OK if Texas is such a great job then how...

Do they keep getting turned down by major candidates and end up with Friggin Charlie Strong?
They play in a trash conference and play uninteresting games. They don't outrecruit LSU, A&M, OU, or Baylor for that matter for Texas kids.
There are several SEC Jobs which are every bit as good as Texas if not better. LSU is one of them. So is Florida, Tennessee, Bama, and at this point A&M.
Hell, I doubt that Texas is even the top job in Texas any longer. A&M's move to the SEC has done a lot of damage to Texas' clout in Texas.

Boosters there are a pain in the arse and scare away some coaches.
Otherwise, it's a fantastic gig. If they ever do get a great coach, most of your points are reversed.

Maybe the money.... you saying they settled for Charlie Strong proves your ignorance. You do realize how highly pursued he was at Louisville don't you?

Hell, we outspend them by 1.5 million on our entire coaching staffs. If they have that deep of pockets they should be near the top.

Same with USC .
If USC is so much better why are they still reeling to field an elite team post-PC? Coach after coach..
Complete failure.
LSU has proven they can withstand a coaching change once being established.. if an average coach like Miles can maintain.. imagine an above average coach with this talent.. sky is the limit. I believe LSU is the #1 job. Just look at the difference a new coach made this week for LSU.
Texas didn't even make a bowl game. They signed a great class and got all the Baylor guys and they are still trash. Absolutely horrid defense. I'm so sick of people who try to compare LSU to Tennessee or some other shite school.
Certain programs can withstand a coaching change such as Ohio St and FSU. Some can't. USC and Texas both still crap. LSU proven they can once being among the elite.
One more note, people keep acting like the SEC is just some ridiculously tough conference.. but I don't really see it that way. Of course they have great players.. but Florida and Alabama have both shown you can establish tremendous success in it.. I believe LSU, with the right coach, can be every bit as much a dynasty as Alabama.. who is actually beatable given an offensive mastermind.
I think all top coaches should be looking hard at LSU instead of the other programs that continue to fail..

Actually one big turn off is the Long horn network. Coaches have to do shows on the network all the time.

Saw the news tonight that Vance Bedford, Texas DC, has been demoted. Strong is taking over Bedford's responsibilities as DC.
I think Strong gets another year.

Texas didn't just settle for strong. He was the hottest coaching candidate in the country at the time and made teddy bridgewater a household name.
You forget that they pushed hard for Saban and were prepared to make him even more ludicrously wealthy that Alabama could even dream of.
Fact is, Texas is still one of the premier coaching destinations right now. The uncertainty over the future of the big 12 may scare some of but it shouldn't...Texas will have suitors from coast to coast regardless of how that plays out. They really are just one good coach away from waking up from their slumber I'm afraid to say

Texas used to dominate the state's recruiting. All the good players in texas wanted to go to UT. Baylor had a pityful program. SMU had been placed on strict probation and even weren't allowed to have a team for a couple of years. TCU was a small independent school and Houston and Rice were jokes.
Mack Brown had two Heisman winners, conference championships, and a national championship. A&M were his only real competition in Texas. All of that has changed. They still have a lot of money but the shine is off the program. Still one of the best jobs in the country from a salary standpoint and lots and lots of extras.

LSU fans kill me. Sorry to break it to ya, but the LSU HC position isn't the ultimate
end-all be-all coaching position that y'all think it is
