How Mack Brown is getting closer and closer to Texas program under the Tom Herman era

Three takeaways from recent developments in college sports:

Action: Mack Brown was part of the Longhorn Network broadcast team for the Texas spring game Saturday, offering insight into the current quarterback situation.

Reaction: After being fired after the 2013 season, Brown kept a healthy distance from Texas football despite working as an ESPN analyst. After a few years, he’s now getting closer to the program, something new athletic director Chris Del Conte has embraced - especially with former Brown grad assistant Tom Herman as the head coach.

At the same time, Brown didn’t hesitate to offer a few opinions during the LHN broadcast.
