he sees them, he was given an ultimatum by Mack.

When Babers told Mack that he was a Lifetime Longhorn and wanted the program to succeed, but wouldn't lie to other Longhorns if something was going poorly and it needed to be discussed. Babers told Mack that he bleeds orange, but he's not anyone's hired stooge.

Mack then fired Babers on the spot and told him he would not be returning next year in his role as sideline guy and would not be allowed back into the inner circle when he turns things around. Babers then told Mack that the mere fact that he had time in his day to have the meeting between the two of them when his team had been whipped the previous two weeks was proof that his focus was twisted and that he didn't have what it takes to turn it around. He was then told to leave Mack's office.

If true, then I just found one redeeming trait in Babers.

Things are not going to get turned around enough to save mack's job. It must be like hitler's bunker down there in bellmont these days.

Good for Mack. Someone not towing the company line scares him to death and UT can't have that. I'm all for Mack's house cleaning. He's just righting that mighty ship. I would advise all Ags on this board to learn from the master and support his endeavor to rebuild the Horns!

OP,

Give us a link or this is just bullcrap conjecture.

Babers' Twitter doesn't show anything about this.

Mack = GCOAT

And to think some of the dumb sips want to run him off. That's a winner right there folks.

Love Mack. As much as he's done for the university, he deserves as much time as he wants to turn things around.

That's because it's a post on OB. Half of them are believing it, half are calling BS.

All those damn murmurers, ankle biters, and gossipers are bad for the program.

Look for Mack to trapdoor chip and his toupee along with fat ketch the biscuit eater in the next few weeks.

Even if fabricated, it is delicious to see them eat each other alive on the interweb. If not fabricated, then WOW, pass around the orange Kool-Aid Jim Jones style.

Well fwiw, he called Brian Jones to his office last year when they were struggling and Jones was critical, so I can believe this.

Mack's largest problem is his self esteem. If anyone says anything negative it puts him into a nosedive because of the reflection it has on him. He cant stand constructive criticism and is not teachable. If you cant learn, you cant progress. Just a law of nature of which that clown has never been able to understand.

Circling the drain is the best way to describe those idiots. The lot of em.

bezerkly...do you really think everyone is making up ALL of the stories that have surfaced about Mack Brown being insecure?

Remember this from last year?

quote:

Davis and Pollack sitting in a production truck before TCU game, in walks Mack.

Mack, obviously angry, proceeds to admonish the pair for negative comments they've made on College Gameday throughout the year citing specific examples.

"You can't talk that way about Texas or my program" was uttered. The two were shocked because no coach had done that before.


Or Mack's reaction to Johnny committing to A&M? Or Mack approaching Reggie McNeal's father at the Texas relays? Or Mack wanting the BDF to outlaw opposing teams doing the horns down?

During Reggie's senior year in high school, his dad was in Austin to watch Reggie compete at the Texas Relays. Mack approached him and told him that his son needed to go out of state.

So he fired the guy and to top it off told him he wouldn't be back next year and he included in his inner circle when he turns things around?
Sounds like shuttleworth just lost his cigar.

Mack Brown doesn't like it that opponents get to tweak Texas's traditional hand salute by displaying the Hook 'Em Horns sign upside-down. Early in the TCU-Texas broadcast Thursday night, ESPN's Jesse Palmer showed off what the sign looks like when turned into a taunt. Two quarters later, he apologized and offered a conciliatory, "Hook 'Em."

EA Sports custom builds Mack versions of NCAA Football that only have JV mode.

He dominates it. Every year.

If mack put half the energy he puts into "we didn't offer" and other PR bull**** into actually coaching he would win 11 every year.
