If true Texas will be a juggernaut because of his Florida connections. Wow

So the "flagship" in Texas hires someone with absolutely no ties to Texas High Schools. This is like an Allstate Mayhem commercial.

Strong is a gamble at best. Winning with Teddy and UL schedule isn't that telling of how good he would be at a big school. If they are already that far down their list they should hire Franklin. Winning anything at Vandy is more impressive than going undefeated at UL.

I'm wondering about some of the comments here. Strong has been in the conversation as a leader since day 1. Nothing shocking about the hire.

If he is indeed able to recruit well in the SE/Florida then he will take the program to another level IMO. There are too many cooks in the kitchen in Texas now to live solely there, like Mack insisted on doing.

He'll have some of the best coaches in the country on staff. Excited about the hire is an understatement.

Could be good. Need a few years. Def overpaid, but hey. I don't think he will have a problem recruiting, but like others said... only been a hc for a short time. He's bout to run with the big boys wonder if he can handle the pressure. Just this proves again that LSU fans that want les gone are idiots. Your not just going to be able to get whoever you want.

Average coach at best. Needed a black HC to compete on same homey level as A&M.

Honestly, Strong has very poor speaking skills and he will be a disaster on the LHN. Little difference between listening to him and a d-lineman from rural MS.

Clearly UT was turned down many times.

Solid, but unspectacular choice.

UT going on the cheap.

Congrats to Texas. Mack wanted to recruit in Florida, Charlie will. Looking forward to seeing the battle of Strong's defense philosophies against Briles, I'm a man, and pretty boy.

Good luck coach Strong!
