Here’s a great observation from Berry Tramel:
That Mack Brown can’t stay out of trouble. This week Brown said he had “no aspirations to leave a legacy … this school, to me, is about coach Royal.
“How many people win three national championships and retire and stay in the same town? I enjoy bragging on coach Royal, because we can’t ever do what he’s done here.”
Contrast that with Bob Stoops, who pays due homage to past OU generals but wouldn’t utter the word “can’t” even under threat of torture.
True enough.
And if the Sooners play to their potential and win their next two games (as expected), Bob Stoops will have won two national championships — as opposed to the three national championships each won by Sooner legends Barry Switzer and Bud Wilkinson.
Meanwhile, Mack Brown’s reliving the three Darrel Royal championships over in Austin. Then again, Mack’s idea of motivation is telling his team to play like losers. So it’s not surprising he doesn’t have high aspirations for himself as UT’s coach.
