1 Mack Brown Mack Brown is in his 16th season as the head coach of the Texas Longhorns. With a mark at Texas of (.777), the 2008 Bobby Dodd National Coach of the Year and the 2009 Big 12 Coach of the Year has elevated the Longhorns program to new heights. The 2005 Paul W. Bear Bryant National Coach of the Year award winner, and coach of the 2005 BCS National Champions, he is one of a handful of coaches in the history of college football to lead two separate programs to a Top Five national finish. A member of the Longhorn Hall of Honor, Brown s 236 career victories rank 11th on the NCAA all-time list, and he is one of just four active coaches to have reached the 200-victory plateau. He is also one of only two coaches nationally to direct his teams to 20 bowls in the last 21 seasons and 22 winning seasons in the last 23 years, along with being one of only seven active coaches at FBS schools to have won 100 games at their current school. His 150 wins at Texas are the third-most in the nation in the last 15 years, and his 217 wins overall since 1990 are the most nationally. Those streaks are a reflection of the continuing success Brown has brought to a program that managed at least 10 wins just three times in the 15 years prior to his arrival in 1998, but has done so nine times in his 15 seasons, including a streak of nine consecutive that is the second-longest in NCAA history. Brown has also led the Longhorns to six seasons of at least 11 wins. Under Brown, Texas has won nine of its last 11 bowl games and has a 10-4 record overall, including a UT record streak of 12 consecutive bowl appearances. In the 15 years prior to Brown s arrival, Texas went to eight bowls and was 2-6. The 10 bowl wins give Brown the most in Texas history, passing Darrell Royal s eight. In addition, the streak includes a BCS National Championship, another BCS National Championship Game appearance and three BCS Bowl wins. Since Brown came to Austin, the Horns have finished the year ranked in the Top 15 in 10 of the last 13 years, which includes a string of 10 straight. They also have seven Top 10 finishes and five Top Five rankings. Prior to Brown s arrival in 1998, the last time Texas had finished the year in the Top 10 was In addition, Texas leads the nation in all time appearances in the BCS rankings with 102, which is nine more than Florida and Oklahoma. However excellence and consistency are nothing new to the coaching veteran of 40 years, including 29 as a head coach. Establishing stability has been a trademark of Brown s career, highlighted by his success at North Carolina and Texas. He rebuilt UNC after a series of disappointing seasons and turned it into a nationally-elite program. Fresh off a season that saw North Carolina finish 11-1 and fourth nationally (USA Today/CNN), Brown was hired as the 28th head coach in the storied history of Texas football on Dec. 4, He immediately developed a plan of attack, hiring a staff of veteran coaches who had familiarity with the Southwest. Brown linked tradition with winning, education and entertainment. From his first season, he steadily has restored pride in one of college football s most historic programs and put the swagger back in being a Longhorn. Brown has brought enthusiasm back to the UT program while wowing everyone from recruits to supporters and alumni. His down-home wit and wisdom are clearly energetic, thoughtful, engaging and enthusiastic. That passion has helped the Longhorns sign some of the nation s finest recruiting classes year in and year out, while raising the enthusiasm and support for Texas football to an all-time high. Beginning with an eight-city speaking tour of Texas in 1998 which turned into a revival as thousands of fans poured into crowded rooms to hear him speak Brown rapidly invigorated the mood and spirit of the UT faithful and hasn t missed a beat since. Brown reunited the Longhorns lettermen, welcoming any and all to practices and began a lettermen s reunion and golf tournament that has grown immensely each spring. Thousands of former lettermen and their families return to campus for the annual UT Spring Jamboree that Brown has turned into a weekend event in Austin. The Jamboree features a lettermen s golf outing and reunion to go along with pregame festivities and the Orange-White scrimmage. The weekend has set attendance records each year, topping out at 46,000 in 2012 and Brown also has added a Fan Appreciation Day in the fall. Mack has helped bring back the pride in Texas Football, former Longhorns All-American and NFL great Tommy Nobis said. Tradition is what makes the college game so exciting, and Mack is doing a great job getting everyone excited about wearing the burnt orange and white and being a Longhorn again. Brown also quickly built two other important bridges one with legendary former head coach Darrell Royal and the other with the important constituency of Texas high school coaches. Mack has done everything right from the first day he hit town, Royal said. He has established strong ties with the high school coaches, built a tremendous bond with the lettermen and gained unbelievable support. With all of the great things he has done in public relations, what people have learned is that he can coach, too. He is a dedicated football man and has assembled an outstanding staff. Together, they organize all the facets of the job. Talk about not leaving a stone unturned he turned over every rock as fast as he could. A major state official in North Carolina told one of our top people Mack could be elected governor, and he wasn t kidding. Mack is that strong with people. The union with Royal, whom Brown idolized as a young player in high school, has been a meaningful relationship for both men. Mack s like the Darrell Royal of the 21st century, UT All-American and 2002 College Football Hall of Fame inductee Jerry Sisemore said. He s hard-working and has a great concern for his athletes. The coaches and players work hard and support one another and that s exactly how Coach Royal ran things. Mack s the real deal and it s been fun to watch him build the program. An enthusiastic supporter of tradition, Brown is just as passionate in his appreciation of high school coaches, a group he treats with the utmost respect. The gregarious coach has engaged the proud Texas high school coaching community. Brown invites every high school staff to visit UT practices and rapidly built powerful bonds in that community. UT s high school coaches clinic has gone from a couple hundred coaches prior to his arrival to more than a thousand and become one of the state s most popular spring events.

2 Head Coach Our goal is to win championships with nice kids who are graduating. We may be in the entertainment business on the weekends, but we are in the education business during the week. Mack Brown I have never seen anyone make friends better or quicker with the high school coaching community, said Eddie Joseph, former executive VP of the Texas High School Coaches Association. Mack is amazing. He has the ability to make everyone feel at ease around him and makes the coaches from junior high on up feel comfortable. I think the thing that makes him so great for the coaches to work with is that he has a passion for high school coaches. He has a great deal of respect for the coaches. With his team, the message was clear from the first meeting on the evening of Dec. 4, He did not believe in rebuilding. He believed in winning. The standard was simple. He expected that, together, he and the team would have fun. He expected that, together, he and the team would do things the right way. He expected that, together, he and the team would win. Each year, Brown has built on that foundation while accomplishing feats not seen in Austin in decades. Brown s 12 consecutive seasons of at least nine wins are a UT first, as are his three back-to-back 11-win campaigns ( , , ), nine 10-victory seasons in a row, and three 12-win seasons (2005, 08, 09). Texas also set a school record with a streak of 12 straight bowl berths in Brown s time, bettering the nine straight bowl games from UT produced a streak of Top 25 finishes for 12 years in a row, a first since the Horns earned eight final Top 25 rankings in a row from The Longhorns also created a streak of 10 straight Top 13 finishes, which is a UT record. The Horns have claimed or shared the Big 12 South Division title in six of the last 15 years, including four conference championship game berths and two Big 12 titles. In 15 seasons, Brown s Longhorns squads have featured a Heisman Trophy winner, two runners-up and a third-place finisher, three Maxwell Award winners, three WCFF Player of the Year Award winners, two Doak Walker Award winners, two Thorpe Award winners, two Nagurski Trophy winners, two O Brien Award winners a Butkus Award winner, a Lombardi Award winner, two Manning Award winners, a Hendricks Award winner, two Draddy/Campbell Trophy winners, a Wuerffel Trophy winner, a Disney Spirit Award winner, a FWAA Armed Forces Merit Award winner, 52 All-Americans, 71 first-team All-Big 12 selections, five Big 12 Offensive Players of the Year, five Big 12 Defensive Players of the Year and 12 Big 12 Freshman of the Year honorees. During that time, UT has established one of the nation s premier offensive attacks, while rejuvenating a once struggling Longhorns defense into one of the nation s best. Defensively, Brown has transformed a unit that ranked 85th nationally in total defense in 1997 into a group that led the nation in total defense (236.2 ypg) and led the Big 12 in rushing (89.5 ypg), passing (146.7 ypg) and scoring (13.7 ppg) defense in That came on the heels of a pair of seasons that saw UT rank sixth nationally in total defense (286.7 ypg) in 1999 and seventh (278.3 ypg) in The 2008 defense also led the Big 12 in total defense, scoring defense and rushing defense (third NCAA), while the 2009 unit led the nation in rushing defense (72.4 ypg) and was third in total defense (251.9/first Big 12). In 2011, Texas again led the Big 12 almost every major statistical category including total defense (306.1 ypg)/11th NCAA), rushing defense (96.2 ypg/sixth NCAA), pass efficiency defense (111.0/10th NCAA) and pass defense (209.9 ypg), while finishing second in scoring defense by just.15 points per game. Texas has led the Big 12 in scoring defense three times, in total defense seven times and four of the last five years, and rushing defense seven times and five of the last seven seasons. The aggressive defensive style of the Brown era has seen the Horns significantly increase their production in sacks, tackles for loss and turnovers forced in the last 15 seasons, leading the Big 12 in both of those categories in In 2008, Texas led the nation in sacks and then tied for second in 2009, a year it also led the nation in turnovers gained and interceptions. On offense, the Longhorns have set 137 school records and featured the school s only 3,000-yard passers (Colt McCoy, 2007, 08, 09/Vince Young, 2005/Chris Simms, 2002/Major Applewhite, 1999), 2,000-yard rusher (Ricky Williams, 1998), 1,000- yard receivers (Quan Cosby, 2008/Jordan Shipley, 2008, 09/Roy Williams, 2002, 03/ Kwame Cavil, 1999/ Wane McGarity, 1998) and 1,000-yard passer/rusher (Vince Young, 2004 and 05) in a season.

I know that these parents, when they meet Coach Brown, don t have any question that their son is going to be guided, molded and led in a way that they ll be proud of.

Mack Brown joined John Robinson (USC) and Dan McCarney (Iowa State) as the only head coaches in NCAA Division I-A history who have coached a 3,000-yard passer (Colt McCoy / Vince Young 2005 / Chris Simms, 2002 / Major Applewhite, 1999), 2,000-yard rusher (Ricky Williams, 1998) and 1,000-yard receiver (Roy Williams, 2002, 2003 / Kwame Cavil, 1999 / Wane McGarity, 1998). first duo in school history and just the 11th in NCAA history to each have 85-plus catches and 1,000-plus receiving yards in the same season. UT became just the second team in NCAA Division I-A history to boast a 2,000-yard rusher and passer as well as a 1,000-yard receiver in In his career at Texas alone, Brown became one of just three head coaches in NCAA Division I-A history to lead a player to a 3,000- yard passing season, a 2,000-yard rushing season and a 1,000-yard receiving season. Texas also has re-established its home field advantage and, as a result, dominance under Brown. In his 15 seasons, the Longhorns have increased their season ticket sales by nearly 45,000, up to a school-best 84,071 in 2010, and set school attendance records while playing in front of sellout crowds in 73 of the last 78 home games and have attracted the top 10 crowds in UT history. With a full house on hand the past 15 seasons, UT has gone in games at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, including a mark in Big 12 home games. At one point, UT had a streak of 21 consecutive victories (third-longest in UT history) and the longest for UT since it won 42 straight from (No. 6 in NCAA history). The Longhorns also set the marks for the Big 12 s longest intraconference winning streak (21 games) and the longest intraconference road winning streak (13). Texas has lost only 13 road games in Mack Brown s 15-year tenure with two of them coming in his first three games at UT. The Longhorns have won 51 of their last 59 true road games. The only losses during that stretch were a shootout at Texas Tech in 2002, a defeat at Kansas State in 2006, a loss at Texas A&M in 2007, a loss with one second remaining at No. 7 Texas Tech in 2008, a loss to KSU in 2010, a 17-5 defeat at Missouri and a setback at Baylor in 2011, and a loss to Kansas State to end In 15 seasons under Mack Brown, Texas has 4 Won its first National Championship since Won three BCS bowls and appeared in two National Championship Games 4 Posted 12 consecutive seasons of at least nine wins at UT for the first time in school history 4 Recorded at least 10 wins for nine straight seasons (second-longest streak in NCAA history) 4 Established itself as the only team nationally to win at least nine games from Earned or shared six Big 12 South Division titles and won two conference titles 4 Posted 10 straight Top 13 finishes for the first time in UT history 4 Featured a Heisman Trophy winner, 52 All-Americans, 71 first-team All-Big 12 selections, five Big 12 Defensive Players of the Year, five Big 12 Offensive Players of the Year and 11 Big 12 Freshman of the Year honorees 4 Featured the only 3,000-yard passers, 2,000-yard rusher, 1,000-yard receivers and 1,000-yard passer/rusher in same season in school history the 2012 regular season. The Horns set a UT-record streak with 17 consecutive road wins before falling to Kansas State in UT also won 12 consecutive road games from Texas is (.813) overall on the road and 44-7 (.863) versus unranked road foes during the Mack Brown era. In fact, UT is currently riding a school-record non-conference road winning streak of 13, which betters the previous mark of seven from Texas has won 38 of its last 46 Big 12 Conference road games, including a league-record 13 consecutive conference road wins from The Horns are (.808) in league road contests under Mack Brown. Brown s on-the-field success has had an impact on the student-athletes future opportunities as well. As of the 2013 NFL Draft, two of his Longhorns have been selected in the first round in six of the past 13 drafts. When OT Mike Williams (Buffalo Bills) and CB Quentin Jammer (San Diego Chargers) were selected fourth and fifth, respectively, in 2002, it marked the first time in UT history that two Longhorns were chosen among the first five overall picks. Brown s Longhorns featured a pair of first-round picks in 2004 when Roy Williams (seventh pick) was taken by the Detroit Lions and Marcus Tubbs was 97

4 Head Coach Mack s like the Darrell Royal of the 21st century. He s hard-working and has great concern for his athletes. The coaches and players work hard and support one another and that s exactly how Coach Royal ran things. Jerry Sisemore, former UT All-American and NFL All-Pro offensive tackle selected by the Seattle Seahawks (23rd pick). The 2005 NFL Draft had Longhorns Cedric Benson (fourth pick) and Derrick Johnson (15th pick) in the first round. In the 2006 NFL Draft, Vince Young (third pick) and Michael Huff (seventh pick) were both first-round choices, and in 2007, Michael Griffin (19th pick) and Aaron Ross (20th pick) were selected in the opening round. UT had four players selected in the first two rounds of the 2007 Draft with Justin Blalock and Tim Crowder chosen in the second round following Griffin and Ross. That marked the most Longhorns chosen in the first two rounds since Three members of his 1997 Carolina squad were picked in the first round of the 1998 NFL Draft, which tied for the most of any collegiate program. In the 29 drafts during Brown s time as a head coach, the NFL has picked 108 of his student-athletes, and he has had a player selected in 28 straight drafts. He has had 20 players (16 from UT/four from UNC) selected in the first round in the last 16 drafts, including most recently, S Kenny Vaccaro as the 15th overall pick by the New Orleans Saints in Over the past 16 years, Brown has had 71 players selected in the draft with 55 (77.5%) of those coming in the first four rounds. With all of the success on the field, the primary emphasis has remained the same with Brown s squads maintaining a high level of achievement in the classroom and in the community. Eighty percent of his players at North Carolina received their degrees and he has increased the pace at Texas, while more than a third of his players at Texas have regularly earned 3.0 grade point averages and achieved spots on the Big 12 Commissioner s and Athletics Director s honor rolls. Over the last seven years, the success in the classroom has reached an all-time high. The Longhorns have led the Big 12 in academic all-conference selections in five of the last seven seasons, and in three of those have had equal or more first-team selections than all but two Big 12 schools have had total selections. In 2010, DE Sam Acho became Texas second winner of the Campbell Trophy, which has been likened to an academic Heisman. Acho also became the seventh Longhorn to be named two-time first-team Academic All-America. Texas registered two first-team academic All-America honorees in Acho and OT Adam Ulatoski in 2009, after having also done so in 2007 with C Dallas Griffin and DT Derek Lokey. Griffin went on to earn UT s first Campbell Trophy, which at the time was named the Draddy Trophy. QB Colt McCoy was a finalist for that award in 2009 and recognized as a National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete, as were Griffin and Acho. In 2008, RB Chris Ogbonnaya also earned second-team academic All-America honors. Alongside academics, Brown s life skills program features numerous seminars to prepare student-athletes for life after football, while Longhorns players make countless visits to area children s hospitals and serve as tutors and mentors at schools across Austin. Never has that been as evident as the last two years with Acho, who was named the 2010 Wuerffel Trophy winner for all-around excellence, and the 2010 ARA Sportsmanship Award winner, along with being selected as a member of the AFCA Good Works Team. Emmanuel Acho then joined his brother as back-to-back honores on the Good Works Team, giving Texas four in the last seven years along with Vince Young and Colt McCoy. Nate Boyer was also named the 2012 Disney Spirit Award winner as the most inspirational player in college football, and earned the FWAA Armed Services Award. On the field, Brown has led the Longhorns to one of the best records in the nation during his tenure, posting a mark (.777) over 15 seasons, including NCAA S WINNINGEST COACHES last 17 years 1. MACK BROWN, TEXAS/N. CAROLINA Frank Beamer, Virginia Tech a 9-4 record in 2012, which was capped with an Alamo Bowl win over Oregon State. The team continued to progress on offense behind more experienced quarterback play, finishing 23rd in the nation in scoring with 35.7 points per game. Sophomore QB David Ash ranked 21st in the nation in passing efficiency. On defense, the Longhorns led the Big 12 in both sacks and TFL, while ranking 36th in pass defense (212.0 ypg) in a Big 12 conference that boasted five of the top 10 passing offenses in the country. Safety Kenny Vaccaro earned All-America honors from Pro Football Weekly, while DE Alex Okafor earned the CFPA Elite Defensive Lineman Trophy. Despite an offense filled mostly with freshmen and sophomore starters, Brown took the 2011 team to an 8-5 record, capped by a win in the Holiday Bowl. The defense led the Big 12 in total defense, pass defense and rush defense, while DE Alex Okafor earned All-America honors from the AFCA, CB Quandre Diggs was the Coaches Big 12 Freshman Defensive Player of the Year and a CBSSports.com Freshman All-American, RB Malcolm Brown was selected the Associated Press Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and RB/KR Fozzy Whittaker was named CFPA Kick Returer of the Year. Even though Texas had a difficult 5-7 season in 2010, the Longhorns still ranked sixth in the nation in total defense (300.2 ypg) and pass defense (161.6 ypg), while Acho, in addition to winning the Campbell Trophy, Wuerffel Trophy and ARA Sportsmanship Award, was also named second-team All-America by the Walter Camp Football Foundation and third-team All-America by the Associated Press. He was also named CFPA Defensive Lineman of the Year, was a finalist for the Lott Trophy, a semifinalist for the Lombardi Award and was a unanimous first-team All-Big 12 selection. In addition to Acho, junior LB Keenan Robinson was a semifinalist for the Butkus Award. Brown guided the 2009 Longhorns to Texas second National Championship Game appearance in five years and also matched the school record of 13 wins. The lone loss came in the title game to No. 1 Alabama after QB Colt McCoy was injured on the first series and did not return.

5 Mack Brown Mack has done a great job recruiting with the high school coaches, with the people on campus and the Longhorns lettermen. They are very proud that Mack Brown is the coach here, and for them to be in full support of his coaching abilities, is a tribute to him. I feel exactly the same way because he has done a marvelous job and the best is yet to come. Spike Dykes, former UT assistant coach and the winningest head coach in Texas Tech history with the ball with just over three minutes remaining, and following the game, the polls kept the Longhorns ranked No. 2 their fourth Top Five ranking in six years. They also completed their ninth-consecutive 10-win season, which is the secondlongest streak in NCAA history. The Texas offense ranked third in scoring (39.3 ppg) and 22nd in passing offense (273.6 ypg), while the defense led the nation in rushing defense (72.4 ypg), was third in total defense (251.9 ypg) and 12th in scoring defense (16.7 ppg), along with leading the nation in turnovers gained and interceptions, and ranking in the top 10 in sacks, TFL and pass efficiency defense. McCoy became UT s 20th unanimous All-American and won the Maxwell Award, Walter Camp Football Foundation National Player of the Year Award, Davey O Brien Award, Manning Award and Unitas Golden Arm Award. He also became a two-time finalist for the Heisman Trophy. WR Jordan Shipley was a consensus All-America honoree and a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award, while S Earl Thomas also earned consensus All-America honors and was a finalist for the Thorpe Award. Meanwhile, DE/LB Sergio Kindle became the first player in college football history to be named a finalist for both the Butkus Award and Hendricks Award, and also was named first-team All-America, along with C Chris Hall who was a finalist for the Rimington Trophy. In addition, K Hunter Lawrence was a semifinalist for the Groza Award and DE Sam Acho was a semifinalist for the Lott Trophy. Texas entered the 2008 season with less media acclaim than previous seasons, but by mid-season, a win over No. 1 Oklahoma propelled the team to its own No. 1 ranking. It marked the first regular-season No. 1 ranking for the program since Oct. 8, 1984, and began the toughest four-game stretch in the history of college football where the Longhorns would face a team ranked in the Top 11 in every game. The team finished within one second of completing the gauntlet before falling at No. 7 Texas Tech on the last play from scrimmage. Despite the difficult loss, the team rebounded to win all of its remaining games, capped by a thrilling win over No. 10 Ohio State in the Fiesta Bowl, providing Texas a school-record fifth-consecutive bowl win, including three BCS bowls. The Longhorns finished the season ranked No. 4 in the AP poll and No. 3 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. On offense, Texas averaged 42.4 points per game (fifth NCAA), total yards (ninth NCAA) and passing yards (seventh NCAA), led by McCoy, who set the NCAA single-season record for completion percentage (77.6). McCoy earned firstteam All-America honors and was named the Walter Camp Football Foundation Player of the Year and runner-up for the Heisman Trophy. On defense, Texas led the nation in sacks and led the Big 12 in scoring defense (18.8 ppg), total defense (342.9 ypg) and rushing defense (83.5 ypg/third NCAA). DE Brian Orakpo became UT s 19th unanimous All-American and won the Nagurski Trophy, Lombardi Award and Hendricks Award. Shipley also earned third-team All-America honors, while WR Quan Cosby was a semifinalist for the Biletnikoff Award. In 2007, the Longhorns capped their seventh consecutive 10-win season with a Holiday Bowl victory over No. 12 Arizona State, while also securing their fourth bowl win in consecutive years, a UT first. The Longhorns finished the season with a No. 10 national ranking in both polls, marking the fifth time in seven seasons they had finished in the Top 10. Along with Dallas Griffin winning the Draddy Trophy and the two academic All-Americans, OT Tony Hills earned first-team All-America honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation, RB Jamaal Charles was named a semifinalist for the Doak Walker Award, S Marcus Griffin earned All-America honors from ESPN.com and DT Frank Okam was named third-team All-America by The Associated Press. Texas finished in the top 20 in both rushing defense (6th/93.4 ypg) and rushing offense (17th/207.5 ypg), while also finishing in the top 20 in total offense (13th/462.9 ypg) and scoring offense (14th/37.2 ppg). The 2006 Longhorn season continued the validation of a premier football program that had achieved back-to-back Rose Bowl victories, including the BCS National Championship. Ranked No. 2 in the country as defending National Champions, Texas lost to No. 1 Ohio State in the second game of the year, but fought their way back to a No. 4 national ranking before an injury to McCoy helped lead to narrow losses in the final two games of the regular season. Still, they bounced back with a come-from-behind victory over Iowa in the Alamo Bowl to earn a 10-3 record. The season included victories over both Oklahoma and Nebraska, the two teams that played for the Big 12 championship, after the Longhorns late season losses. Cornerback Aaron Ross won the Thorpe Award as the nation s top defensive back, and offensive lineman Justin Blalock was a finalist for both the Outland Trophy and the Lombardi Award. Ross and Blalock earned first-team All-America honors, while Hendricks Award finalist Tim Crowder and Lott Trophy semifinalist Michael Griffin were recognized as second-team All-Americans. McCoy, a redshirt freshman, earned National Freshman of the Year honors as he tied an NCAA record with 29 touchdown passes. Brown had the most successful season of his career in 2005, leading Texas to its first National Championship since Texas made a return trip to the Rose Bowl for its first appearance in the BCS National Championship game, where the Longhorns ended USC s 34-game winning streak and extended their own winning streak to 20 with a victory. The team was led by Maxwell Award winner Vince Young. Young, who was also the Heisman runner-up and Davey O Brien and Manning Award winner, finished his career as Texas all-time winningest quarterback with a 30-2 record. Texas offense set UT records in points scored (652) and total yards (6,657), while ranking first in the nation in scoring (50.2 ppg), second in rushing (274.9 ypg) and third in total offense (512.1 ypg). Texas was also highly ranked on defense. Led by UT s first-ever Thorpe Award winner Michael Huff, the Longhorns finished sixth in scoring defense (16.4 ppg) and 10th in total defense (302.9 ypg). In 2004, the Longhorns managed their fourth consecutive 10-win season, while defeating six teams ranked in either the AP Poll or ESPN/USA Today Poll. It was also their third 11-win season in MACK S MILESTONE With a victory against Texas A&M in 2008, Mack Brown became the first head coach in UT history to reach the 200-victory plateau ( /.668) during a career. Brown became just the 19th coach, who has spent at least 10 years at a NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) school, to win 200 games and the seventh-youngest coach to do so. He also is one of only four active coaches, who have spent at least five years at an FBS school, to reach the 200-victory mark. In addition, Brown is one of only six active coaches at FBS schools who have won 100 games at their current school (149-43/.776). Of the coaches who have ever won 100 games at a FBS school, Brown is the 12th fastest to reach the century mark (124 games) and the fourth-fastest among active coaches.

6 Head Coach four years and was capped with Texas first BCS selection and a Rose Bowl Championship over No. 13 Michigan. UT was led by All-Americans on both sides of the ball in senior RB and Doak Walker Award winner Cedric Benson and senior LB, Nagurski Trophy winner and Butkus Award winner Derrick Johnson. Behind Benson, the offense ranked second nationally in rushing offense (299.2 ypg), seventh in total offense (464.4 ypg) and 12th in scoring offense (35.3 ppg). The Longhorns rushed for over 300 yards six times, the most since 1977, and put up at least 400 yards in nine of 12 games. With Johnson taking the lead, the defense ranked 18th nationally in scoring defense (17.9 ppg), 16th in rushing defense (107.4) and 32nd in turnover margin (+5). They held teams to 14 points or less on six different occasions. Under his guidance in 2003, Texas rallied from a 4-2 start to post six straight victories and finished with a 10-3 record and No. 12 national ranking. The Longhorns were led by a balanced offense and defense that was one of only four programs nationally that ranked among the NCAA s top 25 in total offense and total defense. Texas averaged rushing yards per game (8th NCAA) and produced its most yards on the ground (3,023) since It also averaged passing yards per game to mark just the third time in school history that the Horns averaged 200 yards rushing and passing in the same season. Led by its first-ever Butkus Award finalist and consensus first-team All-American, LB Derrick Johnson, UT s defense ranked 25th nationally allowing yards per game. Brown s 2002 squad found itself once-again mentioned among the national title contenders until late in the season. With an 11-2 record and a No. 6 final ranking, the Horns posted back-to-back 11-win seasons for the first time in school history and consecutive Top 10 finishes for the first time since Texas capped the year with a victory over LSU in the Cotton Bowl. The Longhorns also won or shared the Big 12 South title for the third time in the last four seasons. Led by first-team All-American and Lombardi Trophy finalist DE Cory Redding and first-team All-Big 12 performers LB Derrick Johnson and CB Rod Babers, the Texas defense finished ranked among the nation s top 16 for the fourth straight year. On offense, QB Chris Simms and WR Roy Williams had record-setting years and RB Cedric Benson posted a second straight 1,000-yard rushing season. Williams and consensus first-team All-American OL Derrick Dockery both earned first-team All-Big 12 honors as the Horns averaged 33.8 points per game (16th NCAA). In 2001, Brown saw his efforts in rebuilding the UT program into a national power reach new heights and provide promising hope for the future. The Longhorns came within three points of a possible berth in the National Championship game for the first time in decades. Texas opened the season with its first preseason Top Five ranking since 1983 and with wins in its final six games, claimed the Big 12 South title for the second time. The Horns were ranked among the nation s Top 10 in 16 of the 17 polls in 2001 and only a narrow defeat at the hands of No. 9 Colorado in the Big 12 Championship game prevented Brown s team from likely playing for the national title. With a victory against No. 21 Washington in the Holiday Bowl, Texas posted a school record-tying 11 victories (11-2) for the first time since 83 and just the fifth time in school history. The win also secured the program s first Top 10 finish since that year. Led by unanimous first-team All-American and UT s first-ever Thorpe Award finalist CB Quentin Jammer and All-Americans LB D.D. Lewis and Redding, the Longhorns topped the nation in total defense (236.2 ypg). Jammer, the first Longhorns defender since Jerry Gray in 1984 to earn unanimous first-team All- America honors, and Lewis shared team MVP honors. The Longhorns were one of MACK BROWN AND THE NFL DRAFT (AS OF THE 2013 NFL DRAFT) 4 Dating back to 1986 when he was the head coach at Tulane, Mack Brown has had a player selected in 28 straight NFL Drafts.

He s a player s coach. He gets very involved with practice and really likes being around the guys. He knows his stuff and works you hard, but no matter what is going on in your life, he s a guy you can talk to. Quentin Jammer, Longhorns All-American cornerback and 2002 NFL first-round draft pick only two teams nationally that ranked among the NCAA s top 10 in all five major statistical categories. True freshman LB Derrick Johnson was tabbed The Sporting News Freshman of the Year and named the Holiday Bowl Defensive MVP. Offensively, Texas balanced attack was led by a passing game that posted, at the time, the fourth-most yards (3,003) on UT record and a scoring attack that ranked first in the Big 12 and sixth nationally (39.2 ppg). OT Mike Williams earned first-team All-America honors and was joined by WR Roy Williams as first-team All-Big 12. True freshman RB Cedric Benson set freshman records for rushing yards (1,053) and rushing TDs (12) en route to Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year honors. In 2000, Brown s youthful Longhorns overcame a pair of tough losses as well as injuries that sidelined its first, second and third-string tight ends and slowed its All- America candidate at defensive tackle Shaun Rogers. Despite starting as many as five true freshmen and featuring a 44-man depth chart that included 36 underclassmen, UT rallied from a 3-2 start to run off six consecutive victories. UT lost a shootout with No. 8 Oregon in the Holiday Bowl and closed out the year with a 9-3 record (7-1, Big 12) and a final No. 12 national ranking, its best finish in the polls since Texas explosive offense ranked 14th nationally in total offense (439.0 ypg) and eighth in scoring (38.6 ppg.). RB Hodges Mitchell, a first-team All-Big 12 choice for a second consecutive year, led the way. Mitchell rushed for 1,118 yards, and for the second year in a row, he established himself as the only player in UT history to gain 1,000 rushing and 300 receiving yards in a season. His path was paved by consensus first-team All-American and Outland Trophy finalist OT Leonard Davis. With the loss of nearly every pass catcher from 1999, the greatest challenge Brown and his offensive staff faced in 2000 was honing the skills of a stable of young wide receivers. That project was a success as true freshmen B.J. Johnson and Roy Williams rewrote the Longhorns record books while each earned second-team Freshman All-America honors. Texas revitalized defense was led by two-time first-team All-American and Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year DT Casey Hampton. An Outland Trophy semifinalist and first-team All-America in 1999, Hampton became the first lineman in UT history to lead the team in tackles in back-to-back seasons and finished his career then ranked second on UT s all-time tackles for loss list (54). He was joined by Jammer on the firstteam All-Big 12 unit, as Texas led the nation in pass efficiency defense (88.3 rating) and ranked seventh in total defense (278.3 ypg). Despite the loss of Heisman Trophy winner Ricky Williams, All-Big 12 wide receiver Wane McGarity and four starters from a veteran offensive line, Brown s 1999 squad registered a 9-5 record and claimed the Big 12 South Division Championship. The offense set a school record with 3,580 passing yards and registered the secondmost total yards in school annals (5,336). Defensively, UT began its climb back among the nation s best, ranking sixth in total defense (286.7 ypg).

Sophomore quarterback Major Applewhite set UT marks with 3,357 passing yards and 21 TDs while earning co-big 12 Offensive Player of the Year recognition. Mitchell became the first back in UT history to rush for 1,000 yards and record 300 receiving yards en route to first-team All-Big 12 honors and earned a spot among the Dr Pepper Doak Walker Award semifinalists. OG Roger Roesler earned first-team All-Big 12 recognition and third-team All-America honors. DE Aaron Humphrey, who posted 20 sacks in his two years under Brown and finished his career then ranked third on UT s all-time TFLs list (50.5), also ranked eighth on the Longhorns all-time sack chart (24.5) and earned Longhorns MVP honors in DE Cedric Woodard, a 2000 NFL Draft pick of the Baltimore Ravens, had 19 TFLs in 1999 and 40 for his career (No. 8 on UT s all-time list at the time). In 1998, running back Ricky Williams ran away with virtually every major college football award. Williams claimed the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, Walter Camp and Associated Press Player of the Year honors and the Dr Pepper Doak Walker Award as Texas rebounded from a 4-7 season to finish 9-3 and ranked 15th nationally. After starting the year with a 1-2 record, the Longhorns won six consecutive games and eight of their final nine contests, including snapping No. 7 Nebraska s 47-game home winning streak with a victory. Brown s first UT team capped the year with a victory against No. 25 Mississippi State in the Cotton Bowl, the Longhorns first New Year s Day bowl victory since Williams led the nation in rushing with a school-best 2,124 yards and set a school record with 28 rushing TDs. The Longhorns tallied the fourth-most yards of offense in school history (5,177) at the time. WR Wane McGarity, TE Derek Lewis and offensive linemen Ben Adams and Jay Humphrey all earned first-team All-Big 12 honors for an offense that was among the best in UT history. Adams and Humphrey also were tabbed first-team All-American. Defensively, the youthful Longhorns featured a predominantly underclassmen unit but re-established themselves after ranking 85th in total defense (399.2 ypg) and 104th in scoring defense (33 ppg) in Born in Cookeville, Tenn., Brown was a three-sport star at Putnam County High School, where he lettered three times in football. He went on to attend Vanderbilt ( ) and graduated from Florida State. He lettered twice as a running back for the Seminoles ( ). An injury sidelined him for much of the 1973 season and that led to the start of his coaching career as he became a student coach. He completed his bachelor s degree in education in Brown began his full-time coaching career in 1975 at Southern Mississippi, where he worked with the receivers for three seasons. He earned a master s degree in administration from Southern Miss in Brown then coached the wide receivers at Memphis State in 1978 and at Iowa State in 79. He was promoted to offensive coordinator at Iowa State in 1980, and in his time at Ames, the Cyclones broke 17 school and Big Eight Conference offensive records and produced league leaders in rushing and total offense. Brown went on to lead the quarterbacks at LSU in 1982, when the Tigers went and played Nebraska in the Orange Bowl. In just his 10th season of full-time coaching, Brown had become a head coach, taking over the Appalachian State program in At the age of 32, he directed the Mountaineers to their first winning record in four years with a 6-5 slate. After one season, he left to become offensive coordinator at Oklahoma. In his only year on Barry Switzer s staff, the Sooners were 9-2-1, won the Big Eight title and earned a berth in the Orange Bowl. Brown helped Oklahoma develop its best passing attack in years, as he coached quarterbacks Danny Bradley, a first-team All-Big Eight selection, and Troy Aikman, a three-time Super Bowl Champion signal caller with the Dallas Cowboys. Brown became head coach at Tulane in 1985 and quickly went about rejuvenating the Green Wave s sagging football fortunes. Tulane had suffered three consecutive losing seasons before Brown s arrival, but by his third season in 1987, he led the Green Wave to a 6-5 mark and a berth in the Independence Bowl (just the program s fifth bowl game since 1940). That season, the Green Wave set school records for total offense and points, ranking 11th nationally in scoring (32.5 ppg). That remarkable season earned Brown a spot in the Independence Bowl Hall of Honor in He also served as athletics director his final two years at Tulane. In 1988, Brown took over a North Carolina program that had suffered two losing seasons in its previous three years and three non-winning seasons in its previous four years. While rebuilding the foundation, Brown s Tar Heels squads posted backto-back 1-10 seasons in 1988 and 89. In 1990, Carolina was and the Tar Heels 101

8 Head Coach I have never seen anyone make friends better or quicker with the high school coaching community. Eddie Joseph, former exec. vice president, Texas High School Coaches Association were beginning a run of eight consecutive winning seasons and six straight bowl game appearances. UNC s (.750) record during his last six years ranked as the ninthbest nationally during that period. His final two seasons were the most impressive. He compiled a 20-3 (.870) mark and led the Heels to a No. 4 final ranking in the USA Today/ESPN poll and No. 6 ranking by The AP in At UNC, Brown recruited and coached several of the finest players in school history. From his 1997 squad, DE Greg Ellis (No. 8, Dallas Cowboys), LB Brian Simmons (No. 17, Cincinnati Bengals) and DT Vonnie Holliday (No. 19, Green Bay Packers) earned All-America recognition and were selected among the first 19 picks in the 1998 NFL Draft. Along with that trio of first-rounders, Brown also helped develop several other Tar Heels standouts.

The architect of a defense that led the Denver Broncos to back-toback Super Bowl victories in 1997 and 98, Robinson was Texas codefensive coordinator with Duane Akina, along with being linebackers coach, for the 2004 season. That year, the Longhorns went 11-1 and won their first BCS Bowl and Rose Bowl Championship with a victory over Michigan. Texas held its opponents to yards (23rd NCAA) and 17.9 points per game (18th NCAA), while ranking 16th in rushing defense (107.4 ypg) that season. A veteran of 14 seasons coaching in the NFL, including 10 as a defensive coordinator, Robinson is in his 36th year of coaching either at the NFL or college level. He spent his first 15 seasons as a college coach. Prior to his first stint with Texas, Robinson spent three seasons as the defensive coordinator for the Kansas City Chiefs, where he helped turn around a team that was 7-9 in 2000, the year before he arrived, into a unit that posted the second-best record in Greg Robinson Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers Hometown Los Angeles, Calif. High school Garces (Bakersfield, Calif.) College University of the Pacific 75 Year in coaching 36th Wife Laura Children Dominic, Lindsay and Leslie Ann the NFL in 2003 (13-3). As a defensive coordinator, Robinson s aggressive, attacking Chief s unit produced 70 sacks and forced 68 turnovers (43 interceptions/25 fumble recoveries) in his last two seasons. During that time, Kansas City posted a record. In 2003, Robinson s Chiefs defense produced 36 sacks (T-6th/ AFC), 25 interceptions (2nd AFC/3rd NFL) and forced 37 turnovers (T-3rd AFC/5th NFL). Kansas City led the NFL in turnover margin with a +19 advantage in that category.

He also became UT s co-recruiting coordinator in Chambers took over as the recruiting coordinator just prior to the 2012 Alamo Bowl. Three of the Longhorn RBs and TEs Chambers has worked with are currently in the NFL. In 2012, the Horns rotated four tight ends with D.J. Grant and Barrett Matthews, sophomore Greg Daniels and redshirt freshman M.J. McFarland all seeing significant action. Those four combined for 28 receptions, including four touchdowns, and 12.3 yards per reception. Chambers tight ends combined for 33 receptions for 376 yards and seven touchdowns in Grant and Blaine Irby, returned to action after each missed the 2009 and 2010 seasons with injuries.
