🏈 TX AD Perrin attended his 1stpresser (Yahoo reports Strong out as HC end of season)

Oklahoma week or "support" Charlie week...

When he was hired I couldn't see it ending well.

Now, with all the coaching changes over the last few months it looks worse now than it did then. He's starting to shuffle coaches and responsibilities to the degree Tubs did at Auburn.

Doesn't Look Good
Sounds like Goodbye Charlie

Here's some more

It is an ominous sign when the AD comes out and says "we will not fire Charlie Strong during the season"..........
:shock:

I want to be Tom Herman's agent.

Yep, gone after the season. He got a rough deal. They were against him from the start in my eyes. Wonder if Moses had an idea of this and that's why he committed to us, because he did have Texas as his favorite the last time I checked before his announcement to us.

Update on title

Dead man walking! Strong is simply in over his head IMHO. If he didn't have all of the outside shit to deal with that is Texas, he probably could succeed.

Agreed. Guy can obviously coach and can recruit well. I think UT is moving a year too soon. I would imagine the folks in Texas are hell bent on not letting Tom Herman leave the state, hence the departing with Strong after the season. Sucks for Strong, I think he is a good guy. Maybe we can hire him as a defensive analyst. :naughtydevil:

So they'll block Houston from getting into the Big XII and then hire him. Dirty...hope it backfires.

They never excepted him , which set him up for failure from the start, but he definitely has the program in a better place than it was .

Prolly an auto-correct, but a bit ironic because he's definitely been excluded from the TX "inner-circle."

but he definitely has the program in a better place than it was .

Curious. How do you see that? Mack finished his last two years at 17-9. Strong's first two puts him at 11-14. He's 2-2 on the season.

** Just as a side note: Strong earned his rep when he was in the Big East which was certainly NOT a football conference. His first year at TX as Louisville's first year in the ACC. Which leads me to wonder ... put Strong in the ACC with 'Ville, does he have the same rep today? Or, is this a case where moving to a Power 5 school has exposed him for what he really is? A FCS type of head coach or a Power 5 type of coordinator.

Man, I bet his agent's phone has not stopped ringing yet

 

[We All Bleed Crimson]

There are not many coaches who can step into a big job like that and be successful year in and year out. There are many good coaches out there, but it takes a special type of coach to handle jobs with the kind of expectations that the big schools have. I'm thankful that we have the best. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

They know they have act now if they want Herman.

STRONG'S SEAT HEATING UP

Charlie Strong
USA Today Sports
Charlie Strong’s seat is very hot for many reasons, but the biggest is the opening at LSU. Now that the Tigers have parted ways with Les Miles, they are now the leading contender to steal rising star Tom Herman away from the Houston Cougars. But the Longhorns' powers-that-be and big-time boosters know that Herman has been interested in the Texas job from the moment he landed in Houston. It won't be pretty if Texas decides to hang onto Strong through another average season while fans and alumni watch Herman head to the SEC.

Strong needs to beat Oklahoma this weekend, we all know that, but he also needs to nearly run the table and get to nine wins. That would mean his team, which can’t cover or tackle anyone, would have to corral offenses like Baylor and TCU if the Longhorns can somehow get past the Sooners.

A losing season could be in the works here based on what we’ve seen in the last two games. How can Texas truly expect to beat the Sooners, Bears, Horned Frogs or even potent offensive teams like Texas Tech and West Virginia?

Recruiting will be impacted greatly with Texas athletic director Mike Perrin coming out and saying everything will be evaluated. I can’t see any way Strong survives the year and I see Herman as the next coach in Austin, where he will bring a national title back to the Longhorns.

Terry P : I was speaking of their intitlement issues that Mack the allowed in the locker room towards the end . Not the wins and lose column . Sorry , don't know how to quote earlier posts .i gave it a shot and FAILED.... Computer illiterate .

IMO, he's gone but at least UT has the decency to let him finish the season and try to make something out of it (unlike LSU).
