Mack Brown $2.75 million that would have been owed him if he had been fired, and
place him in a one-year, $500,000 job as a special assistant to the president
for athletics. Both options had been part of Browns original contract in
separate clauses in case of termination or resignation. Brown announced on Dec.
14 that he would step down after Texas bowl game and called it a "mutual"
decision between himself, school President Bill Powers and athletic director
Steve Patterson. He has been replaced by Charlie Strong. Brown had reportedly
been negotiating for more money. Texas agreeing to pay Brown his severance
buyout and give him the job raised the question whether he was fired or resigned
and why he would get both options. "He resigned," Texas spokesman Nick Voinis
said. "This is what was agreed to Were honouring his contract." Browns attorney,
Joe Jamail, did not immediately return telephone messages seeking comment. The
University of Texas System Board of Regents, which approved BBrowns contract and
most recently approved an extension in 2012, did not immediately respond to a
request for comment.
Jeff Samardzija Authentic Jersey. Brown was under contract through 2020 and was one of the highest-paid coaches in the
country at more than $5.4 million per year. But the coach who won the 2005
national championship and played for another in 2009 left after a four-year run
that saw the Longhorns lose at least four games every season. The contract
included language that allowed Brown to move to "another significant position
within the university" at a minimum of $500,000 per year if he "voluntarily
relinquishes his duties" as coach. Browns new job will concentrate on
fundraising for the nations wealthiest athletic department. The contract also
had the $2.75 million termination payment if he was fired before Dec. 31, 2014,
to be paid in four equal annual installments. The same section said that if
Brown were fired, left for another program or become otherwise unable to do his
job, "all obligations" under the contract "shall cease."
