My point was that Mack's insecurity/ego is driving him to possibly "promote" Major as the next HC because, if Major is successful, Mack can sit back and take some credit for it. How do you think it looks if someone else comes in, let's say Petersen, and does well. Makes Mack look like more of an incompetent than he does now.
meh. I think people project their Machiavellian bullshite on public figures too much. It's probably that Mack actually likes Major and sees a lot of potential in him. Guy is doing what he thinks is best and while I'm certain his legacy is now on his mind, he's not trying to hamstring the program to make himself look better.

Maybe but I think you'd be surprised at the lengths that Mack has gone to in order to protect his image as "Mack Brown Texas Football." Summoning multiple groups of media to his office to berate them and threaten them with restricting access to the program when even a hint of negativity is reported. Go check out what Brian Jones (former player, CBS Sports) has to say about that - he's been one of the summoned.
Mack does like Major and thinks he'll be a great coach, no doubt - but that may be just part of his pushing Major for the job when he leaves. And I tend to downplay all conspiracy theories.
