Rumors in Austin are running wild about the future of Mack Brown. Here was a marque coach who had a 'coach in waiting replacement' who couldn't wait on Mack to stack his legacy with potential national championship trophies and for Mack to ride the waves to the AD's office. This former Sooner staff coach was seen as a potential living legend.

Did Mack's greed and 'super ego' led to his fall off the turnip wagon?

"One has to wonder just how much Brown has left, at least in regards to his time in Austin. Looking at the rest of the Longhorns’ schedule, one can only assume that Texas will drop at least three or four more games. If they finish around the .500 mark, it is unlikely that Brown will return to Texas in 2014."

Lou Holtz comes to Mack Brown's defense.

"ESPN's College Football Live ran a mock trial on whether the Texas Longhorns should fire Mack Brown. Rece Davis was the judge, while Mark May argued for firing Brown and Holtz argued against firing. What started out as a light-hearted segment ended with Holtz seriously and passionately defending Mack Brown, then knocking the podium over and walking off the set."

Let us hope that Mack Brown survives this latest 'installment' attacking his coaching credentials (after Red River Shootout); give the OU Sooners a few more years of hooking those horns as Mack's legacy sinks into the quicksand pit of high profile college coaches who have been put out to pasture.
