They are faulting him for being dishonest and not having the character to call the LSU coaching staff


Not only that but going the additional step of having some juvenile public announcement on signing day and using that as his notice to LSU. That is classless.

Good, I can go back to hating UT now. For a while I was sorta rooting for them to do well so they can steal A&M's recruits.

I honestly thought Strong was a better man than that.

I completely understand his wanting secrecy. The kids could have de-committed at any point without providing a front runner or committing elsewhere.

Really no need to dwell on missing Fowler now, but it will be funny if Texas continues to finish with losing seasons.

No, the main point is to just know what you are dealing with in the future.

That balance of power has apparently been restored. Aggy sucks so bad that even in their golden era of football, they still can't recruit better than a team that went 5-7 last year.

Honestly, I see his point about other schools knowing who to attack.

I will not post my thoughts on this issue as I am already on double secret probation from one of the admins. I will say I cannot wait for UT to fall flat again this season and watch Strong get his arse handed to him on the way out the door.

Duckie,
what do you read into the statement that was in the article.
We could be wrong, but if i had to put my money down.

I would say he told them not to decommit or show some love for tu.


I think the writer was reaching for more clicks. The Michigan kid decommitted. Why not have Fowler decommit too? He already knew LSU was scared of UT taking him so it's not like LSU wasn't sending everything possible that direction.

Just doesn't make any sense whatsoever. They don't play us so it wouldn't make sense to hurt us. Strong has no reason to screw over LSU.

Also, if any school was going after Fowler (which they had no shot...it was LSU or UT) they knew they had to attack both. Period. If they didn't, then they're a horrible recruiter. Everyone knew that it was UT/LSU even though he was committed to LSU. The other kids make much more sense with this style of approach.

Just my humble opinion, but I could be wrong.

On a scale from Turner Gill to Charlie Weiss, how miserable of a failure do you think Charlie Strong is at this point?

He's one more 5+ lose season from Weiss territory IMO. If he doesn't at least win 8-9 games I can't imagine they keep him.

He did have success at UL which proves that maybe some people aren't built for the big boy jobs.
