Yeah, you don't coach a program like Texas and get away with losing to Kansas w/ your job on the line.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He was never a fit. Like Rich Rod and Michigan.

 

[Bonzai12]

let the rumors fly

Would they go after Les?

 

[Gene Parmesan]

No. It'll be Herman as the #1 target.

 

[mouser]

How much money are the angry Texas boosters contributing to pay off Strong's remaining contract?

 

[Reality Check]

They have been pushing to get rid of Strong since last year. So I would assume a good portion.

I would expect Strong to revive himself at a mid-to-low tier program. The stage was just too big for him and you simply can't lose to Kansas.

 

[Halladay]

No. It'll be Herman as the #1 target.

I suspect they will have fight LSU for him.

I think I saw there was a $10 million buyout if he got canned

LSU is going to hire Oregeron..watch.

Oil Money.... nothing to them.

When you lose to Kansas for the first time since 1938, someone is going to feel it. This was just the icing on the cake, so to speak.

 

[Bonzai12]

so....

Strong is saying no one has told him he's fired.

I don't think this is verified yet.

Several Texas players said that talk of a possible boycott was real, but that there’s no way they would have followed through with it.

“Yeah, it was real, but we’re not going to boycott,” Texas senior receiver Jacorey Warrick said Monday. “We’re going to play. That was just people angry about expressing their thoughts. Coach Strong was not going to let us boycott that game.”

Quarterback Shane Buechele echoed those thoughts about a boycott.

“It’s not going to happen,” the freshman said.

Offensive tackle Connor Williams explained that it was just a volatile situation involving Strong.

“Everybody’s emotional about it,” Williams said. “As a point, we’re not just playing for Coach Strong. We’re playing for the university as a whole and Longhorn Nation.”

Texas big money boosters were split on Charlie. They thought they had Saban in the bag until Mack pitched a fit.
