Does anyone really know if Dave's buyout is an issue keeping Mack from pulling the trigger? I will happily start a GoFundMe account to help. Let us plebeian fans know, Mack!

Well…it seems folks here do not exactly have a lot of back ground or knowledge of historical information before they post. Yes big shock.
I fairness to Iowabear, who did qualify that he was just stating his opinion. Here is something to know. Mack fired Tony Levine at UH, Herman's successor, after year 3. Levine won 5 games his first year, 8 his second and 7 his 3rd year then out. His track record suggests impatience that looks almost erratic. The kind of guy y'all would love. His history suggest he has no issue firing someone because he hired the person.
Four things come to mind here about Aranda. He really personally likes Aranda and they have become friends, there are financial issues, Mack actually isn't completely in charge and the Pres really likes Aranda. All four things here can be true.
Correct, this is on Linda and her dude.PartyBear said:

The reverberations of firing Briles are coming home in so many ways. One of the big ones is many BMDs who would have given tens of millions to Baylor Football are now giving Baylor the middle finger. I know this is true for some, but I don't really know how many BMDs are left?
The money to bail Mack out might be harder to find than ever.

I'm not sure how they rank, but I think the reasons for reluctance to make a move is all of the above, plus the administration's love affair with Aranda's personality. They really really want it to work, prove they could do it a different way, and it also would cost a pretty penny to scrap the experiment at the end of the year.IowaBear said:
Just my opinion. But I don't believe it's the buyout. It's Mack's incredibly large ego. Firing Dave means he's admitting failure on his end. He put all his eggs in Dave's basket when the whole damm world knew bringing that clown back in 24 was a huge mistake.
