Former Texas coach Mack Brown comments on Texas A&M women’s clinic controversy
Published:
Last Friday, Texas A&M made headlines for a controversial presentation during its annual women’s football clinic that has been deemed extremely sexist by many.
The presentation, which can be seen here, was produced by a pair of Aggie assistants — both of whom are now suspended.
On Monday, former Texas coach and current ESPN analyst Mack Brown joined The Paul Finebaum Show to discuss the matter. One could say he’s a little upset about the pressing issue:

More from the Longhorn legend:
We had 30 years of them, and [they’re] supposed to be a positive upbeat — more like a pep rally to talk football and get ready for the season. …
It’s just inappropriate. Coaches across the country — and men — are trying to teach young players to be appropriate with their behavior towards women. This is an awful message. …
These guys got suspended, but to me, they need counseling. They need to get some help to make sure they do a better job in their personal lives, so the players will learn better from them how to treat ladies.
Brown also subtly pointed out Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin’s hot seat struggles after one of the more forgettable offseasons in program history, calling the incident a “distraction that Kevin [Sumlin] didn’t need.”
