LSU why? Because they have an opening. He'all be playing until January, Texas could have an opening by then.
LSU has no shot.
Texas can blow them out of the water in every way.

Blair is a troll
When Strong is Axed, Herman is going to be #1 on our list. He was a grad assistant here under Mack and has lots of ties to Texas high school football. Not to mention the State of Louisiana is fiscally tapped out and they don't have the resources we have. It might take making him the highest paid coach ever, but Texas will get him.
Correct, I have no problem with any fans.
Just don't pretend to be a Longhorn fan and troll.
I will no longer support or defend strong. Today was absolutely the last straw for me.
You have an extra week to prepare and you still give up 49 points. You can't tackle. Your pat unit can't contain the inside rush, having 3 in a row blocked, one returned for a safety. Your 18 wheeler package is so predictable, since you never use swoopes to pass. Buechele on throws 5-8 yd passes all game. So since all you do is run and throw short passes, the opposong D can crowd the offense and not worry about about deep routes.
I'm sick of the same stupid bull game after game. What good is having great athletes and players if you don't coach them up and put them in a position to kick ass and take names.
Let's suffer through this year, then get Herman in here and bring his DC with him from Houston.
AD Mike Perrin on Strong from OrangeBloods:
"We need to evaluate what happened here," Perrin said. "It was not a successful outcome at all. Very disappointing on a number of fronts."
This. Herman turned down jobs last year to specifically see what happened with Texas. It's his dream job.

Ehh offense was toast after losing foreman and warren that's not necessarily on coaching
Money is not the issue at LSU. Les' contract was paid almost entirely by booster money and media revenue, not public money. The Jimbo fiasco last year wasn't about the budget itself. It was about the PR ramifications of paying a $15 million buyout during the budget crisis, regardless of where that money was actually coming from. The average casual fan who doesn't know about how their school's athletic department works would have been up in arms at LSU's president spending that much money right after going around crying poor all season.
If it wasn't for his dream job probably opening up in Austin, Herman would be a lock for LSU, IMO. He could still own the Houston market, he'd have minimal compe ion for his own state's recruits, and he'd get the keys to a great program that just needs a coach. The only thing that could possibly throw a wrench in it for both Texas and LSU is if the Fer ta brothers offer some insane amount of money that no football coach is worth to get him to stay.
What's up with Strong trying to decline that penalty. Jesus Christ.
Moreso than if the brothers offer him the money, if Houston gets in a major conference that could also keep him in town. He gets a 5 million bonus if that happens not counting a new contract.
A microcosm of what is Strong's in-game management.
I think the refs had to tell him don't decline.
Herman almost bolted for South Carolina last year. I doubt he's going to wait around to see if Houston gets into the P5, bonus be damned. Plus, it doesn't sound like the Big 12 is going to expand after all.
And frankly, I think the Big 12 factor is way overrated. Even if Houston gets into the Big 12, they're still Houston. They still aren't a blue-blood, they still can't fill their shiny new stadium even when they're ranked 6th in the country, and they're still the third-most popular program at best in their own city. None of that changes overnight just from getting into the Big 12. Herman doesn't seem like the Patterson/Whittingham/Snyder type who stays at one school forever. He'll inevitably leave UH for greener pastures.
None of that matters to Herman, honestly. He likes to call his own shots and his family loves Houston, so wherever he moves it won't be far. Let's say Houston gets in the Big 12, do you think it will be a hard sell to get kids to stay home and play rather than go hundreds or thousands of miles to get exposure? Herman was never close to leaving for South Carolina since he was waiting to see what happened with Texas. Also, 40,000 people went to see them play Uconn

Yeah I know those schools aren't thousands of miles away. (USC is though which is another school Herman prefers after Texas). I'm asking, would it be a hard sell to kids in Houston to say at home and play big time schools? And I'm not disagreeing with what you are saying. I'm just saying, it could be a nice pitch to kids from Houston IF, BIG IF he were to stay. Schools like Baylor, TCU would suffer greatly.

It could be worse. You could be the Beavs.
But anyways, Strong has never been a fit for high powered offenses.
I understand that the offense was lacking when we lost the RBs, but we still lacked originality before then. When Swoopes is in the game, a pass or two would be nice, so the defense will not solely key on the run. In fact, play action would be perfect. Fake a handoff and then throw it down the seam to a TE or WR who has faked a block and then ran out into a pattern.
Buechele has nice touch on the ball, give some intermediate and deep routes. Enough with almost every pass being 8 yds or less. The pass to the TE was a thing of beauty....more of that please.
I wonder if foreman had a severe side cramp, stemming from that long TD run. He grabbed his side like he was cramping really bad. I know I have felt that side pain, where every breath feels like someone is stabbing me with Excalibur in the rib area. He is no wuss either, so whatever pain he had must have been super intense for him to go down with no contact.
Baylor's ed already from the rape scandal regardless of what Houston does. I don't think TCU would suffer at all. They're a much better program than UH and will still attract their share of talent.
tbh osu had a good game plan, sat on those routes. but yeah, there was little adjustment. foreman got hurt on the TD run when the dude hit him 8 yards into the end zone and there was no flag.
