It amazes me how little people in LA actually know about what and how things work in Texas. The Univ of Texas System has so much money its mind boggling...Strong was a compromise option after Mac Brown sabotaged Saban to Texas, he virtually has 0 mega booster support, and they really run everything at UT. Strong's support comes from within the liberal Sipp intelligentsia which is mainly faculty and Admins...and they have no power. If UT loses to OU, Strong can throw all his staff under the bus, it wont matter, he'll be gone.

It's true. Texas is a giant power and unlike any job in the country
It's the definition of a true CEO type job
Most people not involved with UT dont know the whole story of why they couldnt get an A list coach back in 2013. They had just hired a new AD Steve Patterson who was very unlikable and rubbed people the wrong way. He lasted all of 20 months.
Also many coaches were very close with Mack Brown and felt he was treated very poorly and disrespected and we all know coaching is a fraternity and that rubbed guys the wrong way.
it was combination of a bunch of things. in a clean slate perfect world, texas can damn near get anyone they want.
Say what you will and laugh all you want, but the Saban to Texas thing was very real and would have happened had Mack resigned and gone out on his terms.

I know your point was to slam on ignorant LSU folks here, but doesn't much of this go to explain what is inherently wrong with the Texas job?
