Can't say I didn't see this coming. LSU was a smoke screen to make sure Texas didn't take their time in the hiring process. No question Strong had 3 down years in terms of wins and losses, but you can't deny it was on the rise. Look at the recruiting classes he was getting. The pieces are there and more are coming. They were not mature enough yet. Herman will have the pieces, but needs to keep recruiting well. Texas has to be patient.

Hey grad, will this game be on TV anywhere?

I'd bet a dinner you get no answer.

It is. If I knew Herman would take the job, it would be easier to fathom. The idea we could fire Strong, miss Herman, and end up with something that starts this whole thing over again, is what's troubling. Make sure Herman is the guy.

Idk why she is even acknowledged on this board. She squirts out comments like this constantly, and refuses to back up any of it. She refuses to answer any rebuttal question, knowing she has no legitimate argument. Do you all not think she does this just to piss people off? Like an obnoxious child looking for attention, you can't play into the act.

If Texas fires Strong, they better pray they don't let Herman get away. Would be awful embarrassing to have him decline to stay in Houston/Go to any other school.Oh well, maybe we could get Saban or Meyer.

You are correct, not discrediting Robinson. He is a very good coach as well. It should be an great game. I am hoping Woodville pulls it off.

A quality DC could come knowing if Strong doesn't stay, the job will be open. Usually the OC and DC get at least an interview. Especially if the said DC who would come is a damn good DC. May come, hoping to eventually land Strong's job. Idk. Like I said, i'm not thrilled with what has been going on. I just don't think there is a big enough catch to make a difference as fast as we want. Your better off giving him another full year of Shane and that offense and go from there. Once again who is a realistic expectation?

I have not seen Yoe play this year, but got a look at Woodville. Man, the are athletic. I would lean on Yoe with a coaching advantage, but I think Woodville wins a close one. 33-28 Good Luck Eagles!

An African American is elected twice by the same people the Left call racists. How does that work? Couldn't be that the Dems got behind a trash candidate that couldn't out politic a celebrity. The Republican party could have ran almost anybody and beat Clinton.

I pray for this day.

My whole point. There is not a realistic candidate out there that will change the landscape of Texas Football. The team is young. I don't think you bail on Charlie with a freshman QB that could be a difference maker next year. Unless you bring in a Saban, Meyer, Fisher, Swinney, what is the point. Give it another year and go from there.

I doubt very seriously Texas loses badly to TCU. If they get ran off the field in embarrassing fashion he is probably gone. They will not lose to Kansas.

LBJ is a known Clinton supporter. They (Dems) are sore they (Dems) lost, and grasp at every straw possible to take offense to something. It is another attempt to play the victim.

[Hidden Content] No issue staying at his hotels when he is not president Refuse to stay there now that he is president-elect. Isn't he the same guy today as he was a month ago? If they had a problem with who he was a person, why stay there to begin with? Why not boycott his hotels a month ago?

IMO the most realistic expectation would be Herman or Peterson. I like the latter. I was never sold on Herman, nor completely on Peterson, but if they are set on a new coach he would be a formidable choice. Saban, Harbaugh, Meyer, and Fisher seem pretty unrealistic. I would be thrilled for a Dabo Swinney to Texas move. With Watson leaving for the NFL, I could see Dabo considering that move. Doubtful, but one can dream.

In your opinion UTFanatic, who do you think should be the man, if Strong is let go. Texas is not winning, so it would have to be a name that recruits will believe in. Is Herman still that guy after the collapse at U of H? Les Miles? Who is a realistic expectation?

I doubt there will be a new staff. There is a pretty obvious progression at the QB position, which has killed Texas in the past. He can play, and there is no reason to dump a new coach on him after his freshman year. Didn't Strong hit on him? I think another year to grow from him and tighten up that defense, next year will be a more Texas-like year. I'm all for firing him, after one more year. ONE.

As disappointed UT Football has made me in the last 8 years or so, I think you gotta bring Charlie back for one more year, at least. He has the pieces on offense (QB), finally to make a run at a Big 12 title. Obviously the defense has got to play better, but there has been a progression in overall team play that they have not shown in recent memory. I'd give him one more year with this group.

Who cares about an 8th grader quitting a sport? Middle school kids stop playing football all the time. That should be for the Youth Sports thread. Freshman, realizing next level football is not for them, happens all the time. Now for varsity, who knows. I would assume there were disagreements with the coach. Coaches usually win those.

Texas fell off when they had their choices of players, and missed on those players. Nothing other schools have done, in my opinion, has caused UT to fall. The Longhorn did this to themselves and it is up to them to get out of it. You cannot repeatedly miss at the QB position.

Regardless of UT's recent struggles, they will always survive. I wouldn't be surprised if they get back to the top of the Big 12 sooner rather than later. Baylor on the other hand, is about to take a major tumble. I think that is why Baylor fans are so mad. They know whats coming, and the future has very few wins in it. OF is right, it happens. However, this is bad for Briles, real bad. He will not be on the sideline for the foreseeable future, thats a given. I would not be totally shocked if he never gets another D1 job again. This is about as close to a death penalty as you can get. With season being so close, Baylor will be in complete disarray, and think of all of the future recruits that will not even consider Baylor now. Briles was the reason they were going. With their performance looking like it will take a major hit in the coming years, I cannot see a major prospect gong to Waco without a Briles there.

Jasper wins 5-1, the field location does not matter. That's my best guess.

Understood. My apoplgies
