That’s obviously racist. You know they would have give a white dude more than 3 years to re-build a bottom of the barrel program.
But Les Miles is available and Kirby Smart might be.
Right now Kirby is over his head at UGA. Les it too old.
I think UT is going to going top write a couple big checks to pay off Houston and then pay Herman some major $$.
The biggest problem UT has on the field right now is twofold.
First, the defense has tackled very poorly and especially the young secondary. They are giving up way too many points. Vance Bedford (former UT defensive back) has been relieved of his duties as defensive coordinator and Strong has taken on that role in addition to head coach.
Second, both starting running backs went out with injuries in the last game and UT tried to stay with the run and short passes too long. With an extra week to get ready for the first Big 12 game the result was hard to take.
Having said that, the firing rumors may be as much of a wake up call than anything. Strong been the subject of the same rumor each year he’s been at Texas. At any rate, another poor season like last year may very well end his time at UT. One thing to keep in mind however is that he is an excellent recruiter. Over the last two years UT has signed top classes nationally. Strong’s first recruiting class was a bust but that’s what happens when the new head coach signs late in the recruiting process. Strong coached Louisville for four seasons and the last time I checked, he left that program in pretty good shape.
A white dude would have been fired LAST year. IMO, the ONLY reason Charlie still has a job is: fear of the appearance of racism.
Kirby Smart will NOT get fired after year 1 at Georgia. Hell, even Saban was 7-6 during his first year at Bama. After the season, Texas will fire Strong and back up the brinks truck to Tom Herrman’s house.
