So Strong stays for another year right? Like, who else could they really get and it look like an upgrade?

PJ Fleck, I guess? Les Miles for name recognition even though he'd likely fail?

I dunno, it seemed like Texas was hinging everything on Tom Herman so losing out on him is gonna make things awkward. Especially since Charlie isn't actually fired yet.

I'd believe they hadn't fired Charlie yet simply because they knew they were going to lose out on Herman and were clueless on who else they could get.

Jesus, please not Fleck to Texas. Not because I don't want to lose Fleck (full disclosure, I don't want to lose Fleck), but the last thing we need are Longhorn fans/boosters buying into his "Have an ELITE day!" stuff and becoming more insufferable than they already are

Texas president Gregory Fenves' preference has been to keep Strong, sources told ESPN's Mark Schlabach, and the odds of Strong returning for a fourth season are expected to increase dramatically if Herman is no longer available. The Longhorns need to beat TCU on Friday to finish 6-6 and become bowl eligible.

I can see it maybe happening if they beat TCU and win their bowl game, but that is still incredible that its the most likely outcome otherwise.

quote:

LSU has zeroed in on Houston's Tom Herman as its next head coach and could have a deal in place as early as Saturday, sources told ESPN.com's Chris Low on Thursday night. Florida State's Jimbo Fisher was also near the top of LSU's wish list, but Fisher opted to stay put before talks with LSU ever got too far down the road. He's told some close to him that he thinks he could have some of his most talented teams at FSU over the next two years.

2013 is a historically good team so I dunno about that.

gently caress Charlie strong we're paying him 5m a year to lose to loving kansas. I dont even care if the replacement is a one year beater, Charlie deserves to be fired on his own merit anyway.

that being said herman going to LSU doesn't make a whole lot of sense so until I see something official I'm going to hold out hope

and then wow they go to LSU and whoops they can tackle now. LSU's first round, top ten safety pick? From Texas.

It makes perfect sense when you consider that LSU has an open head coach position and Texas does not. Also because Texas sucks.

Those aren't hot takes, they are literally the truth. Texas lost to Kansas and still employs the coach that was employed when they lost to Texas.

I mean, it's still possible. Herman could fall through and they'd basically be left with Orgeron as the only choice that at least some of the fan base might accept.

He has been good at USC and LSU as an interim HC. Maybe he just needs to coach greater programs than Ole Miss.
