He's reportedly stayed on the university payroll as a special advisor to president Bill Powers. Last week the city of Austin declared January 30 "Mack and Sally Brown Day," an event covered by Texas's own official football site. Those facts make the conversation between four-star safety recruit John Bonney -- a long-time Texas commitment -- and Houston ABC station KTRK all the more potentially awkward.

The complete quote from Bonney:
I was at my official visit when Mack Brown resigned and he told us to go look around. [He said] he'll even talk to other coaches for you and everything because he really just wanted the best for us as players.

what was reported at the time was that he told them to wait out the hire and then if they weren't feeling it, he'd help them out. I'm sure kids interpreted that differently, but that's not really a big deal. The whole point was to tell them he'd have their back provided they didn't decommit until the new hire. Not a single one did fyi
