Some of these posts are just retarded, no offense meant to the mentally handicapped out there, wasn’t meant as a slight to them.
Charlie Strong is a smart fellow, one helluva coach and recruiter. A black head coach that can recruit in Texas is going to do well, look at Kevin Sumlin. Strong’s biggest challenge is going to be dealing with the politics of Texas’ program. Strong has a much better resume’ than Mack Brown did when he came and you can bet that he’s smart enough to bend MB’s ear on advice. I swear some of you seem to think this was an Affirmative Action hire by Texas, it wasn’t, it was a smart hire.
Charlie Strong will win a NC at Texas and start beating OU like a drum in a few years.
Yeah, they’ll expect him to win but not 11 games right away, not even 10. He’ll get a few years grace and I’m sure do quite well.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.“Life’s tough…It’s even tougher if you’re stupid” John Wayne

I was hoping Spurrier would retire and Charlie Strong would slide in to be head coach for South Carolina. The man is going to be great for Texas. He was my top choice behind Saban. Me and Salty know the deal:smiley:.

Oh another short lived tenure scenario for CS at Texas is if the NFL comes calling. May just end up being the first black HC of the Cowboys down the road but, I doubt he heads to the pros.

I hope he stays in college football. People with his composure are what is good about CFB. I know they all get mad/angry on the side lines(Penini, stoops, guy from Florida that I cant remember right now) but CS usually keeps his head on right.
Sorry you take such offense at other’s opinions Salty. I respect your opinion on the matter, but take it as everyone else’s, equal. You don’t know anymore about what is going to happen than any of the rest of us. Your guess is a good as mine or DF’s, or FISH’s.
Plus, I said it would make it difficult for Charlie, not run him out of town as you like to embellish. I am assuming that you do not believe that racism exists in Texas?

Ding ding ding! We have a winner…
How do you know he will recruit well in Texas. It is a winner if he pulls that off, but that is yet to be seen. Kevin Sumlin inherited some great players, Manziel being the most important one. We have yet to see if his recruits will fare well.
Rick Neuheisel made a good point on the DP show. He said his success will rely a lot on whether he can win over the high school coaches in Texas. I know Salty doesn’t agree with this, but I would bet that there are way more bigoted head HS coaches in Texas than in Kentucky and that area. Not saying he won’t do it, just that it is going to be hard!
Strong is a great coach, but he is not a very charismatic man and doesn’t like dealing with the media or schmoozing from what we are told. He will have to learn how to like all of that at Texas.

Whether or not it makes sense, the deciding factor for many (black) recruits will hinge on the race of the coach. This gives CS a major leg up with all other “factors” being equal. And as far as schmoozing and baby-kissing, winning will insulate him from having to do a lot of that stuff. Not to mention, if Saban can do it, Charlie Strong should be okay.
