I was a huge strong supporter out the gate , but man has he regressed tremendously , I honestly think the kids play thier arse off for him , but IMO he dosent consistently put them in the best position , idk , maybe I'm wrong , I highly doubt Saban leaves Bama , he's a immortal God there , & why mess with prosperity in Sabans case , everyone else would probably be fair game , I think the Herman sweepstakes is a knee-jerk reaction & not the best one , we'll see..

i would love a Harbaugh or Meyer ...I don't see Meyer leaving but I could see Harbaugh coming back to the college ranks of the ravens don't do any better...

I would say give Herman his due process. But I'm just not a big fan as of right now .,but I would hate for him to go to LSU an turn them into a power house

IMO the most realistic expectation would be Herman or Peterson. I like the latter. I was never sold on Herman, nor completely on Peterson, but if they are set on a new coach he would be a formidable choice. Saban, Harbaugh, Meyer, and Fisher seem pretty unrealistic. I would be thrilled for a Dabo Swinney to Texas move. With Watson leaving for the NFL, I could see Dabo considering that move. Doubtful, but one can dream.

Peterson is easily a Top 5 coach in the country period.  Boise St?  Boise St was a perennial BCS threat and competitive when they got there.  And then what he has done at U Dub.  

Having said that, he is not going anywhere.  The northwest is where he needs to live due to climate for his son.  He's not leaving that region or Washington.  If he was so inclined, the only other job would be to travel south all the way down to Oregon.  

Dabo will wait his time where he is.  The only spot he will leave for is to his alma mater when King Nick retires (or if he goes and takes another shot in the League).

Would love to see Dabo come to UT. I'm not sold on Herman yet. He has done a great job at Houston but has lost some games to some pretty bad teams. And, UH doesn't play in a very tough conference. Dabo has proven he can coach with anyone in the country. If you can't get a BIG NAME Hire then stay with Strong for one more year and hopefully he'll bring in a DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR to get the defense where it needs to be.

And what GOOD DC would come for possibly 1 year?

......and what HC candidates would be different next year?

A quality DC could come knowing if Strong doesn't stay, the job will be open. Usually the OC and DC get at least an interview. Especially if the said DC who would come is a damn good DC. May come, hoping to eventually land Strong's job.

Idk. Like I said, i'm not thrilled with what has been going on. I just don't think there is a big enough catch to make a difference as fast as we want. Your better off giving him another full year of Shane and that offense and go from there. Once again who is a realistic expectation?

Venables maybe?

Starting 2016, I would have been happy with 8 wins. I said a while ago after KSU, and Charlie vowing again, needed to win out including a bowl, to gain my confidence. 

I see this team winning games in spite of bad coaching!

Again expectations for any year, be competitive and win the games you should. Get better every game! None of this 1 step forward, 2 steps back. I get dizzy.

Texas fans should never worry about UTEP, Iowa St., or Kansas!!!

 

With a new coach, with the current talent, 8 wins could be easily obtained in 2017.

I am sure that any current Big XII coach would already have this team at 8 wins.

A good start would have to admit he made a COLOSSAL mistake in letting Duane Akina go when he got the job and to beg him to come back from Stanford.  Best position coach we had who put player after player in the league.  Ironically, our secondary has sucked ever since.  To be a top notch coach, you have to be able to evaluate and coach your coaches.

You hit the nail on the head. Strong's biggest mistake was getting rid of some good coaches and bringing in his guys. His guys have stunk the joint up. After fans get tired of it Charlie cans them to save his own neck. Except for his buddy Bedford. Does anybody have any idea why he is on the staff still and what does he do except pick up a check.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
