ETA: Pete Thamel (@SIPeteThamel) is also reporting Strong as next UT coach:

High ranking Texas official tells @sinow that Strong is the choice to be the next coach. (As other outlets have reported).

So was this "Texas has more money than the Vatican" a huge lie?

So much for Payton, Harbaugh, Tomlin, Saban, etc

None of these were leaving their current jobs. Money is not always the motivating factor- esp at that level.

"Splash" hires just don't happen very often. It's no knock on Texas.

Perfect timing is needed to get a HUGE name coach.

That said, I think Strong is a good hire and will breathe new life into Texas. He will be able to compete with Sumlin and TAMU for recruits.

I wonder if their boosters like Red, Joe, Tex and Jim Bob are ok with a black man running their beloved UT football team?

I don't know, but horns247 is calling Strong "the new Sheriff in town."

cries about this being on rant board and then immediately comes to MSB to make more neg comments.

Racism exposed?
