Jesus this really is the RichRod thing all over again, right down to lots of people completely ignoring what a poo poo job Strong did because some boosters were mean to him or whatever.

Agreed

Him being on the hotseat in season 1 was dumb boosters



Him being fired now is a slightly quick trigger, but not particularly unexpected or unwarranted. If he had has more success in any of his previous years, he would have enough slack for another season, but he hasn't shown enough at Texas to buy himself more time

I've suggested this before but Mourning View turned it down because he has a secret agenda

I swear this was the title the year USC fired Kiffin

Really strange timing. Have to think they've got something in the works for Chip Kelly or at least think they do.

gently caress that, he needs to go the the big 12 or some other conference that USC never plays against

It's a little early to say the Swann thing has worked out. The Helton hire might wind up being fine but it was still the result of the same narrow minded philosophy towards coaching hires that messed the program up in the first place.

It just seems like Tennessee should be in a position where they should be capable of getting someone with actual administrative experience. Just throwing the job at someone famous associated with the program seems like incredibly lazy fanboard stuff. It's also funny that he's now the beloved figurehead from the glory years when the end of his tenure was kinda ugly and he for all intents and purposes was fired.

Helton was hired by Pat Hayden
