AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas coach Mack Brown said Sunday he’s resigning because his teams haven’t been living up to the winning standard he helped create.
Brown said school President
Bill Powers and athletic director Steve Patterson told him he could stay when the three met Friday.
But after thinking it over further, Brown decided it was time to move on after 16 seasons to let Texas find a new coach.
Ellerson fired
Army fired coach Rich Ellerson after five seasons at West Point and no victories against Navy.
Army athletic director Boo Corrigan said in a statement released by the school that Ellerson was notified that he would not be retained about 24 hours after the Black Knights (3-9) finished the season with a 34-7 loss to Navy.
