Got to give it to Charlie he played Texas just right

Per OrangeBloods, Strong has informed his assistant coaches that he's being fired.

Everybody just throwing shit out there hoping it lands somewhere

On Jordan Elliott returning for one game...why!!!! He qualifies for a medical waiver (played in 3 games and none in the second half of the season). Would be a huge waste of a year of eligibility to have him come in for this game.

[jeebus]

I'd rather them be friends with their players than fuck children in a shower.

Nothing. By doing nothing they have given Charlie a lifeline. Our administration is headed by incompetent pussies.

The whole situation is embarrassing for everyone involved. At this point, they may feel compelled to keep him if he can win the next two games. Because a loss against TCU would mean ending the season on a low note and an easier decision and a loss to a bowl opponent would also mean ending the season on a low note and an easier decision. But if he wins out then they can at least say he had a winning season...

[pgardn]

This is BS from the Fox article:

Ultimately, I think that was a big part of why you saw a lot of two steps forward, two steps back in Austin, and why a coach the team loves so much couldn't win big fast enough at UT.

Win big fast enough? We are in possibly the worst power 5 conference with talent? What's our conference record? How many conference games have we won big? Anyone who takes the UT job knows the expectations and that they will be given a chance.

Might be thinking too far ahead but I don't think recruiting will take too much of a hit with the loss of Strong and addition of Herman. I think Herman has some ties to some big recruits especially Chaisson the DE of North Shore. We may lose a guy or 2 we currently have and maybe turn off some guys that might have been looking our way but in that same way we open up the eyes of a new set of targets who may not have liked where we were heading with Strong.

Herman is the heavy favorite imo, but Texas' leaders could ruin a wet dream.

I'm not going to assume anything, but a good start would be announcing Charlie is out on Saturday.

I've always liked Dabo Swinney for what he's been able to do for so long at Clemson. Isn't he in a long term contract that will be tough to get out of??

I think Dabo's buyout is about 6 million.

What I'm waiting to see is if Fenves got himself in deep shit by being slow to communicate with Herman's party and doing his best to keep Charlie.

This is seemingly turning in Texas' favor quickly.

As to be expected, 24/7 reporting strong will be fired on Saturday.

I say be patient on the Herman news, lots of crap being thrown out to the media right now. I feel we are still in good shape, even after tonight.

I'll add that the report also says Perrin, Fenves and McRaven have seen a ton of negative reactions from donors and fans this week that they didn't expect when it came to the idea of keeping Strong.

I'm sure the heat was turned up significantly tonight if it wasn't already there.

The adjustments, if any, are horrible.

Patterson is a very good game planning coach. They were taking our receivers one on one the second half and doing a really good job. This leads me to believe our receivers do not understand how to get open. And or Buechele is clearly limited in what he can, or was allowed, to do. All the quick passes to the sidelines become so obvious. As the season wore on we should have become less predictable in throwing the ball. The opposite happened.


We improved a bit on defense then regressed. We had a beast of a running back, so offensively it was nice to have a QB who could at least handle the offense. But the playbook was what one would give to a child.

I want to say its more of a only allowing Buechele to do so many things.

The wide open middle of the field was frustrating.

All you need is a QB who can keep the defenses honest and you score at will with your running game.

Sad really.

[DMX7]

The final price tag is going to be about $10M per season for the three losing seasons and hardly any hope for next season.

I really don't know so I will take any insight on Buechele.

All I know is we are incredibly predictable with a tiny number of plays. That was very apparent these last two games. And Gary Patterson feasts on teams that are limited and predictable.

I went to the game today and sat in the booster end zone in the 15th row - everyone in front of me sat 70% of every snap. Only rarely were any patterns ever run over the middle. It seemed 90-95% of all pass patterns were outs or fly routes, even with two receivers stacked on each side several times. Stadium emptied with 9 mins left. Gilbert either sucks or was totally out of ideas. Strong shit the bed in the second half too.

[TFloss32]

Two things going down tomorrow, per 24/7...

-Strong will be fired.

-Texas leadership intends to interview Tom Herman.

thats what i mean by the wide open middle of the field part.

either gilbert is a shit coach or buechele really a shit qb.

[Vito Corleone]

Neither

Gilbert is a good coach that is baby feeding the offense to Buechele. Shane is a true Freshmen and has loads of talent but he is still a baby at the position on this level. He wasn't give the middle of the field because he isn't experienced enough to make proper throws there. Next year he will be trusted there, but for now you get what he was allowed to do.

Buechele is supposedly injured as well. He's been a noticeably different player for a string of games. Sucks that his backup is a guy they didn't let throw at all this season.

Yes it is. Strong has recruited well but just not coached well. Definitely a situation where Herman can come in and win 9 to 10 games right away.

So, how has Strong recruited? Is this a situation where a new coach can step in and win right away?

Yeah, it really is. The team has talent that is young and now more experienced. There is not excuse for next season for whoever is coach to not having a winning year at minimum.

Depends on attrition. Lot of guys were very committed to Charlie Strong and might want to leave now that he is gone. Charlie recruited well enough to win 10 games this season. It was young but it was talented. Next year Texas will be extremely deep at Oline, WR and have a talented experienced QB. We will be thin at RB.

Our Defense will be really deep and talented at every position. I'm concerned about our corners they are the group that stand the biggest chance of being lost through attrition. If we keep them they are damn good and really deep.

Will be interesting to see what happens moving forward.

Been calling for this for over 2 years. Feels surreal now.

With no real coaching search, lets hope this is the right move.

Just so you know we have followed history to a tee.

Fired very successful coach Fred Akers after first losing season. Fred coached Texas to two national title games. Very similar to how we fired Mack Brown.

Hired David McWilliams a defensive wiz with only one year of head coaching experience. Very similar to how we hired Charlie Strong, another defensive wizard with little head coaching experience. Neither was done with much of a coaching search.

Hired John Mackovic an offensive wizard with almost no true coaching search. About to hire Tom Herman, an offensive wizard with almost no head coaching search.

Time will tell if we get burned again.

If Warren is healthy and back to where he was, there wont be any problems with RB. Not sure what Foreman does.

I don't see there being any more attrition than you would expect in the end.

Hired John Mackovic an offensive wizard with almost no true coaching search. About to hire Tom Herman, an offensive wizard with almost no head coaching search.

Time will tell if we get burned again.
The important thing with Herman is this. He is a fit for the big 12, unlike Strong. Herman also can recruit Houston well and the Golden Triangle. He will put an all star staff around him. I know it's not the same, but think of the effect of Saban taking over at Alabama. It's akin to that.

OrangeBloods saying QB Kyle Allen, who tansferred from A&M to Houston, is on pace for a graduate transfer with two years of eligibility remaining and is expected to follow Herman to UT.

The golden question is if Houston would release Allen to Texas even though he'd be a graduate transfer.

Herman is looking to consider bringing along WR coach Darrel Wyatt and Oscar Giles, am I right? I know many folks were high on Wyatt as a coach and recruiter. Remember us losing a shot on D'Markus Lodge when Strong didn't retain Wyatt.

Perrin's statement to the media after firing Strong:

“Decisions like this are tough to make. The responsibility is not taken lightly. I became friends with Charlie Strong before becoming Athletics Director. I have the utmost personal respect for him. His impact on college athletics and student-athletes should be celebrated. Coach Strong represented The University of Texas with class and dignity, and he demanded our student-athletes do the same by adhering to his system of core values. However, after thorough evaluation, the body of work over three seasons has not shown the improvement we were hoping for. This was an important year for our program to take the next step, and the results simply aren’t there, so we’ve decided to make a change. We appreciate Coach Strong so much, are grateful for all he has done with our program and wish him the best in the future.”

What's interesting about that is it means he probably won't be following Herman to UT.

[TFloss32]

24/7 reporting RB JK Dobbins of La Grange is not a realistic option at this time, but if Herman were to hire OC Tim Beck from Ohio State, things could change quickly.

One huge hurdle is Dobbins being an early enrollee, so time is very limited.

As of 3 p.m. today, LSU's 24/7 site says LSU DC Dave Aranda intends on staying in Baton Rouge and is working on a new deal.

However, nothing has been signed and many believe Herman will go after him hard for the same position at Texas.

For those that don't know, Herman and Aranda were college roommates at Cal Lutheran in the 90s.

Well the plus side of that is that Herman likely hadn't had his chance to give his pitch hopefully he can lock him down. Realistically though if we miss on his DC at Houston and Aranda where do we go from there?

[Vito Corleone]

Three years ago, I said that with the hiring of Charlie Strong that the most important hire would be who his OC would be. I flipped out in a very bad way when we brought on Watson, because I knew he sucked.

Today I say this. Now that we have Tom Herman, the most important hire we make is the new DC. whoever it is has to be a home run hire. Herman doesn't know defense well enough to make a shit hire and then take over that side of the ball if he fails. Herman has to get it right.

Now, I want to know why everyone thinks we aren't getting the DC from Houston? U of H just Hired a search firm to help them find a new coach, I'm pretty sure that means the DC isn't going to be given the job. If that is the case, why can't we still hire him?

I heard he was going to interim the bowl game so someone suggested it meant he would likely be offered the job or was off the board to follow Herman. Not sure where Houston's defense ranked this season but they looked good in the few times I seen them. I mean they sacked Lamar Jackson 11 times he would run circles around Texas' defense. Even when Ed Oliver their best defensive player went down they were still getting tons of pressure. Not sure how good the DC is but it was a great scheme and good game planning, something Strong and Bedford were terrible at. The Kansas QB was a freshman I believe with only a few starts and we couldn't get to him quite as well so he seems to be an upgrade.

Memphis QB could have come to Texas if Strong would put out more effort. He seemed not to want a transfer QB.

[Biggems]

LSU plans to give Aranda a nice raise and an asst. HC position.

I think if Texas can match that, maybe even give him a little bit more, we could steal him.....no state tax and his history with Herman.....Aranda could be ours.

If we get Aranda, next will be to get a stud ST coach. I am sick of shitty FG kicking....that is one of the staples of Texas, good FG kickers. I miss the blocked punts and TDs on PR and KR. Our ST has gone to crap over the last 4 years and we need to get it back.

With Herman recruiting, our offense being unpredictable and able to pass and run, our D being able to not only get stops, but also force turnovers, and our ST being studly like during the majority of the Mack Brown era.....we will be competing for National Championships very soon. I honestly believe that.

Louisville, OU and Tulsa in top 6 of overall offenses. Houston won against all 3. Navy and Memphis have offenses in the 30-ish range and lost to them so just a little reference. Take it however you will. I would still prefer Aranda because LSU defense is crazy good but I think his DC at Houston would do good. No way this team under Strong comes close to containing likely Heisman winner Lamar Jackson like they were able to.

Well what we had with Traylor was a great recruiter that was it basically it am I right? If he was in charge of special teams and special teams were terrible maybe that's why Herman sees him as despensable. If he can get McGuire and he's a better X' and O's guy than its an upgrade because I have no doubt McGuire would be just as good in recruiting.
