CBS: Recruiting setbacks, BYU loss should put Mack Brown on Texas' clock

[BleedGopher]

per Dennis Dodd:

If I'm running the University of Texas, Mack Brown is on the clock. And not that broken clock he thinks he's on, the kind that will never tell him when it's time to go. No, if I'm running Texas, Mack Brown has the rest of this season to fix his football program -- or he's gone. He's gone fondly and appreciatively, but he's gone definitely.

It's about recruiting in general, and it's about that 40-21 loss Saturday at BYU in particular, but it's about more than either of those abominations. It's about the general malaise that happens to a great coach -- and Mack Brown deserves to go down in history as a great coach -- when that coach has been at a place for too long. For some guys, like Bobby Bowden and Joe Paterno, staying too long at a school means staying three or four decades and coaching into their 70s or 80s. It means reaching a point where a coach clearly isn't what he was, and neither is his program.

I wonder what "they" are hearing in Fargo.

based on Texas's performance over the past couple of yeas he should be gone... They have one of/ if not the most fertal recruiting grounds.. they should never take a step back... or down... Texas should have made a change last year

He should have stepped down after the 2009 season (and might have turned over the reigns to Muschamp had they not been panted by Bama) , but I'm all for keeping him around as long as possible.
