Charlie Strong

u right you gotta give him time to bring in recruits but its unbelievable hes ranked #7 in state of texas in recruiting. Houston is doing a better job. his class is horrible right now

I trust Strong's eye.

Texas has gotten plenty of five star scrubs. TCU wins with the small, fast and tough recruits. Strong will find those guys like he did at Louisville.

I really don't get how you guys are so sure he's going to be retained or why you think he should. Look at their remaining schedule. He'll be lucky to get 4 more wins this year to add to his 1-2 record already.

I think Strong, at the very least, must improve. If he doesn't win 7, I can see them giving him the GTFO.

And what, lose? Perhaps it was more Bridgewater and less Strong.

The top 5 defense had nothing to do with it? And why did an Army All-American like Bridgewater go to a school like Louisville?

Strong will win if they give him time to work. He inherited a disaster.
 
Not inly that hes 7th in texas in recruiting lol houston is out recruiting him yes houston.

His class is horrible so far
 
Rag Strong's offense all you want, but the biggest problem I see is that a defensive specialist is fielding a defense that is getting destroyed.

Agreed but I really don't see how he gets there with that schedule. They'll be hard pressed to even beat WVU on the road.

Even beat WVU? WVU will slaughter them. That's a good WVU team this year. There's not a sure win on that schedule.

In rushes "advanced metric" guy to assure everyone that their eyes are lying.

Guy dominated the Big East with an NFL QB. And he beat an overrated one-dimensional UF team in a bowl game.

He didn't inherent a dumpster fire, he turned UT into one though.

You're stockholmed, homie. The big institution isn't always right.

Because Shannon left.

How is that Texas D now?

What will Strong win? Seriously, if they give him another season, what will he win? I see a guy struggling greatly. You think he can compete with Briles or Patterson? This is a guy struggling with Cal at home.

This.

"Top 5 defense" is an advanced metric now? What type of stats are you using?

Strong has built dominant defenses at every stop. His last two years at Louisville, he won 23 games and destroyed Florida and Miami in bowls. Bridgewater was a player with no local ties that Strong recruited to a program with no prestige.

Mack Brown left a roster with no talent, no quarterback and horrible attitudes. Give Strong four years like he had at Louisville and he will develop a monster. It takes time.

Yeah no doubt.

Coach's Golden and D'nofrio are fielding a top 15 D as well.

Nothing to see here people.

Just a bunch of coaching genius' doing their thang.

In 2012 Texas had the number 2 recruiting class in the country according to 247sports. Strong may want folks to believe he was left with a bunch of JAG's with bad attitudes but he basically was left with slightly better players than Golden was left with. Strong hasn't improved recruiting and is getting ready to lose the next 4 games. Strong was at Louisville for 4 years and yeah he won but look what he left Patrino.

Strong(?) and Chip have a similar MO. They decimate their team of capable players, and replace them with lesser ones. Again, good coaches take advantage of their player talents, not toss them out like fodder.
 
Strong's bagman (Hurtt) did a very good job with Teddy B.

He was a wonderful DC with Urban's 5 stars.

Strong is another overrated defensive coordinator that has to rely on a guy making 1/10 his salary to win (his offensive coordinator).

Wow...monster!!

In 2011 he loses to Syracuse and UConn back to back. Beats nobody.

In 2012 he loses to UCF. Beats Houston by 3. Beats Cincinatti by 6. Beats nobody else.

Beat exactly 1 ranked team in a meaningless bowl game.

Strong is a fraud.
 
In 2012 Texas had the number 2 recruiting class in the country according to 247sports.

They were overrated losers.

Texas had 5 players drafted in the past two years. Only 2 of those players were picked on the first or second days.

Louisville had 14 players drafted in the past two years, including 4 first rounders and 4 second-day picks.

Strong is another overrated defensive coordinator that has to rely on a guy making 1/10 his salary to win (his offensive coordinator).

Louisville finished 2nd in scoring defense in 2013. The Gators finished 3rd in scoring defense in 2008. South Carolina finished 12th in 2001.

He left all of those defenses as top units. He will do the same at Texas if they let him.
 
Strong has a great eye for talent and develops well. If he's given one more year I wouldn't be surprised to see them win their conference. He just needs time which is something I don't think he has.
