Because you've been wanting him gone for 2 years now. He's never had the support previous coaches have had. How old is that fire Charlie thread on shaggy?


Texas would prove it's own administrative issues with a Charlie firing. They cant even be confident in their own decisions, or even if they make a decision, they continually question it.

Sounds like administration issues are bigger than the football issues. You even had to fire your AD barely one year into the job. How far does it Go? And now a top booster is running your AD? What a mess.

Charlie Strong is a defensive coach who hasn't held an opponent to less than 45 points this year. If Texas continues on similar trending for this year in terms of losses and horrible d, then Strong getting fired is completely reasonable.

And...? The audacity some of you LSU fans have is mind boggling. Charlie Strong's best season hasn't even reached Les Miles' worst season and yet y'all kick him out the door. Yet, we're the "bad guys" because we aren't content with 5 and 6 win seasons.

Strong wasn't our top pick and his performance is showing. What school would want some of these results?

2014, 6-7
BYU L 41-7
Kansas State L 23-0
TCU L 48-10
Arkansas L 31-7

2015, 5-7
Notre Dame L 38-3
TCU L 50-7
Iowa State L 24-0 (following beating Kansas State and Oklahoma).Iowa State also won only 3 games that year
West Virginia L 38-20

2016, 2-2
Cal L 50-43 (let's not forget they had a TD called back to the 1yd line and lost to San Diego State)
Oklahoma State L 49-31

He's a defensive coach producing horrible, abysmal defenses. Do you really think giving up these results is acceptable? It's pushing three years.

We pay a premium amount ( Charlie Strong - #6 highest paid coach) and expect a premium product.
