Confusing nfl.com article says Brown to step down, but maybe not

I figured with all the speculation, why not let NFL.com in on it a little.

(No this didn't need its own thread, per se, but at least this is a reputable source.)

Texas sources are refuting an OrangeBloods.com report that said Mack Brown will step down after 16 seasons as the Longhorns' head coach, while Brown told 24/7 Sports that he is in Florida on a recruiting trip.

"If I had decided to step down I sure wouldn't be killing myself down here. I have not decided to step down," Brown said.

Those denials follow in line with those from this year when OrangeBloods.com reported that Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds would retire. After a flurry of denials from Dodds and Texas, Dodds did step down and was eventually replaced by Steve Patterson of Arizona State.
