Report: Texas will not fire Strong during season

[ralphiewvu]

Gladly take Charlie back in Louisville if he is fired by UT & Petrino takes a bigger job.

What the hell does that say about coaching Louisville??

A halfway house job?

Ha, we've only known Bobby & Charlie going back 14 years. Pretty happy with both.

They have been great with ya guys no doubt. But when do you say enough is enough and stop having them treat you like a guy put in the friend zone.

I love Louisville but even I'm also not dumb enough to turn down Texas or Louisville money. Also have to consider the Cards were a Big East team back when.

I understand, but Louisville doesn't have to keep welcoming them back.

I fear the unknown if Petrino leaves. Then again, Jeff Brohm is only a couple hours away.

We're not total shit and it was in Stillwater where we tend to be pretty dangerous. This is not like UCLA coming into Austin and putting up 60+ pts. Strong could still theoretically get them ten wins and they seemed pretty happy with that since the start of the millennium. Vince Young had to pull off a damn miracle in Stilly.

So he gone, den?

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

I watched quite a bit of the UT/OSU game -- what was absolutely glaring about Texas on defense is -- they were horrendous at tackling. Is that the norm or did they have an off game?

With an exception or two, we don't tackle anymore in Texas. Someone might get hurt if we tackle.

 

[Inquisitor95]

If an ideal candidate emerges whenever, they will probably move to get rid of Strong regardless of whether it is before or after the season ends.

Well it ain't like they'll have trouble coming up with $10 million when they pass the hat.

I honestly was shocked watching the game. I know UT gets some big time recruits, but these guys were flailing at guys running by them or just not wrapping up. It wasn't one guy either -- it seemed like it was all of them. If they completed a pass -- the OSU guy seemed to gain about 10, 15, 20 yards after the catch.

It not losing to OSU that is an issue. It is how they are losing. It one thing if your QB was unconscious and WRs were making circus catches, but that is not what happened. The secondary is a disaster. Defensive coach struggling to find an offense early in his tenure is understandable, but getting blindsided in your core competency is just bad

THE COACH IS NEAR?

 

[Heatles84]

We're heading for 7-5, and that's if the players don't give up and no injuries. Not sure that will be good enough for him to keep his job. He's done a good job turning the offense around in 3 years, but the defense is just flat ass horrible. It should be interesting.

It's pretty telling how bad his defense is, particularly considering that's his side of the ball in terms of expertise.

Like the Texas job?

 

[GoldRusher]

If OU breaks it off in them, Texas will fire Charlie at the end of the year imo.

 

[NY7]

Like the Texas job?

That thought has crossed my mind. The only think against Bobby would be his past transgressions. The man has a weakness when it comes to the NFL and vagina. Lots of hot vagina in Austin too.

Fire a long tenured coach after a 2-3 season slump.
Hire a coach from a good program and a winning history.
New coach runs program into the ground.
Deja Vu.
