Strong is a fraud.

He coached against 4 Top 25 teams in 4 years.

And he parlayed that into 25 million dollars.

Scratch that.

Strong is a genius fraud.

Why stay at Lville and be 3rd or 4th or mid pack in the ACC in terms of facilities and stature, etc when u can go to the #1 in the Big 12. Easier path to NC via Texas in Big 12 than LVille in ACC.

how do you figure? Outside of FSU, who are we not above as a program right now?? Clemson has had a few good years but I doubt it

You're joking right?

Who the fuk has Louisville beaten that has you convinced you can beat Clemson?

Beating Temple, UConn, and USF isn't the same as going into Death Valley on a Saturday night and winning.

First of all-- you didn't beat a Top 25 program this year.

[SBR_John]

Dam this is looking like a done deal. And smells like its the politically correct move rather than the best coach who would take the job. Was really hoping to see a dynamic recruiter. Maybe the Horns have just accepted to be a middle of the pack team. Beats Mack but could have done a lot better.

Come on John.

Give me a name-- who would be willing to deal with all the bullshit that comes with the Texas' job?

Too many Bubbas running around your program.

[SBR_John]

I could think of at least 25.
Cower would be a great recruiter
Jimmy Johnson
Gruden
Les Miles
Stoops
Saban
Pete Carrol
Tom Landry
fukkk I dont know but I do know there are a LOT of guys wearing rings that are doing nothing. There may not be a person of color out there with a championship ring and apparently that's the problem.

I missed "A PINK UNICORN" on your list.

Since you just dealing with fantasy, I'm surprised Bigfoot was included either.

In case you missed this part-- Saban said no.

There is no evidence anyone on your list would have taken that job.

There is NOT one name on this list that is realistic. The bottom line is this. Texas took their #8 or 9 or 10 choice. All of the good HC's out there turned them down. Texas hired the perfect scapegoat. Strong is a mediocre HC at best. In his 4 years at Louisville, he has losses to: Kentucky, Oregon State, Cincinnati (X2), Pitt (X2), USF, West Virginia, Florida International, Marshall, North Carolina, N.C. State, Syracuse, UConn, and UCF. Tell me what is so good about this record. Three and OUT for Strong. Texas is now a 2nd tier Big 12 team.

who the penetrate did Clemson beat? They were the embarrassment of the season IMO. That FSU game was the worst performance from a "top team" I have EVER saw

Aren't you the same fukkin idiot that got laughed off the forum a few years ago? Something about saying a spread went to pick 'em when it was like -300 to get it there?

I know that was you. So please, just stop embarrassing yourself any further. You're clearly just as big of an idiot now as you were then.

Granted Tom Landry is not very realistic but how about waving $7m in front of Les Miles? Cower would take $7 large and so would Gruden.

Otherwise I agree with you. Its a safe, politically correct hire. The great players out of Dallas and Houston will go to Oklahoma, LSU, Bama and A&M and Texas will get those that are not good enough for those teams and too dumb to get into TCU and SMU. We can dominate the Sun Bowl maybe.

[EaglesPhan36]

What is this stupid shit about being a PC hire? It's called, he's the only guy out there who is high enough up on the availables list who actually wants the job. Has zero to do with skin color. I don't really think this hire will excite the fan base or the fat cats who fund that program all that much. Of course if you read around, some of the fat cats were the dummies talking about bringing a guy like Gruden in which would have been one of the weirdest hires in sports ... albeit probably would have had the whole word talking more than this one.

Still waiting for you to name one fuking team Louisville has beaten that was worth a damn.

Ohio State would bitch Louisville up.

As would Georgia.

everyone said florida would last year too...i lean more your way on this but to say its definitive without them actually playing isnt right just based on the fact that everyone thought the same thing about that game

ucf was a bad loss at the time but it looks a lot better now especially since ucf's lone loss was a good showing vs so carolina

Gruden and Cowher are making more money than that with their TV and advertising gigs. Cowher already told ESPN that he is not interested in ANY coaching job in 2014. This pick is what Texas had left. Let's see. Mora, Briles, Saban, and Fischer all turned Texas down. Dantonio told Texas not to even bother asking. The pro coaches, Harbaugh, Kelly, and Tomlin just laughed at Texas. That is 8 people who turned Texas down. So I guess they settled for #9, a HC with a decent record (37-15) with a school form a conference that was so weak that they lost their AQ status after this season. Texas is now a non-threat in the Big 12. OU and Baylor have passed them up. Their recruiting is dead. Look for TCU to pas Texas next season and Okie State IF they can replace the 14 starters they lose to graduation this season. Let's see how Strong does without a star QB.

Opie, you are a typical Texas homer. No class at all. No brains. Wake up and smell the coffee.

strong told u of L he hadnt decided as recently as this morning

id think he'll go but if he stays he'd become a fukkin legend in lville....worth thinking about...

You think Gruden & Cowher are making 7 million + with their tv gigs? Seriously??

Please just admit that was you that made that post about a line going to pick 'em. You know...the one where everyone laughed & laughed at you because it was like pick -300, and you said you found that game at pick 'em. I know you remember, pal!

Drinker--- Kyle Whittingham took a Utah team and beat Nick Saban in a BCS bowl game.

No one is offering Whittingham the Texas job.

My point? Charlie Strong faced FOUR! fuking Top 25 teams in 4 years----and he went 2-2.

He got fat playing shitty teams, and now he's also getting offered one of the best jobs in college football.

well that really wasnt the point...im just saying you cant make the leap that theyd get throttled by anyone in their case

as for strong and whittingham you really cant compare their pedigree...strong's UF background counts for a lot here too

sure there might have been better guys to offer but some of them dont want the circus....remember when saban finally went to bammer? richrod was their original guey and he turned it down....sometimes theres a lot of luck involved in all this

Texas fans must be feeling great that their 4th or 5th choice is "conflicted" about taking the job now. If Patterson had balls, he'd put a deadline on this shmuck and show him he's running the show. Take the offer today or it goes down a million a year every day for the next two days and then it's gone.

[jarvol]

Louisville is going to get their tails handed to them in 2014. Your losses will include, but may no be limited to: Florida State, Miami, Clemson, and Notre Dame. 8-4 is as good as it will get for Louisville.
