re: Is Texas about to open up

As long as he gets to a bowl, and doesn't get beat to badly by OU then he should be fine.

No.

If you're Baylor, Tech, or TCU you can do that and get away with it. Nobody expects much more from those programs.

Texas BMD's have far different expectations. They expect the Horns to be in the hunt for national titles virtually every year, and are tired of seeing Stoops hang 55+ on them (which he has done the last two years).

And trips to the Alamo Bowl (which is actually an improvement over the prior two seasons) are not acceptable. Especially with BOTH of their rivals facing each other in a higher-ranked bowl.

Bottom line: Brown either gets the Horns to a BCS bowl next year or the BMD's start making noise. Money talks and BS walks.
