One thing for sure, the SHORT turn around I was hoping for is more than likely NOT going to happen, after the way the Horns played their last 2 games this year. I believe Strong can and will turn things around but its gonna take a few years to see a major improvement. I don't believe the cupboard was left bare by Mack but the Quarterback situation does lie in Mack Browns court. Went a couple of years without recruiting a good one. And, it has bitten Texas in the buttocks the last few years.
The O-Line...... well there were players there, but some of the more gifted ones, thought they didn't have to WORK or FOLLOW the rules, and to Strongs credit, he got rid of their arses! Can't fault him for that. And, you can't fault Brown on how those kids turned out.
