It’s official: Texas football coach Mack Brown will resign, the school announced last night.Brown will coach the Longhorns when they take on the Oregon Ducks in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Dec. 30.
“It is the best coaching job and the premier football program in America. I sincerely want it to get back to the top and that’s why I am stepping down after the bowl game. I hope with some new energy, we can get this thing rolling again," Brown said.
