Mack Brown doesn’t want blame for Texas football woes

Former Texas Longhorns head coach Mack Brown doesn’t want any of the blame for the lackluster performance of the team.

Mack Brown is enjoying his post-coaching career after stepping down as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns. Unfortunately for Longhorns fans, Charlie Strong hasn’t quite helped the program rise and find success during his tenure and it was evident during a blowout loss at the hands of Notre Dame in the opening game of the season.

But don’t blame Brown for the team’s woes.

“I really don’t,” Brown told Tim Griffin of the San Antonio Express-News when asked if he feels responsible for the state of the program.

“I think if that was the case, our first year, we would have had to give all the credit to John Mackovic. So, to me, that’s happens when you change. Change is very unique. Sometimes it works great immediately. Sometimes it takes a while. Last year, it didn’t work. There were suspensions, changes, injuries and transfers.”

This is new head coach Charlie Strong’s second season as head coach and not his first, which you think should make a difference. That being said the talent pool that Brown inherited and Brown left behind for Strong are vastly different.

For instance, Brown inherited a crop of players highlighted perhaps by quarterback Major Applewhite and running back Ricky Williams.

Not exactly what Strong is working with in Tyrone Swoopes and Johnathan Gray.
