May just be me, but I'm not greatly impressed with Charlie Strong. Was above average at Louisville. Beat some overrated Florida and Miami teams. Those are his claim to fame.
I don't think Strong was a step up from Mack Brown.
Guess we will see in a few years.

TAMU is in the SEC now. UT had to do something. Strong is going to be good. I doubt he wins a nattie.

Yeah, only getting to a Sugar Bowl at Louisville was above average. That "overrated" Florida unit beat LSU, FWIW.

Mack was good, but his time needed to be up.

Keep in mind, CS was a great coach/recruiter at Florida too (so at least he's been a part of a big-name program). I think it'd be interesting to see if he mixes both Texas and Florida talent there for his recruiting (his staff recruited Florida pretty well). It all depends on how he puts together his staff, obviously. I think he'll do fine.

Strong was 2-1 against ranked opponents in his 4 years at UL. I'd say with an all american QB, you can mask some of your coaching deficiencies. I still think he will be a good coach, but you can't base anything on what he did at UL. Especially since Clint Hurt won't be going with him.

This is not about Mack vs Strong.
Mack needed to go - this year or next but he needed to go.
Whether or not Strong is worth a shite as a replacement is the discussion but flat out it was time for Mack to head out.

IMO Strong is a home run hire. He will have Texas as a consistent top 10 defense, which is his strong point. And for those that say he made is name off of Teddy B. well the state of Texas churns out QB's at an alarming rate. He will bring an SEC style mindset on defense to Texas which will not bode well for the Big 12.

He accomplished what he needed to in a weak conference. People on this board sit here and say Boise State was overrated for playing no one. But think Charlie Strong is this monster coach in waiting.
Florida that year was like 2011 LSU but with lesser athletes. You can't hide your QB every game and expect to win. Eventually you'll get beat.
He may prove to be a good head coach at Texas. I think he was a little under proven to be the next head coach at Texas.
I also wonder how many of the Texas targets told them no. Maybe at that point he was the best available after the Saban's and Mora's.

Without a doubt this was the case but there are plenty of times you just get lucky and end up with the right guy at the right time. At the very least Curtis Johnson was Tulane's 4th or 5th option

Facts be damned when a point is to be proven.

Why do people think Strong is overrated? I've seen some people say that on this website and I don't really understand the reasoning. Do they think that Bridgewater covered his deficiencies as a coach? Doesn't the fact that he recruited Bridgewater, a nationally heralded recruit, to Louisville from Miami of all places speak to his recruiting abilities?
I think this is a really solid hire by Texas.

the thing is that mack had gotten stale. his recruiting policies were outdated and he just didn't go back to the "basics" which is what he did to build the tejas program. he would sit in his office and "select" his recruits. his famous line went something like this...."we know who we want and they will have their chance, if they select to go to the greatest college on earth there will be a place for them but they'd better select early or we'll just go and select someone else".
the hell of it is that it worked for a little while and then his competitors just chipped away and chipped away and outworked him. i also feel he and his staff were not good talent evaluators; they probably overrelied on the damn recruiting services. lastly i think he surrounded himself with sycophants and let the program run itself while he smoozed and playcated the longhorn channel.
charlie strong will bring new energy and new blood into a program that has a close proximity to one hell of a lot of great high school talent. my understanding is that he is a very good recruiter and i think he is a good coach. and it's not like the cupboard is bare, he just needs a damn quarterback. also, his assts have to be better than mack had.

Probably because his record in 4 years (at UL) against ranked opponents is 2-1. I think he is going to be a good coach, but Texas is reaching a bit here. We really don't know what kind of Coach Charlie is at this point.
