I think you are looking at Strong or John Gruden.

The problem with Texas is the same problem you'd have at Alabama or Oklahoma or Michigan or USC: winning isn't enough. You've got to endure totally unrealistic expectations 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. Every minute, you are scrutinized.

You've also got to gladhandle a completely different breed of asshole when it comes to the Texas job: Joe Jamail and that car salesman guy whose name escapes me.

Also, you can't walk down the hall and take a crap without Lornhorn Network cameras and reporters on you.

All of this is why I think the best person for the job is probably Gruden. I mean, the guy worked for Al Davis. Anyone who endured Al Davis (and, let's be honest - Jerry Jones can be thrown into this category as well) can probably handle any asshole hangers-on around the Texas program.

Gruden also loves himself and loves to be on television. So, the Longhorn Network cameras and reporters everywhere wouldn't be all that different than the world he is already living in as an NFL TV guy. He'd have the least amount of learning curve there, if any at all.

He's enthusiastic, which the players would love. He can bullshit with the best of them, too; so, he'd be great with the alumni.

That's not how they are spinning it. It's all about Mack not wanting Saban to take his job. Once it was leaked that it was possible if Mack staying then Saban signs his contract. Coincidence? I think

Todd Graham, the ASU Head coach, will be the next Head Coach at Texas.

Since it would be not only the usual breach of coaching contract, but also a breach of the AD's terms leaving, I think this is one where you could actually see a lawsuit. They let their AD go on the stipulation that he wouldn't take anyone with him. So expect the Horns to put up some of their huge cash on hand to cover it if this actually happens.

I know he did a good job with Lousiville, but I have to say, he doesn't scare me. austin U has talent, and he is a good coach, but I'm not sure he will be able to just waltz in and win.

Let's go Mean Green! Make him wish he would have kept his ass in Kentucky!

First black head coach at Texas?

If so, expect to see articles claiming they broke the color barrier. Lol

I expect to see even tackier "jokes" but against him instead of UT as a whole. I hope for his sake that's not the case but we will see.

underwhelming hire...4 years as a head coach...now he has to run an empire...gonna be tough for him...hopefully, i think, texas isn't quick on the draw to fire him if he starts off slow...

Personally, I think it's a very good hire. Not as good as Saban, and certainly not as big a splash. But Charlie Strong is still relatively young, and took what had become a mediocre Louisville team under who I thought was a pretty good coach (Steve Kragthorpe), to an 11-1 record this year featuring a 30-point beatdown of Miami in their bowl game. He is a great recruiter, knows how to win, will bring defensive tenacity to a team that has sorely lacked it in recent years. Personally, I think this is a better hire than Briles, Franklin, Graham, or Gruden.

      I think Floyd is going to be solid at the point. Our backcourt is deep with good shooters. Massey has me really intrigued as he hit the glass and appears to have some hops to him. I think I expected more out of Wright, thinking he was our prized pick up out of the portal. Lorient, even if Hodge says he is the most athletic player he has had during his time here, doesn’t really have a shot and doesn’t go up strong at the rim. I thought Sissoko looked tons better than last year. Better hands, couple of steals and solid play in the paint. He’s not going to be a double double player for us and that’s alright with the scorers around him. Stone still runs to hot. I think in his effort to be our energy/hustle player on defense, it hurts his offensive game. He rushes to shoot or pass and the same dribbling to the basket. How many breaks has he had where he didn’t finish? There is no rhythm to his offensive game and that kills him. He either has to contribute more on offense, or we need to give Cotton and Mason a shot. I don’t know much about the freshman Smith, but he needs to put in some weight and probably get up to the speed of the D1 game. Hope to see some of the youngsters tomorrow night.

      I'll be at The Pit tomorrow, but between my friend group we've got 8 tickets unable to be used. All lower level near the UNT bench - two solos, a pair, and a group of 4. If anyone needs tickets, let me know! Per my ticket rep a ticket for the men's game will also get you into the women's game at 5:30 if you can make it.
