Mr. Football

Randy Galloway has an interesting column on Chris Simms and Mack Brown. It seems that a fair number of NFL scouts and coaches are none too impressed with the development of NFL prospects who are coming out of Austin (or that offense Mack ran this year).

Given the blue-chip talent he had on offense this year and the degree to which it underperformed, one would think Mack would make bigger changes than the minor reshuffle that took place. Then again, maybe that's why Spurrier called him Mr. Football. And why NFL scouts are not that impressed.

This is an odd comment from Kirk Bohls:

He sacked offensive line coach Tim Nunez, bumped running backs coach Bruce Chambers to tight ends coach, gave the entire line to Mac McWhorter and hired Louisiana State assistant Mike Haywood to get the most out of Benson. Chambers represents many of the qualities Brown nurtures � he's black and came from the high school coaching ranks � but, like all of Texas' coaches, he's been put on notice that he must produce.

Umm... Mack Brown nurtures black-ness and high-school-coaching-ness?! What in the hell is Bohls trying to say?
