Mack Brown: Don’t blame me for state of Texas program

The Texas Longhorns are in bad shape this season after being utterly embarrassed in their season-opening 38-3 loss to Notre Dame.

Charlie Strong has already made a major change to his coaching staff in response to the defeat, as he stripped Shawn Watson of play-calling duties and handed them to Jay Norvell. This is Strong’s second season on the job since taking over the program from Mack Brown, and Brown claims no responsibility for the state of the program.

Brown, now an analyst with ESPN, was quoted by the San Antonio Express-News’ Tim Griffin as saying he really does not feel responsibility for the current state of the program.
