Charlie Strong on hot seat?

Bottom Line, , HE was on the hot seat when he got there...Thoes white tycons at Texas didn't want to see a black man leading probably the most powerful College team in the nation..
if this was a white coach I doubt with a young team and 2-2 record with a chance to win conference with Fresh and sophomores your hearing this,,.
Then to make matters worst, you have A white coach 100miles away making Houston look unbeatable

Man cut the BS with the blame the man bit. If you don't produce at Texas you're going to get fired, it's that simple.

Where is the BS in what i said?? Is all true, He's had two top 10 recruiting classes, an Texas is 2-2 right at 500 with a chance to win the big 12 for the first time since 09 an go to a major bowl with a team full of Freshman and sophomores so how is he getting good his job threaten????

I'm a Longhorn fanatic, I know what we as fans and money contributors are saying..An just like said them top dollar hotshots didn't want him there in places place
I wanted Harbaugh or Shaw from standford in the 1st place but since Strong is here give him a chance to finish what he's started,,
 
If he loses to Oklahoma....

They will probably promote Applewhite. Don't think Major wants to go to Texas again as an assistant when he is an alum who probably wants that job himself. Charlie will get calls from other schools if he gets fired. Especially schools like Purdue who will be desperate. LOL.

Believe it or not that was the first school that came to mind. That's the type of P5 job he needs like Louisville was.

You can't be this dense. Which team that's actually good has Texas played this year? The one good team they've played they got run off the field. Only way he secures his job is basically winning out. You do realize that no one they've played is currently ranked, right? Between all of the P5 teams they've played, they've given up 47, 50 and 49 points....to unranked teams. What good are top recruiting classes? Reminds me of Ron Zook at Florida, brought in plenty of talent... did nothing with it. And seriously, in your third year why are you even having a team full of freshmen and sophomores? Could it be the fact that he kicked 12 players off the team 2 years ago? And just as a point of reference, currently, Texas ranks 60th in recruiting. Notable teams ahead of them? #9 Texas A&M, #14 Arizona, #16 Maryland, #18 Mississippi State, #21 Duke, #22 Rutgers, #27 Memphis, #28 Iowa State/Oklahoma State, #33 Houston, #37 NC State, #40 Western Michigan, #48 UCF, #54 Texas Tech, #57 Texas- San Antonio...someone should see a problem with that.

Honestly, it's even worse when you've had two recruiting classes like that with a defense performing the way it is. Alabama has the least experience in the SEC this year. Clemson has the least experience in the ACC. Ohio State has the least experience in all of FBS. Stanford is in the bottom 10... Washington is starting 7 sophomores on offense. And on top of that, Texas was second only to Alabama with most all american freshmen on last year's team..where's the improvement? I just can't make excuses for him, that defense looks awful.

Yes you made very good points and I agree with everything except recruiting..he always does his at the end, last year they were ranked 91 during the season and 33 a day before NSD and ended up 7 or 6 after getting everyone...I also do feel the kids aren't doing hm a lot of justice either along with ppl didn't want him to succed to begin with, but I agree we haven't seen much improvement and he didn't do much to prove them wrong

672 yards of offense....most ever given up by a Texas defense today. Strong isn't surviving this season.
 



In today's sports, we want instant success and don't want to give a coach time to build a program. Plus the alum did not want to hire him in the first place. So he better turn it around quickly or he might not make it to the end of the season!
 
Alabama has 5 stars waiting 3 years to get on the field (see Deshawn Hand). Texas boosters never wanted Strong to begin with. Most of UT's former coaches got at least 5 years. They should give him more time but that won't happen because he was never wanted by the big money donors. They live in a fantasy world where they feel they can get Saban, John Gruden, and ect.

There is no excuse Texas should be trying to play catch up to TAMU, Baylor, TCU and Houston. All those programs right now are better.

Regardless of how the boosters feel about Strong, Texas shouldn't be in this position.

They did it to themselves. They waiting too long to cut the bait with Mack Brown.
 
Mack Brown won 8, 9 and 8 games his last 3 years there. Strong took that same talent and won 5 games, 6 games and who knows what their record will be this year. Why exactly should he get more time? If he wins 5 games this year, he should be kept? I mean I could see the argument if they had decent wins, but Texas is yet to even beat a team with a winning record. And, it took OT to beat a Notre Dame team that's now 2-4 (and gave up 47 points to them). That same Notre Dame team only has wins over Nevada and Syracuse. To be honest, none of their remaining games are gimme wins. Texas is 11th worse in all of college football defensively. I don't really get how people are still saying its because he's black. There's no way people would be saying give him more time if it was their team.
 
TAMU did themselves the biggest favor when they left the Big 12 for the SEC. That move alone elevated TAMU's program over Texas.
