That last statement is why Mack Brown is the greatest coach in college football. Not only is he creating leaders on the field, he's creating leaders in the world.
As a SC fan I’ll remember a game of what could’ve been. However that Texas team was something special and that was probably the best championship game I’ve ever seen. As a SC fan you felt helpless watching Vince Young move that ball on the final drive, a team of destiny. What a game.
Texas fan here, i think if you played that game 10 times it would be 5-5. these teams were so evenly matched yet completely different in overall style. it came down to a few plays as it usually does. people put too much emphasis on Vince Young's performance but to me it was the three big defensive plays that won it for Texas, the INT and the 4th and 1 stop in the first half and that big 4th and 1 stop with 2 minutes to go. Carroll made the right call, go for it with a power lineup and White. people fault Carroll for having Reggie Bush on the sideline on that play but he's simply not a between the tackles runner like White was. right call, right formation. Texas just made the play. without that VY doesn't get back on the field and SC gets 3 in a row.
I am a die hard USC Fan and I have never seen this until today. I was at this game and it broke my heart when we lost, However after hearing Mack Brown I am glad we not only lost to a great team but a class act in the texas coach. His words of life wisdom are words to live by for everyone!!! My total respect to the Texas coach Texas Football team and fans, which were class acts outside of the stadium. we new it would take a great team to beat us and that is what Texas was phenomenal god bless.
actually, he did. if needed and warranted. Brown was no pushover with players, he was the coach and made it stick. he booted Ramonce Taylor off the team the year after he helped UT win the national title. he refused to allow an All-America tackle to play in his last game at Texas because he was failing his classes. Brown had already announced he would resign. he could have left anyone play but stuck to his principles and didn't.
David Thomas had a terrifically OUTSTANDING game that night and it’s always bothered me that he was so overlooked for his performance. I hope he’s doing well & life has been good to him & for him. I hope he’s followed Mac’s advice and has been good to his fellow man.
Mack Brown is the best coach in D1 football. Not only does he field consistently competitive teams, the man is nothing but classy. Can't think of any other D1 coach who would have the presence of mind in such a situation who would tell his kids that he hopes this isn't the best moment of their lives, just one of them, and what he expects of them after leaving the University. An extraordinary man leading a world class team. God bless him and his Longhorns.
I cant express enough how much love I have for this longhorn team. Im not just saying this because I am a student but even if I wasnt a texas fan, I would still have nothing but the utmost respect for them. They all handle themselves with class and dignity. Mack Brown is one hell of a man and coach! Sally is lucky to have him! LOL Hook 'Em Horns!!!
Thank you so much for posting this! What an incredible, moving speech! It was a season where the Horns overcame odds and pundits to go undefeated, and the Longhorn nation will always be proud of this team for their hard work.
It's Sunday morning here in SoCal.... and after watching this ..... I sort of feel like I've been to church! Thank You so much for sharing this unique and private experience..... LLL
The best maybe not by national titles but by the quality and character of the man he’s the epitome of a class act. Quick story I played high school ball with an absolute beast of a man 6’4” 295 pounds with 11% body fat he ran a 4.48 40 bench pressed 575 and squatted 900 he looked like he was literally grown in a lab to play ball. He committed to Texas junior year and in the state championship our senior year he had 9 sacks in the first half the second half started with the other teams guard standing him up and the center crashed his knee which absolutely wrecked his knee the drs told him he’d never play again. Most college football coaches would have cut bait and gotten that scholarship back but Mack brown honored this young mans scholarship and though was never the player he once was he was on that national championship team. Coach Brown did not have to do that but he is above anything a class act and the man has had my respect ever since... we should have never gotten rid of coach brown bc football is more than wins and losses it’s teaching young men as he said to be role models and leaders that’s what cfb is sorely missing a coach that genuinely cares
Texas had a ridiculous amount of talent this year. I mean they even had Jamaal Charles arguably the best running back in the NFL as of right now, are you kidding me? Lol Not only a lot of talent but a lot of these guys are STILL playing at a high level. You don't see that often.
@allen78704 that last play when he got sacked, they ran the play shipley got his second TD on. (its called the WR INS on ncaa) they fell for it the same way they did b4. shipley was wide open again! qb just got sacked
You obviously missed the entire point of my post...it's not just about on the field results. Stoops focuses on the football...particularly running up the scores, and gets players who get embroiled in scandals reflective of their ethics (rather than just having too much fun in Austin or texting while driving). Stoops has a lot of wins over lousy Big 12 teams but he can't beat Texas for the life of him nor win a BCS game. He has lost 5 BCS games in the last 6 years...Big Game Bob strikes again.
no way dude. bama's run game tore you're defense to shreds and we basically didn't have our starting qb cause he was playing on 2 broken ribs. We played tougher teams in a tougher conference. if mccoy had stayed, it would've been a completely different ball game. unlike a lot of low-life fans, i have respect for texas and mccoy and i'm a bama fan.
@SpacePyro thats cool that youre in the band even though i always thought those uniforms were a little suspect, lol..not hatin though, i bet the rose bowl was an experience, and yea that happens when the star player goes out...last year when bama got beat by utah in the sugar bowl we were all sayin that if andre smith (offensive lineman, outland trophy winner) wouldve played it would have been a different game..it sucks to say but excuses help most people get over it
@YandellEsp15 they would never take VANDY out of the SEC. They are not very good at football granted but they are always top of the country in Basketball and Baseball.... and bowling... can't forget that...
I believe all these Longhorns will go on to do bigger and better things!! Does anyone have a video of the Longhorns riding the whales in San Diego during this Rose Bowl trip?
If Colt was able to play, Texas would have bent Bama over. Now Bama will always have an asterisk by this win..they almost let a true freshman beat their supposed "vaunted defense"
Perhaps in my opinion one of the best coaches I wonder how Colt McCoy and Vince young felt back their I also wondered how Gilbert felt after the loss thou they lost in my opinion Bama is the one who lost almost losing to a True Freeshman quarter back Hook em!
@Tarwater03 thats some wierd reasoning, Ou has 7 national championships and texas has 4, Ou has 5 heisman winners i dont even know how few texas has but i guarantee you its less than Ou. oh yeah and texas went 5-7 this year, Ou won a bcs bowl. but yeah somehow texas is better
That last statement is why Mack Brown is the greatest coach in college football. Not only is he creating leaders on the field, he's creating leaders in the world.
bro wrote this before nick saban took over bama 😭
This is the greatest victory speech in the history of college football. I'll remember Mack Brown for that.

It doesn't get any better than Mack Brown or Texas.
Undeniably the best title game ever
I’m an OU alum…but dang…that was a good speech.
“Don’t let this be the best thing to ever happen to you.”
Classic.
Best college coach ever ! Really loved those kids and people gave him flak for not kicking kids off the team and ruining their lives!
Nick Saban has entered the chat
actually, he did. if needed and warranted. Brown was no pushover with players, he was the coach and made it stick. he booted Ramonce Taylor off the team the year after he helped UT win the national title. he refused to allow an All-America tackle to play in his last game at Texas because he was failing his classes.

Chills every time I see this like Vince said in 05' "We'll be back"
its like an emmy or an oscar HELL NO!!! THIS IS BIG TIME!!! -thank you for posting.
What a class act. Mack's everything that's good about college football.
This is really the consummate Mack Brown speech. With a little VY in there for good measure.
This is a great speech!
David Thomas killed us that day. Best Tight End performance I´ve ever seen in a Championship game
David Thomas had a terrifically OUTSTANDING game that night and it’s always bothered me that he was so overlooked for his performance. I hope he’s doing well & life has been good to him & for him. I hope he’s followed Mac’s advice and has been good to his fellow man.
10 years ago tonight, right around this time. Timeless words for Champions to live by! Live the Dream, until Gabriel blows his horn \m/

“Chip what did we do?”
“We kicked their ass!”
Thank you so much for posting this! What an incredible, moving speech! It was a season where the Horns overcame odds and pundits to go undefeated, and the Longhorn nation will always be proud of this team for their hard work.
Its very rare to find a coach that is not worried as much about winning, yet he cares more about the well being of his players
It's Sunday morning here in SoCal.... and after watching this ..... I sort of feel like I've been to church!
Thank You so much for sharing this unique and private experience..... LLL
I’ll always love Mack and what he brought to the program
Mack Brown had just won his "you can't fire me for life" card.
Love that speech! I watched Vince all through high school, so it wasn't a matter of if......it was when!!
Vince Young was so spectacular that night. Completely UNSTOPPABLE! HOOK 'EM!
Wow i love Mac Brown. Even after winning a National Title he talks more about being a good person than winning.
One of the best coaches we’ve ever had!
The best maybe not by national titles but by the quality and character of the man he’s the epitome of a class act. Quick story I played high school ball with an absolute beast of a man 6’4” 295 pounds with 11% body fat he ran a 4.48 40 bench pressed 575 and squatted 900 he looked like he was literally grown in a lab to play ball.

I remember this game. When nobody believed in Tx but Tx believed in themselves and Won ATX baby 🤘🏼 home of the longhorns
Yeah A&M, call me when you have one of these in this century...or at least a BCS (now "playoff bowl" with the new changes" bowl game
Fuck you. You guys haven't done shit since Mack Brown.
The class and pride of the Great State of Texas. Go Horns!
Texas had a ridiculous amount of talent this year. I mean they even had Jamaal Charles arguably the best running back in the NFL as of right now, are you kidding me? Lol Not only a lot of talent but a lot of these guys are STILL playing at a high level. You don't see that often.
eureka0521 both teams were really stacked with great talent
Jamaal Charles was Big 12 Rookie of The Year that season
i dont really know this coach to well, but he had one hell of a speech
Ol' Butter teeth in happier times. Texas hopefully will get back to this again in my lifetime. Yay Holiday Bowl 2014
Building up again brother! 🤘
No one has surpassed Coach Brown since he was forced to leave.
Wow, Mac Brown = Class Act
class at its finest

I still remember this game was Unbelievable, Vince Making the play of the game, Hook em' Horns

Great speech by a great coach.
We'll be back!
Hook 'em Horns! \m/
You obviously missed the entire point of my post...it's not just about on the field results. Stoops focuses on the football...particularly running up the scores, and gets players who get embroiled in scandals reflective of their ethics (rather than just having too much fun in Austin or texting while driving).
Stoops has a lot of wins over lousy Big 12 teams but he can't beat Texas for the life of him nor win a BCS game. He has lost 5 BCS games in the last 6 years...Big Game Bob strikes again.
wha? orakpo was already on that team?
What is VY saying at 5:00?
Lol at the lady in the beginning that didn't know the words. XD
Texas will return to prominence once again...just wait until the Holiday Bowl!
MACK BROWN is the GOAT
"bacc then they didnt want us.....
.....now we hot they all on us." my fav part
kicked their ASSSSSSS!!!
Damn rest in peace Air McNair
YES.
GREAT GAME
Is that you, Matt Leinart?
what was vince saying at 4:59?
Mack is a great coach, and that team was a special team. Hook 'em. It's sad to see Steve McNair there though.
@Keymosaubee100 there was rumors that they're taking vanderbilt out from the SEC and putting in Texas.
no way dude. bama's run game tore you're defense to shreds and we basically didn't have our starting qb cause he was playing on 2 broken ribs. We played tougher teams in a tougher conference. if mccoy had stayed, it would've been a completely different ball game. unlike a lot of low-life fans, i have respect for texas and mccoy and i'm a bama fan.

Fuck yes. Hook em horns.
And I couldnt have said it better myself PlatinumChief.
vzw07. He is saying "Back then they didnt want us". Then the team is saying "Now that we hot they all up on us!"
@YandellEsp15 they would never take VANDY out of the SEC. They are not very good at football granted but they are always top of the country in Basketball and Baseball.... and bowling... can't forget that...
Longhorns baby!!!!! :-)
Cal should have been where? This was the 2005 season.
Back Then They Didn't Want Us....Now We Hot They All On Us!
I believe all these Longhorns will go on to do bigger and better things!!
Does anyone have a video of the Longhorns riding the whales in San Diego during this Rose Bowl trip?
@YandellEsp15
Cool stuff bc our conference is probably tanking
@olehyvva I totally agree!
If Colt was able to play, Texas would have bent Bama over. Now Bama will always have an asterisk by this win..they almost let a true freshman beat their supposed "vaunted defense"
that was mine too!!
Perhaps in my opinion one of the best coaches I wonder how Colt McCoy and Vince young felt back their I also wondered how Gilbert felt after the loss thou they lost in my opinion Bama is the one who lost almost losing to a True Freeshman quarter back Hook em!
3:30.......Mack: "Chip, what did we do"? Chip: "We kicked their ass"! S-W-A-G-G-E-R. Everyone tune in for the 2010 version, coming soon!
Not that night...
@Tarwater03 thats some wierd reasoning, Ou has 7 national championships and texas has 4, Ou has 5 heisman winners i dont even know how few texas has but i guarantee you its less than Ou. oh yeah and texas went 5-7 this year, Ou won a bcs bowl. but yeah somehow texas is better
