On the other hand, the University of Houston wants to give Tom Herman a 100% raise to 3 million and the season is not even over yet?
How about John Saunders who when we fired Willingham accused us of being racist, then he failed even worse at UW was silent.
The thing about Strong is, he won and won big at Louisville before coming to Texas. Texas was a hot bowl of poo soup at the end of Mack's run. I don't think that can be denied. Worse, you guys reminded me of the ND teams early in Lou's career where he was loaded with 1 position, but totally devoid of talent at another. I'd give Strong at least 1 more year to turn it around. You guys weren't setting the world on fire, and you were clearly on the slide. I just don't think you realized how bad of a slide it would be. Can you imagine if Mack was still in charge? I don't know, maybe it's a bad match... but I do predict Charlie Strong will have success somewhere else if you let him go.
Seriously, this is kind of like Florida the last couple of years...what happened to all of the talent that Texas recruits every year. Top ranked recruiting classes but consistently poor performance on the field??? Is it the wrong type of talent for the new coach's scheme? Maybe Strong just needs to get his recruits in the starting lineup and to gel. :?
KP, You ask an interesting question. Texas is done recruiting so early every year. Then I see all these Texas QB's doing well at other schools, sometimes not in the state of Texas, meanwhile Texas has some mediocre to bad QBs. Maybe they need to really evaluate the kid instead of the stars beside his name.
After watching the Eagles play yesterday (they played the locals, Tamp Bay Bucs) it might be that Chip Kelly is headed out of the City of Brotherly Love. His NCAA exile is over, I think and there are a lot of openings.
No doubt Chip Kelly is going to be a popular coach for college teams. But he's making 6.5 million with the Eagles and just last year got the owner to grant him total control of the players side of the franchise, no being overruled by a GM.
