Mack Brown explains the breakdown, the fix, and future
Texas head coach Mack Brown spoke on Monday about the breakdown, the fix, and the future.
Reflecting back on the most difficult season of his coaching career, Brown explained, “I started worrying more about the wins than I did the process... If you do, you're in trouble.”
Brown is moving forward without 6 assistant coaches from the 2010 staff. Gone are Greg Davis, Will Muschamp, Mike Tolleson, Bobby Kennedy, Duane Akina, and Mac McWhorter.
The new hires include Manny Diaz, Bryan Harsin, Darrell Wyatt, Jerry Gray, Bo Davis, and Stacy Searels.
Brown said, “The biggest concern is that all the coaching pieces fit. They've all got to work together... and you're not going to know until you've played [games], until you get some pressure. That's when you'll find out about that.”
Obviously, Brown wants to limit distractions during this critical transition. So what about the new Texas TV Network?
“Do you have an assistant coach's show for every assistant coach? Do you have a clinic?...There's obviously a fine line. You give [ESPN] nuggets you feel like will make the network work. But you're not going to have them in the huddle. We're not going to have [HBO's] Hard Knocks,” said Brown.
The Longhorns open the 2011 season with Rice, BYU, and at UCLA.
