Mack Brown: Will Muschamp must wait

Mack Brown said he was tired and worn out after winning the 2005 national championship. He knee was in terrible shape. He didn’t know how long he might coach.

Fast forward almost five years. The Texas coach says he feels “better than I’ve felt in years.” Brown had knee replacement surgery in 2006 and said it feels much better.

So even though Texas has a coach-in-waiting, defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, Brown doesn’t talk like a guy who will step down soon, even though he’s about to embark on his 13th Longhorn season.
