Agreed, below average hire for above average money. I don't see this upgrading the program from Brown.

I never knew it was this possible for texas to screw this whole thing up this bad
then they are paying double what strong was making
I don't know what happened with saban, but they screwed that situation up beyond belief

What happened is, it was never happening in the first place. Your wishful thinking (used loosely) and jealously of Bama + Saban's success + the decline at LSU clouded rational thinking by many LSU faithful.

Chicken, their MO is that, if someone they want says no to them, they "never officially offered". That has always been the case with recruiting.

Mediocre hire.
Bah. With what he's done at Louisville, great hire.
We all knew they weren't going to get a Harbaugh/Saban/Peyton type. I think its an excellent hire for them, though time will tell which of us is right.

Shut up.

Saban's "process" is to stop the run and call it a day.
Saban's career record against the Big 12 is 3-3, and the few times he's played up-tempo, spread offenses---he didn't fare so well. Briles, Gundy, Stoops, Kingsbury offenses would've made him rip his hair out.
Stoops just put up 350 yards passing on Saban with a freshman QB from Texas starting his 5th game, Manziel personally put up 500 yards on Saban as a Frosh and almost 600 yards on him as Soph.
Strong will recruit better than Mack Brown, and will add Florida and Georgia to Texas' recruiting grounds.
And Strong is far and beyond the X and O coach that Mack Brown was.
