re: Why Charlie Strong could not get it done at Texas?

i think its a combination of things:
1. i think he never had complete support from the admin/power brokers, the ones that didn't support his hiring never got in line once the hire was made

2. The team was in bad shape, especially on the LOS towards the end of mack's tenure, plus there was a culture lacking discipline within the team that needed to be cleaned up. Charlie cleaned it up as he saw fit, got rid of some older players that wouldn't get on board and went young.

3. The QB situation that he walked into was atrocious. almost LSU bad.

4. bad timing- he came into the league when Baylor and TCU were on historic upswings. this plus lack of connection within the TXHS ranks made recruiting a tougher prospect

all that said i think texas is a 8-10 win team next year with or without strong
