Why fire him? Must be racism.
$5 million per year to pay a coach for a losing record ain’t good.
Charlie’s predecessor Mack Brown compiled a 158-48 record in 1998-2013 at the University of Texas. Charlie had a losing season every one of his 3 years with a 16-21 record. His final game was a 31-9 loss to TCU.
“Strong is married to a white woman and told the Orlando Sentinel that he believes the interracial marriage has had a negative impact on his quest to become a head coach.” (Orlando Sentinel, 2009)
I sure hope that Charlie doesn’t try to play the race card regarding the inevitable firing that will probably take place today. Anyone with any integrity knows its because the Longhorns have an all-time record of 888–353–33 (71% winning average) and his performance was way below that.

They should have been honest and fired him after the ignominious loss to KS last week. Texas lost to TCU yesterday anyway, so the inept AD gained nothing by letting Strong twist in the wind, subjecting him to degrading interviews with the circling media buzzards for a week.
UT doesn't have to leave the state to get enough talent to win a national title. My suggestion for the next coach is to recruit kids that know how to tackle...that's been UT's problem since Strong arrived.
I don’t agree. I think he might have been saved with a win over TCU.
