If Mack is retained, how bad will it get in Texas after Oregon wins by 30?

I think its going to be bad no matter what, but I think it will pale in comparison to if Saban loses 3+ next year, especially if its to Auburn.

The bevo is so mad at UT for not fireing Mac right now I don't see how it could get any worse. I expect a brick through the window any day now.

I'm definitely in the camp that believes what actually happened lies in between the two narratives. Bama folks say Saban's head was never turned by Texas, even for a second, while lots of Texas folks believe it was in the bag until Mack flipped the frick out when the plan and the timeline was leaked. For the portrayal of a doddering old fool that Mack seems to have earned over the years, he gets mad respect from me if he singlehandedly derailed this whole thing by digging in and taking the fight public when he got word that Saban was the legit target.

I'll fully admit that I bit, given the narrative that was being painted. Sometimes the "evidence" being presented can be oddly specific. I think that Bama folks are 100% full of shite if they can't admit that Saban was seriously considering the offer. If you subscribe to the Jimmy Sexton -Evil Genius angle, that it was all just to get money- that's just naive. If Saban wanted more money, all he had to do was ask for it. If money didn't figure into it AT ALL, then he should have released a statement saying that he was honoring the extension that was just signed in March and turned down the extra $2m/yr.

Where the Texas folks were delusional, IMO, is thinking that Saban wanted anything to do with that looney bin of a program after seeing how meddlesome the boosters are. It's like your potential in-laws: you're not just marrying the girl- you're marrying the whole family. Who knowingly walks into that?

Not sure he stays in another capacity if he "steps down" after this shite show

Mack will do it again until he is the all time wins leader. I think he is within 10 wins of passing DKR. JMO and I could be wrong.

221 is the number if wins to beat dkr in total wins and really all Mack gives a shite about. I hope it takes him five to seven losing seasons to get there.

I can't stand the man. He's not some ole shucks old man like he is portrayed. He vindictive and sucks at his job. He has failed Texas for five years while fixing the football program. He has been blown out and embarrassed by much lesser teams. He hasn't been working hard either all the while taking home number 2 coach money with number 50 coach results.

He needs to be fired right now and I don't care about any records that the glory hounds wants. He is a failure of a football coach with only two conf champs in 16 years.

You didn't in any way address the OP's question.

I accepted an invite for a New Years Day party at a buddy's house who is a UT alum and a huge fan. UT is going to get smoked by Oregon and I'll have to sit an listen to hours of bellyaching about Mack and how he screwed them over.

I might have to cancel.

Are we really sure that Oregon can smash Texas?

They got their asses kicked by a very average Arizona.

Last year everyone thought Oregon State would rock the Horns and Texas won.

While you can't exactly say team A beat team B ergo this happens, especially when its a rivalry game and in different years, Oregon did just barely beat Oregon State by 1.

If Case plays halfway decent Texas should be able to stay in the game.

Texas is in-between a rock and a hard place with Mack. Hard to justify canning someone with his overall, plus he's got 8 wins this year. Texas is just setting themselves back another year as far as trying to be an elite team again. Mack is done with being elite. And yes, Oregon is gonna hang a ton of points on them and it will be a bad loss for Mack.
