Looks like Texas is having major issues

[TheDouglas78]

I like what Strong is doing. Sometimes you need to strip something down to it's foundation before you can build a strong structure. It kind of reminds me of when Charley Pell took over at Florida. UF was a mess, he cleaned it up. A lot of people credit Spurrier with the birth of Florida being a top program, but Pell is the one who laid the foundation for that to occur. UF went winless in his first season, but that was the price to be paid to get the wormwood out. If Strong can make Louisville a good team, I have no doubt that he will make Texas a great team in time.

Pell cleaned it up and then immediately got the program on probation. Not a great example.

exactly.

We don't know yet what the attitudes are like there. It could be a sense of entitlement, it could also be as simple as some kids are still upset that Mack has left. I doubt the latter has any bearing on raping anyone though... I just know that going into a new environment it is a lot easier to use the whip then lay off after a while, then to go in, make friends, then try to get tough.

Apparently Mack Brown lost all control of the program.

Pell got a lot of help from boosters in that regard. The point I'm making is that UF was never a good enough football team to beat anyone on a national level until he came along. He did what Bear Bryant had always warned about, turning UF into a football team that could have a chance against anyone.

The big question is why he isn't coaching at Florida? I think it has something to do with who he's married to and the old white men that are influential boosters at UF. Instead UF get's a coach who is now 4-11 against ranked teams and has ended streaks that have been in place forever or since 1945. How many of us were even alive in 1945?

There's a lot of reasons he's not coaching at Florida.

What streak from 1945?

I think the reason he isn't coaching at UF is that Foley won't fire another mediocre coach with no head coaching experience or without a strong resume. Foley can't afford to if he survives this second fiasco.

Strong's resume so far is that he beat Dawgcramp in a bowl game the same year he lost to a CUSA cellar dweller. Anyone who pays 6 mil per year for that is an idiot. Strong will be unemployed in 3 years.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Losing to a lower division team? I didn't think we ever did that.

Retained a coach who had two losing SEC seasons? I think that was the 50s.

Lost on homecoming? Lost to Vandy? Not sure what was since 1945.

Mushcramp has set so many loser records it's hard to remember them all.

 

[T REX]

Laying down the law. He's doing the right thing longterm. Need players to buy in.

I personally don't think Strong will make it at Texas, he will win games but not the big games.

Conversely I think Muschamp will turn UF around and be very successful and then Texas will come calling and he (WM) will go back to Texas.

You heard it here first.

Lost to Vandy at home for the first time since 1945.

If Muschamp actually pulled that off I don't see him leaving. We would pay him what he wanted if that scenario ever came to fruition.

 

[Turk182]

I think if Texas wanted Muschamp, they would have already had him.

I'd "Dislike" your comment but it is gone.

+1, and also what Gator Fever said. If Muschamp turns it around here, he'll get top $$ and won't be moving anywhere. He was HC in waiting at Texas, if he wanted to be HC there all he had to do was stay there and wait for Mack Brown to get fired.

It's just my opinion of what might happen in the future.

Everyone seems to be real busy looking into crystal balls these days,

T-Rex, that doesn't surprise me at all. You have made your position on Muschamp know, over and over and over and over......
