Let me preface that I do not watch the longhorns, however I do know he inherited a program in disarray.

Would he be worth a shot as HC, keeping Aranda, and bringing in someone like Kiffin or Major Applewhite?

I like the guy a lot but I don't think it'd sell well here. He'll get another job though, probably something smaller.

I agree. From everything I have read he wasn't given long enough to succeed, but I have no clue if that's true or not.

Go away forever? It's an honest question to tide me over during this week of craziness.

I watched the Kansas game. His players seemed uninterested.

He'll make a great DC for LSU after Texas tries to break the bank for a Herman/Aranda combination (for the record I hope that combo ends up in P&G).

I think it would be a no brainer to hire him as DC if Aranda left but I dont think he should get HC job here.

For the record if Aranda leaves I think LSU should pull out the red carpet for Charlie as DC.

I don't understand why people are bringing up coaches who are getting fired/having awful seasons like strong and brian Kelly for this job. It makes no sense.

I think he can still be a head coach after this, but I doubt it would be at a big program right now. I like him a lot, but I certainly would not want him to be our head coach right now. Now if it was for DC if Aranda happened to leave (which I don't think will happen), then I would love him as DC. He might be interested.

I'm not usually this harsh, but the fact that you would even bring up the possibility of looking at Charlie Strong as a candidate shows that you have absolutely no clue what this program needs. Even suggesting that we look at a coach who just got fired after going 16-20 exposes a new level of idiocy within our fan base (assuming you are a fan). Actually, it would make more sense if you were a 'Bama troll. Once again, please go away forever.

Which is the only reason he still had a remote chance of keeping his job until they lost to a 1-9 Kansas team who hadn't won a conference game in 2 years. Even in disarray, Texas shouldn't be finishing with 7 losses 3 years in a row.

Maybe at Houston to replace Herman, but not worth a shot for a program that expects to compete for NC's. Had a shot and he failed miserably.

quote:

and bringing in someone like Kiffin

Why do so many people on this board seem to think that Kiffin would leave Alabama for anything besides a HC gig? Why leave the top program in the country right now to take the same job at a program that would be a downgrade at the moment unless he was being offered a promotion to HC?
