Mack Brown Won Quotations

The other thing I would say about Vince Young is he just had the highest passing efficiency of any quarterback in the country. We're very complicated with what we do offensively, and he's won 30 and lost two. He would have graduated next fall.

What we're going to do is enjoy this run right now. We'll be in spring practice Feb. 24 and get ready to start over because next year's team hasn't won a game.

Next year's team hasn't won a game. There's not going to be another Vince Young. We can win football games at Texas because we won them before Vince got here, and we'll win them afterwards.

I would say if you're ranked No. 1, you better be really good, because it takes on a life of its own. Everyone complained that we had the best recruiting class in country but we only won 10 games. I said, 'Yeah, I know, we were terrible.' Chris Simms finished as the school's all-time passing leader, Cory Redding starts for Detroit, and some people think that class wasn't a success.

Jim is a great coach who has won more games than I have. I've got my own problems this year ... having two great quarterbacks isn't a problem.

Usually the coach of the year is the guy that overcame something. We didn't overcome anything. We just won a big game at the end and we hadn't been doing that. For Joe to do what he's done over the last few years and turn his program completely around is really, really special. I don't think there's any question he's deserving of this award.

When I got here, we won the first two games and there really wasn't much talk about (the series),

Vince is very intelligent. He led the country in passing efficiency, we run a complicated offense, and he won 30 (games) and lost two (in his career).

This guy won 30 straight games in the 1960s and I wanted to get you two together.

It was really surreal, when you're sitting there in the fourth quarter and you're down by two scores to a team who had won 34 straight game and still think you're going to win. We never ever really thought we would lose the ballgame.

It was really surreal when we were sitting in the fourth quarter and we were down by two scores, and you think you're going to win. You're playing a team that has won 34 straight games, and momentum is turning, and your defense is struggling. But we never thought we would lose the ballgame.

The message is we are one of the top two teams in the country. We won by 62, and that's without running it up. We have to enjoy this ride, enjoy this moment.
