Keep an eye on this one. Another poor season on the field in Austin may lead to a new AD bringing in a new coach. Would put Strong in play down here if/when Golden was fired.
Strong is now on the hot seat. Could see them pulling the trigger and bringing in Saban after this year. If Strong is let go than it could be a possibility of him landing the Miami gig... Who would strong bring in as an offensive guy since he just demoted his friend he brought with him from Louisville. Or this could happen Butch as HC with Strong as DC since Texas will be paying him just like Muscrap is doing at Auburn.
UM wouldn't touch Strong. Would make too much sense.
Seriously....Why would Charile go back to being a DC esp. at Miami?
The guy has proven success as a HC and would get another opportunity else where.
And hypothetically, even if he would consider, what makes you think Miami would pay him the type of cash it would take to bring him in as a DC?

These people are nuts. No connection to reality. We'd be lucky to get him as head coach. These are the same type that we're worried about Texas stealing Burch in another thread. He wouldn't even be on their radar.
Rice badly outplayed UT. Based on what happened in the Rice game, I can see Strong getting beat down by Cal this week and that program going into a bad tailspin this year. That could wind up getting him fired.
Really baffled as to why people are so willing to turn a blind eye to Strong's alarmingly atrocious decision making at UT.
Strong announced in February that he wanted to overhaul UT's offense into an up-tempo spread to adapt to their recruiting base. That was smart. But then he retained offensive coordinator Shawn Watson to implement those changes, even though Watson's entire resume revolved around running a methodical, pro-style West Coast offense. That was monumentally f***ing stupid and it predictably blew up in his face, resulting in Watson's playcalling duties being revoked one game into the 2015 season.
While Golden has always tried to fit a square peg into a round hole with his players and has been unwilling to make changes to his staff, Strong tried to fit a square peg into a round hole by keeping Watson to run an offense he had no experience with. Mind-numbingly stupid decision and a red flag that's impossible to ignore.
