“I couldn't get out of my mind how miserable I'd been at the end of 10-...” — Mack Brown Quote

I couldn't get out of my mind how miserable I'd been at the end of 10-win seasons. I'd gone from passion to obsession the last few years at Texas.

I'd lost the joy of coaching. There were times after a win when I was shouting at my assistants leaving the field because I wasn't happy with the way we'd played. I had lost what I started out to be in coaching: Someone who had a positive effect on the lives of my players.

You went into the business to change kids lives and all the sudden you forget.

What we need to do is continue to learn to tackle better, continue to change the rules so we make it safer.

The last few years I became a lot more into sports. Growing up, the sports I liked were independent sports, like skateboarding. I was really into skateboarding, and not necessarily team televised sports.

I'm a parent, and I try to take care of my health and keep my life in order. In the last few years I've really had to decide what's important to me, and it seems to me that my family and my health are top on the list. And those have nothing to do with show business.

I can't think of any NBA team over the last few years that lost three starters. And we replaced them basically with three guys who really haven't played in this league.

What I feel bad about is not having published very much in the last few years.
