From ESPN 1250 radio interview. Red McCombs: "I think they went about it wrong, and I think they made the selection wrong." Red McCombs: "I don't have any doubt Charlie is a fine coach. I think he'd probably make a fine position coach, maybe a coordinator." Red McCombs: "I had been talking to Jon Gruden at length any number of times and we had planned on having our next long conversation today." Red: "If we got Gruden in there for 15-years, that we'd get at least 5-titles and we would set records like we've never set before."

Pretty tool-like comment. He will be all over him if he starts winning though.

No racist but.....for all the hype everybody put on this job I have to say to somebody that doesn't have a dog in the hunt Strong does seem like a pretty underwhelming hire.

Gosh damn that almost makes me pity the Longhorns. Pathetic and embarrassing.

Charlie Strong is a successful head coach. To say Strong would be a nice position coach is, well, I don't know what that is. No he didn't mention race, but still begs the question, with a record such as he has, why is he not a good head coach.
Now some of it is clearly UT arrogance.

That is literally the greatest thing I have ever read. It reminds me of when fans joke that they want Saban as DC and Belichick as OC, but McCombs is fricking serious.

I love how Gruden gets on tv and everyone loved him (I think he's great) and all the sudden he would win 10 championships at any college

I've never seen this McCombs guy, but I always picture him in my head with a ten gallon hat and a bolo tie.

Maybe a coordinator? Does this guy know anything at all about Strong?

"A position coach, maybe a coordinator"?

Now I see why Patterson didn't listen to his boosters for the hire.

It's because this McCombs guy is a fricking idiot.

If I were Charlie Strong, I would kick McCombs out of any meeting or practice he tried to attend.

And I'd probably get fired.

If McCombs thought he would get Gruden to coach at UT then I have a couple of bridges to sell him in NYC.

In an interview with ESPN 1250 in San Antonio, billionaire booster Red McCombs criticized the Longhorns' process and suggested that Strong is not on par with the type of candidate that Texas should be hiring to lead its football program.

"I think the whole thing is a bit sideways," McCombs said via ESPN.com. "I don't have any doubt that Charlie is a fine coach. I think he would make a great position coach, maybe a coordinator.

"But I don't believe [he belongs at] what should be one of the three most powerful university programs in the world right now at UT-Austin. I don't think it adds up."


Maybe a coordinator?

Maybe?

Mother.

Of.

God.
