FILE - In this Dec. 15, 2013 file photo Mack Brown speaks during a news conference at the University of Texas in Austin, Texas. Brown had his an Oklahoma problem when he was coach at Texas. By then the Big Eight had morphed into the Big 12 and the Longhorns and Sooners were playing for pole position in the Big 12 South every October. Texas lost five straight to the Bob Stoops’ Sooners from 2000-04, while going 52-6 against everybody else. Some of college football’s most successful coaches have been labeled with the dreaded ‘Can’t win the big one’ tag because of a string of failures against rivals. Coming up short in the game that matters most to your fans can tempt a coach to question everything _ from his Xs and Os to his Jimmys and Joes. (AP Photo/Jack Plunkett)
