Texas is 2-1, with 9 regular season games remaining. Strong would have to win 6/9 remaining games to get to 8 wins. Unless the Texas defense dramatically improves, possible losses include: @ Oklahoma State, vs OU, vs Baylor, @ Texas Tech, vs West Virginia, and vs TCU (6 games). I see Texas winning vs Iowa State, @ Kansas State, and @ Kansas (3 games).
You are right, it was a disaster. However, I am satisfied by how it turned out. David Pierce is not flashy, but, definitely is all business. I like that.
I hope the defense improves and we win 9 games. I'm not saying we won't. I am saying that I do not think it will happen without a really good defensive turn-around (we allow more points than Notre Dame).
Patterson, I think will stay put at TCU,he is an Icon in Fort Worth.You need to add more as You might not get any on this list.
Oh I don't disagree. Think he will do a fine job. Just sorta feel like we fell in to the right guy. Not sure we wanna try thst again.
You want Strong gone though so your bias has shown since week 1
You are incorrect. I say what I mean and don't need others to speak for me. I will let you know when/if I think Texas should get rid of Strong. Until then, I simply want to win 9 games this year (just 2 more than last year in a down year for the Big 12).
The bad thing is I just saw that Ed Orgeron will be the interim. He didn't go quietly at USC because he wanted the gig. It may not be an unnecessary distraction at LSU like it was at USC, but, I guess he is the best and most qualified to be the interim.
I don't understand these re-treads like Orgeron. Didn't Orgeron crap the bed at Ole Miss as the HC? Dude is a DL coach. I hope he wins several games and gets the job fulltime because I guarantee he'll crap the bed. He's a career assistant for a reason.
His wife is from the Fort Worth area with family members,he could have 3 losing years at TCU and still have a job.If he had two at LSU,he would be gone.I do not think money in the only thing for Patterson or else he would have left like other TCU coaches.He coached with Fran and saw what happened to him.
It wouldn't APPEAR that A&M would be looking for another job, but I've been down this road before. I'm thinking we still have 4 games we could lose with Alabama, Ole Miss, Tennessee and LSU. I realize that if all things are equal LSU is the better job, but you never know what can happen with the coaching world. LSU may go a different direction. I'm thinking Sumlin is safe this year, because like you I THINK A&M might only lose 2 games this year.
IF and I say IF Texas was to be embarrassed by Oklahoma St this weekend, what do you think happens? I think it's still too early in the season for anything and I think it would start with the firing of Bedford first. However, if Texas was to get beat substantially by Oklahoma St would there be enough of a pattern here for Texas fans and the brass to want to pull the trigger? For what it's worth I think Texas wins this weekend, but it's just a what it scenario.
Saw on another board that some are saying Texas could have an interest in Miles if Strong faulters. I personally don't think that would be a good hire.
They only have 2 road block in their way, Bama and Ole Miss...possibly 3 in Tennessee. Summy returns.
Probably not, but Mack inhearted a program that was in a bit better shape.
