Mullins to Texas!*

Reading the Scoop. Tejas not high on Herman....might be looking elsewhere

Herman has multiple offers....house $...LSU...not good for us

I don't know what Texas is going to do, but my money is on it turning out to be a disaster.

 

[o_Hot Rock]

Strong to State as DC? One year? Two or Three?

 

[Salty Sands Dawg]

And just like our situation, how is that worse than where they are now?

It wouldn't surprise me in the least bit if thet whiff on a few... and make an offer to Mullen.

Strong is a good Head Coach. Texas was a horrible fit

The Texas Longhorns Head Coaching job is the kind of job needed for one of two types:

-The Mack Brown Type- Politician, glad-handing, loves the rubber-chicken circuit, keeps everybody happy.

-The Nick Saban Type- Total authoritarian, keeps the children (aka Boosters) in line. Don't forget that the Alabama football program was a dumpster fire before Nick Saban took over. You had "Birmingham factions" and "Texas factions". Basically, Saban came in and told them to shut up, follow him, or get the hell out.

Charlie Strong is neither. I could've told you from the day he was hired he wouldn't make it. If he had any hair, it would probably be falling out right now. He's an excellent football coach and a superb recruiter, but he's just not someone who wants to spend any time with the Boosters. If you want to see what kind of program he can build, see what he did at Louisville.

If, for some reason, Dan Mullen were to leave and Strong was available, I'd take him in a heartbeat.

Yes, this is a Texas problem not a Strong problem. It's like Ole Miss with oil money instead of phonebook lawyer money.

More like Ole Miss with Railroad and Cattle money. Texas A&M is Mississippi State with Oil Money.

 

[Indndawg]

Me too Mutt. I blv he recruited Teddy Bridgewater and had him developed

 

[gymdawg.sixpack]

Id take strong if some scenario allows

 

[RightOfCenter]

A coach would have to be a special kind of crazy to take that job. When Saban was rumored to be a target last time, Herb street said no way. He said the BS with just the Longhorns network would drive Saban crazy.

This can't be true. Just the other day he got an extension.

Sort of hoping you're right on this one.
