    It wouldn't surprise me considering everyone else is staying put and he has the most to gain after Teddy decided to leave.

    Funny huh ... one of the only confirmed interviews is the new coach. Go figure, truth in reporting instead of the stupid rumor mill. Won't appease the boosters and fans, I don't think but not a bad hire if true. Interested to see if he brings Watson as his OC - they need a drastic infusion on offense, but Strong is more of a defensive dude - right?

    Guys are greedy as fukk. 3.7 million salary @ Louisville. Might be 5 million @ Texas. Usually comes down to ego.

    Same old shit at the end of the day. Guy gets the big $ offer and then might have a change of heart because there's some fear in leaving for the bigger fish bowl. I'd laugh to no end if Strong turned around and stayed at Louisville and made UT look like shit.

    Schools, conferences, even leagues, all stepping stones. Only players can't bounce around.

    texas can always outbid them. if he's smart he'll try to get his number to go up which is kinda what i'm getting at.

    i agree, anything in this coaching race is funny until a hire is made, but didn't mora already turn it down?

    i don't like texas at all by the way, it's just handle. i do like jedi mind tricks though.

    I forgot until I just read a story, but Strong reportedly did this whole song & dance with Tennessee last year and then gave 'em the double birds ... do it to the other UT and I might be a Strong fan for life.

    +1. i hate tennessee and texas almost equally. i don't remember him doing this to tennessee, but i will gladly believe it. the best part of the tennessee search was when they legitimately thought they were getting john gruden. i still have belly laughs about that.
