re: Charlie Strong facing a power struggle already in hiring his people

People assume Strong always wanted to bring in Watson but his public comments actually refute this notion, mainly because Watson does not have Texas ties and is not known as a spread offense guy.
Word on the street is that Watson and Wickline will be co-OC. Which means that Watson is the OC, but due to the negative feedback from the initial word that he was the guy, Strong has to hide that fact under the co-OC contrivance. This also means that Texas whiffed on a "splash" OC hire.

Burton is flat out saying that the reason Wickline is being given the OC title is to avoid paying Okie State the $600k buyout for a lateral move

I assume you mean Burton is saying this - as right now he is the only one (then you have Chip Brown saying Scott Linehan is interviewing, then you have some other guy saying it's Joker Phillips....no one not named Charlie Strong and Steve Patterson has a clue what they're talking about).
I'd be fine with Wickline and Watson as Co-OCs (there are several reasons to name someone a Co-OC). Like I said earlier, I'd like to see how this all plays out before coming to any conclusions about the success, or lack thereof, of Strong hiring coaches.
ETA - I forgot to add that others are saying it's going to be Lincoln Riley from ECU.
