I guess Joe Jamail really has a lot of pull if he was able to make this happen this quickly.

As far as a replacement AD, if Patterson's vice-AD already was handling the day-to-day operations then there's no reason not to name him interim AD and UT can take their sweet time. No need to even name one really until December while football is going on. If they do in November or so then it'd be a clear sign Charlie Strong is on his way out and all hands are needed on deck for another search.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:He had a good OC. Like Watson was incredibly successful at Louisville. Watson was incredibly successful at eating clock, keeping the defense off the field, not turning the ball over, and scoring enough points to win if the defense played lights-out. He did turn Teddy Bridgewater in to an awesome QB who could run that pro-style/West Coast offense. He gets credit for that. But that philosophy is not going to work in the Big 12. Look at Gary Patterson. There's another defensive-minded coach who had success in a lesser conference before finding himself in the Big 12. He tried to stick to his old ways and led the conference in defense for 2 years while losing a ton of games. Once he abandoned the idea of playing defense on both sides of the ball and started playing Texas-style offense, he suddenly had one of the better teams in the country. The best defense in the Big 12 will never be able to hold the best offenses down, no matter how much you dominate TOP. You must be able to put up a lot of points. Jerrod Heard is the archetype for the QBs coming out of Texas these days. He will not ever be good at running the WCO. But he can throw quick passes and deep jump balls at WRs in single coverage or pull it down and take off running, and he can do that really, really well. That was our bread and butter back when Texas had an identity on offense and actually had success. That's basically what Vince and Colt were. Ever since Bama broke Mack's brain and we got away from that, it's been bad times. Based on one game against Rice and the scuttlebutt coming out of the program, it sounds like we're looking at getting back to that. If Strong will commit to allowing his offense to play offense instead of being mostly an appendage of the defense, he will do just fine once he gets another class or two in here. But he must decide whether he wants to be Gary Patterson or Will Muschamp. Thermos H Christ fucked around with this message at 15:54 on Sep 15, 2015 |

I am going to give you a spoiler: Charlie Strong won't survive more than more bad season, particularly with a new AD. I also think your supposition about having to have a "high flying offense" is kind of silly and ignores the success that, you know, Kansas State has had for years and also that, like WVU's offense as ran by Dana "Air Raid" Holgo is basically a clock control offense now.

BI NOW GAY LATER posted:lol what Strong has said it himself. QBs and skill players from Texas came up playing wide open offense. Recruits here do not want to come play boring cro-magnon ball control offense or memorize 10-lb WCO playbooks when they could go shine at Baylor or TCU or A&M. He cited that as a reason for switching to an alleged uptempo spread offense this year, going so far as to call it a necessity for recruiting. Unfortunately he kept Watson on to install that offense, which worked out about as well as Mack Brown telling Greg Davis to give him Bama's offense.

You do know that almost every QB that both KState and WVU have recruited came out of Texas? And that, you can have a run-first, ball control offense and still be spread/zone read? Like saying that you can't have a run-first offense because, Texas, is dumb as hell. BI NOW GAY LATER fucked around with this message at 16:15 on Sep 15, 2015 |

And how many recruiting battles for top Texas QBs are KState and WVU winning against A&M, Baylor, and TCU nowadays? And yes I am aware that Gus Malzahn and Chad Morris exist. What they do is very different from what Watson was doing at Louisville and what he tried to do here last year. I can't even tell what he was trying to do this year.

Worrying about who gets the most ***** recruits, versus worrying about getting the best guy to run a system says a lot about what's wrong with your thinking. Also still doesn't disprove the point that run-heavy, clock control offenses can and do work in the league, particularly with the amount of talent you can recruit to Texas. I'd also generally say that Strong's is wrong about "pro-style" offenses being able to work in the Big XII, but that's really a seperate issue.

It's interesting that the "final straw" may well have been the story about UT charging the TTU band for seats, which means that a reporter on TTU's Rivals site wound up getting Patterson fired.

The funniest thing about this is that charging bands for seats already happens all the time. It just didn't happen among the Texas-based Big 12 because of a gentleman's agreement they had. Patterson pretty much had nothing to do with that at all. Supposedly the posters at I. M. Gei fucked around with this message at 17:52 on Sep 15, 2015 |

How can you be a "bad fit" at Texas? With all of that in-state talent I don't even see how it's possible not to succeed there but obviously it is more than possible.

Strong will make a winner out of Texas if they give him time to recover from Mack's awful roster/recruiting management. Or they can hope for the quick fix and sink this ship even further. As though 1 coaching hire will magically fix the void of quality linemen on both sides of the ball.
