Waiting on that controversial comment...

He was gonna 100% try to say that Conner Harrell was at least the equal to Drake Maye.

The kid flashed some talent. We didn't lose because of Harrell. We lost because Mack Brown's teams collapse down the stretch. Period. They did it with Howell. They did it with Maye. They all fall apart coming down the home stretch. It's not a player issue.

If Maye, Tez Walker, Cedric Gray play honestly we still lose. It's a late season Mack Brown game. We lose those.

My concern is that Mack couldn't achieve more than decent with teams that regressed over the course of the season with guys like Howell and Maye at QB. UNC level programs just don't have those types of QB talents back to back. It doesn't happen. Well, they're gone now. Lightning is highly unlikely to strike three times. So if we don't have an NFL caliber talent at QB what's it gonna look like? That's my concern.

Maybe Caleb Williams isn't all that special and it's actually Lincoln Riley? Everyone the guy puts on the field at QB puts up video games stats.

For the nfl I like maye slightly more then williams but you cannot deny calebs arm and athleticism.  He does however hold the ball far too long and overly tries to make big plays instead of taking whats there.  I think he will be fine in the nfl.

 

In regards to riley, his offense produces big numbers but he also has big time qb recruits playing for him.  That doesnt hurt, moss was like a top 10 qb recruit.

He is also an entitled mamas boy who gonna start crying about leaving once he faces NFL adversity. So many red flags with this dude I bet Tepper has a hard on for him

No talk of retirement, not that he should be expected to say something like that in a post game press conference.

 

He's gotta go. It's just a happy retirement gig for him. What do you mean you're not happy? We won 8 games! We went to a bowl! Nevermind that we show promise in the first half of the season before ultimately face planting and abysmally failing to live up to expectations and potential every year. 8 wins aren't created equal. We end every season playing our worst football at the end of the year and we can't gain any momentum because of it. Mack's gotta go. If he's back next year we probably win 4-5 games and start sliding back to where Fedora had us making the whole "Return of the Mack" era largely meaningless. It was a get right move to build a bridge to the next era. Mission accomplished. Don't burn the damn bridge down.

Although these bowl games are less exciting, it does help for the guys sitting behind those stars sitting out for the draft. Gives hardcore fans a chance to see the future of the team for next season.

 

I'm still about getting rid of bowl games though. The average fan is not going to watch if none of the stars are playing. I'm sure ratings will indicate that once the playoffs start.
