Mack's a good man. After Texas won the NC, he told his team in the lockeroom: "I don't want this to be the best thing that's ever happened in your life. When you're 54, I don't want you to say 'Winning a football game is the best thing that's ever happened in my life.' You'll have it and you'l be a champion for the rest of your life... one of the best sports things in your life. But you promise me... you got enough about you to be a great citizen and a great role model, a great father, and a great leader in your family. And that's what we're looking for when you get out of here. That's what we want."

[@NoFace-ke9pc]

An outstanding man.

[@vidpie]

@@NoFace-ke9pc I just realized Mack Brown was 54 years old when he said that.

[@dominicpodom]

I'm an A&M fan but I'll never have a bad word to say about Mack. Good dude

[@Drewtamu]

Same here

[@js1132000]

He was and is all class, all the time. Privileged to have had him as the had coach when I was a student in Austin. He’s a great man. His wife makes good cookies too 😂

[@dougrose7334]

I am a longhorn and disagree. The way that petulant ego maniac left destroyed any real coaching search. It's an absolute fact that he told Tom Hicks that he would not allow Nick Saban to come to Austin and win it all with HIS players. He thought he was bigger than Texas football and put himself above the program. F that baby. ...... And before anyone says it no I don't believe Saban was ever going to come here but I do believe we were talking to his agent and Mack shut it down. His agent was probably trying to get him a raise but that's not the point here.

[@Hookah_Horns]

​​@@dougrose7334I will always believe Saban was ready to make that move. Mack is a two faced dude whose aw shucks folksiness is a facade. I think he's a good guy overall, but I could never stand the phoniness. Sark’s authenticity is refreshing. And yeah the way he handled his downfall at Texas was embarrassing. He thought he was the program, if not bigger than it.

[@chancegeiger1546]

The best interview of the series imo.

[@CFB-Traditions]

You didn’t even watch the entire video before commenting this 😂

[@stinkasscat]

​@Austin-Gregory who cares???

[@ChaosKLC]

This might be the best football interview we see all year. Wow. Nothing but respect for Mack.

[@seanholt4437]

Can we get an interview with Sally? Sounds like she's got all the good stories 😂. This is the best interview to date, and I'm only half way through.

[@rickzwayer2347]

I am an Ohio State fan but also a fan of Coach Brown, ihe s a class act and a terrific coach. Enjoyed watching this legend speak.

[@carltonvanhoy3999]

Mrs Sally Brown is the power behind the throne. She keeps Mack in line, and is a team mom. Nothing but love for the Browns, even when I question some of the things that have transpired.

[@miketemple7686]

Longhorn fan here. Since Coach Brown was let go from UT in 2013, we are on our third head coach. It hasn’t been until this last year that we have come close to sniffing the prominence we once had under him. That’s 11 years!! We still miss ya Coach Brown. Hook ‘em 🤘

[@737smartin]

Love me some Mack Brown! 🤘

[@Gopwarhorse]

Best interview you have done. One of the best of his generation.

[@randy129]

Josh. If I were you I would have highjacked that man for the day just for the opportunity to talk with him and absorb absolutely as much wisdom from him as you possibly could. Great interview.

[@glennvanzandt3011]

I love that, "don't have a drill just to have a drill." If a drill doesn't translate to the field it's useless. Great wisdom from coach Brown

[@bendixon3854]

My pookie bear Mac Brown, I love u so much. Sincerely, Texas fan

[@BreezeFrey]

I'm chuckling at the info bar saying he is entering his 6th year a UNC coach, forgetting his previous 10 years as UNC head coach.

As a UNC fan / alum I love Mack brown. This interview is a masterclass from both Josh and Mack.

[@ronodell2935]

Mack brown in my opinion easily a top 10 all time college coach.

[@natlovell122]

Josh, I don’t think you quite understand just how amazing/essential these coaches interview are! Maybe you do and that’s why you’re doing them. Either way, appreciate these

[@morganhale3434]

Mack Brown changed the course of Longhorn Football history, and I will always be thankful for that. I think he was done hard by the University of Texas but what was going on at the school at the time was an implosion in leadership and his treatment was more of a symptom of the greater sickness at Texas.

[@charles_the_elder]

Wow, this coach is an icon for a reason. One of my favorite interviews yet.

[@willreed313]

I’d vote for him for CFB commissioner.

[@angejask]

Mack Brown might be one of my new favorite coaches! My favorite interview thus far.

[@geauxtigers4320]

Mack Brown is a National Treasure 🇺🇸

[@beermeBrow]

I believe that the two seasons that really messed him up at Texas. 2008 and 2009. Those 2 seasons really messed him up at Texas. Both seasons were so close to a championship. After that you can see a real decline at Texas. That being said he is still a legend and will always be a Texas 🤘🏽.

[@BIGGDOGG-cb7jn]

I think Mac brown is doing a great job and should keep coaching as long as he can - from Raleigh

[@God-Bless-Texas]

Mack is and always has been a class act. I have so much respect for him🤘

[@samelsaadi8503]

Damn good Interview! He’s a legend for a reason.

It's great to see these types of interviews, between legendary coaches and their insight on the game that has given them so much opportunity.

[@jeanthony4003]

This was a really good interview, Josh. It was really great to listen to Coach Brown. He really shook up recruiting when he first came to Texas U. and there are a lot of Texans who didn't like that. I'm one. But he showed what a class act he is, usually, in this interview and by what he said after the A&M bonfire tumbled and killed all the Aggie bonfire workers. Thank you.

[@user-nm6py3bd6h]

I'm a Oregon Duck but I love the way Coach Brown is talking about College Football and the kids he coaches. You can tell he truly loves his players and Football. Awesome Coach!!

Unexpected surprise. Texas guy here and I’ll always love and root for coach brown. Great coach and an even better person. Because NC isn’t looking like a national championship contender he’s not exactly the talk of college football but I’m glad yall were able to make this work

This was a great interview, very insightful. I think it would be a good idea to throw in a question about the impact their wives have had because Mac mentioned a few times how she was the brain-trust behind a few major decisions.

Good Job Josh, Great Interview.

In his first stint at North Carolina, Mack Brown managed to have three 10-win seasons. At Texas, he managed to have nine-straight double-digit win seasons, complete with multiple BCS bowl berths and two national championship appearances.

[@bc5208]

@@vidpie yes he manages great staffs. He’s a great head man.

[@Crz3552]

I dig this series but the constant effort pate puts in to pretend guys weren’t getting paid before NIL and that the media is to blame for bowl game opt outs really makes it hard to take Josh as seriously as he takes himself. Players can opt out now because they started getting some power and agency. And the proliferation of bowls themselves made them meaningless. If you have an nfl career in front of you are you gonna go risk your ACL for the fucking bad boy mowers bowl ?

[@r.s.w.k4569]

Too close/nice to coaches, that’s the biggest flaw of your channel. We don’t want shills for coaches making 50-100 mil over 10 years. We want objective analysis and a josh pate that won’t cowtow to these professional liars. Hold them accountable instead of buttering them up for access/content.

[@williamtexas261]

Another great interview in this Speaker Series! I think these are the BEST coach interviews because they’re totally away from fan-related football events. I have always liked and respected Coach Brown - an icon in the sport and coaching profession. Whether it’s spring practice and spring games/scrimmages, or the regular season during game week or even during a bye week, coaches at those times mentioned are generally babbling a lot of “coach speak” rather than just talking openly about the game/sport or that year’s team. In fairness they somewhat have to at those times I mentioned because they’re all doing a lot of what Coach Saban was famous for - they are making a statement to the press or having an actual press conference BUT they’re messaging their teams and their fan bases and not just talking. I hope this Speaker Series becomes a regular event EVERY SPRING (or dreaded “offseason”). Another Genius Move by Team Josh & the Pate State Crew! I also love that it’s roughly 3 coaches per week this time as we get to hear from more than just the handful of icons or top team head coaches. Fore example, I also LOVED the K-State (Chris Klieman) and Iowa State (Matt Campbell) coach interviews because I don’t regularly hear what those guys are saying since I don’t follow their teams in depth!

Omg Crack Brown. The guy who once benched Major Applewhite for Kristi Simms. Glad Saban ended them in 2009
