    I'm not even a UT fan, but I feel bad for Charlie. I don't see how he survives this one.

    He don't have my sympathy........he didn't move the team forward. I wasn't in favor of the choice in the first place. He'll land on his feet somewhere......somewhere else besides UT and the Big 12.
    Yesterdays are gone forever and tomorrows may never happen, but today you have the opportunity to make a difference.

    Hearing lots of rumors swirling in Raiderland too. Losing 66-10 to Iowa State and going a combined 12-24 in Big 12 play will do that...

    don't forget his assistants buyouts, the buyout for the new coach from his school he's at now to along with his salary which I won't be surprised will more than Strongs...and remember still paying over time on the last staff.

    I still think he needs one more year. He must have kicked off the the team at least 10 players for discipline and what have you in 2014. So many freshman and sophomores starting including the QB. What do we expect? Those young men looked defeated because they knew at that point they had let the coach down and even if they had held on the chances were slim for Strong to remain at UT. I believe next year would be or would have been the breakout season. It's a mistake to let him go. Okay, as someone else on here has said in the past repeatedly..fire away.

    Speaking of Craig James, he just totally destroyed his TV career soon after that by not being "politically correct."

    Plus, he ran for some statewide office (U.S. Senate?) and came in either last or close to it.

    All this happened after he decided to take on Leach and get him fired over not playing his son. So Leach unleashed some karma on that mofo, it looks like.

    Looks like James, who may or may not have killed five hookers while at SMU, already moved out of Celina. https://bustedcoverage.com/2014/10/0...-just-1800000/

    As for the Texas deal, it'd be cheaper to have Red McCombs write a check to buy Strong out than what they're going to lose from all the empty seats and lost merchandise sales if they were to keep him one more year. He is ALREADY officially UT's version of OU's late 1990s catastrophe named Coach John Blake.

    I feel for Strong myself, he has been a great influence on my son the last three years. Every player on this team had his back , to bad it did not work out. We have made some lifetime memories , Hookem
