Mack Brown has returned to the Texas Longhorns football program, but not as head coach. Instead, he has accepted a role as a senior advisor, focusing on player development, program culture, and recruiting. This move comes as Texas prepares to transition into the SEC, and Brown’s extensive experience is seen as invaluable during this pivotal time for the program.
Brown previously served as Texas head coach from 1998 to 2013, leading the team to a national championship in 2005. After retiring from coaching, he returned to North Carolina for a second stint as head coach but departed at the end of the 2024 season. Now back in Texas, Brown is eager to contribute to the Longhorns’ success in this new capacity.
Head coach Steve Sarkisian has welcomed Brown’s return, valuing his mentorship and strategic insights. Brown’s presence is expected to have a significant impact on recruiting and team morale as the Longhorns embark on this new chapter.
Fans have expressed excitement on social media, with the hashtag #MackIsBack trending, signaling widespread support for Brown’s return to the program.
