Didn't Strong pull the same shite with Tenn. last year? I'd be pissed if i was a UL fan


Yeah. We all thought it was done but he backed out at the last minute.

However, Texas is offering him substantially more than Tennessee and Texas is obviously in much better shape than we were/are.

Is the stumbling block Saban?


Appears to be DL coach Clint Hurtt who was involved in the recruiting scandal at Miami. I believe he was Miami's recruiting coordinator.

quote:

Hurtt's punishment comes as a result of him receiving and providing impermissible benefits to recruits while at Miami, according to the NCAA. The organization also found that Hurtt and another former Miami assistant provided false and misleading information to its investigators, known formally as the 10.1 unethical conduct rule violation.

Strong has the Fla pipeline too


Exactly!!! Florida and Texas pipeline. Don't underestimate this hire, if true.

As for those who claim he hasn't proven anything because of Louisville competition. He has done as well at Louisville as Petrino did. Anybody think Petrino is not a good coach? And he beat an 11 win Florida team and Miami.

Do you think Petrino gets a call?

So Texas is giving Strong the keys to the program.......but is already telling him who he can't hire That's just the beginning of this train wreck. Texas needs to take this opportunity and back out.....spend a couple extra million and hire a real coach like Shaw, Dantonio, Gundy or Swinney....all 4 of these coaches will have a hard time turning down 6.5-7 million per year.

I think he will get a call, but won't be a serious candidate.

No, I'm looking at facebook with fans and former players who want him to stay.

Everybody laughs at Swinney...but he has made Clemson a top 15 program and won 10 games the past 3 seasons.

Is it him or his asst coaches that add the pop. Look at Fran without Patterson. Who's propping Swiney up?

I like Strong


I do, too. Not sure if this is the home run hire the Texas boosters were expecting.

He's only 53 and finally turned around Louisville after the Petrino/Kragthorpe debacle.

Swiney reminds me of Tubs with Petrino as his OC.

Really like Strong. Just don't think Texas is right for him. Tough to turn down that money, but i think he could take UL to new heights with their move to the ACC. Has the rep after rebuilding them. Solid recruiting in florida that could be expanded nationally. Allure of playing FSU, UM, Clemson etc annually. He has it made already.
