“Stupid” has nothing to do with firing head football coaches at UT. It’s a tradition!
Some believe even Darryl Royal would have been fired had he hung around another year or two. Akers was fired with a winning percentage of somewhere over 80 %. David McWillams was fired.
Only the very, very, very best coach can survive at UT. Charlie is not that. Why let him continue to twist in the wind? Time for Charlie and UT to move on.
Charlie Strong was a HORRIBLE game day coach. It was maddening to watch the poor game management all season. I don't care if he had rainbow colored skin, he was in way over his head at Texas. His weekly press conferences were painful to watch - I just don't think he is a smart man. Worst all-time record in Texas history, at 43.2%. It's great his players love him, but getting wins with at least a fairly clean squad is the primary metric at UT, as it should be.
