AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- A billionaire donor to the University of Texas says the hire of new football coach Charlie Strong was like a ''kick in the face.''
Red McCombs has donated millions to Texas, and his name is on the north side of the football stadium. He publicly lobbied for Texas to hire Jon Gruden.
Hours after Strong was introduced Monday at a campus news conference, McCombs, the former owner of the Minnesota Vikings and the San Antonio Spurs, complained to KZDC-AM in San Antonio that he was ignored in the coaching search.
''I think it is a kick in the face,'' McCombs said. ''Beyond the fact of what actually happened. We have boosters that have a lot of knowledge about the game.''

You have to try hard to post something that past its prime. This is the internet!
