He was hired to get rid of Brown and move Texas forward for sure. But, the guy hasn't even had time to meet all the athletic department, implement any of his plans, evaluate what is going on and he is asked to make a career defining decision. Putting a committee together to back your decision is one way to cover your arse with the big money donors.
What if you were hired by the largest company in whatever market and the next day asked to make a 10 year decision that will completely determine your success or failure of your new job and what every shareholder thought about you forever.
Wouldn't you maybe think about putting together a group of employees that know the company to help you make that decision? Asking for others to help is not weakness just foresight. I don't think you would be a very good leader if your willing to make that decision on your own with no knowledge of the company.
The only problem I have with the committee is no football people were included.

It's not like he has never hired a football coach before. IMO, an AD should always have a short list of candidate at least in their head because you never know when you will be searching for a coach. Plus it's not like he didn't know he was going to have to replace Brown when he was hired. Everyone knew the end was coming for Mack.
