We are absolute trash on every special teams return and coverage team

Mack Brown's special teams varied over the years. His first season, Texas lost at home to NC State when the mighty Wolf Pack blocked THREE punts.  A few years later, the Longhorns were doomed in the CCG by a roughing the punter penalty.

As others noted, Brown had superior athletes to overcome poor coaching and bonehead moves by staff and players. A prime example was super athlete Brian Robison, kick blocker without peer.

The Mack Brown special team coaching decision that removed any doubt that Mack Brown was a lousy coach was his decision to attempt a long fake field goal at Nebraska when the Longhorns were leading late in the game. With the FG team on the field, the short punt was fielded and run back for a TD by an NU player who outran the FG unit for the score. There was absolutely no reason for the call and it gave NU an opportunity to get back in the game which Texas had controlled to that point. Even the dipshit commentators were puzzled by that one.

Head coach Charlie Strong said Texas' special team's issues are fixable after the Longhorns had three extra points blocked in the first half of their 49–31 loss to Oklahoma State.
