I'd say it was more of a six year (04-09) run, but those six years were UT's only stretch of consistent national relevance since the mid-70s. Place has been a coacjing graveyard since Royall. If Strong gets run halfway through year 3, I'd think long and hard about why so many have failed there.




Paul Brown. However, Ohio State has had only five coaches since 1951. Woody and Tressel were fired for slugging an opposing player and cheating respectively while Earl and Cooper were given 9 and 13 years before finally being let go. Not a comparable situation to Texas.

And didn't Fessler quit after the snow bowl - might have been before they could fire him, but hey...

After another coordinator move, Charlie Strong's job on the line at Texas

Texas athletic director Mike Perrin scurried by in the hall, agitated enough in the wake of Texas' 49-31 loss to Oklahoma State to pause and confess to reporters that he would be "evaluating everything."

Sunday, as Bedford’s dejected look the day before portended, news broke that Strong would be demoting Bedford and taking the reins of the Texas defense himself.

And so, not even halfway into his third season in Austin, Strong has already reached his do-or-die moment.

There is nobody else left to blame.

Nobody else left to fire.

But the Longhorns brass is undoubtedly aware the time is probably now or never to go after Houston coach Tom Herman. LSU has already fired Les Miles, and Herman figures to be among the Tigers’ top targets.

As a former Texas graduate assistant and offensive coordinator at Rice, Herman has strong ties to the state. He’s already demonstrated at Houston that he can recruit at an elite level. And on top of that, he's proven to be an elite coach, coordinating Ohio State’s national championship offense is 2014 before rapidly transforming Houston into a playoff contender.

Herman would seem to be a perfect match for Texas.

That's the backdrop Strong will be operating under for the rest of the season, beginning this weekend against rival Oklahoma in what’s sure to be the closest thing to a last stand Strong has faced yet.

Actually, Paul Bixler left after one year for Colgate. Allegedly the pressure at OSU was too much for him. He was right before Fesler.

If I am Herman's agent, my simple list of demands to Red McComb's

  1. Back up the truck, this is going to be expensive. Assistants will also be expensive but are extra.
  2. Get a competent AD in there who will keep his pie hole shut and out of my way
  3. I need 5 years, if you fire me before that then back up 2 trucks.
Do those things and get the fuck out of my way and watch my guy close down the state of Texas in recruiting and ape fuck the sorry ass B12.

soo. further reason to stay the fuck away from Tejas








over his head AD makes an honest statement and the spinsters say it never happened ...

Texas had better hope that they can find their Robert Scottenstein to take charge and quietly lock down Herman before anyone realizes what's happening. Otherwise, this might turn into an epic shitshow, and it would take a lot to top their last coaching search. I, however, have faith in that dysfunctional university's ability to step up and achieve.

Just a reminder they ran a function, if totally aloof, AD out of the building for trying to change the way things were done in the AD

Not being Obtuse - the fact is with the talent he had he was not a Great coach - most folks say he spent more time glad handing all the boosters and [Mark May] - Mack was a master politician and a good coach. You don't realize the time suck and the politics involved in a job like Tejas where most folks can NAME the boosters.

This is no doubt but times have changed they expect to win now and all the time, forgetting their place in history.

That's only bolsters my point. So he's a good / not great coach. Got to stay there 15 years and won a Natty. So yeah, my original point is that the right guy can do great things. Thank you for making my point for me.

Watching multiple clown-show coaching searches over the last 4-5 years has left me awe-struck with how silently and efficiently tOSU locked down the premier available coach when they had to. Any firm hired by any school should be on the horn trying to find out how they got it done.
