Charlie Strong out at Texas?

[Roughneck93]

UT does have talent but they still have a ? At QB, imo. That was the biggest issue w strong imo. You have to score points in the big 12.

Beuchele is small. And hermans system relies on a running QB. That has to be a concern for Herman.

It's official....

“I’m thrilled to have Tom Herman joining us as our head football coach,” athletic director Mike Perrin said. “I am impressed with his insights on college sports, football and academic success, and his philosophy of developing the student-athlete into the complete person. He clearly has a passion and respect for the game of football, and also, a passion for teaching young men the game and the life lessons that come with that.”

“In Tom Herman, Longhorn football is getting a proven competitor, terrific recruiter, and committed mentor of student-athletes who has shown his ability to succeed at all levels,” UT president Gregory L. Fenves said. “Tom was the hottest young head coach in the country the past two seasons, and I am thrilled we are able to get him back to UT to lead Texas football.”

Would be a nice option for them. Beuchele needs to RS and put on 15lbs. Kid got really beat up this year.

Allen has a legit NFL arm. Just not sure if he's got it upstairs.

I'm going on record right now predicting a very successful season next year in Herman's first year, and back to prominence nationally thereafter. I just have a very good feeling about this hire......he's got that "win, but win clean" factor that Texas sorely needs. I think the Horns found their man to lead the football program for years to come.

I personally am not sold on Herman, he will surely be a better hire than strong was! In the pressure cooker at UT, things happen! Herman is a good coach, but the pressure cooker is already whistling. He has the talent, and young talent at that, should make an easier transition. I can see an 8 win season, and a great recruiting class coming in! Good luck to Herman, with a little luck and hard work, the job will last as long as he coaches.

Greg Ward Jr is 5'10 174 as a SR

Buchele is 6'1 195 as a Fresh

size is not even close to the issue..can he handle the athleticism part of the new season will be

Are there any really good dual-threat QBs in the Houston area at the high school level this year? He's good at recruiting that area. I'm curious if there are any really high quality dual threat QBs coming out of any Texas high school this coming season. A Vince Young type would be very good.

Buchele is not even close to 6'1, in boots he may be 6' and that's a fact jack.

I am a shade under 6'1 and when I stood by him his sr year he was just a bit taller than me.


Also he was measured at Elite 11 camp...they do not fudge numbers like schools do good and bad.

I am 6'1 and I stood next to him on the field last Friday along with my son, definitely nowhere near as tall as me. Maybe I have shrunk, LOL.

Yeah, shocker, I agree w hook. Beuchele is small.

And I think my point still holds because ward was dinged up all season. That offense requires a threat by the QB. Ward was much more shifty than beuchele and got banged up.
