It’s amazing to think that less than two years ago I was typing this. I was trying to talk to a reluctant fan base about embracing the return of Mack Brown. I cite Stewart Mandel giving the grade a C, and in our Slack discussion after the game I was reminded that C was actually one of the kinder grades from both national analysts and people on our own staff.
So on the day that Texas fired Tom Herman to set the wheels in motion for the Longhorns’ third coach since Brown left, you couldn’t help but to smile as Brown lead the North Carolina Tar Heels to face the Texas A&M Aggies.
