getting run off over an 8 - 5 then 9 -4 followed by a 8 -4 season trend ???
11 wins in 15 bowl games
High expectations to say the least
Hope we treat Miles better if he has such "difficulties" several years down the road

I think it is perception
Aka just today Mack saying he is killing himself recruiting.

You left out the 5-7 season in 2010. In his last 4 years, UT is 30-20, 8-15 against ranked teams. That's just not going to cut it.

Don't forget 5-7 before 8-5, 9-4, 8-4.. His conf record is .500 the last 4 yrs

Mack was treated fine on the 40 acres. VY and Colt McCoy bought him more longevity than his coaching skills warranted.
The fact that of the 11 Texas bred QB's that started an NFL game this year, Including Drew Brees, Andrew Luck, Matthew Stafford, Andy Dalton and RG3 NONE wore burnt orange, and most were never recruited. Adding insult to injury, the two most electric college QB's and recent Heisman Trophy recipients (post date this until Saturday evening if you must) were never recruited as a QB by Mack Brown.
In this business you adapt or you die. Lets hope CLM learns from the cautionary tale of Mack Brown.

Texas has all the resources in the world and should not struggle for that long of a period. A down year here and there is acceptable, but not 4 years in a row. LSU doesn't have the same resources, but Miles is in the same boat. 4 years of 4+ losses would likely lead to his early retirement as well.
That is the state of big time college football these days.

I don't believe Mack brown should be run out of town like he is. He has been one of the top coaches in the game since coming in. But all of a sudden after a few bad seasons everybody jumps ship. I don't like it. I understand this is a business which can be very cut throat. I just don't think its right

If Mack is indeed out at Texas, there is one probably one statistic that people will point to more than any other....only 2 outright conference championships in 16 years of coaching in Austin. He did make it to the BCSCG in both of those seasons and won it all in 2005.

Mack Brown a better winning percentage than the great Darrell K. Royal.

Coaches should never be evaluated on one year alone, but in 4 year increments. That allows for a full cycle of recruiting. UT has lost 20 games in the last 4 years an average of 5 a season. This is coming off playing for a NC game 5 years ago. Does that look like Brown has UT going in the right direction?
ETA: Many on this board think Miles should be fired but he has only lost 9 games in the last 4 years. That would be 11 fewer than Brown.

they play 1-2 good teams a year
they have won 1 national championship in 16 years with arguably the best talent in the country.

there is much, much, much more to this Mack Brown situation than those numbers (record defeats to their arch rival OU by record arse whipping numbers).
Can you imagine getting beat down 63-14 by Bama or Auburn or Florida? Hell no.
And I love Les Miles. but I would be super pissed with him if he head Mack's last 5 years or so.

Mack's resume doesn't even compare to Bobby Bowden's yet Florida St administration realized he was running the program into the ground and had to go after a similar stretch to what Texas is having now. He would still probably be coaching today if they waited for him to retire. Unfortunately most highly successful coaches don't know when to quit

You realize he had a 5-7 season thrown in there too, right? In the last 4 years, UT is also 18-17 in the last 4 seasons in the Big 12. That is the definition of mediocre. Don't add in their horrid OOC wins to bolster his record into more than it is.
In 9 years, Les has only had a non-winning record in conference once (2008). In 2 of the last 4, Mack Brown has had 2 conference losing records.
